LOW PAVING BID UP NORTH
Minnesota County Excites Iowa
Officials With Contract at S21, 120.

Ames, Iowa,-State highway Off
cials are quite elated at price of
S21,120 per mile being bid for con-
crete paving on a state road in Mn
nesota near Royalton, in Morrison
county. This is away below Dean
Marston's prediction of $4,000 paw
ing before July /, and if the bid of
this st. Paul contractor has any
influence on bidding in Iowa paving
will soon be going at half price as
compared to the peak.

Famous Flyer Wants to Enjoy Hus.
band and Perhaps Babies.

Ruth Law the great woman await
rix, who flew at the Winnesheik
County Fair several times in the past
is going to give up the high flying
stunts according to the following
dispatch from Chicago, where she
makes her home. She has announced
her attention to settle down on earth
and be known merely as Mrs. Charles
Oliver.
Heretofore her husband-manager
was known not at all, or was known
merely as the manager of the IA
nous Ruth Law.
"It's my husbands turn now; I've
been in the limelight long enough.
I'm going to let him run things
hereafter, and me, too" said Mrs.
Oliver, "Tm through with aviation
forever.
"Why?"
Because I'm a normal woman,
and want a home, babies and every
thing else that goes with married
life.
"Why, I've been married for al
most ten years to Charles Oliver,
the man who managed my exhibit
tions, and scarcely anyone knew who
he was.
"And the poor dear was so wor-
ried about me all that time that
every time / went up he lost a
pound.
Many Iowans remember the tall
tens figure of Oliver, as he stood
on the ground in front of the grand
stand watching the looping plane,
which carried his attractive wife.
Always, when the plane landed
his face lighted up with evident re-
lief.
He's More Important.
"Of course, Pm just crazy about
flying" said Ruth, who has flown
in every continent of the globe
But ones husband is more impor-
tant."
The divers are to leave soon tc
make their home in Beverly Hills.
At first Ruth thought of having
just little monoplane in the family
garage.
But she has decided even against
that.

WIDE CHANGES IN
INACTIVE STOCKS
Continued Speculative Rea'iz'
ing In Both v. G. I. and
Pennsylvania Railroad

The thin character Of the current
market was strikingly cxemplified in
the wide price variations OF several OF
the inactive local stocks in today s
operations. American Gnss for n
stance, was advance 3a points to 81 on
relatively small turnover. American

At the same time, an odd lot oferlngs

The two active features were disnp,,

to meet a liberal volume of speculative
profit taking. 1t was less surprising in
the former than the latter, for at the
high price made just before the in
crease I'm the dividend rate to q per

9 points. This profit was altogether
too alluring for the average local trader

this year would be the keynote to
successful business and that the sue
cessful manufacturers would be those
who took proper care of their dealers
from the standpoint of financing, bet

eds. He states that he found a high
appreciation of the dealer among the
manufacturers, and willingness to
help the dealer through his trying

templates should consider the dealer

know that we will ever have an OPP

ers as we have during the past, and
each one lost now will cost great

"On the other hand, the dealers
must respond to the needs of the
times by putting their houses in order
eliminating unnecessary expense.
They must have courage enough to
meet the new competition and they
must realize that the motor car and

financing and selling methods as any

TIRE DEALERS
IN ARMS OVER
DIRECT SALES

CHICAGO, April H. (Special)--
American tire dealers are demand
ing showdown from American rub
Der manufacturers; we want to know
whether they are going to sell their
future products direct to the con-
sumner or through legitimate deal
ers.' This is the assertion of A. f.
Valentine of Cleveland, president of
the National Tire Dealers associa-
ton, made before a mass meeting of
tire dealers of Northeastern Ohio,
held in Akron last week.
Valentine states that his organiza-
ton has had the matter up with
various manufacturers and that sew
eral have already agreed to market
their products through none but rec
ognized dealers. He states that he
feels sure the balance of the big
companies win fall in line and thus
eliminate the necessity for fight on
the part of his organization.
In a recent survey made by him,
Of the tire situation in Cleveland,
Valentine claims that tire sales
amounting to seven million dollars
annually were made, and that nearly
Is per cent of this amount was
swallowed up by tire manufacturers
by means of direct sales to consum-
ers through their organizations and
road statesmen.
