TUB FAMILY TRBB RACKET
Despite Warnings, Hundreds of Persons
Are Victims of Swindle.
A news dispatch from London says
that American! in search of a family
tree should tak# warning from the
latest of many statements about bogus
genealogists issued by the United
Status consulute general in London.
For, according to the consulate general's
office, these fly-by-night gentry
this year are mping ? &&??
harvest than ever from the United
States at the expense of those people
who believe they are miating heirs to
vast fortunes or have claims to noble '
birth.
(Sixty letters a week are being rg?
ceived at the consulate general from
Americans who believe they am missing
heirs. As usual, most of tbam
have no legitimate claim to any "fortune
and are told so by return
but for those who write to the consulate
general there are hundreds of,
others - who place their claims -aai
their dollars?in the hands of bogus
genealogists.
At the consulate general's office
there are hundreds of cases on record
of people who have been defrauded of
their hard-earned coin by these men.
Only recently a trickster living in
London started?or claimed to have
started?-to compile the history of the
Bennett family. Hundreds of Bennetts
in America and Britian were
circularized by this man, who said he
thought they were associated with
this "noble family." He promised to
have a record of all the Bennetts privately
printed. The dollars rolled in
but the subscribers are waiting for
their book.
The ancient (Society of Genealogists
is up in arms at this traffic, which,
they contend, is dimming the fair
name of all latent genealogists, but
the authorities have a hard time in
catching the swindlers, who move
from one address to another with
great rapidity.
Federal Check Tax Dead
The Federal tax of 2 cents, which
has caused so many people trouble in
keeping their bank balances straight
for the past two and n half years,
on all cheques automatically came to
an end on December 31st. Henceforth,
at least until such time as
Congress sees fit to reimpose it or a
larger one, there will be no Federal
tax on cheques. ?
The tax was imposed by Congress
during the -Hoover Administration
and from the start was intensely unpopular
both with the banks and with
depositors. It went into effect June
25, 1932.
Odd Accident Hurts Lad
Yemassee, S. C.?Lighting a fire
cracker within a few mohes of the
intake pipe of an abandoned underground
gasoline storage tank in front
of his parents' store, Billy Funderburke,

shortly after noon today wheor the
tank blew up, hurling his body more
than twenty feet into the air and approximately
the same distance into
the street.
Loose rock and dirt hurled seventy
feet into the air and rained over
persons and buildings 300 feet away.
The boy's uncle, J. E. Burnett of
Ridge Spring, sitting within ten feet
of the tank with Billy's brother, T. D.
Funderburke, escaped uninjured as

Two Fools With But a Single Hwa^it
I They-were coming down
,j streets toward the intersection thttfel
of. Each was in a hurry, or HOilked
[ to be, for the care were making about
J 42. About both the drivers tMMi
was that air which seems fitting^
j described by, "damn the expense." ^
!> Neither saw or heard the other
, Neither regarded the intersection as
a point of (danger or a place where
any one else might have some, right
to be. iBut just ia a spirit of broad
mindedness, liberality and carefulness,
when each came within about
26 yards of the crossing he shrilled
a warning toot on his1 horn as much
as to say, "I'm coming: clear the
way; keep off my preserves!"
But, unfortunately for both, such
simultaneous claims could not be adjusted
without conflict. Both swerved,
but there was mutual sideswi ping
and overturning.
Had the drivers been infants or
drunk an explanation would have beer
forthcoming as to why they escaped
injury. iBut they were adults and
sober; fair samples of quite a sizeable
group I

classic:

Stomach Worm* In Cattle
The twityUxl stomach worm is aomej
times found in enormous numbers in
the fourth stomach of cattle. 'Sympi
toms are anaemia, lose of lletrh, general
weakness, dullness, capricious appetite,
excessive thirst, and diarrhea.
Cattle become infested by grazing on
pastures on which infested cattle,
sheep, or goats have grazed and scattered
their droppings.
(Preventive measures are important,
iDo&e the animals, both well and infested,
and remove them to fresh
pastures after treatment. Deprive animals
of feed for Id to 24 hours. If
bluestone treatment is used animals
should receive no water on the day
they arp dosed until several hours
after being dosed. Vor drenching, a
long-neck bottle, or a drenching tube
may be used.1 (Bluestone solution prepared
as follows: take 1 pound
(avoirdupois)) of pure bluestone
(copper sulphate), powder it fine, and
dissolve in 9 1-2 , gallons of water.
It is better first to dissolve the bluestone
in 2 or 3 quarts of water, thon
1 to add the remaining quantity of cold
| water and to mix thoroughly. This
solution may (be given to oattle in
the following-sized doses:
<<:Calves, 3 1-2 to 4 fluid ounces;
yearlings, 6 fluid ounces; two-yearolde
and over, 12 to 16 fluid ounces
