WARNS AGAINST
MARKET Tips

The "tipsterH sheet method Of
stock swindle is today the largest
and most dangerous guise of the
eet-rich-quick schemers operating on
q national scale that when event.
ually exposed will make the great
Texas oil frauds of a few years ago
seem petty. This prediction is the
consensus Of opinion expressed oy
managers of AZ better business
bureaus when gathered recently at
Chicago in the annual conference
of the Affiliated Better Business
Bureau, Inc, attended by Director
Louis RothschiId of this city.
Tipster sheets are bogus stock
market advisory services, which,
in the guise of impartial advisers,
mix general market observations
with specific recommendations OF
stocks in which they are interested.
Some act as brokers or dealers
in such stocks, while others refer
orders for execution to their con-
federates, operating from New York,
New Jersey and other places; these
promoters play upon psychology
and follow up their printed "ser-
vice" with long-distance telephone

hundreds of long distance telephones
of this type are coming into Wash

have been filed with the local Better
Business Bureau ranging from a

than 5000 to a prominent physician
who has lost over $4,000. Nearly
every one in Washington who has
ever been indiscreet enough to buy

upon a sucker list has been tho
subject of -"tipster" solicitation.

fraction over four per cent and may
reach five per cent when graduate en-
rollment has been completed.

GOVT OF THE MUD"
MINNESOTA FARM
BUREAU is URGING
Farmers Organization Joins in Fight
For One-Third Of the Gas Tax
for Use on the Secondary
Roads.

Adopting as their slogan, "Out of
the Mud" members of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau have enlisted actively
in the fight for better roads for rural
communities now being waged by the
sponsors of Amendment No. 1.
The amendment would authorize
the use of q third of the proceeds Of
the gasoline tax on the secondary
roads and would enable the counties
to improve hundreds of miles of roads
which cannot be improved at present
with the great burden of local tax
alton. 1t would give a minimum OF
$4,000 year and a maximum OF
$4,000 a year to this county for use
on the secondary roads. At present
all the gasoline tax receipts go into
the trunk highway fund along with
the motor vehicle tax money.

views on important problems because
of party expediency. History has
shown that it is frequently embar-
RAISING for legislators to be confronted
with campaign speeches which are
sometimes Numerically to the legis-
lative subject they are sponsoring at
the Capitol. Hence, the radio audi
ences assembled in clubs and private
homes in Washington derive consider
able amusement in analysing cam
paign oratory and the personality
back of it.
Politics is leaving its mark on the
social season in Washington. Of
fetal hostesses and their, social Sec
retaries are experiencing considerable
difficulty in arranging functions at
which real personages will be on the
guest list. The official set has a
small representation here now be-
cause of the demands of political
parties in each Congressional district.
The diplomatic set has the largest
representation, although many for
eign ambassadors are still in their
native lands. The official receptions
at the White House will be advanced
this year owing to the short session
of Congress and the fact that new
regime will take over the Executive
Mansion on March 4. This means
that the four large receptions and
numerous Cabinet dinners which are
given at the White House and homes
of Cabinet officers must be scheduled
before the Coolidge Administration
turns over the keys to the choice of
the American voters.

CHAPTER XIII



Selwood got back without further
incident, and deposited his queer
looking bundle with care inside Q cup
board in the harness-room. Scott had
returned and had covered the River
quarter, unmolested. His report con-
frmed all information that Bunty
Bartoe's place had not been burned,
and, Scott added, was now noisy with
Starbuck's following, who. passing IN
and out, were celebrating their vic.
tory.
"Is Starbuck therer asked Parda.

moving from face to face Of those lis
tening about him. "Where's Bull
Pager" he asked after q moments
thought. "Get him here quick"
Facing Selwood within q moment
and alone with him In the Office, the
dilapidated but amiable Bull looked
as surprised in being summoned at
such a moment by the boss 40 the
other men were.
Selwood spoke to him kindly and
without haste, and asked an odd Ques-
ton: "Bull, you haven't done the
world very much good in your

Bull saw a flash Of humor In the
suggestion. "That," he returned, his
