assisted in the conduct of the business by Charles s. Porter, chairman of the Board, and by Dan Collyer; also by Robert l.. Ridley, nationally known fox ex- pert, and William L. Tichenor, warehouse manager.
 Six gigantic auction sales are held annually by the New York Auction Co.,, Inc. There are the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter auctions, as we'll as two additional auctions, held particularly for the sale of Silver Fox. Special sales of large individual collections are held occasionally.
 MT. Noakes and his staff receive, sort and sample thousands of peltS prior to each sale; a tremendous task, but one which is invariably performed to. the complete SatiS- faction of shipper and buyer. Ev- cry lot of skins must it's representative sample guaranteed by the company to be a fair one, and each lot must have a com plete record of all transactions af- tecting it since it's shipment from the station of little trapping center to the final check which the seller receives for his goods.
 This method of marketing mer- chandise has been instrumental in stabilizing the business of trap pers, collectors and fur breeders by giving them the assurance that their pelts will go to the market protected by the reputation of a great auction company and that they will be offered to the fur buyers in a manner which shall give them every opportunity to register a good selling figure.
 The New York Auction Company welcomes all fur producers on it's mailing list. There is no obliga- tion whatsoever.

FUR. AUCTIONS

 SHIPPERS RAW FUR
SIX GREAT SALES ANNUALLY HELD BY NEW YORK
 DEALER

When the great war made 1t difficult to ship furs to and from Britain, and also made it danger ous for buyers from America to cross the Atlantic, London, for centuries the fur sale center of the world, was no longer the log ical center for American buyers to visit. The war erased Leipzig |from the picture entirely, while impoverished Paris and Moscow lost the prestige which has been theirs prior to the opening of hos tilities.
 American markets, New York, St. Louis, Seattle, and in Canada, Montreal, rose to world leadership. Leading American dealers evolved the idea of organizing raw fur auction sales in New York, and the New York Fur Auction Sales came into being. The idea was tremendous success from the start and these sales have since become an authoritative barometer record- ing fur trade conditions of Amer ica and of the world.
 The New York Auction Co.,, Inc, today is headed by MT. J. Gordon Noakes, national figure in the fur trade of the country. His en- gazing personality, fair manner and outstanding skill as an auc- tioneer, are qualities which he has exercised to the betterment of the American fur industry for the past Is years. The fur industry knows, admires and trusts J. Gordon Noakes. Throughout. his 25 years in the auction business, 10 in the service of the United States gov ernment. and IS in the fur in dustry, he has proved his ability to sell merchandise, particularly furs, at their fair value.

CHAPTER VII-Continued

Sabra's farewell was intended to be
cold. Her heart, she told herself, was
breaking. The change that these last
four years had made in her never was
more apparent than now.
"You felt the same way when went
off to the first Rum" Yancey reminded
her. Remember? You carried on
just one degree less than your mother.
And if I hadn't gone you'd still be
living in the house in Wichita, with
your family smothering you in South

the Run on brilliant, wild-eyed mare

Spanish in her for speed and grace,
and strain of American mustang for
endurance. The start was made short

before the heat of the day. But
cavalcade awoke them before dawn
with rat-a-tat-tat of siX-shooters and
a blood-curdling series Of cowboy yips.
The escort rode with Yancey and the
Others for distance out on the plains.
Sabra, at the last minute. had the
family horse hitched to the buggy,
and Isaiah hanging on behind, some
how-the prim little vehicle bumped
and reeled its way over the prairie
road in the wake of the departing ad-
venturers. s,
At the last Sabra threw the reins
to Isaiah, sprang from the buggy, ran
to Yancey as he pulled up his horse.
He bent far over in his saddle, picked
her up in one great arm, held her
close while he kissed her long and
hard.

