about 10 years and during which
time Mr.. Haue worked as a gar.
dener. His love for trees, shrub.
berry, flowers and the like has
been exemplified wherever he has
made his home. Four children
we're born to this union.
During their residence at St
Louis they were also back to Den
mark and spent couple of years
From st. Louis the family
moved to Alden in Freeborn
county-the southern part Of this

settlers in the community with
the removal of army parapherna-

the folds of its mother country
after the World War.

FARM CENSUS
IS TAKEN NOW


Washington, ID. C.--The De-
partment Of Commerce is to take
a census Of agriculture covering
crop of 1924 and relating to con-
ditions on or near January /.
1925. This is the first Census Of
Agriculture to be taken midway
between the decennial censuscs;
the Act Of Congress authorizing
it is based on the belief that,
with rapidly changing conditions
in agriculture. there should be q
stock-taking as often as every
five years. The work Of taking
the census began on Decem-
Der l. and is to be completed on
or before January 81. As rapidly
as possible after the receipt Of
returns statements viii be re-
leased for the press. by the Cen
sus Bureau at Washington. rela-
tive to production Of the princi-
pal farm crops and the values Of
farm properties. including land.
buildings, machinery. and live
stock.
The enumeration will require
services Of 5000 to 10000 emu
merators acting under the direc-
ton Of 212 supervisors. who have
for the most part been selected
from the employees Of the Bur-
eau Of the Census and the De-
partment Of Agriculture. EN-
ployecs Of the Forest Service will
secure the Census returns for
most Of the farms within the Ma
tional forest reserves in Arizona.
California. Colorado. Florida, Ida
no. Michigan. Minnesota, Mon
tana. Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon.
South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah.
Washington. West Virginia, and
Wyoming.
Sample questionnaires are be-
ing widely distributed to the
farmers. TO familiarize them with
the information soon to be called
for by the enumerators. In adj
dition to the usual inquiries rela-
tive to production. values. and
farm expenses, the schedule calls
for the amount Of taxes paid by
the farm operator on farm pro-
perty. including real estate tax,
personal property tax. and speci-
al assessments. II is important
to ascertain just what the burden
of taxation resting upon the farm
really is and how it compares to
the amount of taxes paid by
other interests. This may point
the way to more equitable adj
justment of the tax burden.
Heretofore the census of agri-
culture has always been taken in
connection with a complete CEN
sus Of population. This time it
will cover the farm population
only. showing the number Of per-
sons living on the farm, includ-
ing the family of the operator
and the farm laborers and their
families. These persons will be
classified as under or over ten
years of age and as white or
colored.
The extent TO which farm OBJ
orators used the purchasing and
selling facilities of farmers or

NASH DEALER
 IN BIRMINGHAM LEADS SOUTH
McC Cormack Brothers Sell More Nash Cars Than
 Any Other Dealers

Speaking of business" remarked Bill Pape, salesmanager at Mccormack Brothers the other day, i've are glad to be able to say that Birmingham is leading the entire southeast in retail deliveries on Nash cars.
 We are very proud of the fact that our organization distributes, right here around Birmingham, more Nash cars than any other point in the southeast territory---and this includes our, rival city, Atlanta. Until last September, when we were appointed Nash distribu- tor for this territory, Birmingam held ninth place in the southeast. During the first month of our Nash distributor ship, we acquired first place over Att lanta and have held the leading posi- tion ever since.
 However, it is not hard to sell Nash cars, and it is only question of very little time until they sell in even great CT volume to the Birmingham motorists. The Nash is the best value on the Amer ican market today, and thousands of Nash owners will testify to the truth of this statement. Besides, the Nash is backed by service organiza ton which is second to none and motorists are beginning to learn that this is an all-important factor in the ownership { of ascar.
 "We are selling more Nash cars ev- cry month that passes, and every one we sell makes friend for us. This month promises to be the best we, have ever had and it looks as though we are going to run short of cars before we can get more shipments from the factories. For this reason, we urge all our friends to place their orders with us while we can promise early. delivefies," x

FEATURE FILM
 IS INSTRUCTIVE
Picture By Harp Motor Go. Shows Improve
 ments Steel Making

