GERMANS ORGANIZE TORPEDO FLOTILLA

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN GERMANY, July 27. Correspondenceof The Associated Press. The Germans have organized two flotillas of torpedo boats since the armistice and these constitute virtually all the warships left in active service in the Germany navy, according to information received here. One of these flotillas Is described in Mittschiffs, a German naval periodical which has reached the American headquarters, as the Iron Torpedo Boat Flotilla. It consists of twelve torpedo boats which, the periodical says, have been engaged In maintaining order on the western coast of Germany. U6ed For Police Work.

FRAZER FARM SALE AT ECONOMY BRINGS OUT MANY BUYERS

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN The scene presented at the farm sale of the Rev. Oliver M. Frazer at Economy, Friday, reminded one of a great family reunion, or of a villaf a home coming anniversary. Mr. Frazer has been serving the Friends church at Economy as pastor for the past ten years and is now to remove to a larger field. He reoently accepted a call from the church at

Smyrna, Chenango county, New York, which was proffered him on most liberal terms. The sale was attended by all the members of the congregation and by neighboring farmers and their families. The women and children far outnumbered the men and the shaded spots on the grounds reminded of picnio gatherings. The most coveted possessions were the kitchen cabinet and a handsome davenport, the first bringing $25 and the latter $32. An old time parlor organ brought $7 and a sixty dollar base burner brought but $7.50. Taken as a whole the goods offered brought fair prices. The offerings of stock were limited to three farm horses, five hogs, four cows and two calves. Clem Conway, of Mooreland, was the auctioneer and John Manninp. the banker at Economy, took Care of the cash and settlements. 21 Acre Home Place. The Frazer place has just been bettered by a fine new barn, complete to the lightning rods and fresh paint The eight-room house was built fifty years ago this fall, and the north side of the roof still retains the original, handshaved oak shingles. The farm of 21 acres was put up at auction, also four acres of growing corn. A Mr. Fleming bought the corn at $57 per acre and we understand that J. W. Beard was the highest bidder on the farm property, at $202.50 per acre. The Frazer family will remove to their new home in New York State within few days and will be greatly missed by a host of friends and neighbors, among whom they have lived for many years. Economy Elevator Report. . W. M. Kennedy, manager of the Anderson and Hollingsworth elevator at Economy, reports a capacity of 12.000 bushels and an intake to date of about 36.000 bushels. He estimates that fully three-fourths of the wheat to come his way has already been received. The lack of cars tied them up for a few days but four cars relieved the situation somewhat this week. "Wheat was a disappointment in this section," said Mr. Kennedy; "some of it running as low as 11 bushels to the acre. The highest yield I have learned of, ran 28 bushels, and was brought In by Frank Cain. They are paying from $2.11 for number 1 down to $1.90 for 53-pound grain at Economy."
