The war having robbed the country

GO TO SALES IN AUTOS.
But Western Kansas Farmers Still Pay
Big Prices for Horses.

Brewster, Kan, March 23.-That
the farmers of northwest Kansas are
making money is shown by a recent
sale near town. The clerk of the sale
was Ike w. Crumley, cashier of the
State bank. There were Sc automo-
biles present and each had from four
to six occupants. Besides there were
many other horse vehicles present
One mare sold for $3.50, and another
for $217.50. Everything else sold ac-
cordingly, the sale amounting to over
$500, and with the exception of less
than $1,000 in notes the balance was
cash.
Brewster was a good grain point in
1914. The grain marketed brought
$305, 376.05, besides for the cream
shipped out the farmers were paid
$19,S75.25. The outlook for crops in
1915 is more promising now than a
year ago.
