DODGED SCHOOL, MADE 'PILE’

Country Boy Returns Home After Few Weeks' Absence Driving a Racing Car. Hutchinson, Kan. —Henry Koehn, a country boy from Galva, McPherson county, was sent to Hutchinson a few weeks ago by his father to get an education in a business college. His father gave him $250 and good advice. "Now, Henry, be careful,” his father advised. "This will be enough money. You can’t have extras.” Henry came back home, driving a 1915 model racing roadster. He wore a tailor-made suit and a diamond ring. Also he had in his pocket a bank book showing that he had $2,500 or more on deposit in a bank. A few days after his arrival in Hutchinson with his $250, he fell in with a friend of his father, a grain man- Henry was tempted. He invested his $250 in Wheat- Usually it pans out the other way. In Henry’s case it didn’t. Some say he cleaned up as much as $7,000. Henry is not going to school.
