'Motor cars appear in Estevan from
across the line, and after lying to for
a day OF two make the return trip,
carrying cargoes which easily clear

ga wave of prosperity has Swept
Estevan since the trade has reached
its present status. The game has
proved so lucrative that hundreds
are devoting their entire time to it.
Conditions along the international
line at present are bordering on law
lessness, and only recently the daugh-
ter of a chief of police was arrested
and fined for carrying concealed wea-
pons.
"The great difficulty in preventing
this rum running, which is all done
in 'whisky-sixes,' as the motor cars
are called, is the fact that it is not

DEGARM0 MEETINGS

"What becomes of the sins of the
saved ?" was Evangelists DeGarmo' 5
theme Tuesday night at the Calvary
Baptist church. Proving by the use of
various Scriptures that all sin, he
then as basis for his sermon took
up the life of David and Gods cove
nant with him, showing though we
may sin as David sinned, but if saved,
God would chastise the disobedient
child, but that he was under an ev-
erlasting covenant, and those believ-
ing he could be lost did not believe
the Bible.
The evening services are being
well attended. Much interest is mani
fest, and at the Monday night service
about 25 men and woman said by up
lifted hand that they realized they
wanted the Christian people to pray
for them One of the most noticeable
things about the meeting is the large
number of men attending. Tuesday
evening nearly half of the audience
was composed of men. The subject on
Wednesday evening will be an illus
trated sermon: "What tie Bible
means by belief on Christ"

the state of Illinois where this
amount was raised, 'but for pur-
poses of national, state and coun-
ty campaigns, combined" Ohio,

FALL CATTLE SALE
BEGINS NEXT MONTH
Court and Labor Day VIII Make
City Busy Place Sept. g.
Business AS Usual

Monday, September 6, promis-
es to be a big day in Richmond,
the date recording Labor Day as
we'll as court day. and while there
is no extensive observance Of La
Dor Day planned, it is believed the
court day proceedings will be the
greatest of the year, since it will
mark the introduction of the fall
cattle sales. This, local produc-
crs assert, will be exceeded one
month later-court day in Octo-
Der.
There will be no cessation of
business in Richmond, the same
rules applying as were in evidence
on the July court day, which
came on July 18th. [ will be even
a more open day" for business,
owing to the fact that horsemen
declare there will be supply, or
partially so, OF the great demand
for mules. and especially mule
colts. One local auctioneer in
speaking of the situation, stated
there was a great demand for this
class OF stock. and was but little
supply at present; but this is ex-
pected to be turned loose next
month, and great sales are being
predicted.
There have been but few cattle
sold at the court day sales thus
far this year. most of the produc-
ers disposing of their supply III
drOves. or at one sale. There is
known to be an abundance Of
steers almost ready for the mar
ket. and it is probable much Of
this class of stock will be offered
for sale. The mule demand is
showing an increase, mule colts
and for some time the
demand has been far in excess of
the supply.
The farm work this year so far
has been far in excess of that for
the corresponding period last
year, according to statements up
on the part Of farmers, who claim
they will have stock for sale with
iii the next few weeks. Much of
this is expected to find its way to
the city on court day. While It
is known there have been more
gasoline machines utilized for
farm work, there there has been
4 steady demand for farm horses
and mules, and many were
bought during the spring months
for the summer work. and now II
is the belief that many of these
will be turned over to the mar
ket.
The south will take hundreds OF
mules, it is said, of certain work
ing qualifications, as we'll as
horses. Hundreds of horses have
been bought for the Mexican
government and have been ship
ped south. There are many more
to follow, according to the state
nents OF buyers from the south
who are already known to be il
the field.
