ESTES MUST FORFEIT $2,500 BOND, COURT AT EATON ORDERS

EATON, Ohio, March 11. Forfeiture of 1 2,500 jbond of R. L. Estes, convicted of automobile theft, was ordered Friday by Judge A. C. Risinger, of common pleas court. The forfeiture Is absolute, the order declares. Counsel for Estes filed a motion a day or two ago requesting that the bond be not declared forfeited. It was claimed in the motion Estes was under order of a court in Illinois and was unable to appear here to carry out ihe court's sentence. Judge Risinger's -order set forth that three different times Estes has

been ordered here to carry out sentence of one to seven years' imprison

ment but had failed to comply with

the order. A. J. Hiestand, local

banker, was referred to in the court order as surety for Estes. The bond was given in November, 1920. Estes' nephew, William Mills, has an application pending in common pleas court to be placed upon probation instead of being forced to serve a reformatory sentence of one to seven years. Estes and Mills were convicted jointly in October, 1920, of auto theft. Judge Mannlx, of Greenville, heard the case. The ' appellate and supreme courts confirmed the conviction. , Receive Bids Bids for approximately $4,000 of playground equipment for schools in Preble county were received here Friday by County School Superintendent W.S. Fogarty and representatives of the Preble county Red Cross chapter. Contracts were not definitely closed. A half dozen or more representatives of supply companies were present. ' The Red Cross chapter donates the money, an allotment of from $300 to $500 being made each school. " ,. Charges Cruelty.

GOOD QUALITY SAP, LARGEST RUN IN YEARS, REPORT FROM WAYNE COUNTY SUGAR CAMPS

A larger sap run than has been experienced for years, with a betterquality of sap, containing a higher percentage of sugar, is the report from "sugar bush camps" in the western part of Wayne county where most of the sugar maples are found. The sap run this year has been flowing so freely that it has kept gatherers busy emptying the buckets, and evaporators have worked at full capacity to keep ahead of the flow. In many cases it has been impossible to boil sugar water as fast as gathered and with all storage tanks full, the surplus has had to be sacrificed.

Possibly the largest camp is a com-

prosaic now, but the same process of gathering and manufacturing is followed. Tapping the trees is the first process, holes being bored about onefourth to one-half inch in diameter, and a spout Inserted on which is hung a pail to catch the dripping sap. Some

amateur sap gathering may be observed in Richmond on South Seventeenth street between A and B streets. As the buckets fill, they are emptied by the gatherers who travel from tree

to tree with a team of horses pulling a sledge on which a barrel is laid, with a funnel in the bung hole. Tbo buckets are emptied into the barrel, and when full, it is hauled to the

iniu.ee representing both Duroc Jersey and Poland China breed organizations of Preble county, was appointed at a joint meeting of the two organizations, Friday, the committee being instructed to meet with the fair board of Treble county and confer with regard to the breed displays of swine, and make plans for pig club work in the county. ,.. v " Organization of the Poland China

handling the sap from the trees of

Harry Foulke and Charles Rinehart. About 500 trees are pouring their sap

into the Foulke evaporator and 194 gallons of syrup had been made by Friday, March 10, the first sap having

been boiled on Saturday, March 4. This means boiling down of 194 barrels or a little over 10,000 gallons of sap or "sugar water" as it is called, a barrel of water making a gallon of syrup ordinarily. Rich Sap Reported. Testimony of sugar camp operators is that sap . this . year is richer than they recall for gome time past. A gallon Of syrup Is the ordinary yield of a barrel of sap, but it is running well over a gallon sometimes a gallon and a quarter to a barrel this year. A. H. Shafer probably has been operating the longest this season, having -opened camp early. He is handling the sap from George Cromer's trees on the Five Points road south of Hagerstown, with the assistance of his son, Harry- Shafer. They havo tapped 480 trees, and there are 75 in the rear of the wood lot that hav? never been tapped, making one of the largest plots in the country. The evaporator on the Cromer lot is being run every day from 6 in the morning, ar even earlier, when a heavy run must be boiled down, until late at night. On Friday, 14 gallons were boiled out between 6 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon; while 16 gallons were made during Monday and Tuesday.

I The evaporator has handled 87 barrels

of sap thiB week. Mr. Shafer now has

125 gallons of syrup on hand from this season's work.

