Buck Passing Is Natural

30 years old, she becomes jittery
and fearful of entering this new dec

may have missed something impor-

Women are dangerous and in danger
at this time, for they subconscious-
ly fiirt with the idea. Of more ro-
nance. If their husbands aren't
feeding them a heavy romantic diet
of compliments about their youth
and beauty, they may even entertain
the thoughts of some secret f1irta-
tons.
There is, moreover, an old saying
that it takes thief to catch thief.
This means, in substance, that guilty
people tend to believe others are
guilty. When a person begins to &C
cuse others falsely and to excess,
we often find such behavior is an

Scant Bloom of Wistaria

Wistaria seedlings some times
take six or seven years 10 make up
their minds and produce racemes of
flowers. To insure immediate flow
ering, plant grated stock or layered
cuttings from proven plants.
Other reasons for lack of blooms,
is too rich a soil, lack of sunshine
or too much water If growth is too
rampant, withhold feeding and
prune the long runners to within
three or four buds from the old wood
stock. Repeated pruning now will
force the formation of flower buds.
If these precautions fail, then next
fall prune the roots by spadlng down
II inches deep at a distance of Is
inches from the main trunk.

Country Slicker
Sells a Railroad
Toa Junk Dealer
Buyer Tears Up 1000 Feet
Of Rails, Then Finds
He Was Hoaxed.

HICKSVILLE, L. michael Pa
lermo, "a years old, of Flushing,
Queens, rode through Hicksville on
his rattletrap junk wagon, occasion
ally Ticking a fly off the horse with
his whip and saying to himself that
it would be mighty fine if he could
graduate from the junk business
into something big-buying scrap
iron, for instance.
wish, stranger stopped alongside
the wagon, and, resting his foot on
the hub of the front wheel, said:
How would you like to buy some
rails?"
Palermo, who had been fiddling
with the horses harness, straight
ened up.
"Rails?" he asked. What kind?"
Railroad rails" the stranger
said. "As many as you want. A
whole railroad"
Wants $50 Down.
Palermo forgot about the harness
and the prospective customer. This
was just what he had been looking
for. Excitedly he CLEANED from the
stranger that his name was John
Weiss, that he lived in Hicksville,
that he was ready to sell the old A.
7. Stewart line of the Long Island
railroad from Country Life Press,
L. L., TO Babylon, L. l., to the right
man and that all he wanted for a
down payment was $50 The rails,
he said, could be paid for at the
rate of So ton.
Palermo worked hard 10 conceal
his excitement.
I'D have to have a contract"
he began.
Certainly" said the stranger.
Come on. Well go across the
street to a notary public"
In the office of the notary Paler-
mo solemnly affixed his signature
to the paper and counted out $50
as part of the down payment Then
he went home as hard as the horse
could gallop and rounded up FIVE
friends.
When he told them of his good
fortune and asked them to help him,
they said he was crazy, that no
one was going around selling rail-
roads. Palermo, however. trium-
phantly produced his contract, in
which the stranger had described
himself as representative of the
Brooklyn Traction company. and the
friends agreed to help. Palermo
went out to buy a new acetylene
torch. The next day they went to
work.
The Profits Roll In.
1t took no time at all to convince
Palermo that his business was on
the upgrade. He sold a quantity OF
the rusted rail to Brooklyn dealer
for about SIS ton, a gross profit of
ST. Palermo looked forward TO a
busy and prosperous autumn.
Unfortunately, however, Lieuten-
ant James Farrell of the Nassau
county police happened to be riding
past while Palermo and his men
were at work The detective took
one look at the 1000 feet of stripped
roadbed and uttered a few quick
words.
Palermo and his men threw down
their croWbars and torches when
the detective approached. In five
minutes the policeman had con-
WINGED Palermo that he was the vic
tim of the Nassau county equiva-
lent of the sellingthe-Brooklyn-
bridge hoax
BY nightfall the police had dis
covered that there was no John
Weiss in Hicksvine and no Brooklyn
Traction company in Brooklyn, not
that they had ever believed there
was. They led Palermo, chastened
victim of high finance, before Judge
Joseph p. Lebkeucher here and then
started looking for the slick
stranger.

WE LIVE in a great country.

WE LIVE in a great country.
But among all the 48 states there is none
that can lay claim to more varied and
abundant riches of field and orchard, farm
and mine, than our own Michigan. Here
an unequaled combination of soil and
climate, mineral deposits, waterways and
harbors, and the progressive spirit of five
million people, has enabled agriculture
and industry to flourish together, each
aiding the development of the other.
This is the first of series of informa-
tive advertisements in which the Mich
igan Bell Telephone Company will deal
with the immense natural resources of
the state, affecting the daily lives of all
our citizens.
The telephone has contributed vitality
to Michigan's growth. Just as good roads,
cars and trucks have made it easier to
transport our products, so the telephone
has aided the development of our re-
sources by shortening time and distance.
