TWO SUCKERS.

Dispatches of recent date tell Of the
fleeing of two Iowa farmers by u
ruse that for sheer nerve and brass
ON the part of the perpetrators and
gullibility on the part of the victims
beats any fraud that was ever perpe-
trated. A chap of the name of Hag-
gins met the grangers on a train
scraped an acquaintance with them
and so won their confidence that he
got them to send him small sums TO
bet on horses in Chicago. OF course
the races on which the money was bet
PANIED out right. and the stake and
winnings were returned TO the farm
ers This fired their eupidity. and
shortly after they received word to
raise all the money they could and
send 1t to Haggins, as u race was to
be pulled OFF on which they were sure
to win. They mortgaged their farms
for $1,000 each, sent the money to the
stranger and in a short time received
word that they had won and that
they could have their money by going
to Kansas City. They went thither,
but found no Haggins and no money.
Today they are lot wiser but CON
siderably poorer financially.

THE CITY MARKET.

In many cities Of tie land the prices
of the necessarles of life have been
forced to such height by shortage IN
supply, greatly aggravated by the IN.
Just increase levied by middemen.
that the mayor and councilmen have
taken the bull by the horns and In
many cases established city markets
where truck gardeners can 20 with
their fresh produce and where con-
sumers can buy their supplies Of
fruits and vegetables. Under this
market system growers not only get
Just as much for their stuff as they
did before, but consumers are enabled
to buy at prices from 20 to 40 per
cent lower than they were prior to the
establishment of the market. In In
dianapolis the mayor took matters Into
his own hands and bought potatoes
and sold them to consumers at cost to
break a combination OF commission
tax on the people. II commission
men suffer as a result Of this new
movement they have themselves to
blame and no one else. The consum-
Ing public IS willing that middemen
should receive a fair profit for han
ding produce. but when the prices Of
1t are advanced outrageously by sim
ply passing through their hands folks
can hardly be expected to put up with
the imposition. 1t would seem, there
fore, up to the middlemen as a class
to correct this abuse or be put out Of
business to a considerable extent

1.-THE GOOD OLD TIMES"

Not a few elderly folks are wont
still to refer occasionally to the good
old times" In many ways they were
good, for folks had, or, at least, took,
a little more time to breathe and en-
joy llfe's best things as they went
along. Then, again, in some other re
spects the old times were not 50 good.
An incident illustrating this truth was
narrated to the writer the other day
by a friend who Is near his seventeen
year. He owed a rich money lender In
his neighborhood a hundred dollars or
more. To meet this obligation he de-
cided to sell his hogs He found the
market price was 90 cents hundred.
To save his bacon to the fullest posi-
Bile extent and to save hauling expense
he drove these hogs eight miles
When he rendered his creditor the
hardly earned proceeds from the sale
OF these porkers the Inter replied that
he was In no hurry for it and really
didn't need 1t.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS IN POUL
TRY

Investigation into an outbreak Of In
fantile paralysis not far from where
the writer lives points quite conclusive
ly to the fact that the disease was cou-
tracted from chickens on the place, a
number Of which had q short time be
fore died OF disease which bacteria
logical examination showed was due to
germs that cause infantile paralysis.
The chickens affected first appear dunn
Ply. lose the use of their legs, then lie
around on their sides for several days
and finally die. In the outbreak refer
red to not only young poultry, but
young pigs and one calf were attacked
by the disease. The disease seems to
have been transmitted to the children
of the nelghborhood through the medi-
um OF flies which fed on the carcasses
Of the chickens and later infected food
which the children ate The case In
question points plainly to the necessity
of burning or burying deeply the bod
les of all chickens that die from the
disease and a further warfare on all
flies about the premises. AS this para
lytic disease has appeared in chickens
no cure has rs yet been found for 1t.
