WILCOXEN'S DUROCS AND RICK'S POUNDS r OPEN HOG SALE BALL

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN The summer Bale season of registered liv stock may now bcs declared officially opened in Wayne county While a few hog and cattle 6ales were held in Indiana late in July, none were held in this vicinity until Aug. 3, when William Wilcoxen, living 2V& miles northeast of Webster, opened with his summer sale of Durocs, of which 45 head went under the hammer. The out of town contingent was not large, but there was a fair showing of local fanciers and farmers, some of whom picked up real bargains in "good red hogs." Bruce Pullen First Buyer, The first hog to show at the Wilcoxen sale was listed fifth in the catalogue. This fall gilt was awarded Bruce Pullen, of Liberty, Ind., at $59, and the sale was on. Her litter mate appealed to F. A. Lauher, of Brockton, 111., as being the best of the two, and he gave $100 for her. Funk and Harter captured No. 2 in the catalogue, Orioness 17th, at $95, also a summer yearling gilt at $59. D. R. Funk 6aid he considered each of them a bargain. Clarence Palmer, of Wayne, paid $145 for a spring yearling gilt, dating from February, 1919. Top of Sale $217.50. The prize sow of the sale, Joe Orion Lady 2d, left for Isabell, Illinois, on Wednesday, the buyer, E. L. Spotts, paying $217.50 for her. She was four years old last April and brought the high dollar. Edgar E. Phillips, Walton, Indiana, superintendent of the swine department at the Indiana State fair, paid $100 for a yearling gilt and $95 for Hoosier Lady, a 2 year old, and both were consigned to the Co-operative Duroc Farm, Lowell, Ind. William Quigley, of Webster, invested $60 in a gilt, and Ollie Hodgin, W. A. Flatley and other local farmers settled for a number of head at close of sale. Served a Choice Lunch. A choice lunch was served by the Ladies' Aid of the Webster M. E. church before the sale opened at 1 o'clock. Colonel Bragg, of Winchester; B. C. Hall of Vermillion; R. V. McGrady, and Simon Weddle of Richmond, officiated on the auction block and in the sales ring, and C. L. Pitts, of Williamsburg, representing W. A. Lewis, officiated as clerk. A number of women watched the sale with interest and checked up the prices in their catalogues. BIG TYPE POLAND SALE There was also a sale of Big Type Poland hogs on Tuesday, this being held on the O. W. Ricks farm, one mile north of New Lisbon, on the Dublin pike. The sale was held by J. M. Painter and O. W. Ricks, and 55 head were sold. Giant Buster, the Clansman and Long Wonder were represented in the sale ring. The top price paid was brought by a 1916 sow which was bid up to $445 by C. E. Jones, of Shelbyville. A few choice offerings sold well but, in the main, prices realized were below expectation. A very fair crowd was present but the number of breeders was limited, and much of the young stuff was picked up by the farmers at bargain figures. The sale was cried by Everett Button, of Knightstown, and Delno Driesbach of Muncle, and totaled $4,300, as stated by Mr. Ricks. "This is a pretty busy season for ruralists and a time when it is hard to attract large gatherings at any kind of a sale. Much wheat remains to be threshed and oats are still In shock; in fact, all oats are not yet. cut." as vf farmer puts it. Keeps Hair In Curl On Hot or Windy Days Here's a hair curling secret that is rdecidedly "worth while." Just apply a little liquid silmerine before doing up the hair, using a clean tooth brush for the purpose, drawing this down the hair from crown to tip. In three hours you will have as beautiful curls and waves as you could wish for. The waviness will look so natural no one will guess it was artificially acquired. And it will last ever eo long, regardless of heat, wind' or dampness. You can obtain liquid silmerine at any drug store and a few ounces Vill last a long time. It Is neither sti y nor greasy and is pleasant to use. It is doubly useful because of also serving as a beneficial dressing, keeping the hair soft, 6ilky and lustrous. Advertisement.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn v I Edgar E. Phillips, of Walton, Ind., who is superintendent of the swine department of the state fair, attended the Wilcoxen Duroc sale on Tuesday. Mr. Phillips says that those wishing to exhibit hogs have little time to lose in securing pens, as these are rapidly being taken and a great hog show is promised this fall. Some of the farmers' wives in the Webster district were saved the trouble and cost of providing the threshers and neighbors who came to take a hand in the festivities of the day, with a big dinner. The Ladies' Aid of Webster were on hand with supplies, just as at farm sales, and every one patronized them, thus affording the ladies of the home a day of visiting and recreation. Wheat Has Wild Opening December wheat opened at a wide and lower range at Chicago on Wednesday, $2.16 to $2.21 against a closing of $2.29 on Tuesday. This affected the local elevators in this section, the prices varying accordingly. The elevator men are following market fluctuations, as never before. For instance elevators at Kitchell, Boston, Witt and Fountain City began buying early at $2.10 and on receipt of news of the weak opening cut their prices to $2.03, this subject to change from hour to hour. Are Receiving Cars The College Corner milling company reports one car in for flour, on Wednesday, also that the other two elevators at that point had each received one car for . wheat. Boston, Kitchell, Witt, Greensfork and Fountain City, each reported an empty set in this forenoon, and all of these points were prepared to take In a few loads today. Greensfork opened the day by paying $2.10 for a jag of wheat, and College Corner grain men, who paid $2.10 Tuesday, and had counted on paying $2.15 this morning if market held, dropped to $2.05 at the low point of the morning. Farmers Inclined to Store Joseph Poos, of the Poos elevator at Eaton, has been paying the top prices from day to day. He said Wednesday that he had planned to pay $2.20 in view of the advance on Tuesday, but had modified his views on the opening break. Mr. Poos says wheat is only dribbling in and that farmers are more inclined than ever to store grain, in hopes of a better market. "In view of conditions it is no wonder country grain men are all at sea," said he. The Theatres MURRETTE. All of the thrills that lurk In the pages of "The Mystery of the Yellow Room" have been caught for the screen by Emil Chautard and will be shown at the Murrette Theatre, Wednesday and Thursday.

Of course the principal victim is a beautiful young woman trust a French plot for that! The detectives are led astray by countless false clues the bloodstains, the foot-prints. Just when ell their sleuthing seems most futile the mystery is cleared by a- boy reporter. We were told that the picture was not taken in France, but the French atmosphere was perfect as a result of the background and actors. The best work was done by Lorin Baker as the dauntless cub reporter, Ethel Grey Terry as the lovely heroine in distress, and Edmund Tilton as the mysterious unknown quantity. MURRAY. There is a far-seeing depth of wisdom in women that men seldom comprehend. This rarely appreciated feminine faculty Is clearly shown in "Bab's Candidate," a Vitigraph special production, starring Corinne Griffith, which will be shown for the last time at the Murray theater on Wednesday. Barbara Marvin undertook to make her lover over. He had the bad habit of talking too much. On the slightest provocation he would orate until yawns were rife among his listeners. Otherwise he was brilliant and lovable. The lover ran for the legislature, where his powers of oratory would have full play but where, unfortunately, his habit of saying too much would ultimately ruin him. As he was running without opposition, his chances were good. But Barbara found an opposition candidate, the village pauper, and elected him. The developments that followed make the most novel situation of the play. Kate Corbaley has provided Frank Keenan with another splendid story. She will be remembered as the author of "Gates of Brass" and "The False Code." Her newest play is "Smoldering Embers," announced for the Murray Theatre as the feature attraction nextThursday.
