To be sure, the personnel OF the
Illinois commission is about 10 pe
changed. I am told the new COM
mission will consist OF George LyI,,
ton, Sheldon Clark and Leonard
Hicks. But the bout doesn't seem
to be headed in that dlrectlon'
anyhow. .
william r. Carey has intended almost
from the first to hold the Sharkey..
Schmelinr but in Detroit. Tex Rickard
several times told me that he thought
Detroit was the logical place for the
next big September battle OF the cen
tury" T'ex's idea was that an I'M M
portant heavyweight bout was q Dig
Show and that 1t was not wen 10 play
one town too often.
So now September 10 has been set
as an approved date for the Sharkey-
Schmeling affair by the Michigan COM
mission. but there still are compllca-
+ions Nv some oversight, Bulow ap-
narentlv neglected to sign Schmellng
for a bout in Michigan, but Snarkey
appears to have been signed 10 poS %
there for Fitzsimmons. wonoeI
there is any portion OF the unioeo
States weber either Schmellng OF Shal
kew has not been signed.
The Michigan commission appears
n have ruled that Sharkey must box
pierre Charles on September .. Inns
certainly would interfere with his train
in1 for q Schmeling fight two weeks
later. Sharkey should beat Charles
with his eyes shut but there always
would be the chance that he would
hurt o hand or sprain an ankle.
Moreover, the Boston boxer WOULD
have to be In condition, even 1ot
Charles, and he doesn't want to reach
his peak until II days later. No. that
Advancement doesn't look reasonable.
Looks Like Michigan.
I cannot help feeling that Fitzsim-
mons and the Garden will come TO some
arrangement by which the former Will
turn over his contract with Sharkey
to the Garden management. do not
think that the big bout will be held
anywhere else than in Michigan.
Detroit certainly should be an ideal
place for q big heavyweight maCcn. II
is rich city, progressive city ana
the fourth largest city in the country.
1t has plenty of railroad and hotel &C
commodations to handle any big Don't.
It never has staged big heavyweight
contest. and It is within easy travelling
distance of New York, Chicago, Phtla-
delpfia, Cleveland and other large
cities. ..
yes. Detroit has every facility, and u
It gets the Sharkey- Schmeling bout, IL
certainly can make 1t one OF the most
profitable heavyweight shows ever pro-
rnoted. However, as 1t stands now, the
whole matter is stu unsettled.

Equally important is the fact that this record is
based on all REQ Speed Wagons in use in all lines of
hauling. Not just truck ten trucks, OF one hun
dred unusually well cared for, little used trucks.
This utterly amazing record in stamina is part of
every REQ Speed Wagon you buy today-in any of
the wide variety of models from a to 3ton capacity
REQ engineering and manufacturing methods make
doubly sure of this.
There just reason for this almost unbelievable
record in continuous service: REQ early recognized
the need for tremendous stamina combined with
balanced light weight in commercial vehices-the
need for sizing and powerng trucks to do their job
economically, efficiently and over long mileage life
For example, REQ engines are amply powered for
their job-nstead of using larger gear ratios which
force the engine up to racing wearing speed in order
to deliver the same power. Naturally, this high
speed engine wears out more quickly. While out
standing stamina has been recognized feature of
REQ trucks since the first one was built.
Today REQ engineers in their defeat of friction and
vibration, have designed and built an even greater
measure of efficiency, economy and long troube-free
life, into Speed Wagons Of n to 3-ton capacity.
They have MT the finest of long-liyed materials

On July 1st, 1928. there we're 964s1 REQ Speed
WAGONS registered tn the United States.
This was 1856 more than had been sold in the u S.
during the entire 81 years from January I, 1922, to
July I, 1928.
1926 of all the REQ Speed Wagons sold in the U. S.

$685. of all the REQ Speed Wagons sold in the U. S.
the previous 81 years were still registered on July ISL
1928.
And 5O.89o of all REQ trucks sold since 1913 we're
still registered on July 1st, 1928.
ABOVE we quote facts on the long life of REQ
n Speed Wagons, in years of service-based on
registration figures compiled by Reuben H. Donneley
Corporation totally disinterested statistical firm
These facts we believe indicate alongfe record with
out equal in the field of commercial transportation.
But bear this in mind in terms Of miles, this
record is still more outstanding, still more important
to every user of trucks. In the same given period,
REQ Speed Wagons built as they are for passenger
car speed undoubtedly have covered and are cover
ing today at least tice the number of miles per day
as average motor trucks. And you know that the
quicker the run-the greater the profit.

