August deliveries dropped far off pace to 89, lowest since i February of this year when 88 were made, and 2nd lowest since June, 1946.

NAME GIRLS' 4-H TEAM TO GO TO WATERLOO SHOW Cerro Gordo Team Is Blue Ribbon Winner at Iowa State Fair Globe-Gazette Photo PROPOSED OVERPASS ON FEDERAL Above is an artist's drawing of the proposed reinforced concrete overpass to be erected on North Federal near 21st, over which rock will be hauled from the quarry of the Northwestern States Portland Cement company east of Federal to the plant. The rock will be hauled in the company's new giant Euclid trucks, one of which is shown below with Fred Smith, plant superintendent, left, and J. E. MacDonald, vice president and assistant manager. The trucks have a capacity of 44,000 pounds.

To the rear of the truck is one of the company's box cars. Slow August deliveries were blamed on steel shortages, and some of the larger producers in the industry were hampered by labor troubles. Supplier strikes also held up several companies. Several Mason City dealers said that, barring unforeseen difficulties, they expected September to be a big month and the first few days of the month have produced a heavy listing of new cars at the treasurer's office. Chevrolet is now far in front of the field in deliveries with 48 passenger cars and 14 trucks distributed over the 2 month stretch.

Ford fell behind but is still in 2nd place, followed by Plymouth. Mercury, with 18 deliveries, passed Buick, 55 to 54. The figures do not reflect the deliveries to private individuals from dealers in other counties. The Zenor Motor company, Mason City, which received 7 Olds-mobiles during the 2-month period, registered all 7 in the firm's name and 6 have since been delivered to parties out of the county. Five of the 18 Mercurys were registered to the local dealer, Harold Motors Inc.

Sales for July and August together" with the totals for the 8-month periods for this and earlier years: DALE AVISE HAS TON LITTER FOR HIS 4-H PROJECT 10 of 11 Pigs Sold at Fair for $543; Oswald Litter Brought $536 Dale Avise, Rockwell, had a ton litter for his 4-H market pig project this year, County Extension Director Marion E. Olson announced Thursday. Avise had 11 pigs in the litter but sold one the day he came to the North Iowa fair with the other 10, the 1 being lame. The 10 exhibited in the 4-H show weighed 1,925 pounds and the 1 weighed 185 pounds, Olson reported, for a total of 2,010 pounds. The 10 sold for 28J cents a pound to Johnson and Son, Mason City, at the 4-H auction, bringing a total of $543.81.

Andy Oswald sold a litter of 10 pigs weighing 1,960 pounds to Jacob E. Decker and Sons for 28 cents a pound or a total of $563.50. Top bid at the sale was 29 cents for 6 different litters. The sale averaged 28.57 cents for the 106 head, a total of $5,959.45, Olson reported. It is the largest group of 4-H swine shown at the North Iowa fair in many years, he said.

In order to qualify for the exhibition the hogs were required to weigh at least 180 pounds each and Olson estimated that more than 100 which had failed to make that weight by fair time would be available for a 4-H, day at Deckers about Oct. 1. The 29-cent bids included the following: Merry Lou Foster's litter to Deckers, Robert Lindsay to Deckers, Dale Ames to Deckers, Delbert Juhl to Wilsons, Albert Lea; Dale Lage to Deckers, Robert Schurtz to Johnsons; Roger Mason to the North Iowa Farmers Union Co-Operative and Harold Mason to the North Iowa Farmers Union. Deckers paid 28J cents for litters belonging to Andy Oswald and Robert Furleigh. The 28J cent bids were for the litters of Wayne Miles to Deckers, Fred Renshaw to Deckers and James Pierce to the North Iowa Farmers Union.

Dick Franks, Donald Engh and Fred Zirbel got 28 cents from Wilsons and Deckers, respectively. YV7T7 rnr I HERE IN MASON CITY Fuller Brushes. 3726. Lovely wallpaper at Paynes. O'Brien Paints at Shepherds.

Mr. Hirt qualified for the trip for himself and Mrs. Hirt by writing more than a half million dollars of insurance for this company the past year. Deck Cleared for Building of Overpass With city council approval of the planning and zoning commission's recommendation, the decks are cleared for the construction of an overpass over North Federal avenue by the Northwestern States Portland Cement company. The overpass, to be constructed of reinforced concrete, will, connect the company's entrance near 21st street and North Federal with the quarry to be opened on the corporation's land east of Federal.

The overpass will have a clearance of 14 feet, 6 inches, with a clearance of 52 feet providing for 40 feet of pavinjr and a 6 inch side, walk on each side. The overpass has been designed to carry the new mammoth trucks, which the company recently purchased to take the place of the industrial railroad in conveying limestone from the quarry to the plant. The new Euclid trucks weigh 39,000 pounds empty and with a 22 ton load will weigh a total of 83,000 pounds. These trucks, which have rear dumps, are 24 feet long and 12 feet high. The company now has 4 of them.

Operations in the new quarry probably will not get under way for a year or more but it is necessary to start preparations long in advance in order to be ready to meet the tremendous plant requirements. The plant uses 2,000 tons of rock a day. This rock is loaded by power shovels. The average depth of the vein of rock used is approximately 35 feet. tiy ii-iiff --y ry 2r July Aug.
