CHILD DECIDES FATE OF "LITTLE WHITE DOG" AT COMMUNITY AUCTION

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. An Ideal day and an enthusiastic crawd, a gathering to gladden the heart of any farmer holding a sale, greeted U. M. Stewart of Economy, on Wednesday. The Stewart farm lies along the town line, the property long being known as the John Taylor homestead. Mr. Stewart announced In the Palladium that he had rented his farm,

wnicn is me irmn, 01 course, cm the renting of the form does not mean that the owner has been thrown out homeless upon a cold world; he will remain Just where he Js and Jesse Bond, the new tenant, will live In a house close by. Judging from all the surroundings, Mr. Stewart Is a real farmer. He not only believes In living well and comfortably himself, but In seeing that his stock is well housed and cared for. The commodious, well-arranged and weather proof barn, and the tall silo tell their own story, ' which any passer-by may read, even at 50 miles per hour. And Mr. Stewart Is a believer of cement as a preventar tlve of muddy feet, muddy porches and muddy kitchen floors; the walks around his own property show that. May his tribe increase, for there Is a great need.

Stewart sale nets ,uw. Considering the -number of live

'stock offered, the netting of $8,000 speaks well for the prices obtained. According to the sale .bills, all 'four auctioneers rank as colonels, the sama being Ross of Winchester, Dresbach of Muncie, Conway of Mooreland and Button of Knightstown. John Manning of Economy, cashier of the sale, has no title, being Just a plain banker. Ray C. Ballard, clerk of the sale, also ranks with civilians. Eight head of horse and thirty-one head of cattle went under the hammer. There was also twenty-five brood sows, several with new families at their sides. Many of these fine Durocs were registered, and all of them pure bloods, it was stated. But if the live stock offerings were comparatively limited, the display of Implements was, without exception, we believe, the largest we have noted at any sale thi3 season. A clean-up of implements was made before lunch,

ana it toon some nine lor uisyunai. After lunch had been enjoyed the sale of live stock was held in the large tent, which had been littered with straw, .and roped for an arena. Outside and back of the ropes was a row of bales of straw for seats, but mostly used as standing room to overlook the crowd which lined the ring. With reference to Implements It may be said that a corn planter brought $75 and a big disc $100, both being in prime condition. These were bought by Jesse Bond, who also paid $45 for a culti-packer. When Mr. Bond bid the high dollar on practically all the work harness It was recalled that he was to farm the place and "would need It, also most likely a few nf tha hnmpa which nroved to be true

when these were put up. In fact, Mr. Bond was a liberal buyer of everything that he Judged would come handy. It must not be supposed, however, from what has been said, that everything In the implement line went at about what new machinorv would cost. Still, fair average prl t were realized and In some cases bervr figures were obtained than has been the rule at recent farm sales. Spring is at the door, farm sales nearly over and the opportunity to buy farm machinery at low prices is rapidly passing, gentlemen, so dont overlook the few remaining chances. Nearly twenty tons of hay, six of which were timothy, went at from $17.75 to $21, the average being at

least $20 per ton. About 600 bushels of corn In crib sold to various buyers, mostly at $1.71, though the last of the lot went to Ed Johnson at $1.65 per bushel. Hog Buyers and Prices. There was considerable competition for brood sows and prices ranged fairly high. A full blood Duroc sow with seven pigs went to H. A. Scott at $81. but this was not the "top." Jesse Bond got a pair of Durocs with seventeen little ones and they cost him $94 each. A. C. Underbill paid $S0 for a sow, and Homer Bennett got a sow and pigs for the same money. An extra large sow with eight piglets cost John McLean $91, and he also bought the last two put up, bidding $79 for choice and taking both at same price. Tom Borger got a likely Duroc gilt at $74, while Ralph Bennett again invaded the hog ring long enough to buy a young sow at $64.50, and John Patterson was lucky enough to get a pair of them at $57.50 each. The hog clearance took but little time and was considered very satisfactory. Cattle and Horses.

The tcp on a horse was $150, and on a team $330, Jesse Bond being the j buyer in each instance. The best cow ' Bold, according to the Judgment of the bidders, was bid up to $121, this being the high dollar on milkers. Two good looking Jerseys, the first pair to show in the cattle ring, brought $85 . and $87.50 respectively. A registered, "Golden Fern" cow was the one which brought the most money. No toplin-' era were offered in cows, such as , brought from $150 to $200 at a sale: reported in Wednesday's Palladium,

