'ai A

. By wiLLIAM R. SANBORN On that day or all bad days, Saturday,. February 22nd, In the year of grace, 1919,. Simon Atwell, of Wayne county, Indiana, put over his farm sale. So much Is now history, and we propose to print it. It was a day of muddy roads, of rain and windswept fields; a day to hug the fireside and let Nature take Us course. 7 Now you know the kind of day It was, out near Williamsburg, and the kind of weather they had on the Atwell farm, when the tent ropes let go at 2 o'clock. They were just In the act of selling a placid and friendly cow. The price had climbed to $75 and the auctioneer was trying to make it a hundred, when the crowd scattered and bossle headed for the barn. '. When the sidewall went out so did bossie and the crowd. Nobody hurt, nor any particular harm done when the top .flattened out,-. for -willing hands cleared the ground, rolled up the canvas and the sale proceeded to its conclusion. But it wag a trying day allround. It was a test of Interest and friendship, all over this section, to attend a farm sale on such a day. In view of this fact the attendance was surprisingly large .and the bidding spirited. Not only were buyers plenty but the home was comfortably filled with women who had braved the storm to be present with Mrs. Atwell and the youngsters on a mighty important and busy day. The Ladies' Aid of the Williamsburg Methodist church served the lunch, and no one went hungry; the' supplies and hot coffee lasting until the close. .... - Implements 8ell High The Atwell farm implements and machinery brought good prices, some being practically new and all in good condition. -,Ed Johnson paid $63 for a Stag sulkeyplow; $37 for a corn plow and $26 for another plow, , Emery Oler thought so .well of a corn planter that he ran it up to $90, and J. It. McQuiston paid $90 for a 2-row, pivot axle corn plow. The Weber wagon, good as newt- went at $118 after spirited bidding, and was knocked down to Frank Simpklns. Allen Gilmer paid $29 per ton for a lot of fertilizer. Harness sold at better than average sale figures as to quality. Ed Starbuck and Charle3 Lacey got the choice in the harness line. Ed Johnson took in all the corn, about 150 bushels, at $1.52. Prices on Livestock Some very good cows were put up. Including three or four pure-bloods. The r Bering consisted of Shorthorns, Jerseys, HolstelnB, and crosses. One full-blood Shorthorn went to Marshall Jeffries at $90; Dock Bookout got a good Holstein at $78 a five year old full-blood; and a Jersey and Holstein cross" atr $75. Ed Johnson - paid $65 for a "three gallon" cow and asked no questions as to pedigree. A JerseyHolsteln was bid up to $100 and E. O. Miller will milk her in future, unless some of his folks deprive him of that pleasure. It was in the middle of the cow sale that the tent came down, but the good-natured crowd 6tayed right by the sale until the end. No feeding cattle were offered. All hogs were guaranteed doubleimmuned, which is a feature, that counts with buyers. Five Hampshire recorded tried sows were in the entry; also a lot of Big Type Polands and a number, of Durocs. A registered yearling Poland boar from the Frank Williams herd went to Burley Jordan at the bargain price of $49.50, the demand for boars being limited. Mr. Jordan

also got two fine gilts at $35.50 and another at $39. Hogs 8o Id for Red Croat. Two tiny "belt" pigs were sold for the benefit of the Green township chapter of the Red Cross. Tom Conniff paid $5 for choice and donated It back for sale. The two were then put together and were bought by' Burley Jordan for $8.50. Irvin Oler bid in three "belt" sows at $59, having bid for choice with privilege of all three. Earl Welsh secured two fine gilts at $80 for the pair, two more for $88 and others at varying prices. Ed Johnson got one "belt" sow at $45, and Frank Clements paid $67.50 for a good Duroc. Harry Crook took such an interest in the hog ring that he invested in $134 In gilts, while Grant Watkins, of Williamsburg, secured six small shoats at $14.20 per head. Taken straight through the list the prices brought by the hogs were fairly satisfactory, and the same may be said as to cows, in the main. - The sale was conducted by Col. Conniff, Albert Hindman, of Hagerstown, and Clem Conaway, of Moreland. Ray Swallow, of the American Trust and Savings, acted as clerk, and Will Lewis, president of the Williamsburg National bank, was cashier. The sale totaled, in round numbers; $5,000. - Among the buyers whose names appeared on the sales sheet were: Lew Hinshaw, Everett Clark, Tom Haisley, Albert Gilmer. Enos Thornburg, C. J.

