THE GULLIBLE

Uncle Sam has his troubles
protecting his gullible children
from the sad consequences Of
their open mouthed haDkering
after "sucker''bait.
For weeks past the Minneapo!-
is postofflce has been holding up
an average Of 10000 letters a day
each inclosing a dime, for which
the writer expected to receive
silk petticost, model 1917, worth
$4.75. The fly byniRht who adver-
tised this ridiculous offer has
long since packed his grip and
taken his departure to regions
remote, with suoh coin as reach
ed him before Uncle Sam learned
of his dime-colIectiug scheme.
He used the old, often exposed
chain letter system, by which he
expanded immensely the reach of
his original. obscure ADVERTISE
ment. Every customer for petit
coats at 10 cents apiece was re-
quIred to write to five friends,
telling them of the great oppor-
tunity, and to send their names
and addresses to the promoter of
the enterprise.
The chain got a good start.
When 1t will end nobody knows.
Meantime the post office has en-
ployed a force of extra clerks to
handle the bushels of letters and
to return the dimes to their fool
senders.
When will people learn that
value costs money? That some.
thing cannot be had for nothiu2?
That only swindlers of, $4 rs
worth for a dime?
La this instance the Individual
loss is small. The most serious
aspect of the matter is the trouble
and expense to wh'cn thegovern-
ment Is put to saw its fool citi.

venturiug of dime on such a
proposition is the same folly that

A HOMEMADE PAPER.
THURSDAY, JAN. ID. 1916

The new Board took office last
Friday night, and started off on
the New Year as though they
meant business. One of their
first official acts was the appoint
ment of n Committee to see Wn.
Eaton, Jr who was elected Town
Marshal at the recent election,
and to arrange with him TO
assume his duties as soon as pos
sibie. They also empowered a
committee to have the Jail put
IN shape, so that there will be a
place to put prisoners instead of
having to turn them loose, after
a conviction. The new members
appear to be of a conservative
nature, not seeking to put undue
expense on the citizens, but still
anxious to do what they consider
best for the welfare of the town.

the question of penalties collect.
ed by the sheriffs of various CO.

before the LIST day of December.
IL has been customary for the
sheriffs to retain this penalty,
but the Attorney General states
the money rightly belonged to
the State, and he will take steps
to try and collect for some years
back, as we'll as in the future.
This will make a difference of
several thousand dollars a year

drawn illegally, as no appropria
ton had been made for the Com.
mission at he time of its crea-
ton, aud was used in payment
of telephone and telegraph tolls,

also recommended that If the
work of the Commission is to be
carried on, the Legislature should
make some appropriation for its
maintainence, as no more war.
rants should be drawn on the
State Treasurer for money for
this purpose. There is no doubt
trait the Illiteracy Commission
has done an inestimable amount
of good, both in this and other

Government Report Intensifies
Black Rust Scare.
Unprecedented Damage Cuts
Supply From Northwest.

Washington, Aug. "a. - Black
rust probably will be the cause of
sending wheat prices soaring to un-
heard-of levels. with the coming of the
spring wheat output, according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture today. One official said So wheat
now appears probable.
One of the most severe epidemics
in this black rust ever recorded has
swept the wheat belt of the north
west with unprecedented damage, pre-
dieting a production far below normal.
Commercial reports arriving at the
department not only substantiate the
predictions of the government ex-
perts, but it is said tend to place the
loss at a far greater figure, with cor
respondingIy high prices certain for
the fall and winter. The infested
area-Minnesota and the two Dakotas
produce. it is said, the greater part
of the spring crop.

New York Aug. 24.-Despite a be-
lief that infantile paralysis seldom at
tacks more than one member of the

United States public health service
show that in 227 families here that
more than one child has had the dis
ease. In more than 200 of these fam
lilies only two children were afflicted
while in 20 families three children
have suffered attacks. In one family
there were five cases.
Nevertheless, the health commits
sioner asserts that the great majority
of the children is not susceptible to
infantile paralysis. OF the first seven
thousand cases only 3.36 per cent were
those of children whose sisters or
brothers previously had the disease.

Of children's clothing or toys after
they have once been delivered, in order
to prevent a spread of the epidemic in
that way Some of the department
stores refuse TO accept returns of any

infantile paralysis have occurred. The
department of health, however, has
made no ruling on this matter
Health department officials were en-
couraged by today's reports on the
epidemic which showed a substantial
