A FRAUD EXPOSED
By Postmaster Rising, of Mar.
shall A0.-A Sword Con-
test"

To Postmaster Rising, of Marshall,
belongs the credit Of exposing a
fraud that has pr,bably already cost
the ladies Of Missouri thousands
of dollars, and would have cost them
ore but for the exposure. Some
weeks ago an advertisement for the
Home Fascinator, sn alleged literary
and fashion magazine published at
Montreal, Canada, appeared in the
public prints with an offer of liberal
prizes, ranging from $1,000 down to a
gold-lihed silver set valued at $125,
to winners in a word contest compos-
ed Of the letters in the words, 1.-The
Worlds Fair" Or course
q person to become q
contestant for the prize, had to sub
scribe for the magazine. A number
of ladies of Marshall and vicinity bit
at the tempting offer and they were
wonderfully pleased with the first
copy of the publication. A few days
ago eight of these ladies who had con.
tested for the prizes received notices
that they had been successful. This
was . remarkable score for one town,
but il was more remarkable still that
each had won the gold lined silver tea
set. The notice contained q polite
request to send to the company at
Montreal 81 80 to cover the cost of
shipping and promising to send the
1925 tea set on receipt
thereof. Several of the ladies' applied
for money orders for that amount
and Postmaster Rising grew suspicious
of the Montreal concern. Accordingly
he requested the ladies to wait little
and let him investigate. He notified
the Postal department at Washington
and telegraphed to Chicago to stop
two registered letter., each containing
$3.50, that had already been sent.
Saturday Mr.. Rising received notice
from Assistant Attorney General
Tyner that an investigation had
shown the Home Fascinator Com.
pany' 10 be q fraud.
Mrs. O'Neil of this city and one or
two others were also attracted by the
advertisement and we're notified that
thye had won the prize. Such frauds
should be widely exposed as the above
and Postmaster Rising of Marshall,
certainly does deserve much credit.

in fine style. A crowd of men, wom-
en- and children gathered and at
tempted to catch the fugitive, but
for a long while without success.
The monkey wild with delight
at regaining his freedom. flew up and
down the trees like streak of light
ming, chattering loudly all the time.
He would occasionally spring over to
the cage, and then as swiftly dart
away again up q tree. He
was much more nimble and
active than a squirrel. and made a
''scene" that set the whole Pertle
Springs population into a roar
Of laughter. Finally, after
being nearly exhausted with
his "monkey Shines" canvas
was thrown over him and he was cap
tured and Gagged.
