Oldsmobile Sales Have
Broken Previous Records
Increase of 1872 per cent the Five
Months of 1926-Average Gain
of All Makes 1874 Per cent

During the fiscal year which closes
July 81, more Oldsmobiles will have
been sold than during any similar per-
iod in the 20 years history of Odds
Motor Works, factory officials re-
port. Although only II months of
the present fiscal year have elapsed,
all previous records for an entire
sales year have been broken.
Sales of Oldsmobiles since Janu-
airy 1, have been particularly
high, surprising previous peak re-
cords. Monthly records for retail
sales of Oldsmobiles were broken
twice during this period, in both April
and May.
While the automobile industry as a
whole has enjoyed a substantial in
crease so far in 1926, the gains made
Oldsmobile have been four times
greater. During the first four
months Of the year (the latest Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce figures available) the industry
made gain of 1874 per cent over the
same period in 1925. For the first
five months this year the General Mo-
tors Corporation which produces ap-
proximately one-fourth of all auto
mobiles made in this country, Melted
a gain of 500 per cent. During the
same months Oldsmobile retail sales
to consumers increased 1872 per cent.
This gain by Oldsmobile is the
more remarkable inasmuch as it rep
resents the increase over one Of the
best spring selling seasons of the
company previous to that Of this

Eastern Butter Market Is
Showing Gradual Decline
Egg Prices Remain Stationery
Movement of Poultry Increases
Dairy Product Lively

Butter markets have developed an
easier tone. There was some advance
during the middle of last week, but
at the close prices were actually low
err. Chicago 80 score Standards Mon
day quoted at 80 cents a net decline
of ga cents as compared with week
ago. New York Extras closed at ~
cents, the same price as compared
with a week ago.
The egg market has remained prac-
tically unchanged during the entire
past week, Chicago Firsts now quot
ed 28h cents to 29A cents, an adj
vance of approximately Il cents for
the week period. New York Extras
have been unchanged, quoted at 80 II
cents to 81 n cents.
The movement of poultry contin-
ues good for this season of the year,
and with the liberal receipts demand
has, in some cases, been lacking. Dis.
elimination on heavy weight fowl Is
becoming less and this class is nov
selling on practically the same level
as light and average weight fowls.
Movement of broilers for early trade
is increasing. At the present time
there is a fairly good demand for the
heavy weight broilers.
Butter Receipts for last week rep
resent the highest point for the sea-
son thus far. There has been a gooe
demand for attractive quality jun
butter for storage purposes. This re-
suited in a free into-storage move
ment. The lower markets are due,
no doubt, directly to reports oil
more favorable pasturage and produc-
ton conditions. Also, government re-
ports on storage holdings as of June
/, show a heavy increase and big
surplus as compared with the same
time a year ago.
A report issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture
shows U. S. Cold Storage holdings

A shortage on eggs of $4,000
cases.
An increase on butter of 1875, 900

Paralysis Causes Death
Of Joseph M. Huffman
Taps Sounded for Civil War Veter-
an at Soldiers Home in Minne-
apolis-Burial at Grey Eagle

