GRANT COUNT! HERALD PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Bell Phone No. 12. Farmer** Phone No 49. Entered April 30. 1903. at Lancaster. Wis .second class matter under act ot Cong ress of March 3. 1879. OFFICIAL CITY PAPER. B. J. LOWREY, Editor and Prop. Subscription Price. >1 »0 Per year. Another scheme is being attempted in several of the states of the middle west to catch the farmer who wants to get rich faster than ordinary methods will permit. The plan is similar to the one of twenty years or more ago known as the Bohemian Oats swindle which waa worked so successfully and proved a gold mine for its original promoters. The operator of the scheme makes it known to his intended victims that he has a new variety of oats which he says will yield 25 bushels more per acre than any other kind. He offers to sell the oats for 44 per bushel and to buy all that the farmer can raise at a certain price. As a further in ducement he represents that a new binder will be given away to the farmer producing the biggest yield of oats in his district Of course the oats is only some common variety and by the time the crop has been raised the swindlers have departed and fail to keep their promises. The scheme may not be attempted in this locality but if it is farmers should be on their guard. . At Leavenworth, Kansas, in the federal prison, there are now quartered about thirty of “our best citizens,” yclept, bankers who went wrong in trying to get rich quick by using their depositors* money in speculation about the same as Phil Allen 'did at Mineral Point. And he is now one of toe ‘•distinguished” ones at present in retirement: Sixteen of -the num ber have arrived there during the past year. Wisconsin is now represented there b£ C.