Some Trees Destroyed. The Foulke sugar maple grove numbered between 1,000 and 1,200 trees a few years ago, more than could be

handled by a force of twice as many

as worked it. However, the severe

wind storm that went through several j years before, destroyed . several hundred trees. Including possibly 400 or 500 sugar maples in addition to the other trees in the grove. Stories of that wind are still told in the neighborhood. It came through just at sugar making time, and the camp was in full operation. Sturdy trees, a foot and two feet in diameter, were mowed down like grass in a broad swath which passed through the grove just a little to the south of the camp. The operator who was tending the evaporator heard the wind and hastily fastened one door, and held the other shut during the storm, which he imagined was only a severe wind. The only disturbance which the wind exerted at the camp was to lift the building about a foot and let it settle back. The wind passed, the operator began tending the fire again, and knew nothing of the damage until a quarter of an hour later when explorers hunted him up to find if he were still alive. Several Camps The banks of tributaries to the west fork of the Whitewater apparently are well suited to sugar maples, several

camps being located along them. The Whitewater River west fork runs

through the west part of the county, parallel and east of the Five Points road. Nearly all its tributaries run in from the west, crossing the. Five Points road, and it is along the little valleys with their steep slopes, that many groves are to be found. - Besides the groves mentioned, others are owned by their neighbors, as follows: Cassius Stout, 300 trees; Ray

Warfel, small grove; Earl Bookout,

evaporator and storage tanks. In thtCromer camp, and all others where

that is possible, the camp is built on a side hill, and the barrels are delivered to the up hill side, where they are

rolled off directly over the first storage tank. Two or three tanks of 10 barrels, (300 gallon) capacity, or more, are provided, dependent upon the capacity of the evaporator. Clear Fluid. The sugar water as it is poured out in found to be. a clear fluid, just a little milky, with a weakly sweetish taste. From the last storage tank, a delivery pipe or hose ' runs to an automobile valve on the first pan, sit

uated over the front end of the evap

orator. The evaporator is a series of pan

partitioned off from one another, so

in which the sugar water is delivered

is over the front where the fire is hottest and boiling most rapid. As the sap nears the syrup stage, it is allowed to flow back through the different compartments until it reaches the last pan next the chimney. Here the fire is coolest and boiling can proceed without danger of burning. By the time the sap reaches this pan it has thickened to a syrupy consistency,

and it is boiled until it fills the re

quirements for maple syrup, having a weight. of at least 11 pounds to the gallon. Most Wayne county syrup

makers exceed this weight a little to

be on the safe side. Sap Is Strained Sap is strained as it is emptied from the barrels ond syrup is strained again when it is emptied into the containers.

Maple sugar is no longer made at the camps, more demand existing for syrup alone than can be filled. In most cases, syrup made by Wayne county camps is sold immediately from the camps either to visitors, or it is taken to nearby cities where it finds a ready

sale through the stores.

who are willine to suddIv merchandise ! are urging the perpetration of a fraud,

on a credit basis to private individuals But by their very impudence in thus

who will agree to advertise and sell it,

One of these concerns recently advertised for "home workers" who were later circularized in the following frank manner: "If a man puts an ad in the paper like those we mention above, and the people rush to his house and buy him out just because they believe he is really selling some of his personal apparel or furnishings, and they think they are getting a wonderful bargain, the party Belling the goods is justified and you can not blame him if he is going to advertise like that right along and build up a big bank account because he knows how to take advantage of the ordinary people's credulity. To make big money in this world you have to study human nature and take advantage of what you learn. We are writing to you just as plainly as though we were talking to you face to face. "We buy up large jobs of goods from bankrupt concerns, from estates which are being settled, from the biggest Jobbers in the country. What we buy we buy, at such ridiculously low prices

that you would not believe it. We have

The run for this year is nearly nn-iDOUSht goods under the hammer in

acknowledging it, they place them selves beyond the reach of the law

At the United States district attorney's office, to which a copy of the letter was recently submitted, it was asserted that the concern could not be

reached through the postal regulations

because it was merely suggesting

fraud to others and was perfectly candid concerning its own methods. Anyone who entered into negotiations with it could not possibly be deceived as to the unscrupulousness of its character.

In the case of those who accented

the contract and who actually did mis

represent their merchandise to the

public, it was said, there might be

ground for criminal action. They could probably be prosecuted both for fraudulent advertising and for using the mails to defraud.

