Scare Buying of Used Cars Boosts Price War scare buying of automobiles was evident in Mason City Wednesday. Late model used cars sold at prices $200 to $300 higher than a month ago and several new 1950 models brought from $200 to $300 above the list price at one of the largest sales ever held at the Lapiner used car auction. Automobile dealers from Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Wyoming, Missouri and Iowa were present at the sale lot at the rear of the Palladium on the new strip of paving between highways 18 and 106. Sell 236 Autos The higher prices were attributed to the increased demands by individual purchasers for new and late model cars in view of possible curtailment of auto production by the government to divert essential materials to the war effort. Offered for sale Wednesday were 236 autos.

One dealer entered 24 units. In demand were 1949 Chevrolets and Plymouths. These models brought from $1,500 to $1,600. Auction for Dealers A new 1950 4-door Chevrolet sold for $2,150, $300 above the list price. A 1950 Bel-Air 2-door Chevrolet brought $2,385 and a 1950 4- door Plymouth sold for $2,000.

A 1950 4-door Oldsmobile sedan went for $2,500. The auction, for dealers only, is held each Wednesday. Cars are registered at 8:30 a. m. and the auction begins at noon.

The Lapiner used car auction has grown to one of the leading in the midwest. The Chicago Journal of Commerce now lists each week prices of the cars at the Mason City auction.

An occasional oat field had been bound and shocked during the later part of last week and the 1st of this. But Wednesday found most oat fields ready for the harvesters. Although many fields were windrowed in preparation for combining, only a few combines were actually in operation. Most farmers planning to combine were still cutting and windrowing their grain. The remainder of this week will find almost every farmer in his oat fields.

With the exception of a few areas in which hail damage resulted from the storms of July 15 and 16, farmers are optimistic about the small grain crop. Weather Favored Crop Reasonably cool weather has favored the crop. The oat berries are plump and heavy. Yield estimates run as high as 85 and 90 bushels an acre in some of the better fields. Race 45, the crown rust which has attacked oat fields on some farms, does not seem to have caused severe damage.

This year's harvest is between one and two weeks behind the oat harvest last year. Karl Schieffel- bem, Ventura farmer, recalls that his oats were all in the bin and his straw was baled by July 22, last year. Schieffelbein's oats won't be ready to harvest until the last of this week. The Iowa crop and livestock reporting service estimates an average oat yield of 39 bushels an acre for the state as a whole. That will be about a bushel above last year's average acre yield.

State Acreage Up The state's acreage in oats is 4 per cent greater than last year. And the estimated oat crop of 254 280,000 bushels will be a considerable increase over the 1949 crop of 238,222,000 bushels. Elmer Krause, Cerro county PMA chairman, has announced that the oat support price in Cerro Gordo county will be 69 cents a bushel, 2 cents above the 1949 support. New seeding in most oat fields looks promising. The stands are good and the new legumes are growing luxuriantly as a result of recent rains.

Marion E. Olson, Cerro Gordo county extension director, reminds farmers that summer management of the new seed- ings can include measures which will boost hay and pasture yields next year. Olson says that getting straw off the field as soon as possible after combining will help safeguard young plant growth in the stubble. He also suggests that limited grazing or mowing of the stubble and weeds will be helpful to the new crop. Summer clipping of the stubble reduces competition from weeds at a time when the soil moisture supply is usually low, Olson explains.

Grazing should be practiced only on good, healthy seed- ings. It should be limited and closely controlled. Funeral Set for Hampton Man Who Died in Denmark services for Chris Jensen, 61, who died in Denmark June 20 while on a visit with relatives, will be held Saturday at 1:30 p. m. at the Johnson funeral home at Hampton and at 2:15 p.

m. at the Nazareth Lutheran church in Coulter, the Rev. Wesley M. Anderson of Rutland officiating. Burial at Coulter.

The body will arrive at Hampton Friday. Mrs. Jensen returned home by plane a week ago. Besides the widow he leaves his mother in Denmark, 5 sons, 3 daughters, 3 brothers and 3 sisters. Mr.

and Mrs. Jensen went to Denmark in May to visit relatives. While there Mr. Jensen underwent an operation for appendicitis and died of a kidney infection. Born in Denmark Aug.

9, 1888, Mr. Jensen came to the United States in 1910 and settled in Franklin county. He was married in 1914 to Johanna Sorensen. They lived near Alexander and Coulter and retired to Hampton in March this year. Nicaraguan Consul Helps in Night Club Austin, (U.R)—A 23-year- old Nicaraguan who works part- time in a night club serves his Central American country as vice consul in Austin.

Carlos Perez-Zelaya holds the distinction of being one of the youngest members of any consular service in the United States. From 9 a. m. to 5, p. he handles the affairs of 18 Nicaraguans in Austin, issuing visas and clearing shipping from this area bound for Nicaragua.

At 6 p. m. he shifts over to the night club, the Cliff House, where his duties range from bar-tending to acting as cashier. Carlos, whose grandfather, Jose Santos Zelaya, served as president of Nicaragua from 1893 to 1911, came to Austin in January, 1946. He knew no English, but built up a vocabulary by working crossword puzzles.

He said he had to eat coffee and doughnuts for 3 days because that was all he knew in English. HEAVY IN THE of a 60-acre field of oats miles west of Stacyville was started Wednesday by Anton J. Wagner, on the binder, and his son, Gene. The oat bundles were heavy and Wagner thought the field might yield 60 bushels an acre. The hail storms of July 15 and 16 left the opposite end of the field slightly damaged.

COMBINING Heckstein, 2 miles northwest of Osage, started combining his first field of oats Wednesday. He had made only a few rounds on the 15-acre field when picture was taken. Oats were of the Bonda variety, and Heckstein estimated that the field was yielding about 70 bushels an acre. He thought that the new crop would weigh about 40 pounds to the bushel. Draft Registrees Asked to Notify Board on Changes The Cerro Gordo county draft board Thursday asked those who have registered to notify the board on matters involving changes of status for military service.

Change in status on the matter of dependencies. 4. Change in occupations having a bearing on deferment. The Hawaiian volcano Mauna Loa has not caused any known deaths in modern times. Penney Elected Mason City High School Vice Principal R.

He has a bachelor of arts degree from Drake university and did work at Iowa State Teachers college and Iowa State college before getting his master of arts degree in education from the University of Iowa. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Delta Kappa while in college, the highest fraternity honors in the liberal arts and educational colleges, respectively.
