Thieves Steal Mower

James Amber went to sell q mower
reently and found that 1t was gone.
Investigation showed that the thew
ing had been recent enough 80 that
he could trace the mower by follow
ing the tracks, which he did as far
as Cornish, where he lost the tracks.
The sheriffs Office was called up and
they took up the chase. They did
locate some stolen goods, among them
some other property that Mr.. Amber
identified as belonging to him; but
up to date they have not found the
mower.

The first Of the Terminal Commission
Associations to be organised under the
National Plan was the Producers Live
Stock Commission Association at the Ma
tional Stockyards (E. St. Louis), Illinois.
1t opened for business on January End and
at the end OF the seventh week Of business
reached first place among the fifty COM
mission firms doing business on that
market. All Of the directors OF the COM
pany are farmers who live in the territory
contributing to the East St. Louis market
and the company has put away a sirable
surplus each week put Of their earnings
account. , These earnings will later be pro-
rated back to the members. 90 the COM
pany operates on a cost basis. Prices
which its members have received for
their stock are said to average higher than
the average that the packers have paid
and the large packers are buying from
them on the same basis as they buy from
other commission firms.
Before the St. Louis Office opened for
business there were cooperative commits

On turnover of 1860 shares United
States Steel common continued its rise
TO HOS. "a new high for the present
movement the renewed strength giving
rise to new reports that stock divl-
dend was In contemplation. That such
move had been discussed or consid-
cred was again denied by Judge Elbert
III. Gary. chairman of the corporation.
In some quarters of the financial dis
trict yesterday it was estimated that
United States Steers net earnings in
the last quarter of the current year
will be in the neighborhood of 1850. 900.
which would compare with s27.46S,337 net
for the third quarter. Allowing for an
expected decline of about s1,0o0.0o0 in
depreciation charges. this would leave
a balance of sl1.047 900, or SIT share

change for the Glass Il common shares
Of the Pan American Petroleum and

additional shares received In yesterdays

the preferred to 1860 shares. The New

Gated whether It will retain the shares

business had been transacted. 1t Is
believed that in view of the present
record loadings and the increasing
shortage Of rolling stock the entire
car situation was discussed. The asso-
citation has a program designed to fa"'li-
tate the loading and movement y
freight cars. Heavier loading Of less
