A tract of from 40 to 80 acres is pur chased, the band paying for it. After the deed Is recorded the tract is subdivided Into two, three and five acre tracts, the purchaser making a take sale to a second member of the gang at $500"fo $900 per tract. After having this sale recorded thes second member sells to the third member fur the same price, taking $400 down and a $500 mortgage, this being recorded. The last purchaser then put an ad vertisement in the papers for a loan of from $200 to $,00. offering $50 for the use of the money, for 60 days. The trap is thn ready to be sprung. If any answer is secured to the ad vertisement the borrower asks for $200 on his $500 mortgage, giving in return a note for 8 per cent.
