10NE "CRIER" BRINGS IN $5,750 AT AUCTION NEAR WILLIAMSBURG

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. A total of 186 head of livestock went under the hammer at the Charles A. Williams sale on Thursday. This would Indicate that Mr. Williams Is a farmer and devotes his efforts to meat production, but appearances are often deceitful. The fact is that Mr. Williams has a large hardware business which demands most of his time, at Marion, Ind. William Towell has been running the farm for him. and now that John Durbin has leased the property, a sale was staged for a cleanup. x But farmer or no farmer, 186 head of livestock, any kind of livestock, except chickens and rabbits, means a large Investment at present prices, also it costs something to feed that kind of a bunch. Mr. Durbin, the new lessee, formerly occupied the J. F. Miller farm, located east of Richmond, and has been well, known in Wayne county as a practical farmer for many years. As he will be able to use many items and animals which were put up at auction, he was a liberal buyer at the sale. . The Williams property lies 2Ms miles west of Williamsburg, and is known as the Martin Cranor homestead. There was a large display of implements on the grounds; a raft of them, in fact. And harness; well, there was a full line of work harness, nd collars and bridles galore. Much of the offering was new, especially as to lines and halters. No outside prices were realized for anything In the line of leather goods, because there was plenty to go round and the display, in the harness house showed that to all visitors. A set of good breeching harness was sold to Charles Goodson for $30, and Edward Johnson1 bid in a set of strap harness for $24. Large Display of Livestock According to the salebill there were 138 head of hogs, thirty-eight of sheep, six, of cattle and four of horses, a total of 186 head. These, with the harness and implements, comprised the offering, as neithfv corn, oats nor hay was put up. One hundred balls of rye straw sold to Edward Starr and Homer Ellis at 47c and 48c per bale. The four mares put. up weighed about 1,300 pounds each and sold at from $120 to $180. No pnirs were offered, nor was there any mules on the place. Accdrding to the salebill. but three head of yearling steers and three of yearling heifers were to be sold, but it was later decided to add a cow and calf, which were sold separately. The cow went at $56 and the calf at $20, the calf going to Dick Conway. The remainder of the cattle went to Charles Goodson. C. G. Oler and Edward Johnson,, at various prices. . , As to sheep, these were quickly disposed of. John Durbin got. twelve ewes and thirteen lambs at $20 apiece for the mothers; he also peeured a pen of fourteen ewes at $14 per head. Albert Jarrett paid $90 for six ewes .and a neighbor got seven wethers at iflO per head. Come to. think of it, lhe thirteen lambs arrived after copy for the salesbl'll went to the printers, so there were "200 head of stock" sold. Investors In Hoqs As has been stated, there were 138 head of hogs, ten of which wi re brood sows, and fifteen bred gilts, all doubleimmuned. There were also two fine registered Hampshire males, the rest being feeders. Clyde Oler paid $55 for a sow and his brother, John, went

up to $53 for his selection. John Durbin was the heaviest hog. buyer of the day, his purchases covering half of the sows and gilts put up, also a lot of ahoa. The shoats were widely distributed, prices ranging from $16.50 to $18.50 per head, in the main. Cashier Took in $5,750 When Will Lewis, who was cashier of the sale, balanced the sales sheets he discovered that the sale had netted $5,750, a rather tidy sum to be garnered on a cheerful, sunny day. ".- Clarence Pitts assisted 'Mr. Lewis as clerk of the sale." Albert Htndman, of Hagerstown, was the only auctioneer on the grounds, although It Is the regular thing to have two or more "criers' at sales of this magnitude. Mr. Hindman seemed to fill the bill without any assistance on this occasion. , The women of the Flower Committee of the United Brethren church of Sugar Grove served a generous lunch, at the modest price of 25 cents. Evidently these good women never heard of the high cost of living, but however they missed hearing that sad news is beyond our ken. They nqt only piled the plates with sandwiches, baked beans, pie, etc., but handed you a big tlncup of coffee as a bonus. The women who served were: Mrs. Verna Wilson, president; Mrs. Carrie Lamb, secretary and treasurer; Mrs. Maude Durbin, Mrs. Anna Thornburg, Mrs. Edyth Strickler, Mrs. Katy Lee Howard, Mrs. Ethel J. Oler, Mrs. Cora Touts, Mrs. Addie Strickler, Mrs. Amanda Oler, and Mrs. Ethel Swain. At their cut-rate prices there was naturally a large demand for their goods at this sale, even if but very few men could find room for a second helping.

