ASKS A DOLLAR
TO HELP ALONG
FREEPoRT (ILL.) BUSINESS MAN
HAS NOVEL PLAN.
Writes to "a Few Thousand Firms
Thruout Country Asking for Money
to Help Him Out of Difficulties
Helping Others Has Prevented
Him from Accommodating Largely"

Asking for 81 to tide him thru pri
vate financial difficulties and promising
to repay the sum with suitable inter
est, a man, representing himself as the
head of a large hardware company of
Freeport, ILL.,, has written to promi
nent Minneapolis firm. In his letter,
which appears below, the man states
that similar requests will be made of
several thousand firms thruout the
country. "
The firm which received the communi-
cation was surprised beyond descrip-
ton. Consultation of the mercantile
record showed that the firm of which
the, correspondent represented himself
to be secretary and treasurer, is rated
high the Al rating-and has an
$4,000 to $s5,0oo.' The name J. of the
man does not appear in the record, but
is used on the printed letterheads Of
the typewriter letter, which follows:
"A merchant appeal to his fellow
merchants. What follows has no refer
ence, directly or indirectly, to the com,
panX, which is in good standing and
credit, and of which I am an officer.
This is purely an individual matter, I
believe when a. man wants help, the
manly, straightforward way is to ask
candidly for it and all fair-minded bust
ness men will approve the course, rather
than slaughter his property.
my situation is this: am 50 years
old and have been in active business
some forty, years. Some considerable
success has attended my efforts. Help
ing others has prevented ME from &C.
cumulating largely. Some recent losses
have left me with property pledged for
debts which threaten to take it. II
occurred to me to appeal to few
thousand business men to send me 81
each, which would help me out of my
difficulties. AS soon as I am on my
feet again, 1 propose to send each helper
! what consider good value for the dol
| lar.'

ADMITS HE HAS PASS
George s. LOTUS Investigates Author
ship Of Farmers Appeal.

B. Sampson, farmer near Crookston,
sent a communicat ion to st. Paul pa
per recently arguing against govern
ment regulation of rates, and upholding
the railroads as friends Of the people.
George s. LOTUS, the St. Paul elevator
man, who is taking a leading part in
the shippers movement, wrote Mr..
Sampson asking him whether his judg-
tment was somewhat biased by the fact
of holding an annual pass
Mr.. LOTUS has received a reply in
which the Crookston man acknowledges
the corn. He says that when the Great
Northern asked him for the right-of-
way thru his farm he gave the COM
pany deed for the sum Of 81 and a
free pass for the rest Of his life. Mr..
LOTUS considers that his point is sus-
tanned and that Mr.. Sampson cannot
be ,cionsidered to speak for the thou
sands of farmers who do not hold
passes. -..,~ H., ."
