CATTLE AND MULES IIEADLIHEilS

AT FARM SALE ON SATURDAY

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. We told you the other day of a pair of twin cows, which looked as much alike as two drinks out of the same bottle, and which sold at the same price, $125 per bead, at a farm sale. Many of you think, perhaps, that all farm sales are as much alike as the twln-slster cows, ' except that there are more horses, hogs, sheep and implements at some sales than others. This, In the main, it true, but not In essentials as relates to the family holding the sale. You have also lmmaglned that the most Important sale was the "biggest," a sale where the display of offerings is largest and the Income the greatest You hare made the wrong guess. This is only occasionally true, so far as the folks holding the sale are concerned for the buyer doesn't matter. He has the price, can buy anywhere, the markets of the country are open to him. But to those who give or hold the sale, it is often far different. It all depends. The most Impressive, and also one of the most Important farm sales to the sellers ever coming under the writer's notice, occurred in southern Illinois early in the spring of 1918, on a 40-acre farm. And the total of that sale was less than $1,200. Soldier Boy's Sale The young farmer, a boyish youth, had been called to the colors. At his side stood a girlish wife, and in her arras was the Infant treasure of the twain, a cooing little daughter of four months. The pathos and tragedy of that sale is not to be lightly forgotten. The wife and baby went to grandpa's, the boy to camp, and In late September to France. His very first crop was gathered by those who had not planted It. Has he returned? We do not know; not up to the middle of January, at any rate. JAMES V. KING SALE. ' The James V. King farm sale on Saturday was Important, for two reasons: First, It was the only sale ever held on the King farm in the more than .thirty years of Mr. King's ownership. Next, it was Important because of the number of cattle and mules on offer, the prices brought and the net realized, $8,138. Mr. Kins is not breaking up his home. He plans to farm as usual and to occupy his pleasant farm home for many years and we hope he may. His farm lies three miles southeast of New Paris, on the Orangeburg road. Fifty head of cattle went under the hammer at the King sale, at good prices. There were also 50 head of bogs sold, and not a brood sow in the lot-all . young stock, weighing from 75 pounds to about 150 pounds. In this you will note a variation from or- ' dinary bog offerings at sales reported. Of the twenty mules in the barns, but 14 bead, sold as seven teams, were put tip. Mr. King is to continue farming, remember, and evidently needs all his horses, none being offered for sale. In the implement display was a-15-80 Mogul tractor, also an International motor corn plow. , The latter was sold to Edward Harris, of Gettysburg, O., for $397.50, but the tractor, as we recall, was not put up for sale. A gasoline engine was knocked down to Lee Campbell, of Eaton, for $33, and Ed Cummons got a spreader at $52. About 400 bushels of corn sold at $1.42 and $1.40, It being taken in two lots by I B. Cranor and It. Swisher. What Mules 8old For. Considerable interest centered in mule barn, and H. Burough paid the top, $410 for a team. Elam Lawrence was the next highest bidder, his span costing $407.50. Next in order of price came the span bought by E. R. Clark at $390. Andrew Smith and H. M. Ross each paid $370 for a span, Park Ulrich paid $281 for a pair, while Jerry McCarty and I B. Cranor got their spans at $200 and $177.59 respectively. Hogs sold at very fair prices, which has been .the usual order of late, every fanner seemingly being willing to take a few, no matter how many he is now feeding, if he has the corn to feed. Estey Kimmel garnered a lot of these young Durocs and paid $816.75 for them. Cattle brought tiptop tgures. J. R. Campbell bought eight steers at $35.25, at $39 and at $40 per head. Cliff Gard, of New Hope, paid $890 for ten head of good cattle and John Cook's purchase in the rattle pens cost him $11266. One buyer paid $90 for a cow, which was the top on the four cows sold; Will Gaar got his milker at $70, and John Long got the only two heifers offered for $107. The cattle money alone was $3,200. Sale Brings $8,138. The King sale ranks among the big ones as to cash results, the net being ' $8,138, principally for hogs, cattlo and mules. W. E. North and Guy Katzenbargar, of Greenville, cried the sale and J. A. Day and W. P. Mills, of New Paris kept the records, the latter acting as cashier. The ladies of the New Paris Christian church served a satis fying lunch in a comfortably warmed building, which was the center of all gatherings during sale hours. Among Nthe visitors was Wm. W. Watts, of Richmond, a young man, clad in leath er and wearing a visor of the aviation corps type. The crowd was not large, as crowds sometimes go, but they were free buyers. The list included - Elam Lawrence, Omar Dine, John Busch, Lee Campbell, A. Brubaker, J. C. Judy, Russell Ricker, Ollie Hodgin, Clem Burk, Orville Fudge, Ed Ballinger, John Cook, L. B. Cranor, E. R. Clark, John Watts, H. M. Ross and Clayton Richards. J. M. FOWBLE FARM SALE. Sixty head of live stock sold at full value prices at the J. M. Fowble farm sale on Saturday, the crowd - being large enough.desplte rain and snow, to absorb every thing on offer. While not an overly large sale it ranks as a good one, the net being $3,400. Five horses were cold, the top figure, $270, being brought by a mare. Two Duroc brood sows sold at $61 and $67, and forty shotes, ranging at from: 75 to 110 pounds, averaged over 20 cents per pound as feeders. About 1,000 bushels of corn was sold, one buyer . taking 100 at $1.54, the balance going v tQWilllam Harter at $1.46. Hay sold