Butter Market Firm

Eastern butter markets have
been more steady in tendency dur,
ing the past week. The supply on
larger Eastern consuming markets
was slightly lower than the prev.
ious week, but still ahead of q
years ago. Trading has been fair.
Dealers have endeavored to keep
stocks of fresh butter cleaned up
and buyers have operated cautious
ly, purchasing only for immediate
requirements.
The Chicago butter market to-
day on 80 score standards is 40
cents, one cent higher than the low
point for the week. The New York
butter market on 90 Score Extras
is 43 cents, representing an advance
of one-quarter to one-half cent as
compared with the low point for
last week.
There is very little change in the
fresh egg situation. Production is
light and there is good demand
existing for top quality fresh eggs.
The Chicago egg market today
on Frsts to 40 to 43 cents, New
York Firsts are 4S to 81 cents.
The marketing of live poultry in
some sections of the Central West
has been slowed up because of wea-
ther conditions, but as whole, re-
ceipts in the East have been heavy.
For example, there was total Of
344 cars of live poultry in New
York last week, additional cars
being carried over on track, week
previous 253 cars.
The supply of fowl is compar-
atively light and apparently there
has been good demand for this
class of poultry for the quality has
been satisfactory Chickens moved
out well during the Thanksgiving
trade, but after this demand was
taken care of, there was lower
tendency and the market declined
at the end of the week.
A review of the dressed poultry
market shows that fowl generally
met with a good outlet, especially
fancy quality. The receipts of
chickens have been heavy and in
some cases difficulty has been ex-
perienced to affect satisfactory
clarence.
The Chicago live poultry market
is as follows: Fowl, leghorns,
II cents, light colored IL, heavy
colored %, springs, leghorns II,
colored 81 and old ROSTERS II
cents.
In general way, there was q
fairly good cleanup on Thanks
giving turkeys. In some sections
of the country, retail prices were
reasonable and much lower than a
year ago, which tended to increase
consumption. This week the mar
keting of turkeys for the Christ
mas holiday season will start, but
it is impossible to predict paying
prices. 1t is probable that paying
prices to producer will be lower
than those existing at Thanksgiv-
ing time because Of the comparitiv-
ely heavy proportion of turkeys
still remaining in the hands of pro.
ducers.-Produce Review.

|BROPHY, FORMER
BYRD AID, FOUND
Alexandria and st. Paul Man
Discovered Working on
Omaha Newspaper
Tries to Kill Self
Refuses to Explain Resigna.
ton From Expedition
to Return to N. Y.

