led by nose as to price in the sale
ring. The best pair Of mules went at
5000, to Claude Adelman, who knows
mules from tip to tip. The top on
q team of horses was paid for q really
handsome pair Of grays-$525. and
George Early produced the money. But
q lot of other horses and mules, not
ranking exactly as headliners, con-
tributed literally to the pile of checks
taken In. There was q roam mare, for
instance, that went at $247.5O. after
quite q contest.
The sale was conducted in COM
modious tent, well Uttered with clean
sawdust. The arena was roped Off
and the auctioneers held the center
of the scene in the sale box. high
above the heads of the buyers.
The first COW presented for admira-
ton. black spotted, with calf at
side; was knocked down to George
Early, at $125. A contented looking
brindle, also with calf, came next into
view amid great applause from the
men in the sale box. Some lucky
man who loves milk got Mrs. Brindle
at an even 500. Next came q Jersey
mother with an eager offspring, the
twain selling at $50, to be followed by
q black which brought $115 and q
brindle pair which reached $125. Wal
ter Brumfield got away with a good
Holstein pair at $50, when the auc-
tioneers weren't watching. There
were sixteen head in the cattle list
and all were quickly disposed OF. In
the sheep pens we're discovered 43
head of sheep and lambs. They were
discovered by Clarence Ryan, who
greatly admired them. He saw them
first, and also last, for they now be-
long to him. He had the habit OF
bidding another dollar on each pen
and SO won out Prices realized are
not to be complained of, and the sheep
were the worth while kind.
Some Really Good Horses.
The scene presented in the horse
barn was one to delight the eye OF
men in quest Of good drafters. The
tops on horses and mules have already
been given and Of the balance Of the
list little need be said. OF the AZ
head put up none were given away,
though few dollars more would have

EMMETT HENsLEY STOCK SALE
Those OF you who read the e. w.
Hensley stock sale literature. or at
tended the sale, have noted the offer
ings of grain, implements, etc. But
the sale was practically and almost
exclusively, dispersion of horses.
cattle and hogs, insofar as the re-
ceipts were concerned.
The sale was held on tented field,
where dollars and not bombs or bull
let's were the requisite to victory,
glory-be. Tom Conniff, Simon We'd
die and Omer Plat were the COM
manding generals, whose clario
voices stimulated or lured into &C.
ton the opposing forces, lined up
around the ropes in battle array.
Relating to McGinty
You will remember that sad, sweet
refrain, relating to one McGinty, of
course. No, did you say? Well, poor
McGinty, immortalized in verse and
ragtime dance music, was ship wreck
ed, or fell overheard or something.
and was drowned. His taking away
was wet enough to Jar the heart of a
prohibitionist. Added to the awful
horror was the fact that: Down
went McGinty to the bottom of the
sea: dressed in his best suit of
clothes!"
That's the chorus, as the poet wrote
1t. gentlemen, so don't blame us. We
simply wanted to use this illustration
in connection with the Hensley sale,
only vice-versa, as they say in Pata-
gonia.
You see. 1t was this way-or wasn't
It? 1t was. Tom Connif noticed it
when he told Emmett Hensley that
this was Emmett's day of, day on
which to let George do 1t, that is
chase the calf around the sale ring,
in this instance. You see, Mr.. Hensley
was arrayed like a bridegroom on the
fateful day-or like McGinty, was
dressed in a new suit of clothes, the
observed OF all observers. Now this
was brilliant exception to the rule
at farm sales, where the boss is usual
ly the busiest and muddiest man on
the place. For this reason we make 1t
matter OF record. Instead Of going
down like McGinty, Mr.. Hensley is
climbing up the roadway to wealth.
He made a giant stride on Thursday
when he laid by $14,S51 to take to the
bank on Friday, Friday being a lucky
day on which to deposit lot Of money

BY WILLIAM r. sANsoRN.

The people Of this vicinity who mar
vel at the number Of farm sales adver-
tised and reported in the Palladium,
are beginning to ask the reason for
this apparently contagious and cpl
demic condition. Some of them i'm
agine this to be merely local express
sgion Of the desire to exchange farm
implements and live stock for cur
rency, confined to this section of In
diana. and adjoining Ohio counties.
That Is q mistake. The farm sale
fever Is widely prevalent. and not
merely sporadic. This Is also true
as to breeders circuit sales, the lat
ter, however. being the rule for many
years. To this fact is owed the i'm
provement Of herds and flocks every
where.
In order to reply satisfactorily to
letters Of inquiry on this subject, and
to personal queries addressed to the
writer at every sale attended. we
shall, little later, devote q chapter
to this interesting topic; the Why
and Psychology Of the Farm Sale.
Primarily, of course, 1t is the desire
to ."get the money" which predomi-
mates. But back Of that desire is the
reason why, varying as to circum-
stance and in degree. That you will
be any the wiser after you have read
what we shall say on this subject,
may be doubted. You will, in any
event. get new view point, and pos
sibly few interesting side-lights.

which calls for an initiation fee of 81
and annual dues Of the same amount
payable upon initiation, was amended
to dispense with the payment of the

A resolution was passed asking
that Congress appropriate sufficient
money to buy the valley OF Piney
