Swindlers in Stevens County.

swindIers in Stevens County.
Only few weeks ago a slick re-
preventative of the Farmers General
Service Co., of Minneapolis, appeared
in this county and sold what purports
to be a membership in the concern.
This membership entitled the pur-
chaser to the services of the company
in the purchase at very low price OF
all desired commodities, and to sell
the farmers produce at a high price.
It also purported to deliver to the
the purchaser free veterinary advice
and such other service as required In
operating a successful farm. The
membership was good for five years,
and the cost was $135 for which
notes we're accepted. In reality the
purchaser bought what appears to
be worthless medicine cabinet hold
ing a few bottles containing more or
less harmless drugs. So far as can
be learned today at least six we'll
known farmers near Morris were TAX
en- in on the game. $135 for few bot
ties Of dope looks like pretty high
price and shows that the General Ser.
vice Company serves good and plenty
when it serves at all.
That the old swindle is being work
ed overtime in Stevens county was
brought to the attention Of the Nor
ris National bank in this city the first
of this week. One of the parties who
now owns a membership and a medi
cine cabinet for which he gave his
note, called at the bank to have re
mittances and correspondence ad
dressed to the service company's Of
flee at 1874 North LIST St. Minneapolis
The letter was returned to the banl
marked fraudulent" and could mo-
be delivered.-Morris Tribune.

tied down in the train to read, and,
feeling drowsy after trying day at

the rack, it fell, alighting on the lit
tie mans shoulder, and grabbed his
ear to steady itself.
