...office on Continental's second floor. Since last March when Chairman Stanley Field, indicted in connection with the Insull collapse, resigned, Continental's president, James Reader Leavell, has been doing the work of president, board chairman and finance committee chairman. He badly needed someone to help him steer Continental, whose liquidity has been much refreshed by $50,000,000 of RFC money (TIME, Oct. 23), back to prestige and dividends.

A new wheat king was crowned -Frank Isackson of Elfros, Saskatchewan. A new healthiest...
...fourth day, Walter Biggar stepped to the centre of the arena to judge the champion steer. In the ring were four finalists-a Hereford, a Shorthorn, two Anguses. One of the Anguses belonged to Oakleigh Thorne. Mr. Thorne could not forget that no individual had ever won the championship twice, that his entry in the ring, Briarcliff Model, was heavier (1,217 Ib.) than was nowadays popular. Judge Biggar passed his sensitive hands over well-meated ribs, examined shoulders, circled again & again. Finally he pointed to Briarcliff Model. There was applause. By now Farmer Thorne was an upstart Eastern breeder...
