FAGE THREE

CATTLE BRINGS HIGH PRICE AT COUNTY FARM SALE MONDAY

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN ' The old King homestead on the Richmond and Newcastle pike is one of the best known farm , houses in Wayne county. The spacious old brick mansion with its large, shaded lawn, is a feature in the landscape which attracts the attention of all who pass that way. The King farm lies six miles northwest of Richmond It was at the King homestead that Luther Z. King held his farm sale on Monday, a cloudless, winter day, that invited the enjoyment of the sunny outdoors. The pleasant winter weather and improved roads naturally tended to bring out a crowd, and buyers were numerous. Col. Thomas Connlff was to have been in charge of this sale as auctioneer, but owing to illness was unable to be present The sale was cried by Simon Weddle and Col. Ross of Winchester, and the bookkeeping was done by F. E. McMinn and Frank Kiser of the Dickinson Trust company. Mr. McMinn turned over 6,100 in perfectly good money and checks to Mr. King, at the close of the sale. This sale was by no means a "cleanup." Mr. King is not quitting the farm, simply renting the acreage, and he will continue to occupy his old home, preferring country life to city life. One of his sons is in the service and the father is inclined to take life a little easier than the demands of 160 acres would make possible. Cows Bring High Prices. There were 37 head of good Shorthorn grades in the catle list. But 4 or 5 horses and one span of mules were put up and there were 37 head of double immuned Durocs in the hog pens. A number of fine cows were sold, some with calf at side and near the top of the list was a red cow and calf which brought $155; and Robert Hart was the buyer. Mr. Hart recently paid (225 an acre for a farm over near Boston and was a liberal spender at the King sale. Among his purchases was a roan cow at $140. There was a white cow in the lot that was said to weigh 1,670 pounds, and looked it This particular cow bo greatly appealed to Ollie Hodgin that he paid considerably over J200 for her, and Rome Shurley was among the bidders who ran up the price on him. j Mr. King announced that all the cattle on offer had been raised on his own farm, and that his guarantee as to milkers had no strings attached. Among the cows sold one went to William Harris at $138 and another to Klmer Jackson at $131; Mr. Jackson also securing two young heifers at $55 and two more at $51 per head. The Farlows were liberally represented at the sale; Walter buying enough livestock to warrant a check for $1,650, of which amount $279 went for two mighty choice cows. J. T. Maher secured his cow at only $119, after cow buyers were pretty well "filled up." j, ,- In the horse ring Charles Dailey secured a brown gelding for $110, while a brown mare sold to Oscar Lundy it $76. A nine-year-old Shetland pony, good natured, fat and lazy, was sold to Ollie Hodgin for $31. But that was only the beginning of trouble in connection with the pony. There was a pony, "buggy" and harness on hand for which the buyer, John Hart, living near Camden, Ohio, paid $60 amid ftome hilarious chaffing and bidding. James Clements bid in the span of 7-year-old brown mules at $3S5. Tom Ryan got a sorrel horse at $126. Hog Ring Sales Joseph Mustard opened the ball in the hog ring by paying $72 for a sow and 8 pigs; after which Robert Jenkins got a sow with six little ones for $00.23, while Walter Farlow chipped in $97.50 for a sow and five little fellows. Hogs sold well, was the verdict of the bidders, and that, too, was the opinion, of the satisfied seller. No grain was sold, for that is still to be needed on the farm, but twenty tons of mixed hay went under the hammer. Isaac Cates, the first buyer, paid $21 for two tons, and the last buyer got a like amount at but $15.50 per ton. Some farm tools and implements were sold, none going at notably high prices, the top, wo believe, $63 for a doublo set disc cultivator. The sale netted $6,100. Webster Red Cross Serves Lunch. The ladies of the Webster township Red Cross were out in force to serve an appetizing lunch, which all seemed to enjoy. That these good women netted over $50 above expenses is a ' cause for congratulation. This happens to be the first time that the writer has had the pleasure of meet ing these ladies at a farm sale and lie shall not miss the opportunity of telling those who lunched so well, who it was that served them so bountifully.

Minnie Tingler. They all had a busy and enjoyable day, which was also profitable to the Red Cross chapter. RUFUS BOOKOUT FARM SALE After a man attains the wealth and dignity accrueing to the owner of two or three farms he is entitled to have a sale and to move to town, if he cared to. That is what Rufus Bookout thinks, it seems, for he has moved to Hagerstown and a tenant will farm the old place, scarcely more than a gunshot from the north town line. Horace Scott will now farm the Bookout place. -1 The Bookout sale occurred on Monday, a mighty pleasant day for a farm sale, as it happened. There were some . surplus furniture offerings to attract the ladies and an enterprising dealer contributed a wagon load of brooms to the matinee. The brooms were sold last of all, and after many buyers had gone home but to see women carrying from two to six brooms to their righ would lead one to imagine that brooms were no longer made and this the last chance to get a few. . They sold mostly at 70 to 80 cents. Among the bargains picked up at this sale was a 5-passenger Ford car for which Richard Conway paid out $307.50. Mr. Bookout figured that it would take $10 worth of gasoline to match that car at anywhere near that price. Livestock offerings Limited Edward Field secured the choice of the cows sold at $125, but did not go high enough to get her calf, which Bold at $20. Richard Conway got the other two cows at $100 and at $85, both Shorthorns. George Harter bid $100 for a bay mare to which the auctioneer said O. K. Oscar Jones bought a big white mare for $107.50 while a large dark brown mare sold at the top figure of $180. About twenty head of sows and shotes went under the hammer, the most of them going to John Moster, of Jacksonburg, at various prices. The top on sows was $60. Floyd Beeson paid the top on mixed hay, $19 per ton. The next buyer got three tons at $18 and the last of the lot was closed out at $16.75. Medium red clover sold at $22.50 and Little Red at $25.80 per bushel for top. Ross Davenport took the 250 bushels of white corn at $1.54 for a fine article. Harry Thornburg paid the high dollar for clover. Albert Hlndman, of Hagerstown, induced the bidders to part with $2,900 in exchange for his wares and Frank Hay, a neighboring farm owner, took in the money, assisted by Frank Ma

son, of Hagerstown, who acted as
