During the last five years, the American people have been swindled out of $140,000,000 by “wild- cat” promoters and crooked stock “brokers.” The victims, largely speaking, are the poor who can least afford to lose their savings. In New York a widow, frantic over the lose of all her little sav- ings in a “bucket shop,” attempted to commit sui- cide and only was saved by the interference of her children. A Chicago Lithuanian slaved 12 yeara to get money enough to send back to the old country to bring his family to America. He sent $500 to pay passage to New York and “invests” the remain- der of his savings with a smooth-talking stranger who promised to double the sum “invested.” When the family arrived at Ellis island, the money had disappeared, so had the stranger, and the man's family had to be sent back. “Chicago is honeycombed with sharks,” says the chief of police. One has just failed with assets of $100,000 and liabilities of at least $7,000,000. The crop of “Ponzi” artists seem never to have been &0 large ‘arid they spread their talons in every part of the country. The attorney general of the United States says that there aré now 480 swindling cases before the United States courts, most of them concerned with fake oil companies, although all sorts of fraudulent echemes, mining ventures, patent promotions, and peal estate plans, all of shady character, have been unearthed. In New York City there is a great hub-bub over the operation of “bucket shops.” More than 30 firms are under investigation and total losses are eatimated at from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000. There appears to be Something in tho present financial situation which makes these grafters and swindlers enjoy a clientele that they could not hope - for in ordinary times. Perhaps because of a lack of business activity and unemployment, people are in @ frame of mind where they are willing to “take a chance.” In Minnesota there has been cousiderable res straint on this sort of thing by reason of the faet that the state industrial commission, known as the “blue sky” commission, has had a tendency to hold down operations of the swindlers. Despite -the fact that stock cannot be sold except with the ap- proval of this commiseion, the scheming scalawdg wsnally can find some way in which to fleece his vietima. The public must be pretty well aroused and still there are schemes under way all the time that will not stand up under the test of ordinary business investigation. The state commission should be ex- tremely careful and the individual should be even more 0. Don’t take a chance with your good money. § § In Duluth a traveling man found a bank of snow almost as high as his hotel bill. N Just now an optimist is a man who sharpens up his lawn. mower. HAVE YOU GROWN OLD? Have you grown old? If so, when did you first Among the women’s replies were: ‘When men stepped turning around after pass- ing me on the road. Whan.a woman friend of the same age as my- self became a grandmother. When I noticed the first gray hairs. When a girl got up and offered me her seat. ‘When I was told: “You are looking so fresh and young.” When [ had to play the piano while the other women started dancing. ‘When the old men ceased paying compliments and the very young began. When 1 received an invitation to a silver wedding {rom a couple whose first wedding I had attended. When I came to the conclusion that I never had been young. §—§ “BILLY NOONANETTES” Congressmaan Steenerson beat Ole Sageng once, but Ole isn't satisfied. He demands a return beat- irg. . The deep waterway from Duluth to the sea will shorten the haul and lengthen the profit on farm products. Everybody should be for it. A bill limiting speeches in the legislature to five minutes should be passed. Any politician can tell all he knows in that length of time. There is nothing wonderful about John Smith liv- ing to be 137 years”old. He inhaled Northern Minnesota’s wonderful climate all his life. A lad named James has opened a garage over in one of the Ontario towns. It seems kind of natu- ral to spe one of the James boys in the garage business. They are esking, “How old is Max,” and Max Jjust grins, as much as to say, “Why don’t they ask ‘How slick is Max?'” A 16-year-old girl and a truck load of American dollars is a fairly success- ful deal even in these hard times. . -The delegate election ballots. furnish quite an as- sortment of material for the voters March 1dth. They'll find plenty of good, clesn timber there, who are‘not “gang” controlled. 5 ; Senator Smoot admits that George Harvey may have lost his head and some of the Democratic sen- ators are mean to reply that “it wasn’t much of a loss.” = - & 3 State Forester Cox says the deer are being an- noyed by wolves because of the deep snows. What we are wondering is: who annoys the wolves? Two home runs for County Attorney Torrance out of two times at bat in the liquor cases so far. Wonder, can he break Babe Ruth’s record? § § John Lind refuses to become a candidate for any public office and this seems to leave the Democrats without any more “Moses” than a rabbit.

You might as well march first as last, lor they get you, anyhow. §—————p It's a good 'old-fashioned winter.

Many old folks say Doan'a Kidney Pills help them keep young. Here's a Bemidji case: ~John J. McElroy, retired engineer, 519 Irvine Ave., says: “For many years I was a railroad engincer and the constant jarring and jolting, year after year, put my kidneys out of fix, ‘Their action was very Ireq\lent and aften during the night it gcen- sary for me to get. up on account of this weakness. The secretions weren’t natural and their passage, too, was often distressing., .My back hurt me so badly at tmlw, it felt as if it would break. ver in bed had me in fear of these sharp pains and to ‘bend was reaH) ont of the question. I surely was-in a pretty bad way when my attention was called to an ad recommending| Doan’s Kidney Pills. I lost no time| in getting a s\lpply from Barker’s Drug SXore, and from then on, my| condition_improved. Ten boxes of| Doan’s Kidnéy Pills rid me of the trouble and I feel that nothing could have helped me like they did. My kid- neys are in A-1 shape and I give the credit to Doatv's. I am ghd to rec- omivend them to others.” 60c, at all dealaws. Foster-Mulburn Co., Mfrs., Buffaly, N. N. Y.—Adsertisement.
