INTERNATIONAL
BUYS THE P.&O.
PLOW COMPANY
Harvester Manufacturers Now
Control Complete Implement
Line for. All Kinds of
Farm Work.
t , ' '
The announcement that the Inter
national Harvester company - has
purchased the manufacturing' plant
and business of the Parlin & Oren
dorff company of Canton, 111., has
aroused great interest in the agri
cultural implement trade. News of
the transaction was received by C.
H. Peterson, the harvester compa
ny's branch manager here, in a tel
egram from the Chicago office.
The P. & O. company, as it is pop
ularly known, is one of the pioneer
plow manufacturers of America.
The present extensive plant at Can
ton is the outgrowth of a blacksmith
shop which William Parlin started
there in 1842.
McCormick Well Pleased,
In announcing the purchase of the
P. & O. line, President Harold F.
McCormick of the International
Harvester company says:
"I am pleased to advise the Har
vester organization that the com
pany has purchased the manufac
turing plant and business of the Par
lin & Orendorft company. lh:s
adds to the list of Harvester manu
factures the one important farm im
plement which it has not heretofore
produced."
"When the Harvester company
was formed in 1902 it manufactured
chiefly harvesting machines. It
has since gradually added other
implements and, with the addition
of .the plow,, it is now in a position
to manufacture and supply to the
farmers a complete line of all im
portant implements used in agri
culture. Fill Dealers' Demand.
C. H. Peterson, local branch
manager of the International Har
vester company, when asked with
reference to the effect of this pur
chase upon local business, said: ,
, "Implement dealers handling 'In
ternational' goods have long desired
that the Harvester company should
include plows as one of its lines.
There is a growing tendency in the
retail implement trade for the deal
er to purchase, as far as possible,
from a single manufacturer all the
implements which he carried and to
build up for himself a good will in
that line of implements. The Har
vester company's line was already
practically complete with the ex
ception of plows. We will now be
able to offer to the dealer a full line
of all the important farm imple
ments needed in order to supply his
trade."
Moslem Assassinates Greek
Leader in Northern Epirus
Saloniki, May 6. Guini, who for
30 years had worked for the de
liverance of northern Epirus from
the Turks and for its union with
Greece, was assassinated several
days ago at Koritsa by a Moslem.
The funeral, which was attended by
10,000 persons, according to dis
patches to the Athens News agency,
resolved itself into a manifestation
in favor of Greece.
The assassin, who is named
Ibrahim and who is said to have
been assisted by two others, the
dispatches declared, is an agent of
Italian propaganda in northern
Epirus. It is asserted that . the
Italians have been inciting the
Moslems against the Greek Chris
tians.

WARNING TO MEN
IN GRAIN MARKET
(Continued From Face One.)
I am sure he will not look in vain,"
said the speaker.
"It has been in my mand for some
time, and at a conference in New
York a week from today," which I
have arranged with advisory com
mittees from the grain trade, from
the milling trade, from the flour
jobbers and bakers of this country,
among other things I shall discuss
with them the tabulation of a week
lv report of authentic and exact in
formation to be made public. I do
not see why the baking trade and
the lobbing trade of this country
should be excited by: entirely erron
eous statements as to the growing
scarcity of wheat. and flour when it
is not the condition.
Looks for Co-operation.
"As for the coming year," he con
tinued, "I have a great desire that
the duties of the wheat director may
be discharged, not by compulsion or
the use of the authority vested in
the law, solely, but by co-operative
agreements with the various trades
affected. I hope to work out volun
tarily contractual relations between
the grain corporation, the- milling
trade, the grain trade, the flour job
bers and the bakers such as will
protect fully the proper interests of
both producer and consumer and af
ford a fair field for legitimate initi
ative and an outlet for legitimate
ambition." '
The speaker said he wished to
make in clear that "the wheat direc
tor has no authority in law to con
trol maximum prices of wheat, but
he must make effective absolutely
the guaranteed producer price.
When Mr. Barnes concluded there
was applause and then a rush back
to the trading pits. The prices were
nervous for a few minutes, at first
dropping half a cent or so, and then,
after a little hesitation, the prices
recovered and attained the best of
the day. The general opinion seemed
that the bearish references had been
fully discounted by yesterday's de
cline. Arguments Closed
in Rate Cases; Early
Decision Expected
Washington, May 6. Arguments
in the telephone and telegraph rate
cases involving the authority of the
postmaster general to increase in
trastate toll rates was concluded
today in the supreme court and the
cases taken under advisement. It
is believed the court will render a
decision in the two cases before
entering upon the summer adjourn
r ent next month.
The court, before recessing today
until May 19,. issued an order per
mitting the postmaster general to
continue to charge increased tele
graph rates in Illinois and tem
porarily stayed the , carrying , into
effect of injunctions issued by Fed
eral Judge Landis, enjoining the
postmaster general from making
the increase. ,
With the conclusion of the hear
ings today arguments in all pending
cases closed for the term.

cial.) Fort Dodge is preparing to
