SCHEME TO SN|NDLE
THE HONEST FARMER
City Fellows Staying Awake at
Night Hatching Schemes to
Get Hard Earned Coin
Away from Farmers

Another scheme for swindling the
farmers of the United States has been
discovered by the Federal Farm Loan
Board. A man advertising himself as
IN authorized organizer of national
farm loan associations is sending out
advertising matter emblazOned with
the national flag, stating that he will
organize such associations at $500
each, and will teach others the trick
for q certain sum of money. His adj
vertisements have reached farmers
and business men over large part Of
the United States. He claims to be
so busy organizing national farm-loan
associations that he needs help, but
will take time to teach others for a
monetary consideration.
All such representations are fraud
ulent. In order to borrow under the
farm-loan act, it is necessary for
farmers to organize cooperative ma
tional farm-loan associations in their
local communities. 1t is violation
of u ruling of the Federal Farm Loan
Board, published more than a year
ago, for q national farm-lOan assO-
citation or a joint-stock land bank to
spend any money for promotion pur-
poses. Associations thus organized
will not be chartered by the Federal
Farm Loan Board. Farmers are
warned therefore against anyone ask
ing fee for his proffered services in
connection with applying for a loan
under the Federal farm-lOan act.

QUAPLW POsT-0EFICE
STOLEN AND MOVED
Unknown Persons Transfer Of
fee From Old to New
Town During the
Night

We have heard of all kinds Of rob-
berries, hOldups, and thievery but the
following from Quapaw, Okla, just
about captures the bakery, buns, cake
and all:
"Some unknown persons "stole" the
Quapaw postoffice in the early hours
Of the morning and moved it from
near the Frisco station to a new
building next to the opera house on
Main street in "new" Quapaw. The
change is said to have been made with
the aid Of four motor trucks.
"Mrs. Gladys Jennison, the post
mistress, today declared that the first
she knew of the change was when she
was notified yesterday morning that
her office was to be found in it's new
home. The new office was equipped
with all new furniture and fixtures.
No one seems to know where these
came from or how. The old fixtures
were caIted to the new Office and
stored there.
The office had been in its old loca-
ton for more than twelve years.
II is claimed that a contract has
been entered into by the postoffice in
spector, o. C. Peers, with Mayor B.
C. Villiars of Quapaw whereby the
mail will be delivered free of charge
to the new location. 1t also is said
that the new building has been offered
to the government rent free for a
year if the change is approved.
"The office was moved a distance of
half mile east and one block south.
"The building in which the office is
now located is owned by r. N. Bing-
ham. The office is known as a third
class office.
"This is the second postoffice to be
stolen" in this district within the last
sin months. The office ut Picher was
removed to a new location last fall. A
storm of protest followed its removal,
but it has been kept in the new quar-
tiers.
Persons who reside in "old" Qua
paw are indignant at the change, but
it is not expected that they will take
violent measures to move it back, as
it is believed the job of moving waa
with the knowledge and consent OF
the postal authorities"

TO STOP LOSS OF
i5O,OOO,OOO EGGS

Over 15O,OOO,OOO eggs will be lost to
the food supply Of the United States
if the old practice of sending hens to
market at this season is continued.
Figures compiled by the poultry spec
ialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture show that more
than 100000 laying hens, each cap
able of producing 30 eggs, are sent to
market from the Southern States in
the winter and early spring.
Every effort, therefore,. is being
made to encourage farmers to keep
their hens until after the spring lay
ing season, thereby getting a dividend
for keeping the hen through the win
ter. The specialists point out that
when a hen is sold for meat early in
the spring, the farmer gets no egg
return for feeding and keeping her
through the worst months of the
year.
Moreover, the hen is marketable as
poultry after she has produced her
spring eggs. Poultry in May brings
cents a pound less than it does in
February, but, they point out, the 30
eggs produced by the hen, largely
from wastes, more than Offset any
reduction in the price offered for live
poultry.
An energetic campaign to prevent
early slaughter Of the hen that Gays
the golden egg" is now being con-
Quoted throughout the Southern
States. North of the Ohio River,
farmers have long. appreciated the
advantage of getting the spring crop
Of eggs and marketing their hens
after the laying season or in the fall.
They believe that adoption Of this
plan BY southern chicken faiSsFH Win
be profitable and viii materially odd
to the feed supply Of the NHtien.

GALENA SOLDIER
BOY MURDERED
Funeral Services of Private Ira
Addy Conducted At Galena
Yesterday-Many Flor
al Offerings

The body of Ira Addy Of Company
NJ, 52nd Infantry Of the regular army
stationed ut Chattanooga, Tenn, ar
rived in Galena Saturday night. A
delegation Of non-commissioned Of
ficers Of the Galena Home Guards met
the body ut the train.
Addy left camp Tuesday afternoon
for the little town of Chattanooga
where he purchased some stationery.
That night at 10 o'clock he was found
dead on the Chattanooga road. He
had been shot through the back three
times with a small caliber gun. His
murderer had evidently been close up
on him when he fired as the body was
powder burned. In the attempts to
identify the body all trace Of the muir
derer were lost. The camp was i'm
mediately searched and placed under
guard and all who had been out that
night were closely examined, but no
trace of the murderer could be found.
Addy was quiet boy, often going of
alone rs he had on this occasion. He
was one of the best sharp shooters in
his company. 1t is believed that he
must have come to his death ut the
hands of q German sympathizer.
Bloodhounds were put on the trail but
the scent had practically been wiped
Que in the attempt to identify the
body.
The body was given q military
funeral in Chattanooga and was ac-
companied to the train by his COM
pany with n military band and fir
ing squad.
Sergeant Henry Vogel, of Addy's
company accompanied the body to
Galena where military funeral was
held at 2 o'clock Mon. afternoon. A
large crowd gathered in the Presby-
terian church to witness the services
which were conducted by Rev. l.. ].
Coats.
A profusion of floral offerings
showed the respect and appreciation
which the Galena people gives to this
the first Galena boy to nobly give his
life for his country. The Red Cross
chapter sent as their offering large
red and white cross of flowers, and
the business men sent an American
flag of flowers. Many beautiful
wreathes and boquets were sent by in
dividual organizations.
A large automobile cortege accom-
panied the body to lis final resting
place in the Oak Hill cemetery, where
after q volley was fired, taps were
