SNOW DOESN'T SPOIL PETRY SALE INTAKE

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The Thomas J. Petry farm sale on Thursday, while not large, wa3 among the most satisfactory of the season. The Petry farm ia located 1 miles south of Eldorado, on the Eaton pike, and It was the scene- of a considerable gathering of friends ; who came prepared to buy and a cleanup was quickly made, mostly for cash. Mr. Petry announced that ho had decided to quit fanning, hence the sale, of which his neighbors took due advantage by contributing $2,065 ire exchange for the goods on offer.

The live stock offering consisted of

3 farm horses, 7 head of cattle and 25 head of hogs. There were four good family cows on the bill, which

sold well. Chester Fowblo paid $106.50

for a Holstein mother and calf; Stanley Miller 'invested $100 . in a Shorthorn and William Waggoner went as high as $90. for his "red" selection. James Petry Bcored by buying two heifers, a Jersey at $62.50. and young Shorthorn at $30. ; The young Shorthorn bull cost W. A. McCluro $62.50, and a little red steer went to Charles Sellers at $35, closing out the stock In the cattle ring. A team of four-year-old bays seemed to be worth $305, according to Ervin Kimmel's reckoning, to which the auctioneer agreed. 4 Edward Bunger bought a 12-year-old gray at a bargain price.- - . ' . All present took a lively interest in the hogs and these brought good prices as to weight." Eight good Du-

roo stock hogs, weighing 150 pounds up, brought from $18.75 to $20.35; and Esta Klmmel , was the high bidder, the lot costing him $155.20. Chris Slotterbeck decided that rather than go home pigless, he would pay $134.40

for 12 small feeders, and did so. Wagons Bring Good Prices. Very fair prices were paid for two farm, wagons and the large assortment of implements. Alec Colter got one of the wagons at $85; the other fell to William Waldren, Sr., at $74. Charles Sellers took home the grain binder at an expense of $90.; Clarence Coppess paid $75 for a double disc; W. W. Bralser invested $38.50 in a mower and Pat Bunger picked up a riding plow' at $45. Other buyers of implements were: James Petry. "wheat drill, $36; William Waggoner, hay ladder,, $26; Irvin Kimmel, roller, $10.50; G. C. Pepper, harrow, $10; and Jacob Shaffer, breaking plow, $12. Two sets of dou

ble harness sold for a total of $171. The sale was set for 10 o'clock, but did not get into action until 11. Ira

Buhrman, of Eldorado, conducted the sale as auctioneer, with H. B. Sell as bookkeeper and cashier. On striking a balance Mr, Sell reported a net of $2,065, which was considered O. K. in view of the fact that no grain was included in the day's bill. The ladies of the Winiskl class of the United Brethren church of Eldorado served a most acceptable lunch, under the supervision of Mrs. Harriett Deem, president.

MORRIS EXPOUNDS: LABOR'S PLATFORM

An address in which the platform of the new labor party was thoroughly discussed,, was given by H. L. Morris, professor of political science at Earl ham, at the meeting ' of the' Central

Labor council in" Luken's Hall, Thurs

day night. . . : - Prof. Morris declared that the espionage act should be ' repealed,- now that the war is over; as he said, the application of the act-was diametrically opposed to freedom of speech and freedom of the press, which were the fundamental bases of our constitution. . ..-v. ... .V . . He alleged in his speech that the recent kidnapping of .U. S. counsular agent Jenkins in Mexico was engineered by capitalistic intersts to precipitate an invasion by , the United States. The plank in the new labor platform calling for the impeachment of Federal Judge A. B. Anderson was deemed inept by Morris and he believed it

should have been . omitted, as- it was personal, - and Inconsistent with' the true platfonn.s Vern Pentecost, president, of. the local council, who attended ' the Chicago convention, gave a report on the outlook of the new party, stating that "he did not believe a candidate would be put- out -next year," and that he believed. that "we can do more constructive work .in voting for the man and not the party, than in putting a seperate ticket in the field." The' project of the American Civic association in favor of a government bureau of information and clearing house as a means of helping towns and cities meet the congested housing facilities, was indorsed. The election of officers will be held at the next meeting, scheduled for Friday evening, Dec. 26.
