PAGE TEN." LATHROP’ HERD COPS PRIZES AT THE oTATE FAIR Holsteins Sweep Pnze Awards Against Other Breeds. ‘As was predicted several weeks ago, entrants from Dr. H. R. Lath- rop’s Holstein dairy herd at the an- nual state fair at Douglas last week took first places in practically all prize awards. King Cremaelle Walddrf and Lady Sylvia both captured the grand championships of Wyoming. The big black and white bull not only was best among all male entrants but made the blue ribbon again as finest among the Holstein cattle. Lady Sylvia stepped in again for first as senior calf. She is only ten months old. ‘These two purebred animals were originally purchased by Dr. Lathrop from Caspar Hoffman of Denver, who epecializes in Holstein-Friesian airy stock. First place was given in the two- year old group to the doctor's Wild- wood Queen Alcartra, Four heifers, sired by King Waldorf, all won blue ribbcns as highest grade get of sire. Wildwood Josephine Echo made sec- ond in the junior calf class. Wild- wood Aggie was third in the same class. Dr. Lathrop’s King Cremaelle ‘Waldrof 1s a grandson of Echo Pon- tiac, brother of Carnation King Syl- via, owned by the Carnation Farms company at Seattle, Wash. The lat- ter bull was purchased by the com- pany fer the record-breaking sum of $106.000. The cow, May Echo, 1s mother of Echo Pontiac and she 1s the world’s champion milk and but- ter producer. Because of the skill and care with which Dr. Lathrop has selected his exceptional Hveistein herd Natrona county and Wyoming are consider ably enriched. Blue ribbons, or first places at state fairs, mean not so much in the Iong run. It is the ac- tual possession of these purebred cattle, whose pedigrees are unim- peachable, that means much to the iral interests of this state. - hrop's example of raising only the best and the finest should be follow by others who wish to seo Wyoming produce not scrubs but purebreds. LEVIATHAN UNABLE TO EQUAL SEA RECORD OF MAURETANIA, 1S: REPORT spent in Though millions were reconditioning the German ‘Vater- land” seized during the war it seems that it does not provide the same rapid means of crossing the ‘Atlantic that other lners do. This is made apparent in a comparison of the relative speeds of the Levia- than and the Mauretania. It is interesting to recall that the Initial voyage made by the Leviathan was at a speed of 23.65 knots. This tends to justify the quiet ‘confidence expressed by Cap- tain Rostron on the occasion of the last arrival at New York as to the ability of the Mauretania to hold her own in any company. The Mauretania 1s noted for clock- like regularity of her crossings, the average for three consecutive voy- ages between New York and Chere hourg recently being 25.29, 25.29 and knots. While the time made on her pre went voyage just ended is not up to regular, the Mauretania furnishes abundant evidence of the capability of her maintaining the blue ribbon of the Atlantic, acquired on the shorter course New York and Queenstown, in the epoch making record of 41 minutes The Mauretania’s best average speed of 26.96 knots for Atlantic crossing has never been approached. As evidence of the effectiveness of four days, 10 hours and Mauretania chedule, she lands Paris and London passengers into destination Monday afternoon, hav ing left New York the previous Bors, MORE BEN L.

HAVE S THAN DONE | 72> THEIR SHARE TO Two of the most active buflders and boosters this city has are Ben lL. Scherck and Cecil Bon. They form the “See Ben” Realty com: pany with offices in the Midwest building. Mr. Scherck the head of the firm has been associated with every forward movement tn Casper since he entered business. He was born at Marionette, Wisconsin, but his parents brought him to Nebraska when he was two years old to give him room to grow. In the schools of this state he was educated with the finishing touches applied by a Minneapolis business college. In 1904 he came to Casper, which was at that time a small village. ‘There was nothing else to do except to herd sheep, so Mr. Scherck herded sheep. Then In succession became a hotel clerk, freight agent and baggage master for the North- western when Casper was the western terminus; merchant, warehouse manager, proprietor of a transfer line that still carries his name, These things occupied his attention until 1912, when he closed out his other interests and em- parked in real estate. He organized the slogan or trade mark “See Ben,” which has stuck to him in all his business enterprises. In fact it has become so familiar to the public that most people believe it to be his rea? name, and more people call him “See Ben” than by his regular and proper name. As stated Mr. Scherck engaged in the real estate business in 1912. He paid exactly $91.70 for the bus! ness, so it was not as hefty a con- cern as it is today, See Ben had considerable building up to do so he set about it. How big he built it— there it is—look it over and measure {t with your own tape line—just about the biggest in town Isn't it? Four years later, in 1916, the bus!- ness demanded more help to get it across in an 18 hour day, s0 a junior partner, in the person of Cecil Bon, was added, and some typewriters, operators, _roll-top desks, clerks, files and other fur- niture and equipment and the thing began to spread out. The major portion of Kenwood was developed by the firm in addition to looking after the business of disposing of sted property, working up insur- ance and fidelity bonds, renting and collections. In June 1921, the See Ben Realty company put Casper view on the market and topped the record for a live town by selling to local people 240 lot a They had the Announcement We desire to inform the people of Casper that our merch- andise is of standard quality always.

The building up of McKinley street is largely due to'the See Ben firm. This firm erected a number of modern cost houses which are now in ‘the ownership of private people, who were given a chance to own them. Last year the firm opened In- dependent addition and turned over the 40 acres to the Texas Oil com pany at the bare cost of the land. This spring East Terrace addition at the end of East Second street was placed on the market and most of it sold. Cecil Bon the juntfor partner in the business was born at Cheyenne where he received his early educa- tlonal training supplemented with the final polish in Europe. He came to Casper in April, 1915, to accept a position as assistant cashier of the Casper National Bank with which institution he remained for Our eyes are the school teach- ers of our brain.

Gentlemen of the road who have a habit of making one-night etands and establishing their headquarters in whatever “Jungle” they may find are blamed for a fire which yester- day morning destroyed the old dance hall formerly run in connection with the North Platte Inn. The fire broke out at 4 a, m. and lasted for only half an hour, The building was about 100 feet by 50 feet in size and was of frame| material, covered oviy with a cor- rugated iron roof. It was easy prey to the flames. The structure was on the bank of the Platte river at Durbin street. It had been closed for several months following an abatement placed against it and the North Platte Inn last winter. ——— HUPP OUTPUT AT CAPACITY Continued record production by the Hupp Motor Car corporation makes it certain that its high bus!- ness volume of 1922 will be sur- passed this year before the end of October, with its entire manufactur- ing facilities still engaged at capa- city in an effort to keep pace with sales. The reception which has been ac- corded the new Hupmobile models has been so enthusiastic that the demand exceeds the factory capa- city to manufacture, it was learned at its executive offices in Detroit yesterday. Then new models were introduced early in August. September production has been set at 4,400 cars. As a consequence of this demand, Hupp has been re- cently running at capacity six days per week, in place of the regular five and one-half day working week prevalent in the manufacturing end of the automotive industry.
