The Axes & Housh Sale.

Notwithstanding the almost impass-
ible roads the big sale held by Axes &
Housh on the Keller farm two miles
south of Leon Monday, was a corking
good one and much of the success of the
sale was due to the work of the auction
eer, D. A. McMains, of Derby, who by
the way is one of the best auctioneers
who ever mounted platform. The sale
was not commenced until II o'clock and
in three hours he sold over $4,000 worth
OF property, and what was predicted by
some would be failure turned out to be
highly satisfactory sale. Dave Nc
Mains is certainly an artist as an auo-
tioneer, and during the past two years
his business in Decatur county has been
steadily growing until now he is in
great demand, for the people who are
posted know that he can get as much
or more money out of sale than any
auctioneer in southern Iowa. Then too
Dave is a mighty good fellow who treats
everybody right and we have yet to hear
Of the first man who ever employed him
to find any fault with his work. 1t pays
to secure the services Of a first-class
auctioneer whether your sale is large
one or small one, and in either kind Of
sale Dave McNains seems to fill the
bill.

A Correction.

We notice Prof. Eli Hutchinson, SUPER
intendent of schools in Decatur county,
reported to the January session of the
board of supervisors that he had issued
certificates as follows: First class 49,;
second class 100; third class 101; making
total of 227 teachers in Decatur coun-
ty, only 26 of whom have first class GER
titicates. 1t will be observed that we
have not enough teachers holding first
class certificates to supply the high
schools Of the county. Is it possible
that our high schools are to a large de-
gree being taught by those whose
scholarship does not enable them to pro-
cure first class certificates.-Lam
Patriot.
In conversation with county superin-
tendent Hutchinson we learn that the
editor Of the Patriot is laboring under a
misrepresentation. First class certifi-
Gates are issued for term of two wears
and in addition to the 26 certificates
which he issued during 1904 there were
u others in force, and have been
issued this year, making the total num-
Der OF first class certificates in force at
this time 81, in addition to 8 state GER
tificates held by Decatur county teach
ers. Second class certificates are
issued for short term and frequently
two certificates are issued to the same
person within one year, and at this
time there are s. of this grade in force.
The same is true Of the third grade GER
tifcates, as they are issued for as short
a term as one month and in no case for
more than seven months, and superin-
tendent Hutchinson has issued as high
as three third-class certificates to the
same person during one year. Although
he issued 1O1 third-grade certificates
during 1904, at this time there are only
40 third-srade certificates in force in
this county, which is not such a bad
showing for our teachers as the Pat
riots article would indicate.

Hon. Robert A. Green, representative
in the legislature from Madison county,
was in Leon last Friday attending the
Decatur county Merchants Association
meeting. Mr.. Green is q merchant at
Peru, and is greatly interested in
legislation for the benefit Of the grocers
and other merchants. While in Leon
Mr.. Green recovered a fine horse which
he had given up for lost. 1t seems that
a couple of months ago one Of his horses
got loose and started away. He adver-
tised it and hunted all over Madison,
Warren and Clarke counties for it, and
finally concluded that the animal had
been stolen. Great was his surprise
when he happened to notice an estray
notice posted at the court house des-
cribing his horse, and it was found that
the animal had been taken up as an es-
tray by r.. Il. Mclaughlin, at his farm
west of Decatur City, the next day after
it left home. The horse had travelled
over seventy miles in single night,
starting out ahead of the storm and
kept going right along.

An observing man who saw several
farmers bring in fine horses last Friday,
the day the Leon Horse Co. held their
monthly sale, and tie them some place
away from the sale pavilion and then
took advantage of the foreign buyers
who were in the city attending the
sale to make private sale of their
horses and avoid paying the small sum
charged for commission for selling
horses in the ring, remarked that it
certainly was not treating the men who
are spending good money to work up
these sales right. In the first place
the Horse Co. is put to big expense
every sale. They spend large sums in
advertising, in paying the auctioneer,
and in getting good class of foreign
buyers to attend their sales. Every
thing connected with the sale costs
money, and when farmer brings in a
horse and sells him on that day he is
simply taking advantage Of the company
and using them to sell his horse with
out paying cent. In some towns
where horse sales are held an ordin-
ance has been passed prohibiting the
sale of horses on the street the day of
the sale without securing a license.
We do not believe it would be necessary
to go to such an extreme here, and
think that our farmers when the matter
is presented in the proper light are
liberal enough to see that even if they
do make private sale, if they sell to
some of the buyers who come here at
the solicitation of the Horse Co. they
should pay the company the small COM
mission charged for the sale Of a horse.

Not for many winters has there been
as little frost in the ground as this
spring Notwithstanding the weather has
been the coolest ever known. 1t is said
that at no time has there been more
than six to eight inches of frost, instead
of about three feet as is usually the case.
This is accounted for from the fact
that the ground froze up dry last fall
and that it has been covered all winter
with heavy snow. The big snow has all
disappeared the past week and strange
to say it did not raise any of the
streams as lit went off SO slowly that
nearly all the water soaked into the
ground.
