Farm," - received many words' of high praise yesterday from those who had read it They agreed that it contains sketches that will live; that will be quoted by coming generations. It is so different. It Is unique. It is a part of the life of Ella Mc Munn. It gives forth her "kindly attitude towards all people and all living things. ' Sixty-five more copies were sold at Patton'a book store yesterday.' Almost equal to the number Fri day, the first day, when 69, were sold. i If the mall orders grow, as they, may, there will be none of the S00 copies of the first edition left by Thursday, Christmas day. That will surely be gratifying. Ella Me Munn talked of having 200 print ed. She thought 500 might be too many. ' There is no telling how many may- yet be sold. It Is conceiv able that hundreds of thousands may be wanted. - -a, Any way, the 500 will last only a short time; and they may all be gone before Wednesday night. I And Ella McMunn will have a; very substantial Christmas gift from the public In cash; and what is more, she .will have a testimon ial of kindly approval from that same generous public1 that will be still more highly appreciated and, encouraging. - : ' i -k-Ki f 'A .
