OUR HORSE SALES.

Last week. in advertising our Horse
sale i made a few Introductory re-
n1erks which did not have any mater
1al connection with the horse business.
and Yet If we draw our conclusions
from the results attained In last Fri
DAYS sale, we must decide that in
troductory remarks" are not altogether
words and space thrown away. The
fact lis, we had more horses than we
wanted, more than we could handle in
a single day
A number of our horses were never
gotten into the sale ring. We sold
over $4,000 worth. Prices We're not
SO high as two weeks ago. Some of
our dealers made no money on their
horses. They must be bought lower in
the country. Farmers must not ex-
pect spring prices in the fall of the
year We had such a big run of
horses at the last sale that I shall exs
pect an unusual number of buyers for
our next sale, Sept. %. But am very
many horses. Many buyers and fewer
horses will make good selling for those
we have.
) A special feature of next weeks
sale will be the closing out Of Col. L.
b. Cremer's entire string of High Glass
Harness Horses from Hedrick. This
Will include ten head of High stepping
anu speed Horses. Ihey VIII be IN the
pink of condition and will constitute
whole show" in themselves. AS we
will do some special advertising of this
select band of horses, we will expect
an attendance of class of buyers for
high quality horses, such as will make
the sale on the 2Sth an unusually good
time and place for you to sell some
thing extra good. We will be at the
following places to buy horses for this

BUsINEssLIKE GOVERNMENT
City Of England That Is Run on a
Simple Yet Very Effective
System.

The government of Manchester is a
business. Its liabilities are about
$156,O00,000; it's assets are about
$l47,OOO,00e; and the deficiency, about
100000, represents the amount
which the ratepayers have to con-
tribute each year, writes Samuel Mer-
win, in Success Magazine. The fig
ures indicate that it is a big bust
ness. The management of this big
business is absolutely in the hands of
the city council acting through its
committees. AS l have said, the sys-
tenn Is simple, and the responsibility
cannot be evaded as it can be in a
muddled-up, complicated system like
that of New York or Chicago or New
ark. The people know what has to
be done, and they know who has to
do it. But. even at that, big figures
are confusing to the average mind.
And then, too, 1t is well to submit
the figures which city council pNb-
fishes to an unsympathetic eye. And
so, because the people of Manchester
propose to know what is done with
their money, they have in their serv-
ice two men whose business it is to
investigate and publish, at regular in
tervals, every tendency of the coun-
ell toward carelessness or extrava-
gance. Never for a moment are the
councillors permitted to forget whose
money it is that they are managing
with Such f1nent ease
These two men are known as "elec-
tive auditors" They are elected d.
rectly by the people, and the more
merciless their attacks on the coun-
Gil the better they please the people.
They are free from the slightest obli-
cation to the council They have &C.
cess to all facts and figures, for the
people of Manchester find it difficult
to understand why their government,
managed by their personal representa-
tives with their money, should not
work wholly in the light. These re-
ports are published weekly in tt 4
