Editor POST
| noticed your paper pub
lished Wednesday October 4th,
made mention of the Motor.
cycle race at Wise, and gave
the machine | rode as racing
machine.
| wish to say in this connec-
ton that the machine | rode
was a strictly stock motor, 1914
model with 1914 cluch and car
buretor; the fork also was 1914
strictly stock, having had the
springs removed from it, the
tire, tank and frame were the
racing type. wish for your
readers to not be mislead along
this line, as | was not riding a
racing motorcycle, but merely
part OF n racing frame. The
engine has been il use here in
the County for over two ears
and is now in our shop, and
would be pleased to show it to
anyone and convince them it is
the same as all the 1914 twin
motors put out by the Hendee
Manufacturing Company dur
lug 1914 and 1918. There are n
great many boys, l think, that
do not know the difference in
a racing machine and a draft
horse.
You may publish any part OF
this letter you desire in your
next issue Thanking you, l am
Yours very truly,

DRUGGISTS JOIN TAN
LAC WEEK"
By Window Display and
Spirited Campaign for
More Sales. They
Endorse New
Remedy.

"Tanlac Week" is being cele.
brated in all parts of the coun
try by druggists who have the
agency for this remarkable
preparation in their respective
towns and here the Mutual
Drug Company has installed n
window display which is both
attractive and interesting.
For over 10 months this new
remedy has been advertised in
the columns of this paper and
the power of ADVERTISING when
properly done and placed in a
good newspaper is Indicated by
the tremendous sale this partic-
ular remedy has enjoyed local
ly AZ well as nationally.
II is interesting to note that
Tanlac is advertised only in
newspapers, yet its sales have
increased until now it has the
largest sale by millions of bot
ties of any medicine and drug
gists everywhere state that
they have had a greater de-
mand for this particular remedy
than for any other on their
shelves.
The Mutual Drug Company
takes great deal Of pride in
the fact that they were selected
as the local distributors for
Tanlac and the advertiser like
wise has expressed his pleasure
at having been successful in
securing this popular and enter
prising drug firm to handle it
The window display mentioned
above will be on display in the
Mutual Drug Company window
for several days.

WOULD DEFRAUD BY
RURAL CREDIT ACT
Many Fake Organizations
Throughout Country
Fleece Farmers.

Washington, d. O., Oct. IL
Seeking to head OF what they
believe is developing into one
of the greatest financial frauds
the United States has known,
the federal farm loan board to-
day asked the aid of the depart
ment of justice. Clear across
the continent,in a strip of states
from Virginia to California, tho
board reported to the justice
department, organizations, ei-
Their deliberately fraudulent or
at best illegal, have sprung up
for the purpose of defrauding
farmers through the latter's
ignorance of the new rural
credits act. In ono single in
stance, it is said, the farmers
have been victimized to an ag-
gregate of $3.50, 900.
Governors of states and men,
bers of congress have been
made unwilling parties to a
few of these illegal operations,
it is said, the promoters taking
advantage of them, as well as
of the farmers. Prominent men
in all walks of life have heen
involved, their names being us
ed in some cases simply to lend
responsibility. The board be-
lieves it will be able to prose
cute successfully. \ short time
ago it announced n ruling that
no proposed joint stock land
bank will be chartered if it has
spent money for promotion
This was designed to hold the
expense of operation down to q
minimum in order that the in.
terest rates to farmers may bt
the lowest possible.
In the face of this ruling, il
is said, promoters have con.
tinued to sell stock in the pro,
posed land banks and to take
parts of the proceeds for theil
own services. One of these con
GERS failed before it could have
even applied for a charter, but
1T had sold stock to the amount
of several hundred thousand
dollars to farmers. In MANY
cases the stock had been solo
with the understanding tina
the company is to apply for {
charter under the new Fedora
law, when there has been ne
such intention on the part o.
the promoters. The board to
day would not make public tn,
names of the concerns to which
it is calling the justice depart
ments's attention, and refuse t.
give their locations, save tina
by coincidence they have ap
peared in the belt OF state
across the middle of the coun
try, comprising some of tn,
most prosperous farming sec
tons.
