HUNS WARNED TO
CUT OUT AUSTRIA
(By Associated Press)

Paris, Sept. z.-Bulletin--The
supreme council of the peace con-
ference has decided to send forceful
note to the German Government
pointing out the contradiction with
the Versailles treaty Of provision in
the new German constitution provid-
ing for representation of Austria in
Germany's reichrath. The council has
demanded the suppression of the
article within fortnight declaring
otherwise the Allies will be compelled
to undertake a further occupation OF
the left bank of the Rhine.
The article objected to in the
German constitution has not been
received in this country, but ap-
parently provides that Austria
might ahve a certain number OF
representatives in the German
parliament proportionate to the
Austrian population. 1t is held
to conflict with the German peace
treaty forbidding German inter
ference in Austrian affairs.

MRS. CLAY'S FARM
BRINGS over $500
l.. P. Evans Conducts Another
Successful Sale of Fine Madi-
son Blue Grass Land

Real Estate Agent l.. P. Evans,
of Richmond, scored another fine
success when he sold the big farm
of Mrs. Mary Harris Clay, OF
Paris, at auction Tuesday morn
ing. at an average Of over $ZOO an
acre. There was big crowd at
the sale, with buyers from halt a
dozen counties. The farm sold
in three tracts, 573 acres being in
cluded in the whole sale.
Prominent real estate men IRON
all sections were on hand for this
big sale. All are of the opinion
that land is still on the upgrade,
with no probability OF lowering
in the market within sight.
Mrs. Clays farm was located
six miles south of Richmond at
Harris Flat on the l.. & N. rail
road, and on the Menalus pike. 1t
is part Of s"Blythewood" the fa-
nous farm OF the late Major John
D. Harris, who in his day was one
of the biggest cattle feeders in
this part of the state. The three
tracts were sold as follows:
Tract No. /, containing 1922
acres, was bought by John c.
Stone, of Lexington, at $245.25
per acre. There are no improve
ments on this land, except stock
scales; it is all in blue grass and
has been for number of years.
Tract No. 2, containing 200
acres, was bought by w. F.
Moody, of Kingston, at $3.50. 10 an
acre. This tract contains a four
room cottage, two tenant houses,
and what is said to be the largest
tobacco barn in Madison county.
Tract No. 8, containing 229.87
acres, was bought by John W.
Herndon, of Berea. This land is
all in grass except IS acres, and is
splendid tobacco land, as is all OF
the farm.
The sale was a splendid one in
every way and another of the
successes that Mr.. Evans is max
ing this season in the farms
which he is handling. He is be-
ing warmly congratulated upon
having conducted such a satisfac-
tory affair in every way.
Col. Bolivar Bond was the auc-
tioneer, and at his best.
