Farmer Carries
 $155,OOO in Grip

Los Angeles, March 27.-Until a few days ago Adam J. Faulkner was Texas farmer working long hours for his cornbread and bacon. Then prospectors for oil offered him $155,- 900 for his land. Always careful man, Faulkner insisted on cash. So they paid him in greenbacks.
 With the $155,OO0 in suitcase, MT. Faulkner arrived in Los Angeles yesterday and put up at the Hunt ington Hotel.
 No, he didn't lose his suitcase nor buy gold brick. He divided the money in three banks. Then he sat down and figured how he could make it into a million.
 He has some unique ideas of get ting the million, one being the or ganization of serial taxicab route between here and New York with female drivers.
 Another is to grubstake young men in the professions and then get a rake-off on their annual earnings. He is no conservative.
 "Td rather slap hundred thou sand into a chance than drill along with solid investments" he pro- claims. Look how l got my money "a gamble! I'll gamble; I'll take chance. I'll try anything!"
 The Young Ladies' club of the First Methodist church will give an Easter.
