Harvest Is Good
Time for Agents

THE BUSY SEASON of harvest
is here, and it is a time for wheat
growers to be especially alert for
the tricks of the travelling rack
eteers. They like to catch you when
you are busy-often the hurry, the
urgency of your work, is to their
advantage, because you haven't time
to stop and really consider what
they're trying to put over.
That the "filling station" and ''Ko-
rean veteran" rackets are still being
worked industriously in Montana is
indicated by this quotation from a
recent issue of the Billings Gazette:
"At least a dozen queries have
been made to the Chamber of Com
merce regarding group of magazine
statesmen who apparently have been
telling people they will be leased
a Carter service station if they OBJ
tain enough Subscription points,
According to. O'Nei1 Callahan,
merchandising manager for Carter
Oil Co., the story is completely false
the company is not involved with
the magazine statesmen in any way.
1t has been reported that the sales
men are posing as Korean War vet
Grams in introducing themselves to
customers.
Sometimes, though, these crooks
are just as damaging when you are
not at home at all. Consider this ex-
perience reported by midwestern
farmer:
This man had taken his wife to
town early one morning and was
back home completing his chores
when he noticed a new car drive
slowly past his driveway. A short
while later, he, too, left his place to
go to neighboring farm just down
the road. While there, he saw the
same car come back up the road,
stop near his house. A fellow got
out and went into the house.
AS soon as the farmer saw this,
he rushed back home, only to find
himself locked out of his own house.
He pounded on the door and blew
his car horn, and finally the rack
eteer broke from the house and fled.
A day later, the racketeer was in
! Jail, where he belonged, and the

surely that the agents were up to
skullduggery.

The injury is a recurrence of an
early-season mishap that ruined
Reynolds as a starting pitcher un-

is a memento IF 3 bus accident

Philadelphia last July.
