 They bid for the whole village, the general store. the drug store. barber shop, pool hall, several houses and 53 acres of about as good land as there is in northwest ern Illinois. A couple of buildings. two houses and a vacant lot did not sell.
 Mud Delays Auction
 Almost everybody in Eliza, m even 52, counting the new Jones baby, went 10 the sale yesterday, but folks from other places had a hard time getting through on ac- count of mud. The sale had to be postponed from 9 a. m. until lat" afternoon and the chicken dinner that was to be served to everybody at noon got cold.
 John Bishop, who had owned the village for 20 years, said today that the men who bought Eliza got a bargain. He was satisfied with his end of the deal too.
 'The sale was big success fnan- cially," he said, but the crowd was not so good. If the hard roads had stayed hard. I'll bet we'd have had seven or eight thousand people hero.

Project Discussed at Meeting-
 Banquet for Boys Planned

Considerable business was trans acted at we'll attended meeting of Eddy-Glover post, American Legion, last night, and following the session refreshments were served by the Ladies auxiliary The meeting was short and snappy as Commander Emil Schaal is endeavoring 10 make all Legion gatherings. The meeting appropriated s25 for the Red Cross membership drive now in progress.
 A committee Of three was appoint ed to have full charge of all the arrangements for the banquet to be rendered the boys baseball team that represented the local post last summer, this committee being made up of Joseph Jackson, Howard Tenn pie and Fred Hoffman.
 A committee of three, consisting Of Roger Whitman, Otto Miller, and Herbert Bortini, was appointed to look into the advisability of forming a luncheon club among the mem bers of the post and will report probably at the next meeting.
 John Holmgreen was appointed as the representative of the post in the county bowling league.
 Reports were made to the meeting regarding the Armistice Day aCtiEl- ties and also the work of education week. the latter being a part of the work of the national organization.
 It was urged that as many mem- bers as possible attend the coming county meeting at Windsor Locks on November A. The drum corps of the post will be there and par ticipate in the meeting.
 Orrin Curtis of the membership committee said that the membership drive was progressing very well. This movement will materially assist the national commander in his efforts to secure better hospitals for the veterans through congressional ac- ton, it was said, as the matter is dependent more or less upon there being a large membership to support the demand for the hospital action.
 As the next meeting of the post falls due on Thanksgiving day, it will be omitted.

St. Petersburg, Fla, Nov. Is (Pj It looks like a long. hard winter for the rum fleet which operates in Florida waters.
 The recent raid along the New Jersey coast, by which rum trade said to have netted S2,000,000 in six months was smashed, marked what probably was the last major opera tion in the north of government forces this year. Liquor running isn't so successful in cold weather
 The battle against bootleggers now shifts to the balmy south.
 Immediately following the New Jersey campaign, it was indicated in Washington that, by December i, most of the available federal forces would be concentrated in this general vicinity.
 And now, to add to the woes of runners working from the Bahamas and other wet points in Atlantic and gulf waters. it has been an nounced that Uncle Sans coast guard destroyers would war on liquor and alien smugglers along the Atlantic seaboard will be at home off St. Petersburg from Janu- ary until well along in April for winter gunnery practice.
 Twenty four boats will have had a fling at floating targets in the Gulf of Mexico, and 2,O00 men will have sharpened their shooting eyes at land targets by the time the show is over.
 For the small arms practice the finest coast guard target range in the United States is being conn pleted at Egmont Key, few miles from St. Petersburg.
