Cunningham of Devils Lake reported on the scholarship Joan fund before th convention ad- urned this morning and Mrs. |. M. Gillette of Grand Forks read the report of Mrs. A.

While this wheat was sold at what appears to have been the prevailing market price on the dates sold, the sale has proved a serious handicap to the op- eration of the mill at this time, On August 31 (this year) the mill rec- ords of wheat on hand showed 246,- 201 bushels with an average protein content of 11.40 per cent and no high protein wheat on the market, such as was sold from the three tanks mentioned, to bring the old wheat left over up to the mill mix of 12.50 protein. The mill at this time is paying up to 28 cents for new wheat with one and one-half to two per cent less protein than the old wheat that was sold, While this loss does not reflect in our present statements it is bound to show up in the statements to follow.” Explaining the relation of cash premiums to the financial showin, of the mill, Lund says: “The mil hedges all purchases of wheat and flour and is protected against the future wheat option price, but has no way of hedging or protecting against the fluctuation of the cash wheat premiums. Therefore, the rise or fall of cash premiums is reflected in the financial statements of the mill in the pricing of the wheat on hand at the date of audit.” 7 The cash premiums to which he refers,.the report indicates, is based on the protein or gluten content of the wheat.

ON MOTOR ROW U.S. Army Officers Show Preference For 10° Willys - Knight United States army officers, espe- cially those in the air service and the enginecring divisions of Uncle Sam’s fighting forces, are showing a distinct preference for Knight en- gined cars, according to officials of the Willys-Knight company at To- ledo, Ohio. The popular car h -|these officers, factory sales officials say, is the “70” Willys-Knight six. Scores of these army officers, many of whom rank high in the service, come to Toledo to take per- sonel delivery of their cars, and in many instances take them to the outposts of the country, and fre- quently to posts in the Philippines and Hawaii. The fact that such a large number of army officers, many of them highly trained technicians and ex- perts in gasoline engines, show a preference for the “70” Willys- Knight, is accepted as a tribute to the unusual engineering features embraced in these cars which are powered by the Knight sleeve valve engine. In 1926, the first year the “70” Willys-Knight was placed on the market, it established a remarkable sales record for a car in its initial year of production. Indications at this time are that its second year likewise will set a notable record since it has been necessary to keep factory production at a high tide since the present model was pre- sented in January, to meet the in- flux of orders from all sections of the country. The high standard of performance set by the “70” Willys-Knight has won for this car an, outstanding po- sition in the six-cylinder field. It has shown unusual power develop- ment, fast pickup and getaway, road stability under all conditions, smooth riding qualities and real economy of operation. The fine coachwork is an evidence of the high type of crafts- manship employed while the interior appointments bespeak dignity and smartness. Willys -Overland sales officials declare that present _ indications point to a continuation of the nation- wide demand for this popular model. Woman Beats Men at Selling Chevrolets Selling automobiles, generally re- garded as @ business restricted ex- clusively to men, is the latest field to invaded successfully woman, who has ever shown her ability to outshine her masculine competitors. Mrs, Pearl Lollig, of Sioux Falls, S. D., the first saleswoman in the United States to achieve the honor of membership in the Chevrolet Motor company’s 72-car club, a star man’s organization, has just been awarded her second year’s membership, making her as gne of the foremost sales experts among the company’s 14,000 salesmen. This record means that since Aug 1, 1926, Mrs. Bolling sold 72 Chevrolet cars, an ave! of six cars monthly, and has d ted her sales perform- ance of the year previous, which MET GREATEST by af} first gave her a much-coveted place in the honor organization of the company. Occupied with the manifold cares of a housewife, with two growing boys to look after, Mrs. Bollig’s career as a Chevrolet saleswoman began with the purchase of a Chev- rolet sedan for her personal use, back in 1923, “I liked the car, and so did my friends,” said Mrs. Bollig. “Then I thought I should be able to please others with the car, because of my own pleasure in its ownership. I applied for a positi i Falls Chevrolet dealer and assisted in the Chevrclet both during the auto show that year. I interested many school teachers, who found it a novel experience probably, to learn how to drive a car from an- other woman, and many business men bought cars from me. This was the first sales experience I have ever had and my enthusiasm for selling continued. “Any woman who starts out to sell automobiles will succeed if she so conducts herself as to command the respect and confidence of every- one in her community. It is no job for a woman secking excitement or a lark. It’s hard work. “I let nothing interfere with my work, although I never neglect my home and children. And I don’t wai’ to let buyers come to me—I hunt them up by going from house to house.
