Swindler Poses as Farmer

A clever check artist slickered mer-
charts of Mason City Friday when
he reversed the usua9 process of
gold bricking and instead of plying
his trade dressed in the latest fash
ion, made up as a farmer and cash
ed checks promiscuously over the
city and got away with it. One
merchants ear was won when the
man, giving the name of Henry Ma
son and saying he was a farmer re-
siding near the city, entered in an
old duck coat and blue denim over
alls and bought several articles. This
merchant was hit for S68. The check
writer then disappeared and later
entered the scene attired in another
farmer getup. This time another
prominent merchant met loss of
S62 on his, bad check. Other mer-
chants in the city were stung for
similar sums and a whole host for
smaller ones. Police and the sheriff
are searching for the man. His
checks all were forgeries, they say.

KEOKUK GIRL MADE $100.27 ON
HER HOGS
Story of What Young City Miss
Did This Summer.

Keokuk, Iowa-Margie Cox, IA
year-old girl, is the winner of a sill
yer cup offered by the Keokuk Ro-
tary club to the boy or girl of the
garden and poultry and pet stock
clubs of the Keokuk schools, who
has made the best record during
the year.
Miss Cox a-year ago an the spring
purchased two pigs for $40, bor-
rowing the money. Last fall she
traded the pigs for a heifer calf
and one pig. She sold the six
young pigs in the fall litter this
spring to butchers and, after paying
back the loan and buying feed and
the like she found that she had
$100.27 to deposit in the bank.
She also found time this summer
to make garden and take care of
thirteen young pigs and the heifer.
She hauled three barrels of water a
day from a creek near her home on
the edge of town to water her gar
den and she hauled garbage and but
termilk for her pigs.
The Rotary judges had a field
of six to choose from but decided
that this young woman was entitled
to the cup which was presented to
her.

draw back so shrinkingly from the

gentleman, has acquired poise and
self control that should be a wonder