at1 $19 and, szu per ton, the Ave tons being divided between two bidders. In announcing his sale, Mr. Fowble stated that he was going to move to his own farm and was selling what! he "did not need on a smaller place." I ', ' ' .

Col. Thos. F. Conniff and Omer Piatt were the auctioneers, and L. S. Bookwaiter, of New Madison, cashier at the sale. The farm on which the sale was held lies just one-half mile north of New Madison, Ohio.

GREENSFORK COMMUNITY 8ALE The weather was against the Community sale at Greensfork on Saturday, but even so a good crowd was in town and the offerings brought sat-

folks didn't get it in on time, in fact it had not arrived on Monday morning. Seven head of young cattle, nine head of horses, a bunch or two of hogs and a few farm implements went under the hammer. Some furniture and odds and ends were contributed, but a lot of stuff promised did not come in from the country, owing to rain and snow. Mr. M. T. Meyers was in charge of the sale, and states that they have decided to hold another community sale on March 15. This will give ample time for due preparation and it is hoped that a large and profitable sale will be held at that time. FARM Sale Calendar FEBRUARY 18 G. Zarwell, 4 miles west of Eldorado C. W.

Members who have proposed placing it on passage under suspension of the rules have been told by opponents that they will defeat the bill if this is attempted, and floor leader Mendenhall said he believes it wll ltake two days time to dispose or the amendments that will be offered. The bill, which provides for codi fication oft the tax laws enacted since 1981, and incorporates new features of giving the state board of tax com missioners control over local assessments and local assessing officials and places original jurisdiction of public utilities, banks, trust companies, and other financial institutions in the hands of the state board, will be sub ject to attack by Republicans not only as concerns the new provisions but as concerns the old as well, members declare, one will venture a prediction in what form the bill will be passed if enacted. Action to Come Soon. Action sometime in the week, however, is regarded as almost certain be members. The situation now Is that if the tax legislation is probable, the bill will have to be passed this week and sent to the senate for its consideration. The specific and general appropriation bills also are in the formulattve period. Representative Swain.

