Fools and Their Money.

George News: The lure of greener
fields applies to men as well as to
beasts. The farmers who had stable
bank rolls, as well as the business
men who had worked so hard for their
few thousands that the prospect Of
| easy money" blinded their eyes to
facts and warped their judgment,
thought the wild horse" business was
worth investing in and now they are
telling their experiences in federal
courts. One man spent $4,000 for a
herd of wild horses and he finally cap
tured three NANCY brutes and sue
ceeded in getting one home alive.
Others had similar or worse exper-
fences. There isn't any such things
as "easy money" Maybe if you can
hit the right side Of the market in
time you can pyramid your winnings,
but only a fool has sense enough to
stop in time. DR.. Mckinney says a
man who owned three good quarters
near his farm in DeSmet, S. D., vicin-

| last year and after pocketing the
! 81 900 proceeds from his sale he trad
ed a quarter and the biggest part OF
! the $1,000 for 200 acres of Texas land
at 5000 an acre Then he went south
to farm. His land in Texas has lost
him money. and the greener fields
have proved to be very barren and
brown If the man can get out with
a fraction Of what he possessed before
he bought his Texas land he will be
very, very lucky Promoters Of every
kind are after your money. Some
have very plausible propositions
Some can figure paper profits several

boys are going to do all of the work
this summer, and the proceeds will
be given to the Red Cross chapter.
1t is estimated that 200 bushels Of
beans can be harvested from this
plot.
The offer was made to the Boy
Scouts through a man who has been
very much interested in garden work
in Keokuk. He secured the offer of
the use Of the ten acres back of the
cemetery, and proposed his plan to
the boys. 1t was to prepare and
plant the ground under direction OF a
competent person, and to cultivate
the crops during the vacation time
and to harvest the beans in the fall,
turning over the proceeds to the
work Of mercy.
The scouts took kindly to the idea,
and are already at work. The boys
are being worked in shifts Of twenty
to twenty-five and each boy will be
responsible for something like half
acre. The work is under the super
vision of Henry Stricken
The land is good for bean culture,
and the boys are going to put their
best efforts into raising good crop.
The beans are in demand because of
the fact that they are staple articles
of food for the army and navy, and
the fact that the boys are thus help
ing to raise crop for their country,
and also helping to make money
