OLD FASHIONED SALE
GOOD CROWD MONDAY
BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN The Carl Am merman and Elizabeth Cook general farm sale, held on the Cook farm north of Jacksonburg. on Monday, -was one of the old fashioned kind. It was an all-day affair, the auctioneers getting busy on the "trinkets" shortly after 10 o'clock. The crowd was estimated at about 600 and it was evident from the start that many farmers had come, not only intent on buying but also prepared to Pay. Many women and children were in the gathering, neighbors and friends of the parties in Interest, many coming Trom various parts of the county. Such a gathering on a pleasant summer day reminds of a picnic occasion. It constitutes a neighborhood reunion, with an al fresco lunch service on the lawn and in the family car3.
"Farm sales did not concern me years ago. as they now do," said one matron, the mother of an interesting j brood. "We farm women are now almost as greatly interested in the markets as are our husbands. We all like to know how things are selling in the country at farm sales, and so we pack up and go along with our husbands. It is a rest and a change and we usually have a good time." To all of which the farmer smilingly assented. Wm. Thos. Steers, cashier of the bank at Green's Fork, made the settlements and claims that It was a very fair and satisfactory sale. He says the crowd displayed considerable Interest and that there was some pep In the biding, particularly as to hogs, horses and cattle, old corn and corn in the field. He reports a total .intake of $3,700, much of which was cash. The S0O bushels of corn in the crib sold to various buyers at an average of 63 cents, while around 30 acres of standing corn were divided among
three bidders at an average of $2 per acre. Live Stock Prices There were four horses, a bunch of cows and quite a collection of hogs on offer. No extra fancy stock was put up. Just average farm animals, and prices realized were in accordance with present demand and market conditions. The top horse sold for $125; another bought an even $100. One cow, with a small calf at side, hrmisht S74 50. Thi was considered
a good price for a milker of her age.j
As is the rule at such sales, mere was considerable interest shown in the hogs, and some spirited bidding. The hog3 were goon ones, and a few brood sows had newly farrowed litters at foot. These sold a3 high as $43 for top. while- a few other brood sows ranged at from $2S to $34. Twenty-five tons of good, bright timothy, slightly mixed with alsike. were sold in the mow to several buyers. This bay went at bargain prices, one farmer explaining that it would be a long haul to Richmond, and also that freight rates were high to a shipping market and handling costly as to time and haulage. Buyers paid from $12.50 to $13.25, in the mow. A Hungry and Liberal Crowd The Ladies' Aid of the church at Jacksonburg provided a generoui lunch and were freely patronized. Just how many lunches were served and how much money taken in was not given out. but the ladies had at least two busy hours. The auctioneers of the day, Hindman and Weddle, kept things moving and made a fairly early cleanup, after which the visiti.ij; farmers collected their purchases anil wended their homeward way.
Start Tobacco Cutting on Preble County Farms Tobacco cutting is well started this week In Preble county, according to reports Tuesday morning. Frank
Blackford of Eldorado says that several of his neighbors have started and he will do so himself as soon as the weather seems setled. He expects cutting to be in full progress by next week. A few fanners around West Alexandria are cutting according to Frank Gazell, who says, however, that most will not start for another week Gratis township farmers also are well into harvest, especially in the bottom
land. Gazell stated Tuesday that there is still danger of damage from frost on account of the lateness of the treason, but that with no frost,, prospects for the tobacco crop this year are good. Much improvement in the last two weeks is due to the late rains.
FAMOUS CONTINENTAL PLAYWRIGHT ASKS AID FOR STARVING RUSSHNS
INJURED LAD BETTER; DRIVER NOT LOCATED Police were endeavoring to locate the driver of the automobile that struck little Edward Hamilton at the corner of Main and Twentieth street Monday afternoon. t
Conflicting reports were given the officers by witnesses of the accident. First reports that came in to headquarters were that tho car was a Reo roadster. This was later changed by others who stated it was Davis or Overland. The number that was given the police by a witness was found to have been issued to a man by the name of Clark Fletcher, rural route six, at Shelbyville. It was for a Ford touring car. May Be Ohio Car Information from another source led the police to believe that the car was an Ohio car and investigation is to be extended there, it is said. Edward Hamilton, who was hit by the machine, is improving, according to attendants at the hospital where he was taken. He suffered a broken leg and numerous cuts and bruises. Witnesses of the accident state that the machine was traveling at a high rate of speed and put on more speed after striking the boy.

