A REPUTATION LIVED UP TO
The Moline-Monitor, introduced in 1871, was the first com-
mercially successful grain drill Its many patented and ex-
clusive features and its quality construction have enabled it
always to live up to its name which signifies well regulated,
systematic crop drilling.
It always pays to get a Moline-Monitor for long life ac-
curacy and dependability, careful handling of seed, accu-
rate regulation of amount of seed to be sown, uniform depth
of drilling, uniform covering of seed, and
-. faster drilling speeds.
J We’ll be glad to go into detail for you
n I on any features of these drills you may
_______ be interested in.

Southwestern Bell Telephone Com-
pany has been reminded that it pled-
ged to he at work in a year or to
have extensions well under way
when the company obtained rate in-
creases almost a year ago.
Some weeks ago the Chamber of
Commerce passed a resolution calling
on the telephone company to make
good oh its announced plans. The
resolution said in part that unless
the phone company began the system
improvements it announced last Oc-
tober soon the Chaml>er would ask
the City Council to rescind the order
by which it granted increase in
rates.
Representatives of the Telephone
Company have since met with the
Chamber of Commerce and asked the
Directors to rescind the resolution.
This has been done. There is now
nothing of record officially calling
attention of the telephone company
to its promises about an expansion
of the system.
Recently representatives of South-
western Bell Telephone Company met
with Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce and requested that body
to rescind the resolution. The offi-
cials of the company went into detail
to explain how the delays have oc-
cured; that reconstruction in the
big ice area last winter and spring
had delayed the big program of ex-
pansion in exchanges over the state.
After hearing the officials the dir-
ector agreed to withold any action.
The Chamber, it was understood,
feels that something will he done
soon. John C. Andres, President, said
that engineering work has begun.
The company must get subscribers
signed up and there is the matter of
equipment.
The rate increase was granted here
in October 1948. The company prom-
ised a bigger exchange, rural service
expansion and other things.

cally injured as the result of an
accident early Sunday morning when
she was run down by her own car
and dragged gome ten feet near her
camp site on Little River.
Reports early Monday indicuted
that Miss Atkinson is resting well
and improved. It was said that she
hud sustained a broken wrist, broken
pelvis aad broker, collar Itone.
Miss Atkinson und friends built
a camp and cabin on the river near
Marlow near the Sherwood McClaren
farm, some time ago and have l>een
enjoying the summer. As she neared
the camp early Sunday she got out
of her cor to open a "ito. The onr.
out of gear und with the emergency
down, started rolling down a sharp
incline as she opened the gate and
stood in the roadway with her
hack toward the moving car.
When she discovered her predica-
ment it was too late to get out of
the way of the car. She was knocked
down and dragged about 10 feet when
the cur hit a small sundhnr und was
stopped.
Miss Atkinson was pinned beneath
the car for about 45 minutes und
unconscious. When she regained con-
sciousness she tried to escape but
discovered she could not get out from

help. The McClarens heard her criei
for help and young Rex McClaren
raced to the gate on his bicycle and
returned at once to report the acci-
dent.
Miss Atkinson recognized Rex
when he approached the car and
asked him not to touch the car but
to brace the wheels with rocks so
it could not roll further. This done
Rex raced back home and soummon-
ed help. An ambulunce arrived and
took Miss Atkinson to the hospital.
