$13,000 REALIZED FROM THE STOCK AT HODGIN SALE Cattle Prices Low Considering Quality Market Flurries Affect Live Stock. By WILLIAM R. SANBORN If you were fortunate enough to have been present at the Ollle Hodgin farm sale on Tuesday, you met up with a large and friendly gathering of "Just folks," people from Ohio and Indiana, who looked and acted bo much alike that it was Impossible to tell a Hoosler from a Buckeye. The Hodgin sale was essentiality a live stock offering. No odds and ends were sold from a wagon, nor was the display of farm Implements large. These consisted almost entirely of wheat drills that sold at from $5 to $37. Sam Clumt, Charles Freed and A. B. Barton secured the most of the drills, while Sam Raid, Jr., determined to bid in a storm buggy If it should even cost him $16, which It did, A few farm tools and a cream sepa rator, went to various others at modest prices. What the Cattle Brought Of the 86 head of cattle bought up several were cows with calves at side and the first pair to show, red short horns, was started at $50 and knocked down to Otto Slifer at $80. The next In the ring was a fine Jersey milker, with calf, on which the first bid was $75, and the last $100, by John F. Mayer, of Richmond. The third pair sold at $89, at which point Harry Gilbert took a fancy to a red mother and progeny and in five minutes was out $86. Virgil Harter next scored on a pair of Shorthorns at $79, followed by Henry Bullerdick who cheerfully invested $77.50 for a whlteface mother and calf. The next two pairs on offer went to Virgil Harter at $90 and at $62. At this point Rome Shurley became restless and bid In a pair of Jerseys at $91 and a black cow and calf at $87. Uncle Jim Harrlgan got the last of the twin offerings for $50. Following the sale of the cows with calves came that of the "best Jerseys I have ever owned," according to Mr. Hodgin. Mr. R. D. Teaford was the lucky buyer at $103, after some spirited bidding. Everett Dardy of Eaton, paid $78.60 for a six year old Jersey, and also bought a much younger one at $75. A full blood, but unregistered, coming 2-year-old Shorthorn male was next introduced, followed by a 4-month-old registered Holstein male, and both of these caught the eye of John F. Mayer ot a cost of $76.50 for the Shorthorn and an even $50 for the little Holstein. This calf is as pretty as a picture and at a Holstein breeder's Bale would have started at $100 up. Sold Them In Bunches. A bunch of ten Shorthorn heifers comprised the next entry and at this point Mr. Hodgin announced that he had two well watered pastures and that buyers of feeders could leave them on good grass to' fatten at $1.50 per head per month, if desired. The sale then proceeded and the ten were bid in by Albert Harter at $69 per head. Mr. Harter also picked up the next lot, three Shorthorn grade cows at $76 each. The next sale was that of eight heifers to Henry Bullerdick at $58, which was followed by the purchase of a "12-quart" Jersey milker for $S9 by Charles Freed, and of a fine Holstein heifer at $67 V. King. Many Hogs on Sale. Among the 265 head of hogs put up were 120 spring shoats weighing from 80 to 100 pounds, also a number of rows with pigs. The hogs were mostly Durocs, mixed with a few Big Type Polands, and while no outside prices were obtained, owing to recent flurlies in the hog markets, taken as a whole the hog sale may be considered quite satisfactory. As to that tho same may be said of the prices paid for cattle, which would also have brought a little more money had the sale been held a few days earlier. Among the hogs sold was a 825pound stag which was picked up for $106 by Rome Shurley. J. R. Throckmorton was the first buyer in the hog ring, his young Duroc male costing him $27. Harry Gilbert bid in six extra heavy Big Type Poland sows at $70.25 each and considered the lot a bargain. Curt Baumgardner paid $78 for a Duroc sow and 7 pigs, while a neighbor pot one with S little fellows at only $62. It took some time to dispose of 265 head, though a number were sold in pen lots, and the bidding wa3 spirited for the choicer offerings. Totals Over $13,0C0. About 250 bushels of corn in crib at the Henry Murray farm was sold to Charles Dagler at $1.99 and $2 in two What does your coffee cost you More money There's a reasonin fact there are many reasons for changing from coffee to Instant Postum at grocers

