Ten Suggestions to Those Who Con-
template Holding an Auction Sale

/. First and foremost have your
sale we'll advertised by bills and no.
tees in the papers.
2. See that the bills are we'll dis
tributed. Seven to nine days notice
of a sale is better than longer.
8. Have your horses we'll groomed,
they will sell 40 per cent higher.
4. "A we'll matched team should be
offered for sale together.
5. If you have many cattle or
hogs they should be numbered. 1t
will save confusion and dispute
among buyers. A little paint will be
sufficient for marking.
6. Have machinery in conven
lent place that everyone may see ano
hear without too much walking.
Z. A few cents in repairs in ma
chinery often brings in dollars in re
turns.
8. Ten o'clock is better time tc
advertise for beginning a sale thar
later in the day.
9. A lunch with hot coffee always
pays.
10. If you want to be sure 'of
cr,wd. have the Independent print
vour bills and run the notice In the
naner one or two weeks. The price
will ha very reasonable.

II with certain proportion of genuine

These people found that It gave the
coffee richer. fuller favor, and that the
injurious effects which pure coffee has on
many were entirely overcome.
Since then chicory has been extensively
used by coffee merchants. and the prep
