BOOK AGENT STOPPED.
In Attempt to Blk Linn County
Teachers.

S. B. Scott, deputy sheriff, aiding
and abetting A. B. Alderman, coun-
ty superintendent of schools, Friday
nipped in the bud a finely formulat-
ed plan to fleece the inexperienced
school teachers of Linn county. AS
a result of the actions of the deputy
sheriff six young women teaching in
the vicinity of Marion are to receive,
by an early mail, contracts they sign
ed for a book agent Wednesday, and
said agent has scratched Linn coun-
ty from his visiting list and shaken
the dust of the county from his feet.
The agent, who was selling six
volume set of books put out by an
eastern firm, started his work We'd
nesday morning. visiting schools near
Marion and taking orders for the
sets at the stipulated price of $24.7 )
a set. He did not take any money for
his books, but had the teachers sign
orders for them, promising their ear
ly delivery by parcel post. The or
ders were nothing more nor less
/ than cleverly drawn promissory
notes for the amount mentioned.
In some manner the agent had OBJ
tanned list Of Linn county teachers,
and in his arguments in favor of the
purchase of the libraries saiu that
the names had been given him by the
county superintendent, and that the
superintendent had recommended
the purchase of the volumes by the
teachers of Linn county.
Therein lay his vulnerable point.
Three of the six teachers approached
fell for the recommendation line
of talk and signed contracts for the
purchase of the books. The other
three showed signs of not buying and
the agent obtained their signatures
to the contracts by stating that he
wanted to take their names and adj
dresses in order that he might take
the matter up further during the next
few months, the work to be done by
mail.
Wednesday evening some teachers
who had been approached became
suspicious of the proposition after
they had recalled that the agent had
failed to show any credentials or {.
copy of Mr.. Alderman's supposed
recommendation and began calling
him to inquire about the proposition.
AS a result of these inquiries both
Mr.. Alderman and Mr.. Scott got on
the trail of the agent and today hail
ed him into the superintendent Of
flee where he confessed his scheme
and offered to return all Linn county
contracts obtained, providing the
matter be dropped. He also agreed to
make himself scarce in this county.
The offer was accepted, the con-
tracts returned to Mr.. Alderman who
is sending them back to the teach
ers, and the man proceeded to put
much distance between himself and
Marion.

A STORY BY JUDGE NEIL

Judge Henry Neil, father of mothers

club of Oak Park:
A city man riding along a country
road saw a lot of hogs running full
speed to dead tree, circle it once,
then run full speed to another dead
tree down in the meadow, circle it
once, then to a third dead tree.
Thinking the hogs had gone mad he
stopped and asked the farmer why
the hogs were acting that way.
WELL" said the farmer, Il used to
knock on dead tree by the barn
when 1 had the feed ready, but now
flock of woodpeckers are running
my hogs to death" :

We had eleven dogs between us. I
took a shot at the 'possum and he
fell on top of one of the dogs. He

the shot, for he made rush for lib

CONCERNING JUDGES.-n 1912;
the street car men had controversy
with the street car companies regard

not come to an agreement, so both
sides agreed to leave it to arbitration.
The men picked one arbitrator, the
street car companies one and those
two picked the third. What this board
handed the employees was so raw that
even the trust newspapers said it
spelled the doom of arbitration.
Judge Orrin N. Carter was the third
arbitor. He is candidate on the re-
publican ticket for reelection to the
supreme court. The Democrats did
not nominate any one against him,
