Are You a Beoaar7

All the beggars are not holding out a hand to passersby in the street You probably knov the man who is ever whining for help. If a farmer, be thinks his neighbors should help him get in his grain or do his blowing. If in business, he is always trying ts borrow or wanting some one to boost him or drum up customers. He never seems to think of relying on his owr efforts There is a well known fable about the larks in graiDfeld. As long as the farmer depended on hi4 neighbors and relations to come and cut his grain the larks felt perfectly safe. When the man determined ts cut the grain himself the larks knew it was time to seek safety elsewhere.
 There are times when every ons needs help. but help should be asked only when one has made every pose ble effort for himself.

cleverest fakes that has ever been per-

a week in Council Bluffs, Omaha and
South Omaha: He was selling-or
rather taking orders-for a hone that
could be used equally successfully
upon safety razor blades, old style
razors, kitchen knives, the family ak
or anything else that bore an edged
surface. The hone was named THE
Wizard" which cognomen the sales
mans victims are unanimously agreed
should be his appellation. The hone
which he used for a sample was about
2x4 inches in size, enclosed in a black
paper box. Accompanying the hone
was handle or clasp for holding the
blades while being honed. The sales
man claimed for his article everything
imaginable and he stood ready TO
prove it and did generally. Each per-
son who wanted one Of the homes at
20 cents per- signed an order. book, and
one of the latest fish to be hooked de-
clares that he had at least 1000 orders
Now then. While the salesman worked
hard taking orders he did not begin to
exhibit the activity which he did when
lit came time to deliver the goods"
With the aid of a local man all of the
homes were delivered in two days and
the salesman was on his way.
With 1000 or more new homes just
brought to town at least that many
people got busy at once. Some of the
users We're not at all satisfied from
the first attempt that the hone they
had bought was just like the sample,
and some Of the more inquisitive ones
tore off the paper covering, which was
tightly glued TO the hone, and found
"a piece of glass of the thickness of
about half an inch, and over the glass
had been placed a coating Of emery.
A few vigorous turns of the wrist soon
revealed the fraud
The entire outfit could not have cost
to exceed 10 cents, netting the fakir
profit Of 65 cents on each hone" Not

cities escaped and in most places
every man in the offices Who uses a
razor, bought Altho small in the single
case the job netted the salesman and
the manufacturers tremendous sum.
What other cities have contributed can
be guessed at from the success of the
fraud here. Travelling statesmen with

would lead people who were not ac-

believe that this was very unusual

a matter Of fact there was two sales
made in this vicinity previous to this
top Notcher" one at SOL and the 9TH

farm is Just an average farm, with an
average set of improvements. but has
been owned and farmed by good

today for 1925 per acre. So you can