determines largely what we do and
how we do it. "Both the immediate and ultimate pim of education must be considered
Emerson said, 'The purpose of educa
tion is the same as that of life itself.' The purpose of education must be to
minister to the intellectual and the
spiritual. Nothing less will satisfy
as the ultimate aim. I believe the aim is nothing else than the highest development of the individual so that he can give most to the world. "Then there is the problem of finance. There is not money enough available to do the work necessary. The machinery has been outgrown. The public dollar will not go any farther than the private dolar. It is impossible to build school houses at the oM cost. Cost of Education. ' Do we spend too much for education? All public education in the United Stales costs about one billion each year. Before the war that was about the total of the national budget, but since the war the national budget has grown to four billion. Is one billion too much to spend in a great nation like America? An inkling of the answer can 'be learned if we compare with the cost of other things. "We expend each year, one and ono-
lion each year for jewelry. Jewelry
is not altogether a luxury, but a largo part of it can be fairly classified as such. I suppose the gasoline burned in the United States on any one Sunday would run the schools of the country for six months. "It's just a question of how important is it that the whole body of citizenry should have at least an elementary education. Price Is no factor in education. We must have it no matter what the cost. True economy means spending on the highest plane for things worth most. If education is one of these, then every cent spent wisely and justly is economy. Teachers' Duty. "As teachers we have the obligation to see that the public gets its dollar's worth from each spent. We must also use more publicity to acquaint the public with the needs." Prof. Graff spoke of administrative problems such as 4he matter of local control of schools, and the problem of co-ordinating and standardizing public school work, so that each community would not find it necessary to experiment at great cost. He spoke in favor
of a uniform standard which wouldn't
be dogmatic.
Zenos E. Scott, supentendent of the
Louisville, Ky., public schools delivered the last 6f three addresses following the address by Prof. Graff. His subject was "Sources of Power."
T think that teachers, next to fath
ers and mothers, have the greatest
.need for ideals. I like the scripture,
'I shall lift up mine eyes unto the hills ( from which comes my strength. We too should have those hills from which to obtain strength. As teachers and as people we should have mountains of strength from which to draw. Oftimes we consider life as a level existence. Life consists of high hills, peaks and valleys. Kinds of Education. "Physical education for our students is one way of creating a source of power for them. Human machinery must be kept smooth and easy running. Lets keep our muscles young. Don't use arnica, use more exercise. "Those of us who are teachers should have a broad fund of knowledge. If I could establish one thing in normal schools it would be. the requirement that before a student could graduate he must be a public speaker.
lake life as a joy rather than as
a burden. That is one of the best
ways to gain sources of power." The way an individual uses his leisure time is indicative of that in
dividual's character, according to
Prof. E. U. Graff, who again addressed
Prof. Graff pointed out the manner
in which people of this day were de
pendent upon commercialized amuse
ments for a leisure time activity. While not condemning commercialized amusements, Prof. Graff deplored the lack of individuals being able to properly pass their time without prepared fun-making. "The use of education concerns the quality of one's life not the length of years, but understanding and appreciation. Education n5t only informs the mind, but liberates it. That person is happiest who thinks the most interesting thoughts." Quoting Emerson, he said: "In some sort the end of life is that the man should take up the universe into himself self or. out of that quarry leave nothing unpresented. Yonder mountain-must migrate into his mind." "Education must bring us a sense of true values not only a knowledge of facts, but of their worth. It must give us a true philosophy of life and an attitude of service to realize life's ideal values."