But how is this to be brought about?

The newspapers can not investigate the character and real intentions of every person who places a small, thirty-cent ad in their columns. In some cases, where the same kind of ads are

prmiea Dy me same person for a considerable length of time, it Is true,

ished, but may be prolonged by a cold

snap if one should come. The winter this year was ideal, with its alternating warm and cold weather, to encourage a large sap flow. The quality and quantity of sap and the length of time it flows, depends upon the weather, warm 'weather slowing the fllow and causing the sap to become less valuable - for syrup. Continued warm weather such as has prevailed the last few days will soon end the syrup season for this year.

NEW YORK CITY, March 11. New Yorkers will buy almost anything, be it ever so worthless, if they are only made to believe that they are getting a bargain. This well-known human weakness accounts for the large number of prosperous second-hand shops throughout the city, and for the existence of a wide-spread, unique business which actually sells new goods under the misleading representation that they are worn or damaged. On the West Side there are numer

ous private dwellings whose first! floors are given over to the display of furniture, yet from the outside you would never guess that the residents were furniture dealers. There is no sign, printed or otherwise, indicating that such is the case. The business is carried on privately with customers who are reached through small and inconspicuous advertisements in the newspapers. The advertisements usually read something like this: "Going South; must sacrifice lovely walnut bedroom set." Or, "Am giving up my town

house; will sell furniture at lowest reasonable prices." Again it is a "Lady going to California will sell mahogany furniture cheap." Sometimes, it is not furniture that is offered for sale, but clothes, in which case the advertisements announce the offer of an actress's wardrobe for sale, or the frocks and furs of a presumably wealthy woman who for reasons given is willing to sacrifice her personal belonging. There is one man in the neighborhood of Columbia university moreover, who has been on the eve of departure and hence under the necessity of disposing of his library of rare books for the past year and a half. As a matter of fact, however, none of these gentlemen and ladies has any intention of leaving town. They are making entirely too much money precisely where they are. They have-the public rushing to their doors and buying goods as fast as they can be sup

plied. One man who lived in an apart

ment for several months, says that the dealer, who was a woman, often sold $1,500 worth of furniture in a day. j

Drifted into the Business. This woman, according to his account, was a widow who, at the age of 35, had been left with several children to support on the small proceeds of an insurance policy. She had never been trained for any kind of work, and she had not the slightest idea how she and her family were going to survive. Fortunately for her, however, a

business friend of her late husband

had some ideas on the subject. He wa3 an antique dealer, and he told her

that often in attending auction sales

of large estates he had an opportunity to secure a lot of good but hopelessly modern furniture at a very low price. He could not use such stuff himself, he said, but he believed that it could be handled at a handsome profit by a private individual. At any rate, he suggested that she buy a few pieces at a sale that was to take place soon; advertise them as a private householder and see how the public responded.

The widow followed his advice and was amazed at the results. She not only sold the furniture she bought at the sale, but some of her own furni

ture as well. On this first transaction!

she made $800. After that, she attend-; ed sales regularly and also started visiting the large wholesale houses and buying up odd lots of portieres i and tapestries at low. prices. She dis-! posed of these at such a large profit : that a new idea occurred to her. "Vhy( not," she thought, "buy directly from' the big furniture factories?" Her. business was growing so rapidly that she could no longer take the time toj attend auction sales in distant parts, of the city, and furthermore, she had I

observed that the new, unblemished portieres, described as "slightly used" had sold to much better advantage than the really damaged furniture that came from the auction rooms. New Second-Hand Furniture. "You see, the whole; thing is very simple," she explained to her tenant. "The people who come to buy these factory goods expect to find them considerably damaged. Any furniture which has been used at all generally is. When they fined the thing3 in perfect condition, they are taken by surprise and are easily convinced that they are getting a great bargain. In one week I sold three Queen Anne desks each desk for $10 more than it would have cost in a certain large department store.". Taking advantage of the public in

some of the big auction houses of New York at such low prices that the owner of the goods who was forced to sell because he needed the cash, and who happened to be standing by watching the sale of his goods, actually had tears in his eyes. But this is business. If we didn't buy, someone else would. This merchandise we ship to our cli

ents who advertise in their daily papers just as we advise them. We

coach them. We train them. We prac

tically lead them by the hand. We
