“Did you hear about the terrible
thing that happened to Mrs. Thomp
son. Aunt Emmy!” asked Maud. "It
seems that a man came to see her to
ask her to Invest Ln some securities
hts flrm wss selling, and she said she
did not have any ready money. Ho
asked her if she had some Liberty
Bonds, and she showed him her one
Liberty Bond, a thousand dollar oae.
He told her that there were a number
of counterfeit bonds about and upon
examining her bond said there were
some marks that Indicated it might bo
spurious. Poor Mrs. Thompson near
ly fainted and begged the stranger to
tell her wbat to do about It.
"He told her not to be unduly alarm
ed. that there was a chance that he
was mistaken. His flrm was Indig
nant, he said, about the counterfeit
bunds that had been foisted on the
public and intended to do everything
In its power to run down the culprits.
They employed a man who was an
authority on counterfeits and be could
tell in a minute If her bond was good
or not. 8o Mrs. Thompson let him
have the bond to take to his office tor
examination.’’
“And, of course, he didn't bring It
back,** commented Aunt Emmy.
“Worse than that!" Maud went on.
"He said that, being a widow, she
should be very careful in her business
dealings, so he made her sign what ho
called a receipt, although she didn’t
read It About a week after his visit
she received a number of shares of
stock that she says she never heard
of and certainly never bought So she
wrote to the investment house tbo
stock came from and said she thought
a mistake had been made. Imagine
her surprise when she was informed
that she had signed an order for those
shares of stock In exchange for a $1,-
000 Liberty Bond!
"First she was coming right over to
see you and then decided not to, be
cause she felt ashamed when she re
membered that you had warned her
about being taken in, now that Mr.
Thompson is dead and she has to han
dle her own business affairs.
My
brother Tom says he thinks nothing
can be done about It, as the receipt
bearing her signature la really an or
der for the stock.“
“I am sorry to hear this, Maud,“
said Aunt Emmy. “What a pity she
did not take her bond to the bank to
have It examined if that slick sales
man aroused suspicions in her mind
as to its genuineness. She would bare
been dealing with people of Integrity,
whom she could trust absolutely. And
yet she allowed herself to be duped
by a perfect stranger!
“Yet there must be a lot of that sort
of thing when you consider that over
$600,000,000 a year is being taken
away from the honest people in the I
United States by stock swindlers, if
the people would only learn to trust
the guidance of their financial affairs
to their banks and never sign any
thing they have not read and do not
understand, there would be less un
happiness about money matters.“—

NEW ERA FOR
AGRICULTURE
New York.—A new era lies ahead
for agriculture because it now com
mands the beet economic thought of
the business world directed on its
prime requirements of better distribu
tion and marketing. President W. C.
Gordon of the State Bank Division,
American Bankers Association, de
clares in a recent communication to
the thirteen thousand members of
the division. He seeks to enlist their
Interest in the work of improving the
marketing of farm products.
“The farmer today finds himself
far removed from bis consumer-cus
tomer by a long line of Intermediate
agencies, which often leave him tn a
position of disadvantage as an In
dividual producer.” Mr. Gordon says.
“It Is. therefore, not strange that he
should seek to apply to agriculture
those principles of production and
distribution found successful in In
dustry. His rightful ambition is to
make, where feasible, a general ap
plication of successful business ex
perience to the marketing of agricul
tural products. Commanding the best
economic thought of the business
world, agriculture undoubtedly stands
on the threshold of a new era. La
lieu of fantastic panaceas, agricultur
al welfare—which, after all. Is the
Nation's welfare—has need of a sane,
long range program that ie at once
practical, constructive and economi
cally sound."
He goes on to call attention to the
"long view prdkram suggested for ag
ricultural distribution” at Washing
ton by the Agricultural Conference,