Wilscn to Heme Graves' Successor in Short That (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. President Wilson is expected to appoint a successor to William Graves Sharp, ambassador to France, soon after his return from Europe. The resignation of Mr. Sharp, accepted by the president December 21, was disclosed last night when correspondence between the ambassador and the president was made public at the White House. . Vance McCormick, former chairman of the democratic national committee, was mentional in some circles today as the probable successor of Mr. Sharp. There was no information.

however, in official circles as to whom In forwarding his resignation to the president, Ambassador Sharp said that necessity of returning to care for his business affairs and need for a reBt after the strenuous duties at the Paris post, impelled him to ask to be relieved as soon as his successor could qualify. ; who will intdoduce them, said he expected to have the measures approved by the ways and means committee in the house on Monday. The committee worked until " midnight several nights last week and all of Saturday afternoon on the different proposed appropriations. The appropriations will provide for financing the state's many and varied activities and business during the next two fiscal years, calling for expenditures of more than $8,000,000 annually. Status of Bills. Administration measures and their status insofar as the house is concerned, are commission highway, ,repeal of the two-cent passenger fare, appropriating $10,000 and creating a commission to spend the money in securing a memorial to Charles Warren Fairbankr, all pending on second reading; oil inspection under supervision of state food and drug department ( already passed by the senate); creation of a commission to study and report on betterments of the teacher's retirement fund; and senate joint resolutions initiating changes to the constitution to provide for the state superintendent of instruction; for the governor vetoing the measures as a whole, and for classification of counties for registration of voters, all in committee s of the house., Those on third reading are the measures to make the office of attorney general appointive; to enable cities to adopt the commission or city manager charters of government; to remove and rebuild the state reformatory at Putnamville; to locate a farm colony for feeble minded in southern Indiana. Those passed include the bill giving presidential suffrage to women citizens, creation of a department of conservation, repeal of the German language law of 1868; and creation of a state department of insurance along with the senate resolution for changes to the basic law providing for equal suffrage for citizens; for removing the word "white" from the constitution section relating to militia; and prevention of term or salary increases during incumbency of public office. - , Wrlflht Bill. Non-administration measures which were introduced in the house and in which there is the widest interest include the Wright amendments to the prohibition law, now in such form that attorneys have told Mr. Wright they believe the law, if amended, would enable brewers and distillers to manufacture and sell "home-made" wines, which is ready for final action ; the workmen's compensation bill, providing for sixty-five per cent compensation and drafted so as to bring more industries under the law, which is now on second reading; the legalizing of the Sunday motion picture shows, which is still in committee; prohibiting desecration under penalties that obtain for desecrating the Sabbath, which is on third reading, and numerous others. Since the introduction of the measures providing for repeal of the state public Service commission law, Representatives ewman and Laughlin, authors of the bill, have received information from many places approving the bill. The committee on Judicary also has been solicited to get the measure upon the floor and it has arranged for a public hearing in the supreme court room next Tuesday night. The bills, members first thought were slated to never come out of the committee The Malay is a sportsman. Any kind of a fight draws a great crowd. One of the queerest sports is fish fighting. DAILY HEALTH TALKS A Single Remedy Often Cures Many Diseases BY VALENTINE MOTT, H. D. It is almost impossible to eive a list of the endless diseases that follow indigestion. ! Perhaps a whole column in this newspaper ) would be required to print them all. You eat to keep alive to supply blood and flesh and bone and muscle and brain. It is easy to see that if your food is not digested ana ' taken up by the delicate organs and distributed where it is needed, a disease of 1 cone sort is cure to come. Dyspepsia is a common symptom, and so are liver com plaint, loss of flesh, nervousness, bad! incmory, dizziness, sleeplessness, no appe-; uie. ivi any umes, wnen negiectea, mairjestion results in coughs, throat diseases, catarrh, bronchitis and even more dangerous things. And all these disorders arise because the food is not properly digested in the stomach. It is plain even to a child that relief and cure are to be had only by setting up a healthy condition in the stomach. Dr. Pierce, oT Buffalo, N. Y., many years ago combined a number of vegetable growths into a temperance remedy for indigestion, and called it Golden Medical Discovery. It is probably the most efficacious discovery ever made in medicine, for the list of people all over the world who have had then countless ills overcome by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cakes an amazing total of thousands. I know of no advice better than this: Begin a home treatment today with this good vegetable medicine. It will show you better than 1 can tell vou what it will do. When taking Golden Medical Discovery, you can rest assured of one very important thing it contains neither alcohol nor opiates. There is nothing in it but standard roots and herbs that possess curative properties of a high order. A safe medicine is the only kind you can afford to take.
