town and put up at the best hotel.
The next morning they secured a rig
each and started out over the country
asking the farmer folks for chicken
for an orphans home In 81. Louis.
After two days begging they sold the
chickens to local produce man for
$50 and left town. Their loot included
several cash donations.
A variation OF the scheme Is for a
man. wearing some sort OF badge. to
call on the farmers under the name
Of the Department Of Health and de.
mand to see his poultry. After ex-
animation he condemns twenty or
thirty hens and tells the farmer they
will have 10 be killed because they
are diseased. He very kindly offers
10 take the chickens and do the killing
himself. II the farmer consents. the
man takes the chickens to the near
est commission merchant and sells
them. The scheme Is being worked
all over the country. II a man or
woman calls on you with a demand