Would Fight High Living Cost with Increased Production Citing Notable Historic Failures to Beat the Law of Supply and Demand by Governmental Decree, Andrew Jay Frame Points Out What He Declares to be the Only Sane Solution of the Present World Problem

Editor's Note: Delving back Into the troublous reigns of the Emperors Diocletian and Julian for support of his argument that "be It enacted" theories never made two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, Andrew Jay Frame cites the failure of those two Roman rulers to tight the "high cost of living" by royal decree. In the following article Mr. Frame sets forth his theory that increased production is the only real remedy for the situation which the world Is facing today. By ANDREW JAY FRAME, President of the Waukeesha (Wis.) National Bank The high cost ot living seems to be the paramount issue throughout the world today. To our mind the real cause is sidetracked beoause the fallacious millenlum builders are filling the air with "blessed balsams" that appeal to the masses to cure insidious disease that if not checked will end only in eating out our vitals and In slowing up human progress everywhere. In the United States the Government is constantly being Importuned to "regulate" everything. So-called experts and commissions galore are appointed and millions of the taxpay ers' money are apropriated, to find th cause. With what results? To satfsfy public fallacious clamor, such reports generally slander legitimate interests and, in fact, contribute to higher costs of living through indorsing shorter work hours, increased pay, encourage ment of inefficiency, and Ignoring the great underlying cause, to-wlt: In creased production. In other words, ignoring the immutable law of "sup ply and demand." Common-sense thinkers know that capital and labor must . go hand in hand "or human progress halts. Profit eering is confined to the few. Govern ment reports indicated a few years ago that out of some 317,000 corpora tions 40 per cent, paid no income tax and the average profits of the whole On capitals employed were but 4.3 per cent. On the other hand no intelligent man can honestly deny that labor is better boused, better clothed, and better fed in the United States than the world's history records. Therefore, let us reason together a little over our largely mental hysteria. An old Kaffir proverb reads: "He who will not profit by the experience of the past gets knowledge when trou ble overtakes him." Surely we are overtaken with troubles now mostly imaginary. Some Historic Examples. The Bible says: "The poor ye have always with you." The parable of the ten talents has not lost its force. The 3,000 proverbs of Solomon gave small encouragement to the slacker and the spendthrift. Listen : "He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand, but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. Seest thou a man diligent in business, he shall stand before Kings," &c. Permit us to cite a few facts on Governmental attempts to regulate prices, &c. From the pages of "The Common People of Ancient Rome," by Frank F. Abbott, we quote briefly from Emperor Diocletian's remarkable and crude edicts: "For if the raging avarice which, without regard for mankind, increases and develops by leaps and bounds, inasmuch as there is only seen a mad desire without control to pay no heed to the needs of the many it seems good to us, who are the fathers of the people, that justice in-

who is of so hardened a heart and so untouched by a feeling for humanity that he can be unaware that in the sale of wares which are exchanged In the market an exorbitant tendency in prices ha3 spread to such an extent that the unbridled desire of plundering is held In check neither by abundance nor by seasons of plenty." Trofessor Abbott comments as follows : "If we did not know this was found on tablets sixteen centuries old, we might think we were reading a newspaper diatribe against cold storage plants or the beef trust." The edict further says: "It is our pleasure, therefore, that those prices lots. Thirty-five acres of growing corn was sold in two lots, 17 acres in one field going to Cale Reinheimer at $57 per acre, and 18 acres In the second field to John Diggs at $51. The sale netted a shade over $13,000, which was considered a satisfactory total. The 125 head of eheep advertised were evidently disposed of at private sale and were not included, nor as the 1 ton truck put up. owing: to the lateness of the closing hour. Col. Tom Coniff. Simon Weddle and Clem Conoway were the auctioneers, and Clarence E. Jefferis and Harry Gilbert, clerk and cashier of the sale. New Paris Ladies' Aid. The Ladies' Aid of the New Paris M. E. church served a bountiful lunch. They reported the baking of 200 pies, donations of 25 gallons of baked beans, and a stock of 800 buns, with cold claw, ice cream, bananas, etc., in plenty. At the close of the 6ale a lot of baked beans, buns and pies were sold at auction. More than $100 was realized. The officers of the Aid and members present were: Mrs. Anna Slifer, president; Mrs. Emma Mitchell, treasurer, and Mrs. Ella Harris, secretary. These were assisted In serving by Mesdames Cora Engle, Ada McClure, Allie White, Nettie WTiltaker, Gertrude Kirkpatrick, Anna Bowen, Martha Cook, Delia Benson, Huldah Smith, Jennie Kessler, Rebecah Louck, Ida Zeek and Luella Harris. Mrs. Edward Bragg and Mrs. L. D. Bragg were also present. Miss Mabel Benson and Miss Carrie Whitaker also assisted, while a number of the young girls of the church sold tickets, cream cones, etc. FARM SALE CALENDAR Aug. 21 Wm. Wilcoxen, R. R.