Mimi, resident and formerly bust
ness manager of the Richard Byrd
expedition to the Antarctic and
second in command of that expedi-
ton until last March, when he left
Byrd in New Zealand and returned
to New York, from which city he
disappeared last August, has been
found working in the editorial de-
partment of the Omaha Bee, where
he passed under the name of
Charles Manning Mitchell.
Brophy was thought to have
committed suicide by drowning
himself at Coney Island, N. Y, but
instead of killing himself, he plant
ed a suicide note and then dropped
out of sight, appearing in Omaha
late in September.
Since arriving in Omaha, Brophy
has worked at night, and says he
has not gone on the streets in the
daytime for fear he would be rec
ognized. He beat his way from
New York to Omaha and arrived
here with less than 81. On his way
west he worked in various cheap
restaurants to earn his food and
hitch-hiked without paying a cent
of fare.
Brophy refused to reveal the
cause of his leaving the Byrd ex-
petition. He said he and Com
mander Richard Byrd are still per-
sonal friends, and that when the
commander gets back to America
he intends seeing him and making
explanations.
AS to his purpose in disappearing
from New York he said his nerves
and health were in a precarious
condition. He really made three
attempts at suicide, he contended,
and went to Coney Island fully in
tending to die, but that when he
got to the water it was cold and
he changed his mind.
Brophy's identification came
about in an odd way. He was
working as a copy reader on the
Bee when night Geographic reports
came that Byrd had circled the
Pole. The night editor sent to the
Photographic files for pictures of
Byrd. Among those handed to him
was a photograph of Byrd, Mayor
James Walker, of New York, and
a third man, whom the editor at
once recognized as Brophy, who
was sitting just across the table
from him.
The editor silently handed the
picture over to Brophy.
Eyes, that's me-" said Brophy.
With tears in his eyes, Brophy
said:
IT only wanted co rest. I want
ed to get away from everybody and
everything I knew. I tried suicide,
and then determined to disappear
quietly. Now I am better. Since
I have been recognized, will very
shortly return to New York.
81 want to find my wife, whom
I have never let know that am
still living. Also my father and
mother, whom I last saw in Dune
din, New Zealand, last March.
But won't say why I left the
Byrd expedition Richard Byrd
saw that I was all shot to pieces,
and he gave me leave of absence
for rest. Then resigned alto
gether and came back to America
A radiogram from Byrd to Bro
ply which the latter has in his
possession reads:
Much obliged for your messa@e.
There was some delay in reaching
me. Remember that no matter
what hard luck you may have had,
we can work things out if you con-
tinue to have faith IN me. Best of
good wishes. Your friend, Byrd"

Farm Paper Describes
Todd County Log Cabin
Building Made Feature of Story
With Interesting Historical
Data

In a recent issue The Farmer
and Farm Stock and Home, pub
lished at st. Paul, made mention Of
the old settlers cabin erected las
summer on the Todd County fail
grounds, and in connection with
the item printed a picture of the ca
bin itself. Through the courtesy OF
the farmer we are privileged tc
print the picture of the cabin ir
The Leader, and we give with il
The Farmers reference to the build
| ing, as taken from it's columns. The
| Farmer said:
1.-THE old settlers, of Todd county
Mimi, now have a home of their
own, monument to the pioneers
of that section. 1t was built by the
Old Settlers association and is
shown in the picture here. This pic
ture was taken on the day the cab
in was dedicated during the Todd
county fair last summer.
''This Old Settlers cabin is locat-
ed on the county fair grounds and
will serve as the meeting place for
the reunions that will be held each
year hereafter. 1t cost $2,740 and
is entirely paid for, most of this
amount being secured by the sale
of municipalities to pioneer resi-
dents and pioneer organizations of
the county. On the day of dedica-
ton, 126 name plates had been sold
and were in place. Others have
been sold since, these additional
funds going into the treasury of
the association.
"It seems particularly fitting that
the pioneers of Todd county should
erect an Old Settlers cabin to COM
memorate the early history of that
community, as Todd county occu-
pied a prominent place in the early
history of Minnesota. A hundred
years ago it was Indian territory,
settled by the Chippewas who were
more friendly to the whites than
many of the other tribes. This prob
ably accounts for the fact that Long
Prairie, the present county seat,
was one of the first four white set
Elements in the state, sharing this
honor with Mendoza, Crow Wing
and Traverse.
I'm 1847, the Chippewas ceded
some of their land in Todd county
to the Winnebagos, a wandering
tribe, and from that time on this
land was known as the Long Prai-
RE reservation. In 1849, Minneso-
ia became territory and Todd
county supplied the president of the
first Council of the Minnesota Ter
fitory. The council of those days
is the same as the senate of to-
day.
'"The cabin presented very
pleasing appearance for the dedi-
cation. Relics of one kind and an
other had been loaned by the old
settlers of the county and George
e. Sarver, of Bertha, the first to
subscribe for name plate had g
large and interesting collection OF
Indian relics. There were also sew.
eral old guns, sword, several deer
heads, pictures, and other things OF
interest. It was a red letter day in
the history of the county and the
interest displayed by all who Wis
tied the cabin shows that the OLD
Settlers association has taken its
place as one of the county's i'm
| portant institutions.
George w. Johnson, of Clarissa
is president of the Old Settlers as
sociation. F. A. Zappe, of Long
Prairie, is vice president, and Ray.
