Gettine something for Nothing.
philadelphia Ledger.


Raids by postal officials have been fol-
lowed by the revelation that scores Of
millions Of dollars have been paid for
worthless stocks, known by the purveyors
TO be worthless. Yet, after all, the d s.
closure merely accentuates matter Of
common knowledge. People who are lured
by ford advertisements 20 invest in trash
are obessed by the most infrequent desire
to obtain something for nothing. This Is
accomplished only by the schemer at the
other end OF the transaction So far as
known, the ways OF getting rich, rudely
classified, include earning the money, in
henting 1t or stealing II. The first IS diff
ficult, and often impossible The second Is
a matter hardly within control Of the
beneficiary, The last Is precarious, and In
the end OF doubtful utility. There is no
avoidance OF the conclusion that some
worthy people are destined to remain poor.

time before the increased production OF
hogs offsets this condition
The market men attribute the relief

combined with the past high prices OF
pork, they say, have resulted, as was
expected, ia an increased raising Of
