FRAZER FARM SALE
At ECONOMY BRINGS
OUT MANY BUYERS
By WILLIAM r. sANsoRN

The scene presented at the farm
sale OF the Rev. Oliver M. Frazer at
Economy. Friday. reminded one Of q
great family reunion, or Of q villags
home coming anniversary.
Mr.. Frazer has been serving the
Friends church At Economy as pastor
for the past ten years and is now to
remove to a larger field. He recently
accepted call from the church at
Smyrna, Chenango county, New York,
which was proffered him on most lib
eral terms.
The sale was attended by all the
members Of the congregation and by
neighboring farmers and their fami.
lies. The women and children far
outnumbered the men and the shaded
spots on the grounds reminded OF
picnic gatherings,
The most coveted possessions were
the kitchen cabinet and a handsome
davenport, the first bringing $25 and
the latter $32 An old time parlor Or
gan brought 81 and sixty dollar base
burner brought but $3.50.
Taken as whole the goods offered
brought fair prices. The offerings of
stock were limited to three farm
horses, five hogs. four cows and two
| calves. Glenn Conway, of Mooreland,
was the auctioneer and John Manning.
the banker at Economy, took care OF
the cash and settlements.
Fl Acre Home Place.
The Frazer place has just been bet
tered by a fine new barn, complete
to the lightning rods and fresh paint
The eight-room house was built fifty
years ago this fall, and the north side
of the roof still retains the original,
handshaved oak shingles.
The farm Of 81 acres was put up at
auction, also four acres of growing
corn. A Mr.. Fleming bought the corn
at $57 per acre and we understand
that j. w. Beard was the highest bid
| der on the farm property, at $20250
per acre.
The Frazer family will remove to
their new home in New York State
within few days and will be greatly
missed by host Of friends and neigh
bors, among whom they have lived
for many years.
Economy Elevator Report.
w. M. Kennedy, manager Of the An.
derson and Hollingsworth elevator At
Economy, reports capacity Of 10000
bushels and an intake to date of about
$4,000 bushels. He estimates that
fully three-fourths Of the wheat to
come his way has already been receiv-
ed. The lack of cars tied them up
for few days but four cars relieved
the situation somewhat this week.
Wheat was disappointment in
this section" said Mr. Kennedy;
some Of it running as low as II
bushels to the acre. The highest yield
1 have learned of. ran 20 bushels, and
was brought in by Frank Cain. They
are paying from $211 for number /
down to $40 for 53-pound grain at

Real Estate Trading
Very Quiet for Week

Real estate trading and buying has
been very quiet this week in Rich
mond and her suburbs. Practically
no business has been done by the
local real estate offices.
According to several local real es-
tate men this is due to the agitation
caused by the high cost of living
fight. People seem to think that real
estate has gone up along with food
stuffs, and other articles that have
gone sky high in the last few months,
SO say the statesmen.
There are numerous inquiries as to
real estate but the buying has been
far from brisk in the city. Many Of
the requests are for rental houses.
but those are few and far between,
according to the real estate men, AS
soon as high prices begin to go down
again. big real estate boom is
predicted

far into Poland as Warsaw and Lem

Press correspondent saw dozens OF
long trains crowded even beyond the

platform filled with men, women and
children and the nondescript baggage
Of the European peasant. Bundles
and chests and cloth bags and pa

baskets, rope tied, were strapped on
every available space.
Where the people are going or why

The trains themselves are wretched
enough. There is not a passenger car

yond words, nearly all the glass gone
and the windows filled with rough
boards or rusty sheets of iron or tin.
The paint has long since gone, and
some still bear the faded lines Of early
war camouhage. Lubricating oil is
one Of the scarcest Of commodities in
these regions and the cars creak along
over rusted rails, drawn BY shabby en-
gines.
Travel is a hazard. Schedules are
virtually non existent and these un-

supply permits. Stops in desolate
country regions of hours at time are
not unusual and in most parts the

traveller with meals are closed, SO that
