WARNING
BY LEO v. DOLAN
International News Service

Uncle Sam moved swiftly to-
day to crack down on racketeers
who are victimizing the middle
aged, the widowed and those OF
small means through glowing
promises of obtaining oil and gas
prospecting permits.
Flatly repudiating the scheme
as "a wildcat money-making
racket" the General Land Office
of the Department of Interior re-
vealed it has been besieged with
letters from persons on the vari-
Gus sucker lists" comprised most
ly Of the middle-aged of both
sexes and with a preponderance
Of widows.
In each case, the writer has
been solicited by representatives
of various associations" who
claim that they will, for a fee OF
50 to $3.50 per acre, file applica.
tions for the permits on behalf
Of the gullible. To the prospec.
tive victim is held out the age-old
bait of great opportunity for
securing large returns"
Warning Issued
With the avowed aim Of break
ing up the racket, the General
Land office issued public warn
ing. It said:
"NO association has been
authorized by this office to
carry on operations Of this
character. Authority has not
been granted to them to receive
filing fees in connection with
such applications, and any such
payment Of money is at the risk
Of the applicant"
Pointing out that subsidiary
offices are ready to furnish infor-
nation to prospective permit ap-
plicants without charge, the Land
office added:
"The only offices authorized
to receive such applications are
the various local land offices
located in convenient cities in
the public land States"

To Whom It May
Concern:

During our four years association
with Grace Chalmers Dahmes, as
teacher of our school, we have found
her to be a lady of fine personality
and habits. In matters pertaining to
school affairs, she has shown extra
ordinary efficiency.
Our School District No. 20 has the
highest rating of all the rural schools
in Redwood county, including villages.
Due to her supervision, our school
has been kept up-to-date in books and
modern methods of training. She has
had the highest commentator from
State Inspectors, and we, the School
Board, feel that she is the best quail
fed person in the county to fill the
office of County Superintendent, and
heartily endorse her.

Chairman.

technical school and the theme Of
decorations there might have to do
with machinery. construction, tech

larly known, is:
