THE TIpsTER-sHEET RACKET"

An article in the "Debunker" deS-
cribes the operation of the dishonest
stock-tipping "rackets" which defraud
innocent investors of millions annually.
The customary approach of the
stock selling shyster is to offer an
advisory service at a very "low price"
as an introduction" Well-worded
articles, giving analysis and advice,
prove to be sound. The investor makes
money.
Then an obscure issue is brought out
, The investor is called, no matter how
distant, on the telephone, by the
editor" who is, in reality, one OF
number of statesmen. Hot" informa-
ton is given the victim and again he
profits.
Now the tipster is ready for his kill.
The investor is told of the opportunity
of a life time. The editor has OBJ
tanned block promising stock at a
low price and will divide it among his
friends. Again the sucker" buys. He
goes in deeper as optimistic reports
are sent out. BY the time he is thor
oughly fleeced the stock is found to
be worthless. Usually the tipster has
disappeared.
Arrests are continually being made
but by the time the authorities take
hand, the money is gone. To avoid
such pitfalls the inexperienced invest
or should get advice from high class
brokers or investment bankers.

 He said the enemies of the tariff bill were seeking sectional benefits and were trying to enact legislation which would be destructive to the interests of the whole United States, as well as those of New England.
 Their intent, he added, was to place a high tariff on the agricul- tural products which New England CTS buy and to give low tariff rates to the manufactured goods sold by the northeastern states.

Only recently the entire stretch sank , inches in one week.
 The piece of road has been the source of infinite trouble. f lies on a principal state highway between rlattsburg and this village. in the sector between Nermontvile and Loon Lake. 1t lies in slight hol- low and over apparently firm ground. Huge trees find no trouble ir keeping thein footing on either hand, but boulders Of any size and earth hauled from long distances, sink out of sight with alarming rapidity.
 No explanation has satisfied the state engineers as 10 the cause. The terrain is slightly swampy. probably the bed Of former small Adirondack lake, but the size of the trees indicates that nothing or this sort has existed for more than l@0 years.

 At the same time, another de- cree has been issued stating that the Chinese New Year festival must not be celebrated in 1930.

 When the Nationalsts came into Peiping, they announced that no more feet must be bound, and that women with bound feet must re- move the bindings within three months. The same decreed of queues. But three months passed, and the decrees were not obeyed.
