When is a farm not

folks already know
the answer—they are sadder and wiser
—and their money is gone. But those
who have not yet been “stung” will
do mighty well to read a series of ar­
ticles starting next week in
‘The COUNTRY
GENTLEMAN
Herbert Quick ,one of the original mem­
bers of the Federal Farm Loan Board,
and a man of wide experience in farm­
ing, is the author. The subject—
“Counterfeit Farms.”
The fake orange grove,
the bunk pecan orchard,
the drought-smitten des­
ert, the water-logged
swamp, the sage brush
prairie—all the varieties
of good-for-nothing ‘‘de­
velopment’’ land that are
offered to the public, are
included in Mr. Quick's
series of warnings.
These articles are ad­
dressed to the farmer who
has the moving bee and
visions of easier money
than he makes at home;
to the struggling clerk,
the pool school-teacher,
the sick stenographer,
and all the other city folks
who dream of life on a
farm—and bite at the
land shark’s lure. Read

to be admired—respected.”

dryly, “especially the former. And
many an admiring heart has he broken.
‘I shall never marry,’ Philip tells the
foolish girls, ‘my life must be devoted
to my sister.’ ”
Aunt Millicent turned upon me
sharply: “I saw the way be looked at
you Just now. Nan.” she said, "remem­

man who had never from that first

When they spoke of pretty, merry
girls, who daringly spent their evenings
upon the wide verandas of Philip
Dare’s home, or picked him up upon
some errand to carry him home In
their cars—I still smiled In confident
satisfaction as I bent over my sewing.
Philip, I knew, cared for not one of
them.
