the young man can make better head

home by sticking to the farm. 81

loss was very hard on me, but | made
another start and am now along
where l owe very little and in short
time will pay out. was raised on a
farm. l drifted back east to the
cities, but through the advice Of
friends came back to Kansas and
started again on the farm. There is
nothing in working by the day in the
city or any place else for that matter.
The wide.a.wake young man can
make more in 10 years on a farm
than a half dozen young men can at
work around the cities. Since |
bought my farm it has increased in
value considerably and by the time |
pay for it, it will have made me
nice profit in the natural increase in
value. And Kansas farm property is

no danger of it decreasing in value

pose Of it he will find it ready seller

SAL1NA, Dec. "a. ALFRED Sawnson,
q young farmer living four miles
southeast Of Assarla is the victim Of
sharpers, who, from all reports are
old hands at the game. When Mr..
Swanson was going down to his mail
box, which is about half q mile down
the road, man drove along and
asked him to ride. While driving
along the stranger asked Mr.. Swan
son il he would like to take the agency
for fire extinguisher and remarked
that he was going over to Gypsum
City to call on one Of his agents. He
explained to MIR. Swanson that the
extinguisher could be kept anywhere
and that he would be at no expense,
as the company would do all the adj
vertising and the customers would
call and get them from Mr.. Swanson.
The proposition made was that Mr..
Swanson was to sell the six dozen fire
extlnguishers at IS and was to keep
one third OF the money and give the
company two-thirds.
Mr.. Swanson agreed to the PROPOSE
tion and just before parting told tho
stranger he might bring the extin-
quishers and leave them in his barn
II he wanted to. A few days later an
automobile drove into the place with
three men in it, two in the back seat
and driver in front. They were all
strangers to Mr.. Swanson. A tall
man got out a receipt book, or what
Mr.. Swanson took to be one; receipt
was filed out and Mr.. Swanson signed
it. Just before getting into the auto
mobile the stranger gave Mr.. Swan
son copy of the ''receipt" and away
they went.
1t was note. When Mr.. Swanson
went into the house his wife looked
at the receipt. She saw instantly
that it was copy for note for $144
payable to N. Neagle at any bank in
Kansas City, Kansas. Mr.. Swanson
called up the Assaria bank and told
them not to take the note. All the
surrounding banks here have been
notified to be on the lookout for the
note.