Care of Silk Fabric

FARM Sale Calendar

By GRACE E. HADLEY. Home Demonstration Agent. In the care of silk fabrics the points to be remembered are that they are easily effected by heat and that alkalies destroy them. In laundering silk use luke warm water, avoid strong soap3 and iron with a moderately hot iron. These precautions are taken because of the yellowing and stiffening of silk with heat, and the destructive effect of the alkali. The use of white silk, crepe de chine and georgette crepe, especially for collars, cuffs and other trimmings has made the care of silk fabrics a matter of special interest. The period of service of garments made from any of these materials as well as white silk gloves and washable satin fabrics is greatly prolonged If the above precautions are taken. Dyeing Silk. If the fabric is all silk, then an all silk dye can be used, but if the fabric is a mixture of cotton and silk a cotton silk dye should be used. The dyeing of silk is a very difficult process because of the effect of heat on silk fabrics and the weighting material present in the silk. It is advisable to use the silk in its original form as long as possible and to avoid dyeing except in unusual cases. At all times a small sample should be tested first

and the directions given on the commecial package should be followed absolutely. ' ' Uneveness in dyeing can be avoided by having the silk material thoroughly wet before placing in the dye mixture and also by using a large enough kettle or pan so that the material can be frequently and thoroughly stirred.

D. rrobably no man in America was ever better qualified to successfully treat the diseases peculiar to women than Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The cases that como to him run into many thousands, giving him an experienco that rarely comes to any ono man. Dr. Pierce found that in nearly every case there were certain vegetable growths which rarely failed to give prompt relief in those feminine disorders from which so many women suffer. He combined these roots and herbs into a temperance medicine that he called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for that is precisely what it was. This medicine is

APPROPRIATION

MEASURE CAUSES . DISSATISFACTION (By Associated Praia) INDIANAPOLIS Pbd. 24 Dissatisfaction of the members of the lower house of the Indiana legislature with the regular appropriation -measure, providing for expenditures for -the next two fiscal years .totaling approximately $6,000,000 annually because toey could not understand from the bill what the proposed appropriations are to be used for resulted this morning in a motion being, adopted that certain state departments shall furnish itemized statements to the members by Monday , afternoon when the house will be resolved as a committee of the whole to continue discussion of the bill. . "v," v.. The regular appropriation measure as introduced by Representative Swain of Pendelton, manufacturer and banker, does not specify how proposed appropriation by some state department are to be expended. Among these are the public service commission which would be given a lump sum of

$109,000 for "salaries and expenses;"! the board of pharmacy $5,000 for enforcing the . anti-narcotic law, and others. - Representative Symons, of Lewisville, a banker, moved that the depart-

; ment furnish the - house members

"itemized statements where not set out in the appropriation measure" by Monday afternoon. Speaking on his motion, he said he Intended no reflection on any one but he added, "It would leave a better taste in our mouths and in the mouths of the people if we know exactly how this money that we are called upon to appropriate is to be expended." Answering the members, representative Swain said that if they would study the report of the visiting committee, which submitted recommendations on which the appropriation measure is based, they could get the information. . Questions raised by other members whether the department could give the information requested by Monday afternoon led Speaker Eschbach to suggest that the house arise from the committee of the whole Monday afternoon and continue the study of the bill until such a time as the information was furnished.

Some men are content to play second fiddle, while others will never be satisfied until they swing the baton.
