"Thoro'R n T? AN ADVERTISING TRICK WESTERN FARMERS. FOR Real Estate "Agents" Go After Men. with Land for Sale and Reap Rich Harvest. A smooth schemo for separating farmers from their money has boon worked with much success In South Dnkotn. An oily grafter calls on a farmer and makes a bid for his land. Tho llgures are absurdly low at first, but by degrees aro raised as high as $G0 an acre, and the farmer consents. Then tho visitor explains that ho is only an agent, but that ho can sell tho land at the prlco named if tho owner will agree to pay for advertising at tho rato of fifty cents an ncre. The 'agent" promises orally that tho ad vertising money will not bo pnyablo until the land is sold, but this stipula tion Is not contained in a contract that tho farmer signs. In a few days ho receives a copy of an ud and not over-courteous demand for money. Jt is said that twenty two agriculturists vere caught with this bait in Brown County and that ono of them gave up $320. Others de clare hotly that they will not pay but thoy will make a fight in the courts. The Original. "Darling, you aro tho only woman over loved!" tho manly young fellow avowed in accents of soul-reaching ardor.
