| Breeders are coming more and more
to use newspaper advertising. They
do not expect immediate profitable re-

of times.
Community development and indi-

community goes to those of it's citi-

leaders of any locality are those who
advertise in one form or another. a
neighborhood is strikingly fortunate
when one of its members reaches out
and extends its viewpoint. When he
brings in new trade, he is building

SWindIers Seek to Rob Relatives of
Soldiers Through False kilograms
4 and Letters.

Washington, Feb. 26-Military and
postal officials are planning a vigorous
campaign against swindlers who are
again seeking to defraud relatives Of
soldiers through false letters and tele-
grams.
Complaints from relatives, it was
learned, are again reaching the depart
ment showing that Rehabilitation has
given a better opportunity for such
criminal operations.
The usual practice is for the swind-
Ter to obtain the names of relatives
Of a soldier from the published cas-
ualty lists. A telegram signed in the
soldiers name is sent saying he is
free to come home on furlough IL his
relatives will wire money for the
trip and in filing the message the
sender valves Identification and asks
his relatives to do the same Some
times relatives are asked to send the
money to the soldier, care of general
delivery at the city postoffice.
