Leased Wire Report. SONGS AND PRAYER START STOCK SALE Innovation Tried by Clarence Smith Attracts Crowd of Breeders. An Innovation in the way of farm sales was held on the farm of Clarence A. Smith on the New Castle and Lewlsvllle pike today. As announced on his sale bills the sale was opened with a prayer, and the singing of hymns. The announcement proved to be a good drawing card and a large crowd of hog breeders was present. Fifty bead of Immune, Duroc Jersey hogs were sold by Col. Albert Morris, assisted by Col. Lea M. James and Col. Guy Strong. The animals represented the best breeding in the country, and the sows were bred to such boars as Joe Orion S. 57307, a son of Joe Orion II grand champion at the Chicago International show. SHIP HORSES TO SALE Forty-five head of horses were delivered at Richmond today from northern counties in Indiana for consignment to the local horse sale Saturday afternoon. The animals are of uniformly good type, mostly suitable for farm purposes. There are several animals in the lots that will meet the army requirements, and it is hardly likely that the farmers will get a chance to buy- them as there will be several buyers present Saturday who are making up consignments of animals for foreign army agents. With the animals which farmers are expected to consign to the sale there should be more than 75 horses sold Saturday. Representative Sales At Indianapolis HOGS. No. Av. Dk.
