That action follows charges of
Karl Sellers j a former rice-president,
although the formation of an
investigating committee is said to
be apart from nis efforts to bring
about early changes In the com-,
pany's s management. The Inquiry
will be impartial, the committee
eaid, and aimed to obtain more In
formation on the company's af
fairs than was set forth in its 1920
report. Members of the commit
tee are not connected with . the
company's nanagement, the an
nouncement declared, nor with
those "attacking the manage
ment." ; '.'
The committee, it was learned,
has asked the American Smelting
and Refining eompany for sepa
rate balance sheets of that organi
zation and ot the American Smelt
ers Securities company, the com
mon stock of 5which it owns. The
proposed Inquiry deals with last
year's dividend payments .by the
smelting and refining company
and with methods of valuing In
ventories. ' t -
It-is contended that the com
pany paid f dividends through
drawing down the surplus of the
securities company from a sum In
excess of $12,000,060 at the be
ginning of 1920, to $4,282,000 at
the end 'of the year.
The Guggenheim interests,
which formed .and have since di
rected the smelting and refining
company today denied that any
basis exists for the charges and a
hot contest for votes Is being
waged. ' r , - .
The investigation committee is
composed of Henry Evans, presi
dent ot the Continental Insurance
company; Clarence II. Kelsey,
president ot the title guarantee
and trust company; Henry K.
Pomroy of Denny. Pomroy ' and
company; Willi D. Wood of Ladd
and Wood, and Henry Whiton,

company. ' . '
CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING
(Continued from page 1) :
dismayed, I have served 70a many
times before, may I not serve you
now?" . 5
I acted on the Impulse of the
moment, thanks to the telephone.
and promptly phoned the follow
ing ad to the Statesman. 'Apples,
75c per box at . the Prescott or
chard, 2 1-2 miles in Polk county
on the Oak Grove road. Bring
your -boxes and pick the apples
yourself."''.'
For several days after the ad
was published the weather was
very bad and no one came for ap
plets, but the weatheT changed
and with the improved condition
came a continuous stream of apple
customers from all over the coun
try. Farmers as well as town
folks, lawyers, dostors, preachers,
Insurance agents, real -estate men,
merchants, automobile dealers,
capitalists, housewives, stenogra
phers and some might handsome
one too. Sunday- wa the trades
man s day the only day be could
get away.
Everybody was delighted at the
opportunity to get up in a tree
and pick the apples. It was great
sport. People brought their
lunches and stayed all day. In
short time the apples were not
only all picked from the trees but
all the windfalls were also picked
up and long. after the apples were
all gone people continued to come,
and phone calls regarding apples
continued Tor severaiweeks.
Through the classified ad
overcame the high wages and as
the people took everything Just as
It came I saved the usual culling,
grading and packing expense and
realized a greater margin of profit
than ever before. . '
To say that I was surprised at
the results is putting It mildly.
' The fact that so many classes
of people came, for apples is con
clusive evidence that the classified
ad Is read by all!. , '

Corporation Commissioner
Handley received Information of
McFarland's operations .here and
an appointment was arranged
whereby Handley pjayed the role
of a prospective investor to the
extent of $10,000. By this coup
he detected that . McFarland's
work was not regular, but be
cause ot doubt whether the "blue
sky" law would apply in the case,
it was arranged after a consulta
tion with the district attorney to
make the charge obtaining money
by false pretenses to give oppor
tunity for further investigation.
This charge is based on tran
sacTTons made by McFarland with
Mr. Neimeyer and .with ISccke k
Hendricks into which they entered
ag a ruse to trap McFarland. He
had given Niemeyer an exclusive
contract to sell the new apart
ments." but it was discovered he
had given the same kind of a con
tract to Becke & Hendricks. A
part of McFarland's plan, it la
said, was to publish a prospectus
in; which the agent was to have
an advertisement. Upon the ad
vice of the district attorney Nie
meyer and Becke & Hendricks
each agreed to an advertisement,
each paying $25., In addition
Niemeyer advanced a loan of
$12.50 taking a certificate on the
Mount Vernon apartment house as
security. Further McFarland is
said to have attempted f 16 enter
into contracts with local con
tractors, plumbers and electric
dealers and to borrow money on
the contracts.
