Farm Sales Need Publicity W. your HEN you live have stock and finally farm decided to machinery, dispose the of first and most important point to bear in mind is Publicity. More important than the auctioneer is the advertising. No auctioneer can sell stuff at good prices when no bidders are present. Years ago hand bills were satisfactory and usually drew a large crowd, but the change in modern business conditions compel more modern methods of advertising.

Today, the automobile is used extensively. Under rdinary weather conditions buyers will come for miles to purchase horses, cattle, hogs or machinery. They have read your advertisement and have come to buy. People don't travel 15 to 30 miles merely to swell the crowd and help dispose of the free lunch. They are the buyers--they have the money and are going to get what they want.

Ten such buyers are worth 500 onlookers. To reach the real buyers you must advertise. To distribute bills over this entire territory would take days of driving. The cheapest and most efficient method is an advertisement properly displayed in the columns of this paper. We have had experience and can help you.

We cover this territory like a blanket. Every week the paper is read in nearly every home in the county and adjoining territory. Your advertisement will be read and re-read carefully by people who are interested. Members of the household will discuss the advisability of buying certain horses, cattle, you have listed. Finally they decide to attend your sale to buy what they want.

Your sale ad published in this paper will cost. you only a small sum when compared with the extra. profits it will bring, For instance, if this ad brought. only two buyers, men who are determined to get what they want, the increased price, caused by these keen buyers, would sell every article listed at an increase of several dollars. It would add considerable to the price per head of your cattle.

For a few dollars you have an opportunity of increasing your receipts on sale day several hundred dollars. Don't make the mistake of losing several hundred dollars in trying to save five or ten. If a merchant expected to do $3000 or $4000 in a day he would use several pages of advertising space. OUR GUARANTEE If you have a sale amounting to as much as $2000 and will use not less than page of space in our papers we will guarantee you a satisfactory sale--you to be the sole judge. If you are not satisfied your advertising costs you nothing.

She united with the Methodist church South in 1860 and was one of the charter members of the Plum Grove church at its organization and contributed liberally to its construction and maintenance. Though the church building is gone and the SOciety scattered her membership remained. In the pioneer days she was a faithful and earnest worker, overcoming many obstacles in the upbuilding of the spiritual as well as the material church. Being strong in her convictions of right and principle, hers was an influence for good that was felt throughout the community in which she lived. The ministers of her denomination always found a welcome in her home.

Link Parnells were visiting at Perry Offers to Operate 1 L. T. Another man has stepped forward and offered to operate the Leavenworth Topeka railway. The offer was made by Hal W. Neiswanger, and he is willing to back up his offer with good security.

He was instrumental in the organization of the Salina Northern railroad, so' the Capital of yesterday says. Mr. Neiswanger's plan is to issue bonds covering the entire amount of the stock sold, the bonds to pay 5 per cent. He will take over the road, maintain it and operate it at his own expense, and pay the 5 per cent interest on the bonds. By setting aside $20,000 and putting it out at interest, compounded semi-annually, he declares that al sinking fund will be created, which will retire the bonds in thirty years.

As compensation for the operating of the road he asks that, upon the retirement of. the bonds, he be given 60 per cent of the stock. Reports from the committees along the line of the road from Topeka to Leavenworth show that the stock has been subscribed to the amount of over $85,000 and the balance of $15,000, which it is desired to raise, will be secured by tomorrow, Saturday. Leavenworth has subscribed her pro rata, in the sum of $25,000, and Topeka had, yesterday, $15,000 signed up. The balance they expect to have by today or tomorrow.

The sale of the road to the people along the line is assured if the court abides by his decision, which there is no doubt but that he will. It is hoped to have the road in' operation with two or three weeks after date of sale--which is set for next Wednesday. Sunday afternoon.
