COUNTRY DISTRICTS HAVE =.
BIG PERCENTAGE OF CARS.

According to survey by JIM. Gum,
president of the United States TIE
company, 33 per cent of the automo
are in districts under 1000 population
and % per cent in communities between
i 700 and 5000. These figures Indicate
that the heaviest use of cars is in farm
ing regions such as Iowa, where there
is one car for every six persons. Fig
ures compiled by the National Auto
mobile Chamber Of Commerce Show
that the IL largest cities, all with pop
ulations over 1000, have but nine
per cent Of the car registration.

LOCAL AUCTION SALES
ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL
Tt1lar Farm is. Scene of One. Of Best
Auctions of Season Bildimg
Is Good. e-

A $4,000 auction sale was held at
the G.. a. Tullar farm yesterday which
proved to be one of the most successful
OF the present season. While no. eX-
ceptiOnally high markets We're set, the
bidding was good and general Opti-
mistic atmosphere prevailed through
out the sale. An exceptionally large
crowd was present.
The highest team brought $500 in
the ring and the highest single horse
was parted with for 5000. A large
amount Of machinery was disposed of
at the sale, most of which brought
fair returns considering general con-
ditions at present Seed barley went
for sos to $1.1O per bushel.
The selling Of this large amount of
property in one day speaks well for the
fast and efficient work of Toby Scheie,
the Warren auctiOneer, who cried the
sale, and also for the work Of the clerks,
r.. e. Thomas and Clarence Bake, of
the First National Bank of Warren.
The arrangement of articles to be sold
by w. F. Tullar, manager of the farm,
also facilitated the rapid disposal OF
the property.
Other sales held last week are also
reported to have been quite successful.
Monday, March 28th, a public sale
will be held by Sigward Olson, 3 miles
eli and 1 mile south of Warren. Toby

LAND PROSPECTS

quiries concerning Marshall county.
land have been received by land men
in Warren, indicating that with better.
road conditions and more favorable
spring weather there VIII be many.
home seekers looking over marketable
farms in the county. One Of the fea-
lures of the real estate movement this
spring will be the fact that land trans
fers win in all pr0babil ities be to pros-
pective farmers and sfewer land specu-
lators than ever before, according to
the opinion expressed BY local real
estate men.
To date there has been practically no
movement in land but Inquiries received
indicate that before long there will be
prospective buyers looking over farm
lands with a view to purchasing and
establishing homes. 1t is expected that
practically all of the buyers this year
Will become permanent settlers of the
county,
According to G. HI. HOpwood. of the
Pioneer Land company, Marshall cotln-
ty land values will hold up good this
year and better road conditions will
bring people up to- look at local lands.
He looks to large influx Of farmers
from Iowa and southern Minnesota as
most of the prospective buyers who
have inquired concerning local lands
are renters from Iowa and southern
Minnesota. These men will not have
exceptionally large amounts Of capital
to invest but will make the farm they
buy their home. The ever increasing
rents demanded in the states south and
the southern part of this state make it
imperative that many of the renters
move to more favorable localities. s
The same outlook on the land situa-
ton this spring isymaintained by r.. G.
ssMathWig of the Marshall County Land
company who says; ''Wesare receiving
INQUIRIES from actual farmers in Iowa
and elsewhere. With the early spring
the farming outlook should be yery

that the farmers and citizens. Of the

exceptional game. Raymond Swandby,
high school basket ball celebrity, play

mates and proved that the company was
not too fast for him by making a bas-
ket and q free toss. Kays and Lind
strand played their usual stellar games
and are accountable for many of the
baskets that Grafton did not get.

is to so regulate the flow of grain that

be put upon foreign markets. Upon
taking the grain to theslocal warehouse
the farmer would receive receipt FOR
a reasonable portion, approximately 70

could Immediately borrow money. Up,
on the selling of the grain he would
receive the remainder OF it's selling
