The farmers are great deal more prosperous than they were few years back And nobody knows this any better than that suave and oily gentle man, the "bunco man."
 The farmers prosperity has made him shining mark for these gentry. The fake security man, the stock com pany promoter and the willy sharper is a mighty busy person just now and a great many of them are working the country" and working it hard. Do you recall the miracle wheat proposition of few years back? May be not by that name, for it had good many names. One of its aliases was Jerusalem wheat" Another was Egyptian wheat" However, the name doesn't matter much for it was all the same thing Most farmers will recall it, anyway,
 There were lot of wild tales told about it. It was represented as very old strain of wheat that has been brought back from the Holy Land by an Irish Pilgrim. Or it had been taken from the mummy of an Egyptian king that had been dug up under one of the Pyramids. Anyway, it was a mighty miraculous yielder and everybody ought to have some of it. It seems that there was no better wheat in the world and that every farmer ought to that there wasn't enough to go around.
 When the farmers would not fall for the story any other way they were told that if they would give $10 or maybe $20 bushel for the seed they could sell the whole harvest back ip> the fall for the same price per bushel that they paid for the seed
 Of course, some people bought and and paid for the seed. And they went ahead and sowed 1t and waited year full of trustfulness and the sharper who was to take the crop of their hands failed to show up. They found that they had very poor grade of wheat anyway, and it dawned upon them that they had been stung and stung hard and deep.
 Right now good many farmers are being offered all sorts of investments, oil stocks and plantation stocks and whole lot of other stocks. And most of these are offered in exchange for War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds. Many of them, too, are just about on a par with the miracle wheat" that came from Egypt or Pal estine. It will pay about such divi- dends. It is likely not to pay a cent one way or another In a few years it will be valuable only as waste paper
 The same United States government that more than year ago promised the American farmer $2.26 for his wheat, and is making good every day. is now offering to the farmer m in- vestment that Is just as safe as the wheat he grew on his farm this year after 1t Is stored in the granary.
 Here are the new Treasury Savings Certificates. simply development of the familiar War Savings Stamps These certificates are offered in de- nominations of $100 and $1.000 on the identical terms of the War Savings Stamps.
 Eighty-three dollars and eighty cents invested in August in a $100 Certificate will grown into $100 bill by January l. 1924 Multiply these figures by ten and the words will apply to a $1,000 Certificate Or the young sters, or the person with limited means to invest, may pay $4.19 for War Savings Stamp and on January l. 1924. 1t will be $5 bill These se- curities draw four per cent interest, compounded quarterly.
 There will be no passing of divi- dends, not a stock assessment, not a chance of any default in payments. The interest will be there waiting for you twice year. There will be no worrying over crooked management CT being forced out of the company in a reorganization. The United States of America does not do business in that way
 There is no risk and no gamble Just straight-out business proposi- tion to every man who invests in these government securities The company behind 1t is yourse6 and over 100000 900 other Americans who believe in keeping their word
 The earning power is eminently fair and reasonable when you consider the solidity and safety of the investment. 1t is far better investment than tho Jerusalem wheat" and other "crcps" that are being brought to your notice by the busy little stock eA1seusn - f- L "A lE
