About Public Sales.

We want to say something
right here about public sales.
Many people who are going to
haze a sale seem to give no at
tention to the arrangement of
the property to be sold, and this
is very important. If household
goods are included in the sale,
they should be set in rows wide
apart, so that the prospective
purchasers can get around the
different articles from all sides.
If a lot of hogs are to be sold
they should be put into pens big
enough to let a big crowd see
them. Too often they are put
into a small pen. When this is
done, if the crowd at the sale is
a big one, not nearly all OF the
people can get up to the pen to
see the hogs.
If chickens are to be sold, they
should be caught the night be-
fore and put into coops, and the
number marked on the coops.
The writer was out to a sale a
short time ago where there were
several coops of chickens, but the
owner did not know how many
were in each coop, and it took a
lot Of valuable time to find out.
Implements should be placed
in a long line, with plenty OF
room between the articles. Toe
often they are placed in a bunch.
If cattle, horses and mules are
to be sold, and the day is a bad
one, and the ground sloppy, it is
a good plan, if you haven't a dry
place for the people to stand, to
take a scraper and clean of a
place in the stock lot.
A little attention to these mat
tiers makes a much better sale,
and the people are apt to make
better bidders if they have some
comfort while attending the sale
and viewing the property to be
sold.
Another thing: If the sale is
to be time sale, notify the clerk
as soon as he arrives who are
likely to be the ones who will
give notes, and who they will
want to give as surety, so the
clerk can investigate a little.
All these things will help you,
and the work can be done quick
er and more satisfactorily.

Our Farmer Friends

There is a sort of grip epidemic
running through the country.
Bud Holcomb, L. P. Fry and
Will Gleason, all farmers west of
this city, shipped fat cattle to
Kansas City last week. They
shipped from Chetopa.
We want every one of our
farmer friends to read the spe-
cial offer on the inside of this
paper. The book mentioned,
Making Corn Pay" is worth
all we ask for the entire combi-
nation. Come to this Office and
see the book.
The sale at John Bowser's on
Wednesday of last week was well
attended, and property brought
good prices. The day was ideal
for sale, and as we said, the
crowd was a big one. Will Har-
tley was the auctioneer, and Chas.
L. Smith the clerk.
Our farmer friends who are
having public sales are getting
good prices for their stuff, and it
is remarkable how few notes are
given. We attended a sale last
week where only two notes were
given, most of the buyers pre-
ferring to pay cash and take the
discount offered.
The ]. G. Darnell sale, held on
Tuesday, was attended by a tre-
mendously big crowd, and the
property sold well. The Ladies'
Aid of Blue Mound served lunch,
and it kept the ladies busy. W.
T. Hartley was the auctioneer
and Chas. L. Smith clerked the
sale. =
Dick Fancher sold a calf last
week for $36.40. Nothing strange
about that, of course, but when
you consider that the calf was
born May IS, 1913, and was there
fore hardly a yearling you will
perhaps realize that 5000 was a
nice price, and that it pays to
raise good stock. The animal
was a Short-Horn, and was sold
to McAboy>& Co.
The sale at Joe Cousatte's
place, four and half miles north
east of Peoria on Tuesday of last
week was we'll attended, the
crowd running well up into the
hundreds, and the property sold
for more than was expected. Will
Hartley was the auctioneer, and
Chas. L. Smith was the clerk.
The sale was for cash in hand,
and the property sold well.
w. B. Davies was in to see US
Saturday and he told US he is
full feeding Sc head of coming
cattle. He is feed
ing silage, corn chop and cotton
seed meal, and he says the cattle
are putting on flesh very fast.
He also says that his corn crop
has paid for his silo, and then
some, Notwithstanding the fact
that the drouth of last season cut
the corn crop badly. He figures
that by making silage of the crop
he is. getting the feed value of
almost a full crop of corn.

Around and About.

The GioeonS, Danu OI IIaVer
ing men, of 4 religious turn of
mind, are doing a wonderfully
good work in this country. They
keep the big hotels supplied with
bibles, and in some instances a
travelling man occasionally fills
the pulpit of some church. Last
Sunday a travelling man filed the
pulpit of the Methodist church
in Cherokee. The travelling men
are getting over onto the right
side pretty fast.
The Progressives have effected
a permanent county organization.
They held a big meeting in Co
lumbus Tuesday and the state

in Columbus that day.
Mrs. H. A. Bender, a Galena
lady, quite we'll known in Baxter,
died on Friday of last week.
Two more robberies in Chetopa
last week, making six within a
month, has had the effect of stir
ring up the people there, and
some time some fellow is going
to have difficulty in carrying a
load of shot.
A horse was stolen from ]. E.
Turner at Columbus about a
month ago. The horse was
found at Pennington, Mo-, last
week, and the thief Was caught
at Minock, Ill. Sheriff Martin
brought the fellow back.
There seems to be some sort OF
scandal connected with the Office
of city marshal at Columbus,
and the matter is going to be
thrashed out in a regular trial
before the city council.
Smallpox has broken out at
Lawton, up in the northeast part
of the county, but it is under
quarantine, and no spread of the
disease is expected.
The president of the board OF
education at Miami publishes a
request to parent to have their
children vaccinated, as there is
smallpox in Miami.

EARTH's MOST LONELY SPOTS
islands Where Communication With
the Great World IL at Rare In
tervals-Tristan da cunha.

Though scientific progress has made
1t possible to do double journey be-
tween England and America In fort
night, there remain many Islands with
which It takes years to communicate
Of the Scottish coast are the
groups of islands known as the He
brides, orkneys and Shetlands. OF
these the most isolated island is st.
Kilda, some three miles long and two
miles broad. The inhabitants lead
lives OF great loneliness, for 1t takes
a month to get to the next island.
and the sea often makes any com
munication with st. Kilda impossible
for months.
The group of eight Phoenix islands
In the Pacific has total population of
only 1853, while another little bit Of
the, British empire is Tanning island.
This is landing place for the Pacific
submarine cable. and usually there
are about one hundred people In the
place.
The loneliest of all parts of British
territory is the Island of Tristan Da
Cunha In the South Atlantic, which
is also the smallest inhabited island
In the empire. 1t Is 1900 miles from
