...110° in the wheat fields of Kansas and Iowa. Politically it was even hotter as wheat prices slumped to the lowest level in 17 years, 60¢ per bu. locally, 86¢ at Chicago.

Most medal tournaments are won in the third round, for the field is apt to be fairly even up to that time and a decisively brilliant score then adds mightily to the strain on other competitors in the final round. Jones especially has depended on his third rounds. His third-round average in U. S.

To Studebaker President Albert Russell Erskine goes much of the credit. A man of figures rather than a production man, he sowed $2,000.000 in 1928 in the then tottering Fierce-Arrow Motor Car Co., reaped $2,000,000 in Pierce-Arrow dividends for Studebaker the next year. The record came to its latest climax with a recent report that...
