A note from Mr Lutjens invites participation in the semi annual home furnishings market in Chicago. He plans to attend industry meetings and discussions on better serving America’s homemakers before leaving for the event.
A Le Mars market owner says advance information points to limited items with greater value. He plans to shop to pick stock likely to appeal to locals. Also notes a Woodmen outing for 900 boys at Camp Dodge and a local birth announcement for Murray and wife.
Fred and Duane Henry of Kingsley offer 88 hogs at 237 price 2500 dollars Lylette of Le Mars offers 74 hogs at 308 price of 23 dollars each under local livestock sale listing
The report lists weights and prices for lambs and other stock from Remsen and nearby towns including Chester Spears Le Mars and Emery Viotho Ideton with figures like 86 lb lambs at 25.50 and 100 lb lambs at 25.25, plus a 1,293 and 324 lb entries and a 24.50 price per unit, top listings for Wednesday. A long, biased aside on historical figures follows, mentioning Robert RB Young, Morgan and Vanderbilt interests, Senator Wheeler, and railroad battles.
A farmer from near Omaha trusts an ad seeking property to move into town. The dealer drives him past various lots and “building sites” marketed as close to town and rapidly developing. The farmer retorts that the route even passes his own farm, noting the incongruity of the sales pitch. A separate Ontario sighting mentions a small yellowed sign behind a caster in a small town.
A May 18 note from Wheeler expresses willingness to back an organization, cites patriotic sentiment, and notes fear of smear campaigns. He contrasts Roosevelt and Truman with the current administration, supports Kissinger’s potential, and discusses the New York Central battle where Bob Young seeks control against international opponents aided by Sammy Rosenman.
The piece notes a broad pro-American win led by Bob Young and hints at rising patriotism sweeping out a Morgan Vander- combination. It also recounts a local amateur astronomer asking Dr D O Kite about telescope axis alignment and a joke about location in Le Mars. It ends with a sharp quip on Senator Flanders of Vermont over McCarthy committee issues.
The dispute centers on Flanders a publicity hungry politician who seeks attention through dramatic acts. He notified McCarthy of plans for a hostile speech by walking in and delivering a note on camera. Nationally Flanders is unknown and lacks visibility.
