ident of the American association, when asked
If he would accept the position left vacant by
the forced resignation of J. Ed Grillo on the
board Of arbitration of the national commission,

not particularly anxious to accept. He added
however, that if George Tebeau is willing he
will take the place. President O'Brien says
he does not wish to take the place, George
Tebeau, who until this week held the office
is one of his supporters, and he does not wish
to do anything which might hurt the Louisville
mans feelings. .....,.
The vacancy caused by Grillo's enforced re
tirement will be filled by other members Of
the board, and President O'Brien probably will
be selected. -r "a

Price of Draft Horses

Thirty-eight Percheron draft horses
from II. G. McMillan's stock farm at
Rock Rapids, Ia, brought sl6,575 at
the second annual sale at the sales
pavilion yesterday afternoon, bring
ing an average of S436 per animal.
The stock offered showed exception
ally good breeding, and bidding and
buying were spirited, and the pavilion
was filled with buyers from the adjoin-
Ing States and from points in the Mis-
sissippi valley. Twenty-Five mares
brought a total of SO, $50, an average of
$500; thirteen stations brought a total
OF $6,825, an average of 1925. These
prices put all other sale prices in the
shade for sales held inthis city. Dur
ing the past season, Mr.. Mcmillan has
disposed of more than $4,000 worth of
blooded horses.
The above is from the Sioux City
Tribune and the sale took place last
week. Prices are noted as best for
pure bred Percherons yet realized at
Sioux City sales. When the average
price of stations from one of the best
studs in the northwest is 1925 there
doesn't seem to be any warrant for
prices that have been charged Brown
county farmers in a number of in
stances for such stock.
