OYSTER Farm Scheme.

in an oyster farm scheme worked through the
mails until Uncle Sam put a step to 1t and
sent the schemeTs to the Atlanta Pexstentiavy
for years.
The benefactOr Of the small investor nrst
tried his luck selling wsfthless lets On AN
town TO town, his departure depending upon
how long 1t took the first suspicious investor
to find out the fraud and put UP a hewl.
The constant necessity of skipping under
fire finally wore ON his nerves and he decided
to try an advertisement In the want ad sec
tions of few large papers. His first 81 read
much follows:
Ten dollars monthly invested In Florida oys-
ter culture pays estimated Income of $10e
a month until the end of the world; free in
formation $4,000 words including United
States Government quotations, Government
$4,000 survey sworn Statements
There were 1000 investors in every State
in the Union and even in Canada. "The Mil
honaire Oyster King" even went so far as to
have large signs erected Mt the entrance to
his home town.
He offered a milliOn-dollar guarantee bond
at $40 a month for Is years which the
income was to be from $1O0 TO $500 month.
The real trouble with his scheme and the
thing that aroused suspicion the fact that
he proposed to pay in annual profits twice
the total value of the entire oyster eFeP Of
the country.
He had expected to receive a total of 81
600 900 from his investors, and during the
progress of his scheme he was elected mayor
of his home town and announced his candidacy
for the governorship Of his State.

At night they study these. endeavoring in some
fantastic way to strike an average by which
they make a steady living. AS the wheels whirl