Joseph M. Huffman, civil war vet
eran and pioneer of this community
died in Minneapolis Monday June FL,
death being caused from paralysis.
The deceased was born in Venan-
go county, Penn, March 10, 1887 and
immigrated with his parents to Wis
consin where he grew to young man
hood.
In 1861 when his country called
for defenders he was among the
first to answer the call along with
three brothers, two of whom died in
the service. He served with Co. D.
18th Wis. Reg, until the close OF the
war.
In the year of 1866 he was united
in marriage to Orpha E. Gravatt and
in 1878 they came to Minnesota and
settled at Grey Eagle where they ex-
perienced the joys and hardships in
cidental to pioneer life.
Mr.. Huffman was instrumental IN
the establishing of postoffice at
Grey Eagle and carried the first mail
into that settlement. He was elected
Justice of peace of the town and
served in that capacity for rs con-
tinuous years.
He built the first hotel in that vii
lage, which was known as the Huff
man House, which he conducted for
IL years. Later the family moved to
Sank Centre where they made their
home until April of this year when
they moved to Minneapolis and made
their home with their daughter, Mrs.
Florence Botz.
Because of his weakened condition
he was removed to the hospital at the
Soldiers Home four days prior to his
death, that better care could be CIV
en-, but to no avail.
The deceased was man among
men, and his word and honor could
be relied upon. In 1879 he Joined the
United Brethren church to which he
was ever faithful.
Besides the wife left to mourn his
passing are two sons, Audrey Huff
man in California and Avery Nuff-
man, Norma, N. D., neither of whom
count of illness in the families; one
daughter, Mrs. Florence Botz of Min
neapolis with whom he made his
home, and several grandchildren.
Short services were held in Sank
Centre from the Berggreen Mortuary
Wednesday afternoon at 1 100 o'clock.
From this city under escort of maln-
bers of the Robert James Swift Post,
American Legion, the remains were
taken to Grey Eagle where funeral
services were held at the United
Brethren church conducted by the
pastor Rev. Cannon. Interment was
made in Lake View cemetery with
full military honors under direction
of Robert Swift Post Legionaires.

CAUCHREN THEATRE
WHEN A MAN is CALLED
A "LADY"
UP TO THE MINUTE ENTERTAINMENT AT REAsoNA

When is man called lady?
Seemingly this is most ridiculous
question but nevertheless it is the
subject upon which the feature pic
ture at the Caughren theatre Sun
day and Monday is based.
Roy Stewart, stalwart hero, plays
the part of the "Lady" of this cate
CORY.
To be sure this role necessltates
his wearing skirts but they are of the
kind that any woman would look
over once and then hang up in the
closet forever. Because the skirt
that Stewart wears exposes mis- bare
knees.
Those of you who have already
seen the picture, or know that this
photo drama is an adaptation Of the
book by Norton Parker entitled 'fMy
Lord of the Double B." are familiar
with the type of Gladly" referred to.
However, "The Lady from He'll"
is none other than a soldier in a
Scotch regiment likened to our own
United States Marine Corps. Be-
cause of the aggressiveness of this
group of men and their tenacity in
swarming over the trenches during
the World War they were nicknamed
by the enemy "Ladies from He'll"

sCOTT,s VALUE

Two things are certain to make
Shortstop Everett Scott far more val
| uable to the White Sox than it seemed
when he was signed to a Chicago
contract.
Unquestionably the ball has been
slowed up over the one used late last
season. The lively ball was tough
on infielders beginning to lose some
of their speed afoot.
The new ball in use this year will
lack some of the speed with which
the ball travelled through the infield
and will permit the players to do a
little more footwork.
In addition, the infield at Comis-
key park is one of the slowest in the
American league. ThA condition of
the soil is responsible. The New
York American infield is at least 80
per cent faster.
Working on a slow infield, with
less lively ball, is certain to make
the Veteranl Everett Scott a much
more valuable ball 'player to the
White Sox.

SIMILAR FATE

There was a rather strnnge Ico-
incio nee in the 1926 pitching de-
butts of Joe Bush and Tom Zachary.
Last winter Washington traded the
veteran southpaw, -om Zachary, to
the ST Louis Browns for thel ex-
perienced right-hander, Joe Bush.
The two pitchers made their first
start for their new clubs on the tAiru
day of the season. Both were knock
ed out of the box.
Zachary opposed the Chicago White
Sox. He failed to last out the first
inning. He was relieved after allow
ing four hits, giving two bases on
balls and making an error.
Chicago made eight runs before the
inning was over, winning the bali
game then and there.
Bush lasted three innings against
the Athletics, four runs resulting on
five hits and four bases on balls.
So in the debut of the two veteran
pitchers the trade was all even.
