As a taxi and a hearse.
Wen win she war with pork"
Conservationists say.
Put Mexico on the map,
And with bacon pave the way.n -
We like our good old sausage,
And the costly, sweet ham bones.
But Of all the pork that's fine,
There's none like Gerstdale Jonns

The Carter & Vandeventer Poland
GINA sale in this city Saturday was
not only the greatest sale of its kind
ever held but a record breaker in
breeding values offered as well as
prices paid. This is not the verdict of
the patriotic Mexicoan or Audrain
countyan, but of those men who
came from other states to bid on the
AZ head of sows offered whose total
sale in dollars and cents amounted to
S2S,657.S6; an average of $682.33, a
world record. The sale of the sow,
Busters Best, to Moore Bros, of
Gardner, Kansas, for $2,5OO broke the
worlds record price for sows, the pre-
vious being 1915.
The crowd at the sale was estimated
at 1000 while hundreds were turned
away, there being no further room to
accommodate them.