They were paying unconscious tribute
to Oklahoma's first feminist. She still
ran the paper single handed, with the
aid of Jesse Hickey the most expert
printer in the Southwest (when sober),
and as good as. the average when
drunk.
There still was very little actual
money in the territory. People
traded this for that. Sabra often
translated subscriptions to the Okla
homa Wigwam-and even advertising
space-into terms of fresh vegetables,
berries, wild turkeys, quail, prairie
chickens, dress lengths and shoes and
stockings for the children.
Sol Levy's store, grown to respect
able proportions now, provided Sabra
with countless necessities in return for
the advertisements which were sent
through the country via the Oklahoma
Wigwam. In quiet, dreamy way Sol
Levy had managed to buy a surpris-
ing amount Of Usage real estate by
now. He owned the lot on which his
store stood, the one just south of it,
and, among other pieces, the building
and lot which comprised the site of the
Wigwam and the Cravats' house. In
the year following Yancey's departure
Sabra's economic survival was made
possible only through the almost
shamefaced generosity of this quiet,
sad-eyed man.
"Tve got it all down in my books"
Sabra would say, proudly. You know
that it will all be paid back some day."
He began in the Oklahoma Wigwam
a campaign of advertising out of all
proportions to his needs, and Sabra's
debt to him began to shrink to the

CHAPTER VIII

Dixie Lees girls were riding by on
their daily afternoon parade. Sabra
glanced up as they drove by. She was
seated at her desk by the window in
the front office of the Oklahoma Wig
wan.
Her face darkened now as she saw
them driving slowly by. Dixie Lee
never drove with them Sabra knew
where she was this afternoon. She
was down in the back room OF the
Usage First National bank talking
business to the president, Murch Ran
kin. The business men of the town
were negotiating for the bringing of
the packing house and a pillow works
and watch factory to Usage. ANY
one of these industries required a sub
stantial bonus. The spirit of the day
was the boom spirit. Boom the town
OF Usage. Dixie Lee was essentially
a commercial woman-shrewd, clear
headed. She had made a great sue
cess of her business. She was a per-
sonage in the town. Visitors came to
her house now from the cities and
counties round about. She had built
for herself and her thriving business
the first brick structure in the wooden
town; a square, solid, and imposing
two-story house. its bricks formed
from the native Oklahoma red clay.
The house had been opened with a
celebration the like of which had
never been seen In the Southwest.

URGED
TO OPPOSE WAR
Lord Cecil Issues Appeal
for Mobilizing of Pub
lie Opinion

A public appeal, addressed to
the World Student Christian fed
Grafton by Lord Cecil. in the in
terest of mobilizing public opin-
ion throughout the universities of
the world in favor of thorough
going" disarmament at t e
Worlds Disarmament conference
to be held in Geneva next Febru-
airy, was made known in New
Haven, Conn.,, by Prof. Francis P.
Miller, president of the Student
federation, now lecturing at Yale.
Lord Cecil calls upon the nations
of the world to reduce their
budgets for armament by 25 per
cent and thus effect saving of
S1,000,000,000. The duty of the
nations to reduce ornaments is
called by Lord Cecil a serious
moral obligation" to Germany. His
letter says:
From being a subject of
academic interest, disarmament
has become the most topical and
the most urgent of all interna-
tional issues. l believe that moth
ing has Slapped the faith of ordi-
nary men and women in the League
of Nations so much as the knowl-
edge that member states of the
league continue to prepare for war
with one another, and that their
governments have shown such re-
luctance to give effect to the SOL
emn promises contained in Arti-
Gle 8 Of the Covenant of the league,
namely, that they will join in a
general reduction of ornaments to
the lowest reasonable limit.
"There can be no success for
this conference which does not in
volve substantial reductions. The
S t u d e mt Christian Movement
would render a valuable service to
peace were all its branches and
groups in which serious study can
be pursued to examine how best
the governments can be induced
to accept real reductions at the
Geneva conference.
There are, as you know from
studying the draft disarmament
convention, a number of ways in
which ornaments might be direct
ly reduced and limited. Many of
these methods of reduction and
limitation require good deal of
technical knowledge if they are to
be properly understood. But there
is one form of reduction which
every intelligent citizen and Chris
tian can understand, and that is
to put some check upon the use
Of public resources for military
purposes"
