WASHINGTON, Oct ga scheme
for selling or buying stocks on the in
stallment plan has been put under the
ban by the postoffice department by
the issuance of so called fraud
order against the Guarantee securi-
ties company at Los Angeles.
According to allegations of postoffice
inspectors, the company was engaged
in the. purchase and sale of stocks for
people not having sufficient capital to
pay the necessary money outright
Payment for the stock was accepted on
the installment plan. Delivery of the
stock was advertised to be made when
all installments were paid 1t was
represented in the advertisement that
the stock would be purchased at pre-
vailing market prices and held until
the receipt ofsthe last installment
1t is alleged by the inspectors that
no attempt was made, to purchase the
stock ordered, although the money of
the purchaser would be retained. If the
market in the stock ordered declined, the
stock would be delivered to the pur-
chaser when the last installment was
paid but not otherwise. The in
spectors alleged that the concern was

the track and was severely injured.
Free was driving madly in an effort
TO recover lost time. and was running
eighth in the race. The curve is one
of the easiests on the course. but Robin
son was hanging well out on the side
to m-intain the cars equilibrium. He
lost his hold and fell, being taken
in an unconscious condition to the

injured man was rushed to the field

row and their little brood of baby SPAR
rows, which are just about old enough
to fly.
For three years the old shoe, care
lessly thrown into the tree after serv-
ing as a good-uck emblem at a we'd
ding, has been swinging in the branch
es, defying wind and weather. There
have been storms in the neighborhood
that have uprooted trees and broken
off their branches. but the tree in
which the old shoe has found lOdg-
ment has withstood all weather sieges.
Not long ago two sparrows came into
the neighborhood and started house
keeping in the Old shoe, which affords
them shelter and is sufficiently large
for the simple tastes of aerial Hat
dwellers.
Whether or not the great nation Of
birds is ruled by an ornithological
Roosevelt is not known. but certain it
is that Mr.. and Mrs. Sparrow are not
believers in race suicide, and since TAX
ing up their abode in the old shoe they
have raised large brood.
The Sparrow family has many OF
the comforts and conveniences of life.
The opening in the shoe serves all the
purposes Of a vestibule. The tip not
only makes fine piazza for the whole
Sparrow family in fair weather. but
makes fine swing for the Sparrow
children when the wind is gently blow
ing. Judging from the chirping, the
baby birds enjoy their fun just rs
much as human children might enjoy
an old orchard swing.
Residents of the neighborhood, even
the children. appreciate the situation
and every day one of the families
whose homes are near the tree leaves
out food so that the father and mother
bird need not send any of their brood

Feeding Meal Wet or Dry,

Many of our farmers seem to hold
the opinion that feeding meal wet to
their cows will bring better results
than when fed dry. One old farmer
makes the remark, "how can the cow
get any goodness out of a pan of dry
meal?" yet Notwithstanding the fact
that so many dairymen hold to the
practice of feeding the meal wet, the
experiments to date indicate that bet
ter results are obtained by feeding
it dry. Professor Jordan, of the Maine
Experiment Station, fed a bunch Of
calves corn and cob meal with long
hay in dry form, as against hay which
was run through a feed cutter, mOis-
tened and sprinkled with corn and cob
meal. The results were in favor of
the dry feeding The gain was great
er, and less feed was required for
100 pounds of gain. Professor Jordan
also conducted an experiment with two
herds of dairy cows, one herd was fed
dry feed, while the feed of the other
was moistened The greater yield Of
milk was obtained from the herd that
received the dry feed.
