swindle. Again we say to our
farmers and others who wish to purchase lightning rods, bo careful what you sign or you will certainly be swindled. Why ninetenths of lightning rod peddlers are swindlers we cannot tell, but such seems to be the fact, and it is
always advisable to be on the safe
side and treat all of them alike un

The St. Louis Globe Democrat has demonstrated that the charge