dui iney were a creuuaoie anu wenfed lot and brought in considerable money. . The Ladies Aid of the Methodist Episcopal church at Economy served a nice lunch to all comers, and didn't ask a soul if they belonged to their church, or to any church. They believed in feeding the hungry and they practiced that doctrine so freely that at 12:30 o'clock - there was nothing left but cookies and coffee. But as they began serving at 11 o'clock It isn't to be supposed' that any went hungry. All members of the society donated freely but not all were present to help serve. The women who served were: Mrs. Frank Greenstreet, Mrs. Earl Cain, Mrs. Charles -Mont; gomery, Mrs. John Manning, Mrs. Ollie Weyl, Mrs.xWill Swaim, Mrs. Elbert Saunders, Mrs. George Ballinger, Mrs. Ray Ballard, Mrs. Louis Albertson, Mrs. Charles Atkinson, Mrs. Jesse Bond. Mrs. O. Cranor Mrs. Gus Weyl and the Misses Belle Conley and Pearl Pugh. , -.- - They were still counting their money when the writer left and we daren't estimate their receipts, but suppose we put it at a thousand dollars to be sure of rating' them high enough. The L. H. Beeson Sale. The L. H. Beeson and Son sale was held on the Beeson farm, five miles south of Richmond on the Liberty pike on Wednesday. Forty-nine head of live stock comprised the bulk of the offering. There was but a small display' of farm tools and implements, and these sold at face value, as to age and condition, the prices realized being satisfactory, in the main. Twenty-nine head of hogs went under the hammer, only five of which were brood sows. Clarence Addleman was the largest buyer in the hog lot, his purchases covering three pens of ehoats at an average of $20 per head and eight pigs at $9 each. Walter Farlow secured two gilts at $28 each, and Ed Rouston got his choice of sows at $61. J. W. Collins paid $57.50 each for two brood sows and secured a young Big Type Poland male at $35. Cattle and Horse Buyers. Quite a number of cattle were listed and O. N. Long made the first selec-

i tion, paying $70 per head for two j steers. Walter Farlow secured a red i heifer at $60 and a steer at $50, while C. E. Hazen bid In two heifer calves at $36 each. Joseph Mustard paid $90

for a roan cow, which was within 50 cents of the top of the sale, but J. W. Collins followed him pretty closely when he paid $85 for his milker. Wm. Seaney secured four heifers at $51.75

land a spotted cow at $57, to be taken

to the Tuberculosis hospital. Edward Batchelor found a Jersey which suited him $90.50 worth, this being the best

while G. W. Harkelroad was lucky enough to get both cow and calf for $74. Among the buyers of horses were:

Under the duress of ft world war we have learned the better way of doing many things, and this knowledge will prove of . value to us In the years to come. One of the most important things we have learned Is to see that our farm machinery and tools are in good shape before the busy season begins. When we should have been in the field we often had to wait to adjust our machines. Often we needed repairs and had to send to town for them. Sometimes our local dealer had to send to the factory for the repairs we needed. , This meant a long and disastrous delay.

The One Big Result of Observing Implement Repair Week Is Thai Farm Machines Are - Always in Good Shape When They Are Needed. era, manufacturers, railroad and express companies co-operated In overhauling all Implements and tools, seeing that they were adjusted, needed repairs on parts ordered and delivered on time. The experiment was so successful that it was repeated this year, the first week in March again being selected. A farm Implement repair week should be an annual event. It should be as religiously observed as the Fourth, of July or Christmas. All business Interests should cooperate with the farmers. During . that week . the thoughts, and efforts of the entire community should be concentrated upon , one thing putting every farm machine, every Implement, every tool in first class condition. When Implement Repair Week becomes established as an Amerlcnn ..institution, Jt will come so natural to us To fix up our tools that we will wonder why It took a great war to teach us the wisdom of doing this while we Tiave time of being sure we can depend upon our implements.

"Westville Community Sale. We are sure you haven't forgotten that the Community sale, held In the interest of the Friends church at New Westville, Ohio, was to take place on Wednesday, on which date the fate of the "little white dog" we told of was to be decided. The sale was advertised for last Saturday, you will also remember, but postponed on account of rain. Well, sir, we are going to tell you about the pet dog. first of all. We hadn't been inside the Westville church five minutes when we were surrounded by a bunch of young misses who were eager to make known what had happened to that little fellow, also what they had personally done to help raise the church debt. For that reason here's where a lot of little girls get their names in print. But first let me say that Miss Ruby Mattix, who took the dog home to keep till sale day, is now its proud and happy possessor. "It's tame," she said, "and wouldn't leave me now." Well, Miss Ruby and others sold popcorn, peanuts, etc.. and made $5 for the church and each was sure The Palladium would be glad to give them credit for their work. And why not? They did what they could, which some of us don't always do. The young ladies earning all this money were Ruby Mattix, Esther Stegal, Ruth Pryfogle, Gladys Ray, Vina Breese and Florence Laird. Now you know all about what most Interested at least a hundred school children. Westvilte's Busy Day. A community sale is a great institution. Everybody may chip in with whatever pleases them. We can't begin to tell you how many different things were sold, nor who contributed. At this writing we do not know how much money the church made; it has to be figured out as to percentages on big sales and what all the donated articles sold for, in the gross. But It was some sale and there was surely a crowd present all day long. The ladies of the Aid society hope to have realited a substantial amount, which will be made known at their meeting on March 26. They, have surely worked hard and donated liberally as Individuals and we sincerely hope they have made their effort a financial success. Among the articles on sale were implements, live stock, corn, oat3, seed potatoes, canned fruits and jellies, quilts, and needlework, straw In bales and hay in mows, chickens and rabbits and "things too numerous to mention." as they say in sales ads. Swain, Ramsey and Grable were the auctioneers, and J. .1.. . McWhlnney, clerk of the sale. - Did they all donate their service!? They certainly did.

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much 'alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and Is better. than themost expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Adv.
