CENTENNIAL OF
STEEL PLOW is
OBSERVED HERE

Unusual activity and enthusiasm
surrounds the Krusemark 1mple-
ment company. The place is bright
with brand new banners and
everybody is plainly bulging with
pride. 1t is. all about a plow-the
new centennial tractor plow just
announced by the j. I. Case COM
pany and now put on special dis
play.
The Centennial plow was Great
ed to celebrate 100 years of plow
progress that began with the first
steel plow made at Grand Detour,
Illinois, in 1887. 1t hardly seems
possible that only a century ago
there were no plows that would
work successfully in the sticky
prairie soils, and that the whole
development of our richest farm
ing regions depended on the pecu-
liar securing ability of hardened
steel. From that first steel plow
of 1887 came the whole steel plow
industry of today, and the vast
area of agriculture it makes posi-
BILE.
The new Centennial is a direct,
lineal descendant from that first
Grand Detour plow, made by the
original Grand Detour plow busi-
ness that has carried on continu-
ously since 1887 as a series of
partnerships, as the Incorporated
Grand Detour Plow company ard
since 1919 as the plow division of
the j. I. Case company.-adv.

George Whealy, 49,
Commits Suicide

George Whealy, 49 year old oil
station attendant, hung himself
from a beam in the cellar of his
Belview home at about $50 a. m.
Saturday.
Ill for some time, he had been
Respondent Of late. Friday night
evidently preparing to take his
own life, he laid all his important
papers in order on the living room
table and placed his wallet under
meath his pillow.
His wife, who with four children
survives him, found him dead in
the basement at about 7:30 a. m.
She cut the short length of rope
and ran to a. neighbor for help,
hoping vainly that he was not be-
yond medical aid. His usual habit
was to rise at a. m. while she
still slept. and leave home for
work. Saturday morning, however,
when she arose, she saw his car
still in the yard. Searching the
premises, she found the body.
DR.. w. A. Brand, acting county
coroner who was called, pronoqnc-
ed the death suicide.
Whealy once lived on a farm
about a mile west of Redwood
Falls.

p. A. Brown Heads
Minnesota Statesmen

Things looked mighty blue for
P. A. Brown of Morton for the
first three months of this year. In
fact, his total accepted business
only amounted to $306.85. But
did he ''throw up the sponge?" No
sir, he waited for the first decent
weather to come along and then he
went after them hammer and
tong"
The result is, he just about dou-
bled his May and June sales of
1885 and closed the first six
months of the year with $3,516.34
in accepted sales to his credit-a
gain of $549.S4 over the same per-
iod last year.
P. A. Browns $1,533.87 in sales
for June gives him high place fol
the month in our Minnesota sales
organization and we all take oul
hats off to him for the splendid
comeback he staged. Fine going
and remember, it's 100000

M. & St. L.
in Black First
Six Months
DEFENDERS STATES ITS
EARNINGS JUSTIFY
CONTINUANCE

Operating income of the Mime
apolis and st. Louis railroad for
the first six months of the year
far exceeded the expectations of
the management and more than
supported the contention of the M
and st. L executive defense COM
mittee that the road can be oper-
ated successfully as unit, ac-
cording to Herbert F. Horner,
secretary-treasurer of the commit
tee.
The roads operating income
for the first six months of 1886
was $479,195 compared with a
deficit of $92,669 in the CORES
ponding period in 1885. Reven-
ues in this period were $4,202, 1888,
compared with 1888, 1854 last
year. In June the road had an
operating income of $208,525,
compared with a deficit of $780,
LA in June last year.
Conservative estimates by the
roads management placed the
1886 operating income at $800,000,'
Mr.. Horner explained. "It has been
the history Of the road that it
netted its largest amounts in the
last half Of the year. Consequent
ly, the showing in the last six
months places the road in most
favorable position. Although the
July figures are not available
the day by day compilations show
ed that car loadings ran far ahead
of July, 1885,"
Mr.. Horner explained that the
committee, which has directed
the fight against the proposed
sale and abandonment of the road
still has major task ahead of
it, although hearings on the sale
plan have been completed.
1T is now necessary to study
the voluminous record of the
case," he said, "and to prepare
the committees written briefs,
which will be presented to the
interstate commerce commission.
Final arguments will then be con-
Quoted in Washington"

INDIAN AGENCY
MAY GET BATH
HOUSE, LAUNDRY


Plans for a community bath
house and laundry for Indians on
the lower Sioux agency are being
considered by WPA authorities. If
the project is approved the struc-
ture will be the first of its kind
ever built on an Indian agency.
$4,000 WPA funds and $1,70O
from the Indian bureau will be
spent to construct a 20 by 40 foot
building, one side of which will be
used as a laundry and the other
partitioned fol separate mems and
women's shower rooms. Hollow
tile will probably be used on the
exterior.
If passed by the WPA, the pro-
iect should start within 80 days.
No definite site has been selected.

FORMER JUNEAU MAN
 PLACED ON ROLL OF
 HONOR, SOVIET UNION

John D. Littlepage, wellknown to many Juneauites, and a son-m-laW of J. H. Gilpatrick, former resident of this city but now of Sitka, was recently placed on the honor roll of the Soviet gold industry and elected to receive the Red Banner of Labor for distinguished service in Soviet gold production.
 Littlepage is one of the few Amer ican engineers who has distinguish ed himself in the Soviet Union by his work. He became connected with the Soviet gold industry in 1928 when he assumed the management of a mine in the Kochkar gold fields.
 An English newspaper, published in Moscow, recently contained Lit tlepage's picture together with a long article and cleverly and thor oughly acquainting Anglo-Americans throughout the Soviet Union just who the honored Littlepage really was. The article says Littlepage faces a future bright with creative possi- bilities. that he is man of action who finds supreme delight in the ability to do good days work. He likes the Soviet workmen and they like him..
