A good many people cat Rocheiort

green part. and feeling that tHey
are taking much for granted Hut
when one considers that green is a
harmless mold and as innocent as can
be. ones confidence rises. and we can
enjoy our bit Of cheese with clear
conscience.
There is a funny story about tho
first idea OF making this cheese that
may or may not be true However.
there is no reason why il should not
be SO,
In Germany, good many years ago.
a mother gaye her son some cheese
and bread for his lunch when he went
to a distant sheep-fold for the day,
One day he placed the sandwichci
under the shade of a rock, and, bus.-
ness taking him in ano.her direction
he did not return for the food, no;
did he go TO the place for several
weeks Then, being without ,oo
later on, he remembered the bread am

FARMERS ARE
STILL BITING
M'NABB AIRS OF
MORE FAKE
AGENTS
HOW THEY WORK IT
Suckers Seem to be Plenti'
fA in Oklahoma.

Secretary McNahb of the territorial /
board of agriculture, today received /
several more letters from various parts
of Oklahoma complaining of fake 80
Gerry agents who have been swindling
the farmers with their nefarious
schemes for the past year In every
instance the letter states that the
writer had been buncoed by these
agents.
These agents who are robbing the
fa-mers have been busly engaged in
their lawless work more noticeably for
the past few months than ever before,
although such schemes as they are now
working have seeU carried on for
wears. only on smaller scale.
The fake grocery agent has carried
the thingto the extent that notes and
chattei mortgages Cor Aig, amoOnts are
! t2Ren ny him with the promise 70 the
farmer thst he Jill purchase his pfod-
ucts at 3 high rate at certain date in
the future. When the farmer refuses
/ to pay these notes and mortgages the
papers are placed in the hands of
banks and collecting sgencies through
which medium the buncoed farmer is
forced to pay.
These schemes have been worked
recently to big extent all over the
territory The houses which the
agents claim to represent are located
in cities all the way from Kansas City
to Chicago and are usually known as
tea. coffee and spice companies,
\ one Of the letters received by Sec
lretary McNabb in regard TO this mat
ter is from a woman in Charley, Co
manche county, and is as follows:
MIR. McNabb, Guthrie. Okla. Those
agents that are work ng the farmers
are genuine swindlers. They were

states that the agent gave his nam
