Extraordinary interest in the rails

the g head Of big type Poland china
hogs offered for sale boy Charles
Relish. The sale was held on the
Relish farm one mile north OF Lake

OF S24. The average price on 33
sows, mostly spring gifts. was $3.50.
The sale was the first OF the kind

that. with the exception Of three
animals sent out Of the county, and
only four outside of Union town

living near Lakeville.
Considered sale Good.
The attendance at the sale was
made up largely Of buyers and the
bidding was lively. Prices obtained
were conceded 10 have been some

condition OF the corn crop and be-
cause OF the time Of the sale. Auc-
tioneer Waffle. however. stated il as
his opinion that the sale was an ex-

parison with other similar sales held
IN Indiana and Michigan within re-
cent months.
A large part of the sows disposed

OF "A. A. Wonder" being one of the
best known boars in the state. The
animal Is valued at $500. and was
purchased by Relish and Jones in
the spring from Leroy Hunter of

that his filters during four years
have averaged 9 1-3 pigs. with two
itters Of 10 pigs, that ne has sired
a record number of pigs which have
sold for 500 or more each in the
ring in this state and that at a sale
held at Lebanon, Ind, in 1914. a
spring gilt sired by him topped the
sale at $3.50, the record price for
the state.
It was upon the guarantee of
Relish, based upon the claims for this
sire. that the farmers at the sale
invested in his stock for their farms
The terms of the sale were cash OF

the purchasers every opportunity of

Fighting White Slave Traffic

The first definite campaign against
the white slave traffic in any large city
Of this state has been undertaken by
Prosecuting Attorney Lundin of Sc
attic. Though Lundin has held Office
only since the first Of the year he has
already secured the conviction of the
city negro tenderloin boss, the arrest Of
two policemen for accepting money
from dissolute women and has, further,
secured the arrest Of two hotel keepers,
who will be prosecuted under the state
red light abatement law. 1t is known
in Seattle that many other important
catches are to be made. Previous
prosecutors have made sensational an
nouncements of plans in this connec-
ton, but Mr.. Lundin is the first to get
effective results.

An Economical Legislature

In carrying out its pledges Of econ
omy the republican majority in the
state legislature has cut the state
budget from last years total Of $11,
$4,000 to $1,000, 900, saving of
more than 81, 100000. This was &C.
complished by the careful and con-
scientious work of the appropriations
committees, who insisted that the ap-
preparations asked must be based upon
actual needs of the various depart
ments and not upon guesses. 1t was
the plan of the committees to take
care OF the needs of the state institu-
tions and in fact all branches Of
the state government. 1t is claimed
that the 1915 legislature has made
name for itself as the most
economical Legislature since statehood,
and the republicans are determined
that the three mill statutory limit for
general fund purposes which was levied
two years ago by the democrats, shall
not be repeated, as the burden OF the
taxpayers is already heavy enough, 1t
is noteworthy fact that the entire
omnibus budget went through both
houses as prepared by the appropria-
tons committees, with the exception
OF few minor corrections.
