Olive Hayer sold his fine farm one mile south of town to Grant Jones of Andover, last week, who with his estimable family will take possession next March. Mr. Hayer will move into town and with his wife enjoy a well earned rest. Mr. J.

H. Gillispey bought the 160 acres northwest of town known as the McCann farm and will take possession March 1. Mr. McCann will move to a farm recently purchased near Decatur. Nothing strange about these sales but we want to call attention to the prices.

Mr. Hayer bought his farm 15 years ago last spring paying $50 per acre for it. He sold it for per acre, and it is worth every dollar h.e received. He has improved the place since buying it, but every year he has harvested a good crop off of the place so it has paid its own way. What is said of the Hayer farm might also be said of the McCann place.

This place sold for $75 per acre some eight years ago, and last week was sold for $125 per acre and our best judges of farm lands say it was dirt cheap. What has been said of the above two farms might be said of practically all the good farms around here. They are money makers. They are making money for present owners and will make money for future buyers. G.

W. Blair who made the sales of the above farms predicts that the same farms if taken care of will sell for from $10 to $25 per acre more money in five years. Lay this paper away and Chronicle. The telephone girl sits in her chair and listens to voices from everywhere. She knows who is happy and who has the blues she knows all our sorrows she knows all our joys she knows every girl who is chasing the boys she knows of our troubles she knows of our strife she knows every man who is mean to his wife she knows every time we are out with the boys she hears the excuse each fellow employs in fact there's a secret 'neath each saucy curl of that quiet demure looking telephone girl.

If the telephone girl would tell all she knew it would turn £11 our friends into bitter foes she would sow a small wind that would soon be a gale, engulf us in trouble and land us in jail she would let go her story (which gaining in force) cause half our wives to sue for divorce she would get all the churches mixed up in a fight, and turn all days into sorrow and night in fact, she could keep the whole town in a stew if she'd tell the tenth of the things she knew. Now don't it set your head in a whirl when you think what you owe the telephone girl? Rags Reporter office wants to buy a quantity of clean cotton rags.

A doctor was called before a coroner's jury to testify in a case where a man was killed by an automobile turning over. In reply to a question as to how the dead man looked, the doctor said: "He had a mobile look on his face." Guess that was right. A man killed by an automobile would no doubt have a mobile look on his face.

Nearly every town in central Iowa is shipping in car lots not only of potatoes but half and quarter cars of cabbages. Soon we shall be shipping in car loads of apples. This is in Iowa with the best soil on earth. We ship in onions from Oklahoma, beef from Chicago. The farmer with his $2,500 automobile drove up to the car, bought two sacks of potatoes, put a dozen head of cabbage on the bottom of the car, stopped at the meatmeat market and paid 25 cents a pound for steak and at the bakery bought three loaves of bread.

Just turn the switch and El Chafo is at your service. Supposing he did, whose business is it? Doesn't he pay cash and has plenty of it? The Iowa farmer does not have to raise garden truck, milk cows or churn butter. He doesn't have time to run a slaughter house or bakery. His time and land is worth more used in other ways. Only it does bring to mind that old story of how a certain class of Oklahoma farmers get rich.

Raise all they can, sell all they can, what they can't sell feed to the hogs, and what the hogs won't eat, eat themselves. It is an old story but Times-Republican.
