$7,800 COUNTED AT COMMONS OFFERING

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. There was a sale on what is known as the Elmer Commons farm, 1 mile east of New Paris, on Friday, at which the visitors spent $7,800. before the auctioneers quit for the day. The seller, W. E. Null, announced that he had decided to quit farming, end invited his friends to come and help themselves, and they were present in large numbers, In spite of tho snowdrifts. The offering included 5 horses, 24 head of cattle and a bunch of hogs. There were 10 cows on sale and the top, $108, was paid for' a Jersey. A few others sold around the $100 price, including grade Holsteins and Durhams. The best farm team sold for $280, the next pair bringing $190. Some big type Poland sows with late broods sold up to $72, others ranging down to $60. Richard Danley paid tho high dollar in the pig arena. Frank 'Osborne, who will farm the acreage in future, was among the heaviest buyers. He paid $10 per acre for the growing wheat, 28 acres in all. He to cut and thresh the whole acreage, and divide the grain on a share basis with the landowner. Seed Oats Sell High. A feature of. the cale was a new Preble county record as to the price of seed oats, at least in some time. The 150 bushels of Big-4 pats sold at $1.12, the top of tho market in many a day, according to the auctioneers. About 1,800 bushels of corn in crib was divided between several buyers, at an average of $1.50 per bushel, a small lot going a shade higher. Ten tons of shredded fodder averaged $11 uer ton. No hay wos sold. The display of wagons and Implements was quite large, and some household gear, not to be needed in the new Null home in New Paris, brought good prices. There were two cars on the bill, a 1916 Ford and a 1919 Maxwell, which sold for $400. Raymond Swigart bpying both. Mr.Null Btated that the salo was verv satisfactory, and that his friend. Ollie Hodgin, "was the largest buyer J on the ground. . Ton Conniff and O. C. Schwing conducted the sale, and J. A. Day and W. P. Mills kept the records. NATIONS FINALLY (Continued from Page One) and the provisions of the international labor organization. The document comprises 15 parts with numerous annexes. It provided that as soon as it had been ratified by Germany and three of the principal allied and associated powers a process verbal of the deposit of ratifications should be drawn up, from the date of which the treaty would come into force as between the powers which had ratified it. The treaty will .enter into force for each other power at the date of the deposit of its ratification. In October last a sufficient number of powers had ratified the treaty to comply with the requirements for its effectiveness. Because of the sinking of the interned German warships by their officers and crews at Scapa flow, however, and the failure of the Germans to live up to some of the armistice terms, the allies on Nov. 1 demanded that before the treaty was put into effect Germany should sign a pro tocol providing for reparation for he destruction of the waTships and guaranteeing the carrying out of the armistice terms. Since that time the question of the protocol and particularly the reparation provision in it have been under negotiation between the allied supreme council apd the German gov ernment. It was only within the past fortnight that the situation began to clear, an adjustment of the tonnage demands upon Germany being reached. With the taking effect of the treaty a number of commissions created by it spring into existence; the league of nations will begin to function by the calling of the first meeting of its council and preparations will be hastened for the taking of plebiscites in the areas where the population is to have the opportunity of determining whether their territories shall separate from Germany and take on another allegi ance. Of the commissions now beginning their work probably the most important is the reparations commission which will do a great amount of the labor incident to the execution of the treaty, its special duty being to regulate Germany's payment of indemnification during the next thirty years. Important also will be the commissions dealing with the Sarre valley, Rhennish territories, Upper Silesia, Teschen and Schleswig. Boundary commissions which are to fix upon the spot the new boundaries of Germany with Belgium, the Sarre basin, Poland, and Czecho Slovakia are to be appointed within 15 days.

The Farm and The Farmei BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN

FEDERAL FARM LOANS. In order to check speculative increases in land values, Federal farm loan banks have been instructed not to compete with private loaning agencies, where the latter may offer larger loans than farm bank appraisers believe to be justified. To those holding high priced lands, selling at $250 to $400 per acre, the amount now placed by the government of $100 per acre as the loan limit, may appear unreasonable, and such will doubtless be able to place a larger sum through other agencies. But the. annual report of the farm loan board sets forth its desire to amply protect the banks and its bond buyers, and to discourage the "booming" of land values through numerous speculative transfers, so evident throughout the central west for more than a year. The latest ruling further provides that where a farm has sold at a considerably enhanced price within a year, the loan value shall be figured on the last previous sale. Since the creation of the system the farm banks have loaned $33,134,000 on lands, and of thi3 sum more than one-half was loaned in the year ending November 30, 1919. NEW CATTLE PRICE RECORD. Sixty head of Hereford cattle brought $264,700 in the auction ring at a breeders' sale held by Mousel Brothers at Cambridge, Nebraska on January 6. The 25 bulls sold averaged $4,888 and the 35 cows brought an average of $4,071. The favorite bull of the collection, Superior Mischief, was bid in by J. P. Sullivan, of Wray, Colo., at $22,000 arid John McConnell, of Holbrook, Neb., paid $8,000 for his choice of the cows; This sale is believed to have made a new world's record for number and average price. The sale was held in a packed pavilion, during which many stood outside in a snow storm. Over 700 were banquet-

ed in the evening, following the sale. J Cattle, hogs, sheep, grain and impleNebraska is well to the front in all j ments, at 10 o'clock, live stock nroduction. and holds some' Thursday, January 15.

The show will be given under the usual auspices, that of the Lafayette Poultry club, and the new policy of free shows to encourage the raising of more and better poultry, has been made possible through donations by club members, liberality of the merchants and the fees received from a large list of en tries. Free admission means a large attendance and the better advertise ment of the exhibits. A number of handsome silver premium cups have j been donated by Lafayette business men. ALFALFA AT 9,000 FEET Farmers in the mountain states have been asking if alfalfa can be grown at very high altitudes, and the answer is that it can be grown successfully up to 9,000 feet, soil and climate being NAVAL HEROES NAMED (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 Names of eight enlisted men of the navy who have been commended by Secretary Daniels for gallantry displayed in saving human life were announced today.

Colorado authorities give 9,000 feet as the limit at which alfalfa may be grown. SPOTTED POLAND RECORDS What is said to be a record price for "Spotted" Poland China hogs was paid at the Wallace and Baugh sale at Lafayette, on January 7. Daugherty and Shoemaker, living near Lafayette, paid $7,100 for "Queen Miss", in a contention with Carl Hildebrand, of Eurrows.

for a total of $20,735. Wednesday, January 14. William Royer, 2 miles, north of New Madison, Ohio, live stock, grain, implements, etc., at 10 o'clock.
