PROCEEDS PUT MILLER SALE AMONG BIGGEST Example for Childless Homes Cared at Auction Sale Near Dublin. BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN Before we tell you of the "top" on cows, and the prices teams brought at one of the largest sales of the season, we are gong to talk for a moment about two children who attended that sale. They are brother and sister, the sister being six and the brother but four years of age. There ia more than the mere fact of these children being present to tell you; there is a story of heart interest in God's little ones and a moral to all who need to take it to heart. These bright little tots came from Knightstown, Ind. Nothing strange about that, you say; there are a lot of children in that well-known old town. There are indeed, far too many of them; dear little tots who are entitled to a better home than the orphanage at Knightstown affords, and to the love and care that no state insitutlon anywhere provides, more's the pity. Some day we are going to make a pilgrimage to Knightstown for the specific purpose of seeing and talking to these children, these orphan wards of the state. Then we are going to tell you more about them, a story devoted exclusively to these little folks and to those who care for them. It should be interesting reading to the entire Palladium family, to which every reader of this paper belongs. Wanted One and Took Two. A very motherly looking woman sat in a big rocker in the Horace M. Miller parlor when we entered the room. Cuddled closely in her arms were the two children referred to, and they were calling her "Mamma." Now, as a matter of fact, Mrs. Clint Stonecipher Is a grandma; she proudly admits it. But she loves children, little children in particular, and her home seemed lonely without them; so she and her husband Journeyed to Knightstown. A little girl who needed a home and mother love was her quest. After selecting the little girl she was willing to adopt, a little boy came into the room, ran to the child seated on her knee, called her sister and kissed her. His fate was decided then and there for she couldn't bear to think of separating them. This was in July of last year. Papa and mamma Stonecipher are happy because of their love for the little folks and the children have forgotten all the troubles of the past. To see the affection and trust those children displayed for their foster parents was a sight to warm the cockles of the heart. If there be a moral or suggestion of an opportunity for greater happiness in this story, It Is freely yours. HORACE M. MILLER SALE The Horace M. Miller sale was held Tuesday at the old Miller homestead, miles northwest of Dublin, Ind., on the state line road. It was some sale, a livestock sale, if you please, with fringes and trimmings. No, it wasn't a good day for a sale, nor were the roads inviting, for nud lay a mile deep over all the landscape, by algebraic calculation. But no matter as to that. Men who attend sales are inured to all kinds of weather and conditions, and if intent on buying they are present, regardless. The Miller sale was essontially a livestock sale; though a fow implements and odds and ends were offered to warm up the crowd. There were fifteen head of horses, 100 of cattle and forty of hogs listed in our advertisement of this sale, and evidently none of them got away. It was an all-day sale. Five auctioneers were on the grounds, working in relays; otherwise they would have been breathless. The auctioneers were Col. Tom Conniff, Vanderbeck and Son, Clem' Conway and Everett Button. Oliver L. Macy was clerk, and Hawley Hall, of the First National bank at '1 fCra55EHE!? s. i Made from

Lewisville, Ind., was cashier of the sale. Sale Nets Over $13,000. Thirteen may be an unlucky number but who among us would not prefer getting $13 to $12, and just so with thirteen thousand. The Miller sale netted $13,211, and ranks among the headliners. Some more than ordinarily high prices were paid for cattle. For instance, one Shorthorn heifer brought $200, the top on cows; and D. E. Haskett was the buyer. Mr. Haskett paid in about $2,200 for cattle. E. E. White of Knightstown, did almost as well by the cashier of the sale. Luke Langston is not to b overlooked, either. He bid $102.75 on sixteen head of steers, a like'y bunch, and this one purchase cost him over $1,600. The rest of the cattle went to various buyers at different prices, a number of cows selling above $150. W. E. Dynes was also a heavy buyer and spent at least $1,000 in the various rings. Among the buyers of cattle were: Wright and Dynes, Centerville, two red cows at $120 each, and one cow at $154; Morton Stanley, two white faces at $110 and $130; James Maroney, two Shorthorn cows for $280, one heifer at $90, two red cows at $117.50 each; Charles Curlin, cow ot $123; Emory White, one cow at $107 and another at $162.50; Charles Haskett, cow at $105; Claude Haskett, cow at $107.50; Bud Gay ton, heifer at $160 and cow at $102; Bob Hensley, heifer at $52; Clayton Kimmel, cow at $111; Ollie Hodgin, calf at $41, and other cattle. Alf. Langston

