HARRY PICKERING
Robert e. Mcclure

This is the story of a personable,
plausible young fellow-the son of
great wealth. There are many like
him in real life.
Harry Pickering, son Of the in
ventor and maker Of the famous
Pickering automobile, was heir to
one Of the great industrial fortunes
of America. He was big and hand
some and affable. And Harry rare
ly did anything wrong deliberately.
Wherever he went, the aura of
his wealth surrounded him. At
Yale, from which he was uncere-
moniously bounced, his name be-
came a legend. Girls hearts beat
faster in the presence of the young
Mr.. Pickering, and his affair with
the shcwgirl Blossom Mayberry
was the first Of many infatuations.
In business, Harry's nepotic rise
to the Vice-Presidency of Picker
ing Motors was swift and not with
out it's flashes Of inspiration.
For sheer reliability, this novel
has few rivals. And in the figure
of Harry Pickering, Mr.. Mcclure
has created a character-portrait Of
an American as recognizable as
Babbitt or Julian English.

upstate from a modest life in New

she stayed there because of her
younger sister. And it was not easy
for Katherine to bestow her affect

subdue him that she found life

At the same meeting he said that
gasoline companies, by opposing SC
ruthlessly the gasoline tax, are vir-
tually trying to wipe out their best
market-good roads. They are," he
said, trying to block highway i'm
provement programs by their eff
forts to shift the cost off gasoline and
back on the shoulders of real estate
taxpayers"

Petty Thieves Rob
Askou Cops Truck

Is he disguised? Well, no an
swer is needed for that one as
ruffled temper on an otherwise
genial disposition is enough evil
dence that Clarence Morgensen,
Askov's cop, is disguised with
petty thieves in general If the
scoundrels, who stole the Chew
rolet truck cushions from the Sc
bald Motor Sales premises recent
ly, would only have come to Clar-
ence with sad tale of needing
nice soft cushions to sit on, he
possibly would have accommo-
dated them in some manner. But
to deliberately insult the dignity
of the law by stealing them, the
cops 6-foot anger is aroused and
that bids no good for the guilty
ones, whose identity in all prob
ability may become known.
Mr.. Morgensen, it is suspected,
is very touchy of the fact that
cop was robbed, but that
shouldn't worry him as a truck
cushion is truck cushion Wheth-
er it belongs to a cop or not.
However, it is the advice of those
who know the situation that the
stealers who have the cushions
should bring them back some
dark night and place them gently
in the truck on the north side of
Sebald Motor Sales or near the
building.

International
News Review
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

During the last few days interest
in world affairs has shifted, to some
extent, from Europe to Asia as a re-
suit of Japan's suddenly carried out
decision of attacking China at a par
ticularly vulnerable spot, that is, the
city of Canton, most important trade
center of the Chinese nation. 1t took
the Japanese ten days to march on
that city, and it seems to have sur
rendered without putting up much
of fight-in which connection ugly
but unconfrmed rumors are heard
of Canton had been bribed by the
japanese. That is not known, but a
whispering campaign deals with the
story.
It has been through Canton that
China has received most of its arms,
munitions and foodstuffs sent from
other countries, and in Tokyo it
was thought that when Canton was
shut off, China would become prac-
tically isolated. That appears to be
the case. And now the next goal
of the invader is Hankow on which
already such tremendous efforts have
been spent by the Japanese; since the
fall of Canton the Chinese morale
has become weaker, and an atmos-
phere of detection has become ap-
parent.
1t is said that if Chang Kai-shek,
the commander-in-chie of the Chi
nese armies and his country's actual
government head, will resign, the
japanese are willing to talk peace.
So far, although it is limited that he
may go, official quarters at Han
kow say he will remain.
Trouble in Palestine.
In Palestine the British troops
have had their hands full, for the
fighting in progress between the Jews
and Arabs has been increasing in
intensity. Now it is reported that
the British have succeeded in driving
nearly all Arab rebels out of the city
of Jerusalem, but peace is still far
off. While the British government
has not yet declared itself willing to
curtail or stop the immigration of
Jews to Palestine, it has rejected
the plan concocted a year ago by a
special royal commission for parti-
ton of Palestine into an Arab, Jew
ish and a neutral zone.
That proposed zoning has been
equally obnoxious to Arabs and Jews,
for the Arabs maintain that Pales-
tine is their country which cannot

Grass Steers
Show Strength
Short-feds Weak, Spots
Lower; Hogs are Higher;
Lamb Trend Varies.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. rs,
1888: Mondays run of cattle fell con-
siderably short of general trade eX
pectations, which suggested that the
big run of cattle from western ranges
is tapering off for the season, accord
ing to the Federal-State Market News
Service. Canadian grassers, however,
came in more freely than any other
week this season. Trade in slaughter
steers and yearlings was uneven, grass
fat beeves ruling firm, while short
fed yearlings were weak to spots Csc
lower. Choice light steers brought
$11.OO, but grain-feds grading mostly
good sold at $500 to $1,000. Grass
ers of all weights brought $3.50 to
$825. Heifers were largely steady,
instances Csc higher. Good fed heif-
ers made $500, few $3.50, and grass
ers had a range of $5.25 to $500.
Cows sold steady to Csc higher, veal
ers and bulls largely steady. A
steady to strong market for stockers
and feeders found good to choice
western stock yearlings and calves at
$500 to $3.50, mostly $500 down. Plain
to medium steers earned $3.50 to $675,
with inferior kind down to $3.50.
Shipper demand continued depend
able for dairy cows and prices held
largely steady. Medium and good
choice close springer cows suitable
for shippers ranged from $4,000 to
$500, plain and medium $500 to
$500.
The two-day supply of hogs was
fairly liberal, being expected to num-
Der around $4,000 head, but demand
continued broad and last weeks adj
vance was extended. Compared with
last Friday, prices on all killing
classes were generally 10c higher
Good and choice $50 to 260 pound bar
rows and gifts brought $3.50 on both
Monday and Tuesday. Sows sold gen.
orally at $40 to $7.45 and good and
choice feeder pigs had range of
$3.50 to $500.
Fat lambs opened the week strong
to Csc higher in the face of the heav-
lest receipts since a year ago, but
suffered 10c to Csc downturn Tues
day when supplies at some of the
other midwestern markets proved lib
eral. Other classes showed a mild
advance. Good and choice lambs
made $3.50 to $3.50 Monday, but
bulked at 1925 today, with two loads
at $3.50 Choice yearlings scored
$500, and deck of choice lis pound
Montana ewes reached $3.50. Good
and choice native ewes brought $500
to 1925, plain and medium lots $1.50
to $3.50. Native feeding lambs sold
mainly at $500 to $3.50, good and
choice range type feeders at $500 to
$3.50.

Gaudy-COlored
Snake Is Found

Credit for finding the brightest
colored snake seen around that
country goes to Leonard Brandt of
Granite Falls. The reptile, which
is about a foot long, has reddish
brown back with parallel white
stripes running around his body.
The under side of the body is
marked in black and white like a
checker board The head of the
snake was flat and the little ras-
cal was belligerent, rising on an
inch of his tail. and holding his
body upright to strike at anything
in his way Inasmuch as no one
could identify the reptile, he was
taken to the school where the in
structor in biology said she had
never before seen a snake like this.
The snake was left there and an
attempt will be made to identify it.
