Bolles’ Talks No. 206—Be Thankful That You’re Alive— Good Richmond and Conesus Farms—A Sale and Improvements. I suppose tho Gazette w ill come o u t a little earlier this week on ac count oi Thanksgiving day, when all tho bosses and all the boys w ill want to lay oft and either Ail up on forty- cent turkey, or try to produce tho same kind of a flllod-up feeling on dried apples nnd water or something of that kind at much less expense. W e certainly all havo something to bo than k ful for, it it is no moro than lo r being alive it wo want to bo. The hab it of thankfulness is as easily cul tivated as tho habit of growling, if you only start in time. There have been a good many better seasons, hut I guess tho folks throughout this sec tion w ill manage to worry through and tackle another one. The shock of having short crops is gradually w e a ring oft, and farmers are finding th a t tho big prices are going to let tliem out muoh bettor than they ox- pected. W ith in ten days I have had more calls from people w h o either w a n t or thin k they want to buy a farm than I have had before all tho fall. Since last wook’s w r itin g I havo had a few moro pieces of prop erty added to my sale list; am o n g the rest one ot the best producing farms In the town of Richmond, w ith an al- most-new threo-thousand-dollar barn, and soveral other out-buildtngs not so now, but all useful; a compact, warm, well-kept farm house, and a num b e r of other good points. This farm has always been a money-mak- er under favorable circumstances,and has never done very badly w h e n near ly everything seemed to be unfavor able. It lies in ono of tho best of neighborhoods in the w o rld; and I w o n ’t hack up on that statement one Inch. About throe miles takes you to market from this farm, about the samp to a choice of churches, and the scliool-house is so near that I t w ill bo necessary to have the kids w h o may live there do. moat ot the chores, ln order to get sufficient exercise and keep them out bf mischief. There are about 137 acres of land, and a good clianco right at hand to rent and work over one hundred more.For any ono w ith some push, enterprise and a little money, few farm s offer moro inducements to the buyer at tho price Thero is a farm ot about the same size ln tho town ot Conesus, which is equipped with the best kind of buildings, and plenty of them, that is a first-class investment, whether one wlBhos to work It or not, for on shares or a t a fair cash rent it will pay good Interest. I can’t under stand w h y this farm should drag at a ll on the market, for it is one of the most appealing farms to my eye that I knaw-of A,sale, In which for a long time 1 havo been endeavoring to get the par ties together, was at last consum m i ted the fore part of the week; and a piece of businoss property changes hands, right- here ln tho village, and very groat improvements are antici pated, which I am suro w ill be ap preciated by all. There aro other changes talked of, and there seems to be plenty of faith that a prosporou* future is in store for Livonia. V illage homes aro selling lower horo just at present than in some other villages, and now is a good tim e to buy, for thero Is bound to bo an advance. I am always roady to glvo all the Information about prop erty I can to people who mean to do business w ith me or some one olse. Tomorrow Is tho double auction at Conesus; and there is some good live stock and other property to sell. More sales com ing; watch for tho auction notes and bills. Advise w ith mo about your own sale If you aro going to have one. E - R - Bolles.

Nobody’s chagrin equaled that of a young lady clerk in a Main street store, however, who, although she had often heard and read about Mr. Sanders, had never had him pointed out to her. The Presidential candi date’s special train was late ln ar riving there, but about tho scheduled timo of its arrival the congressman- olect rode along M ain street toward the west in an automobile as though bound for the hall where tho speak ing was to take place. Tho young lady thought that tho crowd along tho street was entirely too decorous, so she waved tho flag which sho had secured for the occasion and shouted loudly: “H u rrah for the next Presi dent.” The driver of tho automobile afterward said that Mr. Sanders smiled and asked, ‘‘Who is that nice young lady?” F IN E PICTURES For Christmas presente.

The question is one which does not Involve politics, as such, though the advocates o f the two respective poli cies are political figures.

W hen the m a c h ine was left, as is alw a y s the case, the power was turned off and everything adjusted for the night. The theory is that a p layful rodent clim b e d to the back of a chair, touch in g the electric lever on the wall, w h ich started the machine on Its mo notonous trip, or possibly, used to Its n ig h t ly stunts,it became tired of day tim e manipulations and preferred the darkness. Anyway it is m ig h t y mys terious. People passing the office heard the noise of the m a c h ine and wondered if a mid-night edition was on the way. Others thoug h t It was M a r le y ’s ghost knd hurried by. The sad feature Is it wasted a lo t of good electricity.

According to the prelim inary esti mates of crop production,m a d e by the U. S. departmen? of agriculture,eight of the leading crops in New Y o r k State show lower yields than last year. This decrease ln tho estimates from 1915 has, in each of the eight crops, a corresponding decrease in the U n ited States as a whole. Corn in New York promises only 14,300- 000 bushels, a fa l l in g off of almost 10,000,000 bushels trom 1915; the United States total is .down 414 m il lion bushels below last year’s figures. W h eat shows a possible yield of 7,875,000 bushels In New York, a drop of 1,875,000 bushels; the w h e a t total for a ll the States Is 304,000,000 bushels short. Oats, barley, pota toes and buckw h e a t also suffered in Now York. The cabbage crop is u n der that of last year by almost two hundred thousand tons in New York; beans are about a h a l f m illion short. Hay shows an increase in New Y o r k and in the U n ited States as a whole. New Y o r k made a gain in apples am o u n ting to 4,000,000 barrels;this in the face of more th a n a nine-mll- lion-barrel drop in production for a ll the States.
