HORSES AWAIT
SALE HAMMER

The Lackey Horse sale which is to
be held at Cambridge City March 9. is
attracting the attention of lovers OF
the trotter and PAGER throughout the
central west For twenty-SiX years
has this annual event been held and
with each succeeding sale the quality
and quantity of the offerings has been
advanced until this, the twenty
seventh annual, bids fair to far sur
pass it's predecessors in the high
uuality of the horses to be disposed of
as we'll as the number to choose from.
That king of all horse auctioneers, Col.
George Balm, he of blue grass fame
and fortune, will preside over the sale
and this in itself insures success.
Owing to the failure of the concern
having the contract to furnish the
catalogs on time just what standard
bred horses to be offered at this sale
Is not known and it will be the middle
Of this week before Manager Calvin
will be able to distribute them.
The spacious barns and grounds,
lust south of the Pennsylvania tracks
have been put in apple pie order and
prospective oat-earners on many a
track the coming summer are daily
being received and placed in condition
for the sale.
1t is estimated that between 300 and
/ 400 horses will be disposed of at this
sale, some of them being by the most
noted sires in the country. Just al
| this time when the demand for al
grades of horse exceeds the supply the
success of this sale would already
seed assured.

CONDUCT CDNCRETES
GENUINE Repent kNCE

Repentance does not become
force until it has been concreted in
conduct.
That kind of repentance will COM
mand forgiveness.
Sin melts away before repentance
and forgiveness"
These were some of the nuggets of
religion thrown to his congregation by
the Rev. Harry Hartman last night
when he preached on the return of the
prodigal son, deriving from it a new
lesson The father. the Rev. Hartman
said, should have been more apprecia-
tive of the faithfulness of the son who
did not leave home.
My constant purpose is to present
some new lesson which will make this
old-fashioned custom of going to
church, live, vital and interesting.
