Washington Democrat: A Dayen-
port cotton picking concern, engaged
Icstensibly in the manufacture of cot
ton pickers and oil tractors, has gone
to the wall with assets at 1924 and
debts amounting into the millions.
This would not bother us nor inter-
est us If it were not that $4,000 or
$4,000 have gone out of Washington
ana about $4,000 from the West
Chester Keota neighborhOod, and the
papers say most of ii from the small
investor, that is out of the savings
funds of farmers, business and pro-
fessional men. julius Burmeister,
whom we remember meeting, and who
smoked an especially strong pipe and
made friends easily, seems to have
been the chief Judas, that is, they have
steer at the packing houses whose
business it Is to lead the victims to
the shambles while he escapes. Jul
ius was the steer Judas. and led a
lot of good people into very 1unwise
investment. Ii is a great pity. Some
thing more stringent is needed to
guard against swindles of this sort
No wonder money is seven per cent
at the banks, no wonder banks have
to charge high rates. So much mon
ey is wasted that it makes it scarce.
/ The legitimate investor has to pay
bigger interest because of it, but
then, We presume folks will never
learn.
Shenandoah World: One Sunday
morning not long ago | saw young
! fellow-and a pretty good young fell
! low he is, too, going down the street

old fogy notions that a fellow really
oughtn't to go hunting on Sunday. l
know this conflicts with the higher
criticism idea that the Sabbath was
made for man, and that when a man
works all the week providing for his
family he has the perfect right to
take his recreation on Sunday, but
some way it locks to me like We
lose our respect for Sunday. Aud
then when | hear of a fellow having
an accident while he is hunting on
Sunday I always think his being
there that day had something TO do
with 1.-THE fellow WHO never goes
hunting on Sunday never has Sun
day hunting accident.
He owned handsome touring car,
to ride in it was heaven, he ran
across piece of glass, bill $14.97.
He took his friend out for ride,
twas good to be alive, the carbur-
etor sprung leak, bill-s4.95. He
started on a little tour, the finest
sort of fun, he stopped too quick and
stripped his gears, bill-$90.51. He
took his wife down to shop, to save
carfare was great, he jammed into
a hitching post, bill-$2.7S He spent
his little pile of cash. and then in
anguish cried: 'I'll put a mortgage
on the house, and take just one more
