Sale Gratifying Success.

Auctioneer McMenamin, who con-
Quoted the sale on Saturday last at
the Hanshew place in Blackhorse, re-
ports that it was gratifying success,
and much more money was realized
for the stuff than had been asked
for it at private sale. Nearly every
article and all the stock brought good
prices. He states that the people
were slow in getting started on the
bidding in good many instances but
they stayed on the job and but few
articles had to 60 at sacrifice. The
Holt combine went for $3.50, the only
bid that the auctioneer was able to
get. Evidently that kind of a ma
chine did not appeal to the farmers
assembled there and the man that
bought 1t just about paid for the
reach. This part of the equipment
was in splendid condition and some
thing that can be readily utilized In
drawing a combine. Mr.. McMena-
min states that he Is open for en-
gagemen's in conducting other sales.

In speaking of the war situation.
Judge Gary said here to-day:
L don't believe there are any signs
of an early peace. from the information
1 am able to get.
Two years ago there could have
been settlement on a pretty fair
hasis-one which would have secured
me integrity of all the countries, and
with practically the same geographical
lines which existed when the war
commenced-and, what is more impor-
tant. the establishment OF a basis for
the prevention of future wars. I have
some information which leads me to
that conclusion.
I'm any event. 1t is only a question
or time when the allies must be sue

takes from their homes and places