paid $75, then $80 and next $99 for cows, and took in a calf at $41 for good measure. James Maroney was also among those present and his cows cost him $82, $85 and $130. John Dynes selected two cows for which he paid $125 each. What Horses and Hogs Brought The first horse to show was an eight-year-old bay mare which went at $170, K. Staut being the lucky man. George Taube made a selection next, his gelding costing him $172.50, after which Charles Butler got a black drafter at $136. The next to be offered was a pair of black geldings, which went to Charles Auger for $405, and looked fully worth the money. Omer Taylor got the next team, gray geldings, at a cost of $390, after which Mr. Taube picked up a couple of horses, singly, at prices which looked good to him. The horse sale may bo considered very satisfactory, all'round. Charles Shortridge, Frank C. Dillon Carl McNutt and Roy Thomas were among the horse buyers. A big Duroc cow brought $80.50 and as far as our notes show, this was the top in the hog ring. Burley Jordan was the buyer and he also took in a number of swine, his next sow costing him just $10 less. Clint Stonecipher bought a pen of nine feeders at $15 per head, also two sows at $74 and $75 each. Will Ward paid from $50 to $58 for a few gilts,, after which Abner Langston picked up a sow at $73, Fred Palin one at $51, and Riley Laymon another at $54. Then Mr. Palin again got 'into action and bought two gilts at $59.50 each. Glen Golay, Webb Runnel, and a few others took in hogs at various prices. Ladies' Aid Serves Lunch. The ladies who served the lunch at the Miller sale are entitled to credit, compliments and cash, and received all three in good measure. It was not an auspicious day to attend a sale, to begin with, and when one contemplated the array of pies which the Ladles' Aid of the Friends church of Dublin had constructed and donated, and then brought out to the sale; also the several other appetizing dishes, a part of which were cooked in the Miller home and served hot, one felt like being really grateful for such service. The entire membership of the society donated something but all were unable to attend. Those present to serve were: Mrs. Emma Henby, Mrs. Glen Gilbert, Mrs. Cora Kellum, Mrs. Delia Taylor, Mrs. Martha Henley, Mrs. Florence Smith, Mrs. Amanda Hall, Mrs. Anna Miller, Mrs. Jennie Hunnicut, and the Misses Ethel Macey and Mary Hoover. There was a hungry and urgent crowd in waiting when the dinner bell sounded, the "dinner bell" in this instance being the musical voice of one of the ladies who announced the glad tidings to the men waiting outside in the chilly atmosphere. The crowd was much larger than one might expect in view of all the circumstances, and it was composed mostly of buyers who came for business. A pleasant day and good roads tried it. But

A number of farm implements were included in his offering, also cows and horses, but no hogs. A lot of seed oats went at the low price of 60 cents per bushel, for some cause, mostly lack of demand, presumably, while on the other hand, some good hay sold up to $22 a ton, and Implements brought full face value. A team of draft horses sold to John Beard at $265; and Ed Pedro paid the top on cows, $120. Cows sold at good average prices, depending on age and quality, and the same can be said in regard to the horses. O. E. Ross of Winchester cried the sale, and John Christopher was clerk and cashier. The sale was not a large one but was said to be none-the-less satisfactory as to prices realized and amount netted. The Ladies Aid of the Huntsville church served a nice lunch and the church treasury was correspondingly benefited. A 1?

THOUGHTS and THINGS The business of living, when boiled down to its clearest essence and all the froth skimmed off, is just a matter of thinking. Each of us is continually thinking ideas of our own and swapping them for the ideas of others. If there is a famine of outside ideas we shrivel up ourselves. Children with "nobody to play with" are unhappy and unmanageable. From thinking with our heads to doing with our hands is but a little step and then our thoughts become things. It is because men of America are so unfettered in their thinking and doing that this country is such a fine place to live in. It is also because these thoughts are freely radiated and spread broadcast, in the distribution of manufactured things and in the distribution of the facts about them (advertising) , that this country is such a fine place to live in. The originator of an idea is not much better off than before he originated it till he gets some one else to absorb it and enjoy it and benefit by it. The man or woman surrounded by better thoughts and things but who pays not the slightest attention to them is not much better off than the one with "nobody to play with." The advertisements in the papers are thoughts telling you about the ideas that other men and women have thought out for your happiness. Read the ads. They are the voices from hundreds of thousands of looms, shops, foundries, studios, laboratories, where millions of minds are turning pleasant thoughts into worth while things for your comfort
