was the only buyer of sheep, and took the entire bunch of fine ewes at $16. Sale Totals $4,645. Some extra fine hay brought $30 at the Wickett sale Monday. Twenty-one tons in the mow sold at this price after some spirited bidding, Rome Shurley taking it all. The 26 acres of standing corn brought $53.50 per acre, or a total of $1,391, and the high bidder, C. J. Shute, took all of it. Colonel Tom Conniff auctioneered the sale, assisted by a young man named Gabriel, of Fountain City. Omar Coffman was clerk of the sale and Bob Weichman of the Dickinson Trust
company was cashier.
By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Had the temperature been fifteen degrees lower on Monday, it is very likely that prices for live stock at the Jacob Schneider sale would have ruled considerably higher. The Schneider place is located five miles 6outh of Milton, on the Connersvllle pike, and about 150 head of stock was on sale. It was blazing hot in the barn lot and to many the 6haded lawn was more tempting than bargains In hogs
and cattle. A lot of seasoned veter-1 ans, however, followed the auctioneers all uy and down along the line of pens, where the hogs were watered and sprinkled from time to time. This loyal bunch stood by until the last animal was sold. Aside from a few odds and ends In harness, etc., this was entirely a live stock sale. There was a lot of baled straw which sold at 27 cents to 30 cents, and some potatoes which were priced at $3 per bushel, but no implements were displayed. The sale was cried by Colonel William Flannagan and Fred Lake, of Connersvllle, from whence also hailed L. K. Tlngley, of the First National, who was cashier of the sale. Abe Simpkins acted as field clerk and the sale netted Mr. Schneider $4,522. Cattle Sale Prices. The cattle to show were a rather classy bunch, more especially the cows. E. C. Caldwell was the first buyer in the cattle ring, and his choice Jersey selection might well be considered a bargain at $142. This was the top dollar on milkers. . The next cow to go was a fine big Shorthorn, a 5-gallon cow when fresh, which cost Lewis Lefflngwell $120. George Watt, of Wayne county, secured the third cow, a Shorthorn, at
$80: and Joseph Pflum bid $123.50 for a Shorthorn mother and calf. Earl Archey, living on the Richard McMullen place, picked up a fine Shorthorn bull calf at $60 and also 22 head of bogs. Mr. McMullen, who was at the sale, now lives in Richmond. Included in the cattle offering were sixteen head of yearling steers and heifers, which sold at fair prices, considering recent market conditions. The demand for horses was not brisk, nor were there many on sale. A matched team of blacks, weight
2.800, brought $407.50, and looked well !
worth the money. Albert Luessner is the new owner. Seven other horses were 6old at various prices; Henry Snyder paying $115 for a 2-year old gelding, and C. E. Moffett $127 for a 3-year old bay mare. Hundred Hogg Sold There were 100 head of hogs on sale, including ten Big Type Poland China sows and fifteen fine spring gilts. Earl Archey paid $30 for 5 gilts, $23 for 7 head and $15.30 each for ten shoats. O. M. Mason got 2 sows and 7 little pigs for $85.50; James Murphy bought five sows at from $50 to $53 per head and three gilts at $34 each. Ten small shoats went to Will Telker at $16.40 per head. While the crowd was not as large as could be wished there were some persistent bidders. The big bargain of the sale was a yearling Shorthorn bull, registered and of good lineage. William A. Tucker was awarded this animal at $126, considerably under his original cost. Many ladies were present and a splendid lunch was served by the Ladies Aid. of the South Salem U. B. church and several men of the congregation were represented on the sales sheets.
CALL FOR GRIDIRON WILL BE MADE SOON
Although Coach B. J. Rock, of Richmond high school, will not be able to come to the city before Sept. 20, a call for football candidates may be made before that time. A light schedule will probably be made this fall, and the season will be in reality only a preliminary to get the men experienced for 1920. Only three men on the projected squad have had any experience, Emslie, Harding and Bennie Rost. Harding is perhaps the most experienced. He is expected to try for full-back, the
position he played with Woodward high school, in Cincinnati. Emslie may be used as a half back or an end, and Rost will probably try for quarterback or another backfleld position. Dollins, Loehr and Price are among the other men who will try out. There men are all athletes, and all have height, weight, and look like splendid football prospects, although green. Reid field, at Earlham, may be used by the team, although the playgrounds on Twenty-second street may be used in case the former field is in use by the Earlham squad.

After Vacation Peel Your Discolored Skin
RAILROAD MAN GIVES GOOD ADVICE "Several years ago I was under treatment of a stomach specialist for 5 months, 3 weeks of which were spent in a hospital. Another stomach specialist told me I had gall stones and that an operation was necessary. I did not want to have this. I lost 45 lbs. in weight. Talking with a brakeman one day he told me of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and since taking it I have gained 16 lbs. and am feeling fine. I am advising others to try it."
