COURT day CROWD LARGE
BUT LITTLE BUSINESS DONE.

Last Monday, county court day,
was supposed to have been "Horse
Show Day., as was the case in the
years gone by, but from stand
point Of horses exhibited, it was
almost failure, due partly to the
inclement weather of the early
morning, owners fearing to bring
their horses out, and partly to the
scarcity of horses that we're so pop
ular few years ago.
However the Record is carrying
some advertisements Of some splen-
did horses and jacks and would pay
any breeder to look over the list
carefully before deciding to breed
elsewhere.
A good crowd was in attendance
and many mules of inferior quality
was offered and a few changed
hands at satisfactory prices. The
cattle pens were well filled and all
sold at good prices. Most of them
being of the younger type. A few
sows and pigs sold fabulously high
and shoats bringing from 20 to 25
cents a pound.

BOYS CALF CLUB
TO Be ORGANIZED In COUNTY.

Working in conjunction with
County Agent Rogers, Mr.. o. Ker-
cher, of Lexington, who has charge
of all the boys clubs over the state
of Kentucky, an effort is being
made here to organize a boys calf
club in this county. Already about
five boys have petitioned Mr..
Rogers to become members and he
informs us if he can get a total of
ten or twelve the organization is
assured. The idea is to furnish each
boy with a registered bred heifer of
the short horn type, the cost to be
about $3.50. for each heifer. The
Garrard Bank and Trust Company
have agreed to furnish the money
to the boy, with his fathers security,
thus enabling him to get his start.
Lying in close proximity to the
ready sale can be had for the bull
mountain counties of the state,
calves, for most of the cattle bought
in this and adjoining countiel, come
from these mountain count.ss. The
movement is certainly wort,:y one
and will have the backing of the
Kentucky Short Horn Breeders
Association.
Boys ranging in ages from twelve
to eighteen is desired and those in
terested should consult with Mr..
Rogers, our county agent, at once.

given quite surprise, and an agree
able one we dare say, when he was

conclusion brought forth hearty
applause from the members present.
The gift was made as a token of es-
teen with which Mr.. Joseph is held
in the lodge, being one of its most
active members for the past seven
years, in which time he has occupied
every chair in the lodge, with credit
to himself and with all honor to this
worthy fraternity.
Mr.. Joseph in responding to this
token of appreciation, said that
words were inadequate for him to
express his gratitude as he would
like to, but that he was grateful
from the bottom of his overlooking
heart for the beautiful remeir-
brance, and as a sequel to the happy
occasion, he invited the entire lodge.
to be his guest at the Puritan, to a
delightful luncheon which was
thoroughly enjoyed by all
In leaving for military services N

SWINEBR0AD SALE
HOME PLACE BRINGS $2lO.55 AN ACRE

The Swinebroad farm containing
240 acres was sold yesterday by its
owner, Mr.. G. B. Swinebroad, the
real estate man, to Messrs j. C.
Rankin and F. F. Fitzpatrick, for
s210.55 an acre. This is the high
est price farm sold at public auction
in this section up to this time.
There is but one reason for the
high price, and that is that it is one
of the best that has ever been offer
ed. Although the day was rather
cold the crowd was there and the
bidding was spirited, not by-bid
was ever made on the farm or any of
the personality offered. A splendid
dinner was served by the Red Cross
chapter, of Hubble, and something
over $500 was realized A cake
being offered, was sold several
times and $50, was Melted for this
one item.
Live stock sold well; 20 yearling
steers bringing 500 head. Cows
brought from 500 to $125; sows
ready to farrow, selling for sos to
ss5; stock hogs bringing $50 head
Registered Jersey bull calves. from
$50 to $40. Farming implements all
sold well.
Boliver Bond was ON the block
when the land was sold and our own

stock. Altogether the sale was
great success. Possession of the
farm will be given May LIST.
