Pumpkin Pie Scheme.
"Want something still better, eh::"
laughed the major. 1.-THE pumpkin
pie scheme will pay better than any
diamond mine in South Africa. but if
you var cent per mi for your money
III have to give it to you. Can't al
ways keep the good things for little
rings, you know. You know about
sheep. of course? You know they have
to be washed and SHARED before their
wool can be marketed? That has al
ways been Il matter Of cost and trou-
BILE. The problem of how to do away
with it has worried the brightest minds
OF the world eve since there was any
demand for wool. 1t was called to nv
attention only six weeks ago, but what
is the result? I took the problem under
consideration. and in twenty-four
hours saw my way clear to organic
ing and incorporating the worldwide
Crofoot substitute I stand today a

ready for removal. When shearing
time comes you drive your sheep into
a warm room. the wax melts. they
kick their fleece off. and there YOU are.
Tt" tleeces are gathered up and
washed by MACHINERY hundred
!eeccs a minute. You have heard Of
big things in this world, but did you
ever hear of a bigger thing than this
waxing. shearing and washing done
for + cents each. a saving of 90 cents
on every sheep? 1t is computed that
there are 100000 sheep in the
world. Look at the profit. Why. man.
if we don't divide 500 per cent among
us we shall be a sick lot Of men.
Stock is now selling at 900. but if you

The caller got up and walked around.
You must see what an investment I
offer you"
The caller looked out of one of the
windows.
Il might perhaps offer you the vice
presidency of the company at Il salary
