 J. H.

He had a letter from the Consumers' Wholesale Grocer Company" stating that the men were frauds and were not em- ployed by the company.
 Brown said the two men called at his place on January 26. They did not tell their names, but said they were known as The Two Big Fat Drummers." One of them, Brown said, was a German and the other an American. They offered to sell groceries at very low prices. quot ing" meat at z 1-2 cents and other articles at prices in proportion. Brown ordered $S5 worth of groceries and as the goods were to be shipped c. o. D. paid S20 to cover freight charges. He was to receive a bill of lading from the Con- sumers Wholesale Grocery Company when the goods were shipped.
 Brown waited for several days and as his groceries did not come he wrote to the Consumers Wholesale Grocery Com pany asking an explanation of the delay. The firm replied that the men were not in its employ.
 Brown said the men had their head quarters in Selma and were at the St. James Hotel in this city for two weeks. They rented a buggy and drove into the country in the morning. returning in the afternoon. He said they duped many other farmers In his nelghborhood. He described them as being each about 40 years old tall, weighing over 200 pounds and with heavy blonde moustaches.

Scarcity of Cars.

The railroad situation Is anything but a pleasant one so far as the hauling of freight goes. Just now. according to New York official, some parts of the country must go hungry because of lack oAA Transportation facilities.
 TAere is a scarcity of flour in New York and at other seaboard cities. with the Likelihood that there will be some thing like a famine in that article be- fore the situation can be relieved by ship ments from the Northwest. There is plenty flour in Minneapolis. but the rail- roads haven't the cars and locomotives to get 1t East as fast as it is wanted The coal situation has helped to tie up traf- sic in other commodities. We need more tracks, more cars and more engines" is the summing up of the railroad man re- ferred to above.
