AS James Michoe, 13 years old, OF
lS9 Main street, was riding his hicy-
Gle opposite 239 Main street. Wednes-
day afternoon, he passed two collie
dogs playing on tho opposite side of
the street. One of them, said to be
owned by J. L. Ferland of 10 Brook $
street, ran out and bit the boy on the
leg, which was considerably laccrated
by the teeth of the dog. The 10y was
and several stitches taken, after the
wound had been properly treated. The
other dog, said to be owned by How :
ard NJ. HanscOm of is Edward sire It,
had no part in the trouble.
Robert, the two and one half-year
old son OF Mr.. and Mrs. clyde '.

by a dog Wednesday. While the bite
did not lacerate the flesh it was a
severe one, and the little boy was

from the little playmatcs of the

keting scheme in South Jersey, the
attempt to eXtort easy money from
farmers in this section OF the State.
1t is stated that several arrests are

Warming of this has been sent
throughout the State to farmers by
Col. H. Norman Schwartzkopf, head
of the Jersey Constabulary.
Farmers in this section told the
police that a a representing him
self as the agent. of a cooperative
purchasing organization made up of
thirty Atlantic City hotels, visited
them soliciting an opportunity to pur-
chase market products, stating his
organization would eventually take the
entire products of such farms.
The man asserted, however, that in
order for a farmer to enter the organi-
cation, ii was necessary to purchase
stock in the hotel cooperative associ-
alton. The stock was sold for SO a
share.
The stranger told of a large refrig-
Grafton plant to be erected by the
hotelman; of a slaughter house re-
Gently purchased in West Virginia and
an entire creamery in Pennsylvania.
When farmers reported the matter to
the State Bureau of Markets an inves-
LEGATION followed which disclosed the
fraud.
