Carroll County Farmers Hear AA A Leader Edict Hopeful Days
About 100 Carroll County men attended the nine county Illinois Agricultural Association meeting at Polo Community High School. Frank Smith, president of the TAA, urged unity among farmers and business leaders to restore prosperity, citing farm income declines since 1920 and rising taxes.

Roske lost a spare tire at Polo, with tire and wheel stolen from his car.