which the subjoined written summary specifies be held in observance throughout all our domain, that all may know that ' license to go above the same has been cut off. It is our pleasure that if any man shall have boldly come into conflict with this formal statute, he shall put his life in peril." . Buyers and holders of commodities were also subject to the same penalties. A few extracts from Diocletian's list of maximum prices follow: 301 A. D. Wheat, per bushel $0.33.6 Rye, per bushel 43 Barley, per bushel 74.5 Oats, per bushel. .22.5 Beef, per pound 04.9 Pork, per pound . .07.3 Mutton, per pound 04.9 Fish, per pound 07.3 Butter, per pound 09.8 Cheese, per pound."." 07.3 Eggs, per dozen 05 Wages. Unskilled, per day $0.15 Carpenters and masons, per day 30 Elementary teacher, per pupil, per month 21.6 Higher, grades, per pupil, per month .32.6 College professor, per pupil, per month 87 Lawyer, for presenting case 1.09 Lawyer, for finishing case. 4.35 Law cases doubtless were not Jamdyce vs. Jarndyce. Transportation by canal, twelve to fifteen times above our normal rates now. What was the result? Briefly, "for the veriest trifles much blood was shed." The scarcity grew much more, un til after the death of many persons the law was repealed from mere necessity. Thus came to an end this early ef fort to reduce the "high cost of living." Economic Law Supreme. Professor Abbott says Emperor Jul ian made a similar attempt sixty years later, and he "like Diocletian, had to acknowledge his Inability to cope with economic law." It would seem that social unrest balks not at maximum payrolls of say, $3 to $10 per day now as against 30 cents per day in A. D. 301. Hon. Andrew D. White, former President of Cornell University, former Minister to Germany and Russia, vividly portrays a lamentable failure of "Tho Law of the Maximum," in France in 1793, notwithstanding the guillotine was freely used to compel compliance with the edict. Mr. White says: "There are limitations to the powers of Government and of peoples that inhere in the constitution of things, and that neither despotisms nor democracies can overcome." He doubtless referred specifically to regulation of prices, &c. Permit us to add this testimony of T. R. Malthus from his "Essay on Population as It Affects the Future Improvement of Society," (1798): Malthus declares "The absolute impossibility, from the fixed laws of our nature, that the pressure of want can ever completely be removed from the lower classes of society." As space forbids, in proof of our contention, I will quote the substance of Malthus's philosophical conclusions. Listen: "Suppose, that by a subscription of the rich, the 18 pence a day men earn now, was made 5 shillings, it might be imagined that they would then be able to live comfortably and have a piece of meat every day. But this would be a very false conclusion. The transfer of 3 shil'llngs and 6 pence a day to every laborer would not in crease the quantity of meat in the country. There is not at present enough for all to have a decent share. What would then be the consequence? The competition among the buyers in the market cf meat would rapidly raise the price from 6 or 7 pence to 3 shillings a pound." Including abnormal demands for export abroad that condition clearly has resulted here and now with the result that the masses suffer most. Again: Supposing that the same i quantity of work is done as before, j it may at first appear strange, but I believe it is true, that I cannot by means of money enable a poor man to live much better than he did before. If I turn up a piece of agricultural land, and give him the produce, I then benefit him, and all the members of so ciety," &c. May we not well ask all thoughtful men if these simple illustrations do cot point out the true diagnosis of the high cost of living as against the ponderous piffle for shorter work hours that the powers that be are spreading broadcast throughout the land, breeding greater and greater distress and discontent? Do not these simple illustrations prove that increased production is the only sane remedy? Present Conditions. Permit us to brief conditions since the war began, to the end that the true causes for the high cost of living may be fairly understood. Let us call pre-war prices normal In the United States in 1914. Since then the productive energies of 30,000,000 to 50,000,000 of men, also vast manufacturing plants have been turned into destructive instead of constructive employments. As some 10,000,000 strong men and 12,000,000 tons of shipping have been ruthlessly destroyed; as the remaining ships at command have been largely used in transporting armies, munitions, &., across the seas; as war-torn Europe, that could not produce much before to sustain life, has produced less food and other necessaries than prevailed before 1914; as the Russian supplies, which formerly helped to feed Europe, were confiscated under Lenlne and Trotzky, and that great source of supply practically cut off; as shortage of shipping has greatly curtailed the neutral world from helping supply the war zone ; as starving Europe cries aloud for food, &c, from the United States; as since the armistice was signed the demobilizing and change back to normal have tested the world's energies, therefore up to the present time little progress has actually been made to attain a reproduction approximating former conditions. If so, is it not clear that abnormal ' demands for an underproduction of ; world food and other necessaries has forced prices above normal the world ; over? J If farmers are forced to an eight-

