tai of $1o,215.oo

The closing out sale of J. P. Over
ton two miles west of Lacey was a
record breaker. Mr.. Overton was lib
eral advertiser and his publicity at
tracted great crowd of buyers, fully
five. hundred people being in attend
ance. The Ladies Aid Society of Tracy
who had prepared the lunch was to
serve all with the dinner as the great
crowd was much in excess of all an
ticipation but they made the best of it
and almost everybody gets something.
Promptly at eleven o'clock ]. M.
| Covey, auctioneer, opened the sale and
at $3.50 O'Clock p. m. had finished with
a record of 1856 separate and distinct
sales, totaling $10,215.00 over ten
thousand dollars almost all of which
was in spot cash Mr.. Overton was
highly pleased with the result of his
sale Everything offered was sold, in
snsive of horses, cattle, hogs, feed,
Ia n machinery, household goods, etc.
;. ~ I'D was SO large that it was
iIipossioie ~ those on the outer rim
OF Inc circle get near enough to

"snappy' and fast, haI - ha 70 cover

time mentioned Prices secure, wore
record breakers in several instances
One clerk could not hope to handle
the record of the work so fast anC
furious was the pace, once the bidding
went into high. so two able boys un
dertook the job, J. B. and Floyd Ly
man of the Iowa Savings Bank al
Tracy, keeping track of the business
and both had all they could handle.
The following are some of the prie
es secured. .
Cows brought from $S7 to $141, the
four top cows selling for $125, $3.50
$131 and Sal.
Young March, Poland China gifts
pure bred, sold from $65.O6 to $500
each.
Fall pigs brought fully twenty cents
per pound. That's better than market
price.
Aged sows commanded up to $3.50
the head.
Grain sold well. Corn brought $1.37a
per bushel. Oats went at ice. Baled
straw was snapped up at $1,000 per
| ton.
Chickens were in demand at $IS
per dozen.
Horses sold well, quality considered.
Farm machinery was no drag on
the sale and was in demand ~
Auctioneer Convey states that all
property is selling better than it did
in the fall and early winter. He is now
dated and booked ahead for number
of farm and stock sales.
The Henry Williams Sale FIVE miles
southwest of Oskaloosa was another
good sale by auctioneer Convey. Here
corn went as high as $1.44 per bushel
and oats say "A cents the bushel. Hay
at this place brought $27.O0 even, and
other things in proportion.
Conditions during the fall and early
winter were not favorable for public
sales but between this date and
March first much property is going to
change hands and some new records
are going to be made. The goods are
worth it with the conditions brought
on by the war. Watch the prices.

ables, "'' a Tale Of Two Cities', and
When a Man Sees Red"
In True Blue" Mr.. Farnum por-
trays the part of a western ranch
owner--a human, manly man. The
story is out Of the ordinary and deals
with a phase of life new to the cine
ma.
An English Remittance man, sud-
denly becoming possessed of title ana
estates, deserts his American wife and
young son, to return to England to
claim his inheritance. He does not
take them with him for the reason
that he believes he married "beneath
his station" This young son grows
up on a ranch in the boundless west
and becomes the central figure in this
drama of life. This character is
rlayed by William Farnum. over in
England the titled father, on learn
ing of the death of his American wife,
has married again and has another
son-a dissipated, profligate young
man.
Through a strange series of Incl
dents the half brothers are brought
together on the western ranch-one
with deep resentment In his heart; the
other, weak and unconscious of the
relationship. William Farnum, as
the strong brother, begins the refor-
nation and regeneration of his weak
relative and this accomplished, sends
him back to his people in England
a man.
Running through the entire pro-
duction is one Of the sweetest love
stories ever Produced story that
brings the brothers into appar-
ent rivalry for the hand Of charm
ing young woman.

PAsTIME TO-DAY.

Miss Dana Presents Spirited Dance.
A "conventionalized fandango" IS
the way Viola Dana describes a danes
she does in THE only Road" a Me-
tro All-Star Series picture which will
be presented at the Pastime theater
today. Miss Dana is no novice in the
art of dancing, as all who have seen
her spirited Spanish dance In "The
Winding Trail will doubtless attest.
As Nita, in THE Only Road" the
tiny star filings her toes about in thor
ough abandon atop a rough table in
a western saloon. The reason she
calls her dance "conventionalized
fandango" Is because It is a sort of
rhythmic potpourri. 1t is part fan.
dango, part tarantella, part cobra de
capello and part Hawaiian hula. In
other words, Miss Dana does not do
all of the dance with her feet.

Happened up with three young SOL

They were telling some verv inter-
esting stories in which they and their
division had been the actors. None
o. them were much over 20 years.
Here is one incident: When they got
the Huns on a run, some fellows got
separated from their divisions. One
small young American came up ask
ing for division No. . He was
told that they were far over to the
left. He was grimy with sweat and
dirt but he had before him at the
point of his gun a big Hun with a
week or two Of beard on his face.
They told him to leave the Hun and
hurry to catch his division. His reply
was Damned If do. have chased
