NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS NETTED AT UNION COUNTY FARM SALE

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The pleasant farm home of Mrs. Nellie I. Pheanla, four miles northcast of Liberty. In Union county, was

the scene of a great gathering of

friends and neighbors on Wednesday. ' It Is seldom indeed that a farm sale brings out so many ladles as were present on this occasion. The ladles of the Hannah's Creek Christian church were nearly all present, and served the lunch, and It was a good

lunch. That they collected consider

ably over $100 was not surprising, In

view of the crowd of. buyers at the

sale. Owing to the recent death of her husband, Mrs. Pheanls decided that a sale was Imperative and the friends of the family were present In large

numbers to help make her sale a

success. Mrs. Pheanls will now reride in Richmond with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Bennett, where her pretty little daughter will be a petted grandchild.

The sale took place on the old T. J.

Bennett farm, which had been pur

chased by other members of the Pheanls family, we are told. A Nine-Thousand Dollar Sale.

After deducting some articles which were reserved for private sale, includ

ing an Overland car, the sale totaled $8,878.90. This ranks the Pheanls sale among the "big" ones of the sale season In this vicinity. V. E. Bako and O. S. Bake, father and son, of College Corner, were the auctioneers, and T. E. Rodefer and Guy B. Howren, of Liberty, Ind., were the clerks. Mr. Rodefer, who Is connected with the Union County National bank, acted aa cashier. It took about six hours to dispose of the hundreds of Items comprising the offerings and the sale closed at 4 o'clock. Five mares and two horses, ranging from five to ten years old, sold for $1,494.50, practically $214 per head, which speaks well for their quality. Cliff Pheanls bid the high dollar on some of them. E. E. Post, of Liberty, took 600 bushels -of corn at $1.61, while I C. Downer, also of Liberty, paid $1.66 for contents of crib No. 2, containing between 350 and 400 bushels, estimated. Hay sold at from $16.50 to $22, as to quality,, about thirty tons going to various bidders. Ninety Hogs Were Sold. There was a liberal choice of hogs, ninety head of various ages, and of both Durocs and Big Type Polands, being listed. L. C. Downer paid $51 each for two sows; while others went considerably higher for mature animals. Chas. Ross paid $112 for two sows. A lot of little pigs weighing about fifty pounds caused some animated bid-1 ding among feeders. All hogs found quick and ready sale, showing that the treat American hog is still in high favor, regardless, so far, of the ups and downs in price of corn. As a matter of information it may also be stated that this has been the rule at all recent farm sales coming under the writer's observation, both in Ohio and Indiana. Fair prices were paid for cattle, of which twenty head were sold. The top price was brought by a black Holfitein cow, A. P. Creek paying $150 for her. Walters & son, of Brookville, Ind., was reprecented at the sale by Jacob Abraham, who bought one cow, one heifer and four steers for a total of $528.50, a good high average. An extensive showing of agricultural Implements and a lot of good harness, hog houses, etc., added interest to the tp.le, also dollars. A "Brown make" wagon sold for $139 and a corn binder at $50. The usual assortment of plows, rakes, harrows and tools were disposed of quickly at satisfactory igures in the main. The following named were among the buyers who settled at the close of

EXTRA LONG WEAR

ROM

SHOES

T. D. Collins of Ookala, Hawaii, makes a remarkable statement which demonstrates the money-saving durability of Neolin Soles. He writes, "After wearing a pair of Neolin-soled shoes off and on for thirty-three months, I wore them on a trip to the volcano of Kilauea andi walked around the crater over hot lava six times and still the soles showed only slight sign3 of wear." ' This experience is not accidental. It results from the scientific process by which Neolin Soles are made to be exactly what soles should be comfortable, waterproof and exceedingly economical because of the long wear they give. Get them on new shoes for all members of the family and have them put on worn shoes. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to outwear any other heels. fleolin Soles Snte Mirk Bm. U.S. M.OS.