Farmers Are Entitled

Public Libraru .ffft

Privileges ft. By P. G. HOLDEN. AGRICULTURE is our greatest industry the industry upon

i wnicn an aumnn enueavor,

even life Itself, depends. For this reason we should do all In our power to add to the comfort, the pleasures and the welfare of those who live and toll on the farms. They are entitled to as many advantages as those who reside in the ehies enjoy. V The rural mail service, the telephone, the automobile have done much to bring the city to the farm. But there are other conveniences which should be in the reach of the people in the country districts. One of these Is the public library. It Is not easy for a farmer's family, living several miles from a town or city, to have access to the books provided at public expense. It Is often impossible for them to go to town to borrow a book or to return one and under present postal rates the use of the parcel post for this purpose Is so high as to be almost prohibitive. Mr. A. L. Spencer of Greenwood, New York, who not only is a farmer and a rural mall carrier, but Is also a member of the American Library Association and chairman of the Rural Libraries Commission of the New York Library Association, has been endeavoring to work out a plan to make the parcel post a medium of transportation between the farm home and the town library. Mr. Spencer points out that therural delivery service can handle a great many more parcels than it is now taking care of, and the expense would not be any greater. Each rural delivery route costs the government a fixed amount each year, regardless of the amount of mail It handles. For this reason the earnings of the service will be increased In proportion as the' number of local parcels are handled. Mr. Spencer thinks a practical plan can be adopted that will make the parcel post a much-needed connecting link between the library and the farm home or rural ichool, and suggests that the proper authorities establish n flat rate on library books within each local zone. The rate of postage should be as low as possible. The idea has been Indorsed by the National Grange, the Farmers' Congress and other agricultural and business organizations. The boys and girls on the farm are entitled to the best possible opportunity to make use of our public libraries. Let us give Mr. Spencer's Idea careful consideration. It appears to be practical. At least it is an important step in the working out of a plan that will be practical.

Rheumatism Physician Believes a genuine Remedy for the Disease Has Been Found. Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy, now sold by all good druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other remedies costing many times as much. Rheuma acts with speed; it brings in a few days the relief you have prayed for. It antagonizes the poisons that cause agony and pain in the joints and muscles and quickly the torturing soreness completely disappeares. Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: "I have made a most careful investigation of the formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheumatism. I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rheumatism, and altogether different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed." Dr. M. C. Lyons. This certainly should give any rheumatic sufferer confidence to try this harmless and inexpensive remedy. If you have rheumatism in any form don't delay. Try Rheuma today.' Your druggist will supply you and return your money If It does not give you Quick and joyful relief. Adv., ,

PRIVATE HOMES SAFE FROM BOOZE HUNTERS

INDIANAPOLIS. March 21. Police have no right, to invade a private home in search for intoxicating liquor held in violation of the prohibition law without first obtaining a search warrant for the place, according to a decision given , by -Walter Pritchard, judge of the city court. .... The decision was given when Judge Pritchard sustained the motion filed in city court, last .Monday, byJames E. Deery, attorney for Joseph Klemenc, who asked that two bottlea of whiskey," taken by. the police from Klemenc'Si home at the time they arrested him on .a charge of violating the prohibition law, be returned to the defendant. . Mr. Deery's motion questioned the right of police officers to seize intoxicating liquor without first obtaining a search warrant. In ordering the whiskey returned to the defendant, Judge Pritchard held that inasmuch as the liquor found at the Klemenc home was within the

amount permitted under the prohibition law, the police had no right to seize it. He says in the ruling that if more liquor than the amount permitted under the law was found, a "different question would . be presented.'' His ruling, however, on the search warrant phase of the question, is confined entirely to a home, and says nothing about automobiles, grips, soft drink establishments or other places which the police might have occasion to search for evidence of liquor violation? .

