LIBERTY CALF SALE SUCCESSFUL; FEEDERS GO FOR HIGH PRICES By WILLIAM R. SANBORN The members of the Union District Shorthorn Breeders' association are to be congratulated on their fine showing of cattle, and also on the prices realized at their first annual show and sale,, held at Liberty. Ind.. Friday. It was an auspicious occasion; an event , which promises to become historic, and most surely one that a lot of boys and girls, members of the district calf club, will remember with interest and pleasure all their days. The case of Miss Helen Fields of Everton, lnd., is an example. Her exhibit, "Mina A," dating from June. 1919, and bred by R. H. Spofford, of Ontario, Canada, sold for $1,000. This was the top price in the calf section, the part of the show of the greatest general interest and importance to a host of visitors, aside from parents and friends. Club Members and Prices. , The cattle show and sale was an allday affair. The "calves," now in the yearling class, were weighed in early in the forenoon, and great was the excitement among the youngsters. The weighing was to decide which of the feeders had made the greatest gain in weight, and this honor fell to Robert McKee, of Richmond, son of Mr. and Mrs. O. F. McKee, of 1110 South A street. His heifer, when delivered to him April 28, weighed 420 pounds, against 880 pounds on Friday, showing a net gain of 460 pounds. While this was the greatest gain scored, the entire class made a very creditable record as to weight put on. The first, second and third prizes were awarded to Stanley Markey, of Eaton, Ohio; Miss Helen Fields, of Everton, Ind., and Gordon Gardner, also of Eaton, O. (X B. Creek paid $500 for the prize animal; Marcus Field paid $1,000 for the winner of the second prize; and S. A. Ewing, of College Corner, invested $500 in "Rose G," winner of third honors. Roy Carson, of Kitchell, paid $600 for "Fortuna 9th," the McKee exhibit, which made the greatest gain in weight. Prices Average High The District Calf Club was financed by the Union County National bank and all of the animals came from a dozen noted Canadian herds and belong to "Scotch" families. Prices ranged quite high, considering all circumstances, this being the initial sale of the association making the calf club exhibit a part of their show and offering. In addition to those already noted, the prize winners and prizes realized were as follows: Gilbert L. Gardner, Eaton, $475; Hugh Markey, Eaton, $400; Madeline Fleish, Eaton, $475; Hadley Ballinger, Liberty, $450; Winston LaFuze, Liberty, $475; Mildred Little, Liberty, $600; William Black, College Corner, $500; Brouse D. Rinehart, Richmond, $500; Carl W. Creek, Liberty. $400. To Distribute Prize Money In addition to the money received at this tale, the donations for cash prizes will run pretty close to $300. Just how this money will be divided and the pro rata down the line, the committee was unable to say at the close of the show, but checks will be mailed the first, of the coming week. Sale Totals $16,900 The Shorthorn offerings totalled 48 head, these including the 13 fancy imported Scotch heifers fed and shown by the calf club. The entire sale netted $16,900 and the general average was $369, according to Charles D. Johnson, of the Union County National bank, who made the settlements. The calf club youngsters are to be congratulated. Their exhibits 'made an average of $375 per head. It was the ambition of the young folks to take their pets back home with thorn, and as all parents were free to bid there was pretty warm competition. at times, to keep outside bidders from carrying on the animals the children had set their hearts on keeping as a basis for a pure-bred herd. This indeed Is the primary object of such clubs, as was emphasized by the auctioneers. Covers Four Counties The auctioneers were Carey M. Jones, of Chicago; Scotty Milne, of Mt. Pleasant. Iowa, and J. .1. Yerian. of London, Ohio, all well known to the Shorthorn world.. Mr. Johnstonp. of the official Shorthorn magazine, was present and assisted Mr. Milne in the judging of the calf club exhibit. The "Union District" embraces Union, Wayne, Fayette and Preble counties, in which there are some of the best Shorthorn blood in this country and some very fine herds which are making records. $3,000 Return From Zzvisder Farm Sale The closing-out sale of Mrs. Conrad Zwissler and her son, Ray Zwissler, was held at the Zwisslcr farm and greenhouse property at the end of the cement road south of town on Friday afternoon.

BUSINESS METHOD TALKS Short Talks Prepared by Merchandising Dept. of The Richmond Palladium

WHAT IS TURN OVER? The average retail grocer turns his stock ten times a year on an average net profit to himself of 5 per cent. There are chain grocery stores in the country which average more than forty-five annual turn-overs. The individual must obtain an average profit of more than 25 per cent. A chain store can do business and make more money with a gross profit of 18 per cent. The exceptional growth of chain stores can be traced to better merchandising methods. It 13 the lack of real knowledge on the part of the small retailer which holds him back. He has not learned the value of stan JONES TARES CHARGE OF PROMOTION WORK, FRIENDS MOVEMENT Sylvester Jones, field secretary of the American Friends Board of Foreign Missions, has accepted the position of associate director of the Friends Forward Movement.

dardized merchandising. He does not realize that he should be ever alert to eliminate wastes, to reduce the cost of operation which will promote turnover and will result In goods at a closemargin with a larger resultant annual profit. The snowball of successful turn-over spells retail success. Start it going. Keep It going. Reduce your overhead, stop the extravagances. Common sense will tell you where they are in your business. You can answer the question of "What Is Turn-Over?" by saying that it is the key to success. Quick turnover means quick profits, fresh stocks, constant working capital. MARKET UNDISTURBED BY SETTLEMENT OF ANGLO-FRENCH LOAN NEW YORK, October 16. Payment of the Anglo-French $500,000,000 loan, the first and largest international war floatings without even temporary un settlement of money rates was the outstanding event of the week in the fl nancial markets. Next in point of importance was the strong investmont inquiry as evidenced by the quick subscription of the Sears-Robuck $50,000,000 note issue and the $25,000,000 offering of the Anaconda .Copper company. Rails Show Strength. Rails of the better class were the. strongest feature of the stock market, especially coalers, several of which, according to current rumors, are completing segregation plans along the lines adopted by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western road. Industrials of the steel and equip ment variety, also coppers textiles and leathers continued to mark time in the absence of definite announcement, but Dutch issues of the sarao class were occasionally heavy on sellings for home account. Technically llio market rested on a firmer foundation extensive coverings by shorts suggest ,ing that professional selling had assumed unwieldly proportions. Exchange on the' leading foreign centers, especially London and Paris, made further forfeiture of its recent recovery, for sharp reaction? in sterling bills being associated with the forthcoming walkout of British miners. CHICAGO, Oct. 16 Organized efu;ns oi larmris u, wiuiuum siaiu to agitate for higher prices have gone hand in hand this week with a big ascent in values. Compared with a week ago, wheat this morning was up 2IV2C to 23c, corn had gained 3 to 5c and oats 2 1-5 to 2 3-5c. In provisions there was a rise varying from 5S to 93c. Rapid developments indicating that the producers' struggle announced as aiming to force the wheat market up to $5.00 a bushel was an energetic one had an immediate strengthening effect, despite assertions of former Director Barnes that war prices on everything were becoming things of the past. His position was widely assailed on the ground that grain was being sold below cost. Reports Cause Fluctuations Subsequently word of serious adverse crop conditions in India counted as a further bullish influence. At this stage the United States government report on farm reserves led to a sharp setback in prices, but was more than offset afterward by action of President Wilson starting an investigation of charges from Governor Allen of Kansas that the wheat market had been artificially depressed and that there was urgent need of an embargo on imports of wheat from Canada. Export buying of corn gave inde1 pendent strength to corn and oats, Big clearances of lard and meats for Europe lifted provisions.