The Hupp Motor Car corporation, in conjunction with the United States government, has just completed film, The Heat Treatment of Steels," illus trating many of the most important i'm provements to high grade steel for which the scientists of the automotive industry have been responsible. It will be sent by the government to vari- ous technical colleges and universities throughout the country to be used in classrooms.
 Scenes for the film were taken under the direction of J. M. Watson, head of Hupp's metallurgical department, in the plant of the American Gear and Manufacturing company, at Jackson, Minn., a Hupp subsidiary, the entire product of which is utilized in the manufacture of Hupmobiles.
 Officials of the Bureau of Mines ap- preached Hupp executives several months ago to obtain their cooperation in securing moving pictures of steel heat treating, as practised by the auto- motive industry. The Hupp plant at Jackson had been recommended to them as being the most efficient and most up-to-date cost-saving plant in the world devoted to the heat treatment of high grade automotive steels.
 An interesting feature of the film is that it illustrates the almost perfect control that Hupp enjoys over the steels it uses in manufacturing motor cars. It shows that by proper heat treatment any desired hardness, soft ness, toughness or brittleness can be obtained from the same bar of ordinary steel.
 From the same bar the film shows product so hard after one kind of heat treatment that it is impossible to cut through it with the toughest saw another so soft that the saw goes through the metal with ease; a third that can be bent by hand, and a fourth which is impossible to bend even with machinery, though it can be broken.
 Hupmobile distributors and dealers have already requested copies of the film for use in educating their sales men relative to the painstaking care used in constructing a modern auto- mobile. It is possible that the Motor Sales corporation, local Hupmobile dealer, will be enabled to secure it at any early date.

W. Q. DELIVERIES

Company Announces Net Earnings Of Over
 Two Millions

WiIlys- Overland retail sales for the first quarter of 1924 exceeded those for the same period of 1923, President John N. Willys told stockholders at the annual meeting held in Toledo dur ing the past week.
 In addition, sales for the second or current quarter are running at a rate in excess of those of last year, which was record one for the company.
 Mir Willys dwelt at some length on his recent 15,O00 mile trip from coast to coast, taken for the express purpose of learning retail sales conditions at first hand. He emphatically declared that the soundness of business condi- tions everywhere warranted q feeling of optimism and added that he is con fident of the continuance of a very ac- tive demand for automobiles during the summer months.
 Net earnings for Willys-0 Overland for the first quarter were announced as be- ing $2,160, ,519.74, after all interest and depreciation charges and before fed eraI taxes were deducted.
 These directors were reelected: John N Willys, Rathbun Fuller, George M Jones, Gordon Mather, o. O. Miniger c. B, Wilson, James E. Kepperly, H E. Tillotson, Joseph P, Cotton and Thomas H. Tracy.

BIG PERCENTAGE
 STUFF IN SERVICE More Than S5 Per Cent Of All
 Stutz Cars Still In Service

Authoritative figures now in the pos session of the Stutz Motor Car Company of America, Inc, indicate that s5.6 per cent of all Stutz cars built are regis tered and in use today still giving sat isfactory service. When it is considered that the Stutz company has been manufacturing auto mobiles since 1912, the significance of this statement becomes apparent. It simply means that in a period of 12 years less than 15 per cent of the entire total of Stutz cars produced have been put out of operation.
 pI do not know of any greater proof of the sturdiness of construction and the long life of the Stutz than these fig ures," declares ", E. Rosseau of Inter- state Motor company. Few companies. I believe, can point to a record such as this. s.
 "The Stutz company has always en- deayored to build the best car possible, using nothing but the finest materials obtainable and employing the greatest care and precision in the manufacture of every Stutz car.S

BIG STRIDE MADE

Probably no industry in this country has made larger strides toward perfect ing its product than the tire industry. In 1915 it was estimated that each car required five new tires year. In 1920 the estimate dropped to four tires, fsld in 1923 three and one-half tires per car year. Today the tire manufac- turers' estimate is two and one-quarter tires a year. This increase in the wearing qualities of tire has been made in the face of the fact that the average driver is probably driving his car many more miles year than he formerly did.
