AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate Agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes bid for his land
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named If the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
"agent" promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
tion is not contained in a contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy of
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one of them gave up 1920. Others de-
clare hotly that they will not pay but
they will make a fight in the courts.

"My baby had a running sore on his

edge he did, which inspired him to be
come the lawyer he did, it is another
laurel for the little city in southern
Indiana
Shortly after the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln a picnic party from
the little town of Dale went up to
Lincoln City to the Lincoln farm and
spent the day. The excitement &as
so high at that time that old people
as well as young went to the farm and
enjoyed themselves visiting the his
torical places in and about the Lin
coin farm.
The cabin was still standing and but
a short distance up ON the hillside was
a marble slab that marked the spot
where the good mother of Abraham
Lincoln lay beneath the sod While
there the picnickers went through the
cabin where Lincoln saw his mother
pass away and from which place he
returned to Kentucky to get q minister
to come to Indiana and bury his moth
er, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. A few old
relics were found, among them being
an old knot maui and an old fashioned
mouldboard plCw both of which had
been left there when the Lincolns
moved to Illinois The old plow was
brought outside and an old man by
the name of Gabriel Medcalf stood be-
tween the handles while one Of the
party caught a picture of the old Lin
coin cabin. The old man carrying the
pole was Joseph p. Haines, better
known as Uncle Porter Haines. The
picture of Lincoln's second log cabin
was made from the original taken at
the time this party went to the home
along in the seventies.

strong contrast to the beautiful
new structure that now adorns the
beautiful little town, stood in the very
spot where the new one now stands.
in the center of large court square.
1t was frame building; the architeo
ture was, to say the least, very novel.
A ditch, two feet wide and two feet
deep, was filled with smoothly l'awn
logs, on which was built a stone wall
1s inches high. This furnished the
foundation upon which the building
proper rested. The building itself
was never entirely completed. 1t was
weather boarded, but neither plastered
nor lathed. 1t remained in this condi.
ton until 1886, which was after the
Lincoln family had moved to Illinois.
1t was capable of holding only a hun.
dred people and could only be used in
the summer. In the night the cattle
which graZed about town would go
there for shelter. Such was the struc-
ture where President Lincoln received
his first impulse to become a lawyer
Here it was that he received his first
rudimentary practice in pleading cases
that afterward aided in making him
the lawyer of the reputation he had
1t was to attend court in this rudely
constructed building that the young
man walked 90 miles from Lincoln
City to Boonville, Ind. He was an
ardent listener and the lessons that he
painted upon his memory at this place
are the ones that inspired the great
man to become the lawyer he after
ward became. And, from this fact
the little town of Boonville claims the
distinction of furnishing to him the
material that aided in his after sue
cess.
To claim so great a distinction if it
could not be verified would be false
and unfair; but from the history of
young Lincoln while he was a visitor
here attending court, and from the as
surance that he received the knowl.

ago, Abraham Lincoln, one of the
worlds greatest men, was born. Some
merely give the celebration a thought,
but those who have made the life of
Abraham Lincoln a study, and those
people who live in Kentucky, Indiana
and Illinois look upon the birthday an
nlversary as something more than the
mere passing of a milestone. Each
of these states claims a right to being
the home of the man who has made
for himself an immortal name in the
history of the worlds greatest men.
Historians say that Lincoln was
born in Hardin county, Kentucky. In
fact, he was born in La Rue county.
which, however, is subdivision of
Hardin county Chroniclers continue
with their biographies and say that
he, together with his father. mother
and sister, went to Indiana and en-
tered claim to piece of land in
Spencer county. AS a matter of fact.
he entered claim to a piece of land
In Warrick county, but which has been
set aside and named Spencer county.
The Lfncolns went to Indiana in 1916,
the same year that Indiana was adj
mitted to the union as a state. He
entered quarter section of land, built
log cabin and lived there until 1890.
1t was known that Thomas Lincoln,
father of Abraham Lincoln, was in
poor circumstances. To say that Abra-
ham Lincoln was the son of a poor
carpenter and farmer gives an insight
into hard conditions that little Abe
had to face when he was youngster.
When he went to Indiana he was lust
