NEW SCHEME TO GET
THE FARMERS MONEY

Here is a new plan to wrest two
dollars from unWary farmers: A
small advertisement carrying the
phrase, "We want to hear from own
ers having farms for sale" is offered
to farm papers. If it is printed the
farmer who responds receives letter
from the New Land Sellers Guide
Publishing Co., 721 Olive Street, st.
Louis. With the letter is enclosed a
printed notice attached to a self adj
dressed, stamped and sealed envelope.
The notice sets forth that the sealed
envelope contains names and address
es of 260 new farm land buyers. The
farmer is invited to open the en-
velope and send the company two dol
lars for it's contents, or drop it un-
opened in the mail box.
The impression is created that there
is a liability attached to opening the
envelope, unless two dollars is remit
ted. 1t is claimed that number of
letters sent to some of the alleged
260 guaranteed cash buyers have been
returned to the sender.-Agricultural

JUDGE KIBBEY, PIONEER
PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY

Judge Joseph H. Kirby, former ter
ritorial governor, eminent lawyer and
a pioneer of 36 years service to the
state, died at his home in Phoenis
Saturday.
Apoplexy, which seized the learned
jurist early in the day, ended his life
only a few hours later. He died at
$40 p. m. Funeral services were con-
ducted Tuesday from Trinity Cathe-
dral.
Stricken as he was preparing to
leave for his office, little hope for his
recovery was held out by DR.. Charles
S. Vivian, family physician. After
consulting with a group of other
prominent. doctors, his condition was
pronounced hopeless by Dir. Vivian.
Although II years old, Judge Kib-
bey had been active in the practice of
law, as the senior member Of the legal
firm of Kibbey, Bennett, Gust and
Smith, up to the day before his death.
The attack which proved fatal struck
him as he was dressing, shortly before
8io'cloek, telling him unconscious. He
never regained consciousness. With
consulting physicians, DR.. Vivian re-
manned with his patient during most
of the day, and although there was
little hope of his recovery every effort
known to medical science was made to
save his life.

WOOL PRICES SAG IN
EASTERN MARKETS

Wool prices are reported sagging
both in Boston and in the far west
Eastern buyers have materially reduc-
ed their buying limits for territory
wools, but are reported to be still
getting scattering clops on the lower
price basis. It is estimated that fully
rs 900, 900 pounds of the new clip have
been taken over, mostly Texas and
territory woods. Prices are reported
lower in all domestic primary markets,
with the exception of Texas, and
some grades are lower in that state.
In Ohio there has also been a decline,
and good clips can now be bought for
35 cents, or about 5 cents below the
going price last month. Not all the
state is yet down to that level, but
the tendency is in that direction.
In the Boston market, trading is
very quiet, with the exception of some
clearing sales of consigned territories
and old clip fleeces. In both cases,
prices have to be made on a parity
with what is being paid on current
purchases in the west. Nothing is yet
known as to styles and prices for the
coming lightweight worsted season.
Manufacturers are said to be as
yet undecided as to whether it will be
better to open the new lines early and
try to get some needed business to
keep their plants employed or wait
until buyers are ready, and possibly
secure a better business in that way.
Foreign advices seem to indicate a
softening of wool values. Germany
is reported having trouble in financ-
ing recent purchases Of wool abroad,
and shipments to that country have
held up to some extent Bradford
predicts lower prices at the July series
of the London wool sales if buying is.
