Both partners are out Of it now.
Stacy has more money than he knows
what to do with, While Roberts, on the
other hand, was working for $18
week some time ago, having been
forced out Of business. Yet the house
they started is doing millions of dollars
worth of business all over the United
States. Roberts has already gone back
to where he belongs. How long can
such a house continue to live off short
sighted or trustful people7
"A while ago that house bought
5000 bicycles, all alike, for $3.50
each. They devised three different
brand names and sold one brand at
$16.25, one at $l2 so and one at

II know how one Of the biggest
mail order houses started. Roberts
was a watch peddler up in Wisconsin
and he was broke. He had to get to
Milwaukee, so he put up his own watch
as security for a ticket with the station
agent, whom we'll call Stacy. The
ticket man was shrewd enough to sell
the watch for twice the price Of the
ticket
STACY liked the game so he got
Roberts to express a dozen watches to
fictitious LANES at his station. Each
watch was billed at $25, the bill show
ing that $40 had already been paid.

loaded these at SIS each, for the peo-

watches cost $3.50 each. Finally the

The pair of schemers opened up
in Milwaukee and bought 1000
watches at So each. All were sent to
fake names in Illinois, Wisconsin and

ported them as undelivered they wrote
him some mistake had been made,
but as $40 had already been paid on
the watch they would pay him 50 COM

Hoodoing the Farmer

Just now the farmers all over the
country are being told what a bOn-
ANA "The Farm Loan" proposition
is for them as another "great achieve
ment" of so-called democratic admin
istration. Of all the cheap-john bunc
that has been handed the farmer for
years this is the cheapest. Again an
attempt is being made to hoodoo the
farmer into the belief that the So
called democratic administration loves
him with the undying love of JON
athan for David and again he is be-
ing given the kiss of Judas with the
assurance of an Ananias who is sure
ly "holding back a part" for the para
site who must have his no matter at
whose expense. The tentacles of the
so-called democratic administration
from president to constable are feel
ing for you, Mr.. Farmer, and Judas
has already counted his thirty pieces
of silver and is smacking his honey
ed lips with the Elysian prospect of
your easy betrayal. The Farm Loan
Ship is keel, barnacled with danger
to you, Mr.. Farmer Taxpayer, far
more reaching than the Regional
Bank" Colossus. 1t is well to give the
rattlesnake wide berth. Next week
the Citizen will tell you why.

portion of the county, which has
been very dry, was deluged with wa

other places it has been so dry moth

was very general and has done untold
good, especially to the grass.

It is interesting to contemplate just
what kind of explanation the so-called
democratic administration of Union
county is going to puke out upon the
people as to what it has done with the
more than twenty thousand dollars of
road money taxed out of the pockets
of the people. There are thousands
of taxpayers in Union county who are
not able to discover any material i'm
provements in their roads who are
wondering what has been done with
all this money and they are asking
for an explanation and no wheedling,
maudling, filibustering buncombe is
going to be accepted in lieu of facts.
1t is time for the PASTORAL poets with
bucolic inspirations to get on the car
net and pray their muses. for double
distilled inspiration of magic power
TO wand off the gathering storm of
indignation rising in the breasts of
taxpayers who have furnished the
gold with which to pave their roads
