riett Metz Livermore was subpoe-
naed for examination today in con-
nection with suit demanding re-

time maker of millions, had de-
frauded creditors by transferring
large sums of money and quantities

that Mr.. Livermore, who commit
Ted suicide last November %, had

en- I have ever met"

The Low Down On
HICKORY GROVE

It is not so long since the
Pony Express, but it is long
enough so folks now do not
know what it would be like to
have no railroads, or banks,
or electric lights, or running
water-and you have to shave
bv a mirror hung on a tree by
the creek.
Our grandpa had plenty to
worry about. like tomahawks,
and such, but even so. 1t was
not 50 much different from to-
day.
If you have a bank, or a pow
er-house or about any kind OF
business today, you got a bunch
of Potomac Indians circling
your camp.
And the latest I read is about
the Govt. there in Oregon and
the Northwest, threatening to
scalp all the little outfits al
ready there in the electric bust
ness. And the paper says that
one Govt. plant at Grand Cou-
lee, about a third finished, will
cost, complete, 400 million.
But there Is a flicker Of light

Fur Cout Racket
Worked In State

Bogus fur coat statesmen are
active in Montana selling cheap
fur coats to women on the pre-
tex that they are top-grade
skins, it was announced re-
Gently.
Through the investigation OF
fur smuggling activities, accord
ing to Kenneth F. Roahen
United States Game Manage
ment Agent, the fur coat rack
ct is costing the American
housewives thousands of dol
lars annually. Fur coat statesmen
travel by automobile, selling
these fur coats from house tc
house. The coats being repre-
sented as fine quality garm-
ents.
The salesman's usual line of
salestalk, is that the coats have
been smuggled into this country
thus avoiding the payment of a
heavy duty, and they can save
the prospective customer this
money.
The salesman will, of course,
put a price on the coat in &C
cordance with what he may
think the prospective victim can
afford to pay, but before a sale
is lost. he may reduce the price
to as low as $500.
In addition to the direct sales
racket, they have an additional
racket. The housewife may have
a good quality fur coat, per-
haps only worn a short time
and possibly worth $3.50 or 5000
as a trade in value. The smooth
salesman will examine the coat
and accept it in trade, perhaps
with a little additional cash, on
one of his supposed high quality
coats, or he may offer one OF
his coats and a small amount
of cash for the housewives
coat.
After the housewife has worn
the newly purchased coat two
or three times, or if she will
take it to a legitimate fur deal
er for examination, it will soon
be discovered that the sup
posed fine quality fur coat she
has just purchased, is nothing
more than dyed rabbit skin,
which costs the salesman ap-
proximately $3.50 or $4,000 in
New York City. or other cities.
However, it is then too late, the
salesman has moved to parts
unknown.