POLICE FARING WELL DURING OPEN SEASON ON WHISKEY RUNNERS

With Richmond's first year , of , prohibition, almost ended, the number of bootleggers caught is increasing, while the ; number . of drunks - has shown a decrease. , --- Twenty-Beven persons were arrested for violating the liquor laws during January, February, and the first twenty days of March, against 36 such arrests for the whole year of 1918. But there were only 42 drunks against 99 the first three months last year. . The Dollce sav that the hidden supply held back when the great "drouth" began, has been . exhausted, and the bringing of liquor across the state line is now practically the only source. This pracince they are making every effort to stamp out. There were 173 drunks rounded up during the first prohibition year, until March 20, against 230 during the year from April 1, 1917 to April 1, 1918. Sixty arrests were made during - the year for violations of the liquor law, other than drunks, 27 of which have occurred during the last three months. Returned Soldiers Urged To Report to Red Cross m i hi i "i. ' All returned service men, whether or not they are signed up with the local Red Cross home service department, are urgently requested to stop at the office in Red Cross headquarters and give Miss Flora Mae Green, secretary of the home service department, the date of their discharge. This particular request has nothing to do with insurance or details of the home service department, It is desired that a complete report of the discharge dates of all soldiers, sailors and marines be secured from each county in the country. Wounded Veteran of Chateau Thierry and Argonne'ome Dan Casey, who has seen service with the First Division at Chateau Thierry, Soissons and Argonne forest, arrived home Thursday with his honorable discharge. Casey was gassed twice and wounded once. He was in France since last May. "It was the happiest day of my life

when stepped off the train at Rich mond," said Casey.

not unlike politicians of a later day.!

or Instance he went to the Democrats and called their attention to the fact that as the governor of Wyoming, a Republican, would certainly veto the bill, it would be just as 'well for the Democrats to have the credit of sponsoring what would- be considered a liberal measure. ; Then he went to the Republicans and stressed the Democratic opposition that he had met and threw the high-light upon the advantage It would be to the Republican party to have the credit for furthering this liberal measure which the Democrats would inevitably defeat. So convinced were the politicians on

each side that their conferees on the

other side were going to vote in the negative, that Republicans and Democrats lined up in a strong affirmation of the measure much to the astonishment and consternation of most of them. Those who had given only a lip service to the suffrage bill, then, however, contented themselves with the thought that the Republican governor, Campbell, who had not favored the bill, would certainly veto it. Governor Campbell was a man with a-sense of justice. The more he studied the; situation, the more lr became convinced of the justice of the measure. Presently his signature was affixed and woman suffrage became law in Wyoming. Women Helped on Juries . The same cry went up again by and by when the men wanted .the -women to serve on juries. Led by Chief Justice Howe and Associate Justice Kinsman, the men who had the territory's larger interests .at heart begged the women to lend their counsel in jury service and promised that every courtesy and protection should be extended to all women who would rally to the need of the hour. And the women served on the juries and have continued to, serve on Wyoming juries from that day to this. Mrs. Stephen Boyd was the first woman in the world to be summoned for jury service, and Mrs. Sarah W. Pease served on the first woman grand "jury in Wyoming. Mrs. Esther Morris was the first woman justice of the peace and Mrs. Atkinson was the first woman baliff. There was an abortive effort to re

peal the suffrage law by the incoming legislature of 1871, but already the reform had entrenched itself in popular sentiment and no repealing of it was possible. , When, statehood swung In the balance on the issue, in 1890, Wyoming . men sent word to Washington that they would stay out

a hundred years rather than come In

without their women.- They figured that it ought not to take more than a hundred years for the rest of the country to catch up. it was a good liberal margin. It's fifty years since Wyoming was won and in exactly half or the states of the union the women over twenty-one have been empowered to vote for the next president, v -

Immediately he became the bill's sponsor. In his way of nursing it, he seems to have been