compelled to hoe his own corn or starve.

We must be patient. To aggravate. the situation the walking delegate and the sentimentalist have demanded higher pay for labor, which would not be so bad if it were not coupled with an insane demand for shorter hours of work, thus decreasing production, when increased production Is the only panacea worth a fig to cure the world's famine. This simple but effective remedy seems not to be understood by many good men. Capital and Labor. Popular clamor gloats over the camouflaged fact that the trusts, the middlemen, &c, are the real culprits. We cahndt deny the charge in a small way comparatively to the vast ramifications of commerce, but the Government takes the great profiteers by the nape of the neck and makes them disgorge 80 per cent, on income taxes. No honest man objects to just prosecution of clearly defined wrongs. It seems a crime to continue further to dope the patient with such fallacies,

Spirits of War; Autocracy; Are Still Alive, Says Edward Ott

"The world war did not begin in 1914; it did not end In 1918. Instead, the spirit of war began when Cain slew Abel and it is not yet dead," said Edward Amherst Ott in a lecture on "Victory," Tuesday evening before a crowded tent. Ott does not merely enumerate national crimes and cures. He takes great facts that the ordinary thinker had perhaps entirely overlooked and illuminates them in language which can not fail to carry Its own truth. Ott Is a live Bpeaker with a live message and his audience in the "big tent" Tuesday evening got that message. "We may have just won a military victory in Europe, but an ultimate victory over many other vices is not vet ours. I do not Know wnen mis world will be safe for democracy, but when democracy will be perfected will depend a good deal upon our earnest - in France. "War ia not over the Chicago riots proved that. The Civil war is not yet over. We have at last built a monument to Lincoln, of course, but even that binds east and west instead of binding the north and south. No, war and crime is not over. You may whip the Kaiser, but that does not mean that you have a more democratic city to live in. French Refuse Suffrage. "The very French women who did so much to help win the war have just been refused the right to vote or to have any share in the French government. You see they yet have only a military victory." "We have schools in which there is no democracy in the organization. The teachers do not even get a referendum on naming the text books. They are chosen instead by a group of politicians. We have churches in which one or two men choose the minister; one or two men run the church. "We have yet to burn the paper crowns and tin swords of our fraternity brotherhoods and write new rituals based on Americanism and democracy. Look at your rituals! Where did you get them? Where did you get that language? Would Roosevelt or any 'other great student of our ideals have written such stuff? I think it's time we changed them to American fraternities!" "Not one American university, or library or publisher not a single one has ever taken the trouble to classify the works of democracy. They had plenty of them from other countries; none of them had ever attempted to specialize on American literature. So far, we who have been searching have Ott Aphorisms "It doesn't take eighteen months for a civilian made Into a soldier to go back to savagery. That's why I want the power of ruling to rest on the shoulders of the million for they never want to go to war." "You may have a good Chamber of Commerce, or Commercial Club, but it will starve if there aren't enough 'self starters' in it'i "The onlv wav to destroy America is to kill 110,000,000 people, and if ten are left they will start all over again." "Democracy other people; preme ruler." is built on autocracy in faith one in su"There are a lot of un-Americans born in America, and a lot of Americans are born in other countries and they come over here right away, too, if they can." "Our shock troops did well. All the rest is yet to be accomplished. Wa have to continue to fight the poison of j autocracy." "We have with us yet one man j churches. No! I don't mean the : preacher I mean the man who hires the preacher." "Do you ever see American pictures depicting American scenes of democracy on the walls of our school rooms? No, we even have a vision of the kingly in our Sunday School stories." 'The lime-light of our attention was i for four years focused on our army of I democracy.

