Wildcats Fleeced Farmers of Huge Sums With Fake Stocks Middle West Robbed of Billions and Now Whole Country Feels Ef fects of the Swindles American People Need Economic Education Quality in Goods Pays Handsomely.

Tt la ths esti mate of leaillng tankers of the middle west that the horde of swindler who swept over the agricultural belt In the fluah days of' 19111-20, selling stock In (ill wells that nover produced oil packing nouns projects thut never op erated phonograph concenv that ne.r made phonographs and all kinds uf other fly-by-nlght affairs, robbed the farmers of 12,000.000,000. Never before was there so great a fleecing of the farmers. The conditions w"ro most favorable for the schemers. The nien of the soil had made fine profits In the war period out of the high prices they received for their whnat and their 'corn, their nogs, their beeves and all their prod ucts. Some country bankers are said to have aided the plunderers, giving information to them of the financial condition of "prospects," acting as "bird dogs" to flush the game for the hlA i,::-,. .:: xM Mill Dtil.I.A KIN7.K, Chicago, 111, "1 understand now why so many people praise Tanlac as I have tried it myself and it certainly Is a won derful medicine," said Mrs, Delia Kunie, 856 1-111 Ave., Chicago, valued employee of the Boston Department Store: "I cat with so much sest arid en joyment now that my family really joks me about It. A short time ago, however, I had absolutely no appetite and was eating so little that I was losing weight and strength every day and I suffered bo'' much from indiges tion and nervousness that 1 was on the blink of a breakdown. . "There are absolutely no words that can express my delight at the remar able and Immediate results I' obtained from Tanlac. It benefited me In every way. Instead of being depressed and melancholy and tired and worn out 1 am full of life and energy and cheer ful and happy all the time. I've gained twelve pounds In weight, too." Tanlac is sold In Greensboro by Greensboro Drug Co., and all leading .druggists. ; . WFUL RISK Very Next Dose of Treacherous Drug may Start Terrible , Salivation Tho next dose of calomel you take nvy salivate you. It may shock your Hv-r or start bone necrosis. Calomel Is dangerous. It Is mercury, quicksilver. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. If yon feel bilious, headachy, consti pated ana all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get m bottle of Dod son'i Liver Tone for a few cents which Is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and If ft doesn t start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak ing you sick, you just gs back and get your money. Don't take calomel! It can not be trusted any more than a leopard or a wild-cat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone which straightens you right up and makes you feel fine. No salts necessary.

Persons la ctties and Industrial dis tricts who read of these swindles prob ably remarked contemptuously, "The poor rubes" and thought no more of It, not thinking It concerned them. But It did and It does concernment. No people In America can suffer or be plundered without the people of all other parts of America being affected to some degree. Agricultural Implement makers to day have small sales of their machines because the farmers have little buying power. It the farmers had not been robbed they would be In position to purchase some of the machinery they need urgently and mo men would be working in agricultural machinery plants. The worker in snoe tactory, cot-on mill, woolen mill or automobile plant may not see how the fleecing of the farmers concerned him, but lit, 000,000, 000 taken from the agriculturists has Impaired the buying power of the farm people in the purchasing of shoes, of clothes, of motor cars and a thou sand other things. Not only that,-but the man In the coal mine has less work and earns leas wages when tho factories are Idle or oneratlna- less than full time and the men In the steel Industry have less empoyment when the needs of general business are reduced. The railroads have less traffic The Jobbers, com mission men, retailers, and bankers, big and little have fewer Items to handle. To carry the Illustration further, the butcher, the Krocer and every supplier In every city, town and village feels )l in his purse when anything happens to reduce the buying power ot any one branch of the American people. it la not the "poor rubes" alone who are plundered when any swindle of considerable stse is perpetrated on the people. All the people are robbed. Not until this fact sinks Into the conscious ness of the public will effective meas ures be taken to atop this great evil The American people need nothing so much as economic education. Does quality pay? There is not a commoclal or manu faotulng establishment of age In America the success of which Is not based on quality. Many attacks have been made en the Standard Oil company but never on the high grade of the prof.ucts It sells. The world over Standard Oil Is the standard of excellence. In the middle of China Its cans are the gauges of measurement. The Standard Oil corporation never would have withstood the storms of years but for the quality of Its pro ducts. No one can measure the worth of luallty . Dr. Gustavo Munlzaga Varela, Chilean consul general in New York, visited Philadelphia yesterday. He told with pride of having bought In Buenos Aires in 1008 an American hat which he wore for 10 years. "I wore that hat all over ths world," he said.- "When I was consul general in "Belgium that hat won the admira tion of various men and I told them It was made in Philadelphia. 1 do not know how many persons took the name of the maker and said they would write to America and get their hats from the same ooncern." Charles 8. Calwell. president of the Corn Exchange National bank, sug gested that the consul general visit the plank where -th. hat was made. Senor Varela did so. When he was about to leave, a hat, just like the one the Chilean bought In Buenos Aires, v, presented to him with the compliments of Mr. Calwell. - " In 1S61 an American made locbmotlve was sent to Chile. It was a small affair made by hand by Matthias Bald win. It went In a sailing vessel. It still Is in use after 70 years of service. Does quality In a locomotive, even in a small engine that coats perhaps only 11,000 or so, pay? It does. . From Chile the Baldwin people re cently received a 17,000,000 order for locomotives. The quality ' of that little bit of machinery that has served its buyers for 70 years helps a lot In selling the product of the Baldwin plant In Chile today. . . , HANDSOME) CANE PRESENTED JUDGES WAKEFIELD AT LENOIR (Swell! to D.lll Km.)
