SI 0,325 BROUGHT TO COOK IN BIG LIVESTOCK SALE

Showers Interrupt Open-Air Event Markets Have no Effect on Milch Cattle. BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN The Floyd S. Cook farm sale, on Friday, ranks among the headliners of the present sale season. It was a big sale, and the lact that two or three showers fell during the session did not figure appreciably in the results. Cook had not anticipated a rainy day; he planned to display his Duroc treasures in the open and did. Three auction eers led the procession outside, but all came back in a down pour, after tne hogs were sold. Over fifty head of cattle were offered, all but a few, cows with calves at side. The first cow to go under the hammer was "cried" in the barn. Berry Moore gave $100 for the Holsteln mother and calf. He also got the next pair for $100. Then the skies cleared and the sale was con tlnued out of doors. Cow Brings $120. There were six fresh cows and a number of springers in the offering and the highest priced pair netted $120. Will Hartman being the buyer. Four of the fresh cows brought from $100 up and the balance satisfactory jrices. All things considered the cat tle brought every dollar that could be reasonably expected; in. the opinion of judges. The sale prices on good cows and heifers have not been materially affected by market fluctuations, for milk and butter show no tendency to decline, and both are likely to go higher. Among the buyers of cattle were: Jack Maher, whose first purchases, a young steer and a heifer, cost him $92. Mr. Maher picked up a few others during the afternoon. The most persistent bidder on young stuff, Henry Bullerdick, secured four steers at $35; two at $52; three at $30.50, and four heifer calves at $31 per head, tlome Shurley, Louck & Hill, Ollie Hodgin, Frank Hodgin and Ferrie King, were among the cattle and hog buyers on the grounds. v f ") Hogs In Demand. There were upwards of 100 hogs in the offering, fifty of which weighed close to 150 pounds, and, thirty head averaging 100 pounds. Walter Brag secured his choice of sows at $48, and the second sow and a pen of feeders for $184. Frank Hodgin picked up a pen of 11 feeders at $18.20 each, and one boar at $39.50. Ferrie King bid in 48 head of shoats at from $24 to $26.90, making a cleanup of four pens. Clarence Brown invested nearly $300 in porkers and Ollie Hodgin bought one pen at $24.50 each. Henry Bullerdick added six pigs to his load of cattle, the bow costing him $47. 80 Acres of Corn. Eighty acres of corn in the field were disposed of at a wide range in prices. The top, $45.50, was paid by Will Hartman, for 20 acres. Louis Hinshaw, the lowest buyer, secured 15 acres at a cost of $28.50; Fred Mitchell paid $32.50 for 15acres, while Jess9 Pearson paid $39.75 for ten acres, $39.50 for another ten and $32.50 for his third ten acres selection. The corn was Bold by fields, or in five acre patches. Of the 600 bushels of oats disposed of Omar Crowe took 200 at 69 cents, and Clarence Brown 400 at 68 M cents. Brown Is to move on the farm now to be vacated by Floyd Cook, Cook hav ing recently purchased a farm on the Arba pike. 6a le Totals $10,325. The high spots in the sale of Imple ments were touched by Clarence Brown, who paid $130 for a wheat drill and $139 for a grain binder, both in fine condition. Perry Hartley got a grain drill at $50; Frank Mitchell, a two-gang plow for $40, and Will Hart man paid exactly the same money for a two-row corn plow. Among the live stock sold was a team of well matched mules that look ed like $500 but which were captured by C. G. Bryant for $330. E. O. Burt secured a good team, of draft mares at $281. There were three auctioneers to rush the sale along but at that it last ed until 5 o'clock. Tom Connlff, Simon Weddle and Albert Hindman were the criers who induced the crowd to part with $10,325 in lawful money John J.

LEAGUE FOR GOOD ROADS PLANNED IN OHIO COUNTY

Preble Federation Interested in State Campaign Meeting is Held. EATON. Ohio, Sept. 20. Although efforts have been made to organize a Preble county council of the Ohio state good roads federation, failure so far has been met with, due, it is said, to lamentable lack of interest on the part of those who should be interested. In a meeting here this week for the purpose of futherlng interest in organ ization of the council, G. F. Rudisill, field secretary of the state good roads federation, was in attendance and explained the workings of the federation and the new state road laws. Fifteen persons were present at the meeting which was held at the Commercial club quarters. Eaton was the only point In the county represented, although persons from all sections of the county had been urged to come to the ..'meeting. Aulo'cal county council would prove a power, it is said, in obtaining federal and state aid in road building and maintenance, in addition to state aid now available. Local persons speaking in the meeting, declared the county had some good roads and some mighty poor ones, and. those that used the roads mostjvere loud in their condemnation of the county commissioners, who are doing their best with the funds available, for permitting the poor roads to remain in such condition. It was declared by one speaker that more than 3,000 automobiles were owned and operated in the county. It is said that Preble county is one of only three counties in the state that is without a county council of the state federation, of which each chairman is an advisory member. Whether or not further effort will be made to form a local county coun cil is not known at this time. Tobacco is Sold . After declining for a few days to entertain offers from buyers, the Preble County Tobacco Growers' associaion announces that price offers are again being considered and that some tobacco is now being sold. This follows a meeting here this week in which the members adjusted some Tsatters in which all were not in full accord with, according to officials. In the meeting here arrangements wer made for sale, through the association selling committee, of the crops of about a dozen members, the holdings approximating 40,000 pounds of tobacco, at 20 cents a pound. The remainder of the membership, it is said has no intention of selling at present prices. Officers and members of the association declare that the organization is now stronger and In better condi tion than at any time in the past and that more of a united effort is manifested than ever before. To have Pastorate Rev. A. Bailey announces he is leaving the pastorate of the United Brethren church at Falrhaven to accept the pastorate of the United Brethren church at Moline, 111. Rev. Bailey has been stationed at Fairhaven the last few years. His successor has not been named.

I). S. AID TO BEAT BOLSHEVIK!, SAYS RUSSIAN GENERAL (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. If the Russian anti-Bolshevist forces are supplied with sufficient militaryequipment they can strike a decisive blow at the Bolsheviki, General Edward C. Hermonius, chief of the Russian government supply commission in Paris, declared today after conferring with state department officials in an effort to se cure supplies from the United States. The Bolsheviki are becoming exhausted, he said, and if Petrograd were taken their morale would be broken. Gen. Udinitsh and his army, he added, are preparing for an attack on Petrograd and the movement in the Baltic region is assuming an imnortant character. Gen. Hermonius sueeested that if the British must! I evacuate Archangel, they might welt j do so through Petrograd after clearing i that city of the Bolshevists. j Advance is Begun. Lack of supplies, he assigned as the I chief reason for the recent retreat of j the all-Russian armies in Siberia but j said that conditions there had improved and another advance had begun, ; the success of which depends upon equipment available. General Hermonius asked that the United States furnish at least five per cent of its military supplies to Russia, as the British and t rencn govern- . - 1 1 C I 1 J . t 1. . t. . - .-. I per cent. He also asked that the United States join with France and Great Britain in aiding to rehabilitate Russia which is in dire nee,d of industrial and agricu!- j tural equipment. This movement, he added, would offer great opportunities for extension of trade. ASHVILLE WATER SUPPLY ALMOST AT BOTTOM fr.y Associated Press) ASHVILLE, N. C, Sept. 20.
