Plays Hookey, Makes $7,000.

Henry Koehn, a Kansas farmer boy, was sent to Hutchinson to attend business college. Before leaving home his father gave him $250 with the warning to be careful with it and it would take him through school. Henry fell in with a friend of his father, a grain dealer who made a rich stake in wheat, and Henry was tempted. A few days later the farmer lad drove to his home in a 1915 model racer. He wore a tailored sint and had a sparkler on his finger, and showed a bank book with a deposit of $2,500. He said he made $7,000 on his first attempt at bucking the board of trade.. ■- <