as they will soon bring universal distress, and labor will be the chief

sufferer. All history says so. No sane man can afford to be unjust to labor. Capital and labor are both necessary to human progress, and just in proportion as one suffers the other Buffers also. "Be it enacted" theories never made two blades of grass grow where one grew before. But labor does. Longer and not shorter hours a starving world must have. Increased production is the only true remedy for the high cost of living, and also the only true principle for added comforts in the world of progress. Will we cease lamenting and boldly strive for facts by curing the disease through increased production? We see no other alchemy except by patient, earnest work, and nature will do the rest. Or will we blindly destroy prosperity In a vicious oircle of rising prices caused by continually advancing wages? Even labor leaders concede this. The Times Annalist. equality, and fraternity. I wish we found only twenty words like liberty, could add suffrage, but it is not yet 6urs," he added. "We had the chance to do for democracy great things. Then the dispatches said: 'The president of France welcomed the president of America in a royal manner,' and the next morning his apartments were described as 'princely.' and the thing we had just been trying to kill with a million men was set up again royalty, autocracy!" He said Americans were not interested in the Prince of Wales, and his princely habits, and what he wore, and questioned what he would wear if he were left in an America city with his own way to make. "An Englishman Americans would like to see is Lloyd-George, the coal m,ner whQ went tQ parliam'ent said "How do you expect young men to love America when the political offices are filled with the men they are?" he asked.

Mrs. Harlowe Lindley, president ofarv1 Slin1 wIt, wm HnotrtT1 'a

the Women's Franchise leagua, received a letter from Horace Ellis, a special representative of the National Republican Committee. Wednesday morning urging that the Richmond league greet Grace Wilbur Trout, who comes to the Chautauqua platform, at 2:30 Thursday afternoon, with appre ciation, as her work for the cause ha3 J been unbounded. The letter said: "Grace Wilbur Trout's name is a benediction to our civilization. It is appropriate that I say to you that her appearance in your city is a notable event. I have been from Alabama to Michigan with her on the lecture plat' form, and have the highest respect for her splendid powers to instruct. Whatever she has to say to the men and women of Richmond, will be of importance." Owing to the delay of the Bostonia Sextette company, which will not arrive in the city until 3:40, Mrs. Trout will appear first in the afternoon, and immediately following her address, an informal reception and drive for members for the local franchise league will be given. This league has furnished $75 to the state league this year and new members are greatly desired to insure its success during the coming year. It is hoped that the informal drive Thursday afternoon, will do away with the necessity of a house to house canvass. J ENCOUNTERS DENIED SALONIKI, Aug. 20.

A. in Russia, was detailed with the Russian army for a long trip to the interior, and who described the sacrifices of the Russian peasant, was the speaker of the afternoon at the Chautauqua Tuesday. According to St. John the Russian peasant had nothing of the joy of patriotism to buy his spirits and kindle the fidelity which was found in the hearts of the soldiers of the other allies. "I do not feel that the Russians were traitors to the allies," said he. "They were swept away by the promise of better thibgs, and certainly they had little -to tempt them to continue their alliance. They did not know what good Constantinople would do them, and they don't know yet." Traveling conditions and the acute suffering of the Russian soldiers were described by St. John.
