Many spoke against the use of brick, while others stated that they found this to be the best pivement used in cities. As other business had to be brought before the council, the Seminary question was deferred to a special meetof the council to be held next Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock in the council room.

High prices prevail at the farm auction sales in Putnam county, there being an especially strong demand for hogs, especially of the pure-bred variety. Two big sales were belli Tuesday, the Dobbs A: McCloud dissolution sale and the O. G. Kivett sale. Each sale was held in, Marion township. but as the sales were five miles apart large crowds attended each. The Dobbs & McCloud sale totaled approimately $12,000. This year the purchasers, although given the privilege of giving notes for their purchases, are mostly paying cash. At the Dobbs & McCloud sale two Duroc sows sold for $125 each; another pen of four sows sold at $110 each, and

THIRTY NAMES HAVE BEEN SENT TO NEW GENT, SECRETARY OF YT1 AMERICAN LEGION FOR LOCAL CHARTER —BIG ENROLLMENT EXPECTED.

ALL SOLDIERS INTtHdifED

What will the post of the American Legion in Putnam county be named? The thirty charter members nave been secured and a letter has been sent to State Secretary Russell Newgent making application for a post of this organization. The instructions to Greencastle men state that the local orsf.ir.ization cannot bo named after any living person. It is probable that the organization will be named after some person who has given their life in the great war. Putnam county has had many splendid men die in the war and the organiza-ti-m should be named after one who has given his life in the country’s service. Greencastle ai d 'Putnam county people are asked to ruLimit sugges1 tions for the naming of the local post. Vnyune having suggestions will please .send them to the Herald office end a deddon will be made by a committee as to the most appropriate name suggested.
