siderable time was necessarily involved 
in establishing these facts and in apprais¬ 
ing the amount of the claim. The original 
claim was for $200, which was considered 
fair value for the cow. but under the cir¬ 
cumstances the offer of $125 was accepted. 
The experience reveals the disadvantage 
of an individual claimant against a cor¬ 
poration under such circumstances. If 
this farmer had been obliged to employ an 
attorney and go to court on this claim, it 
would have cost more than the amount 
involved. In other words, under the. pres¬ 
ent practice no redress by ordinary means 
was possible for the loss of the cow. 
Under such circumstances, we are glad 
to be of service, but the legal machinery 
of the government should furnish better 
protection to citizens in claims of this 
nature.

A short time ago my father sent for 
two tires to Albany Tire & Rubber Com¬ 
pany, Chicago. You will find advertise¬ 
ment: enclosed. As soon as the fires came 
we put them on the auto. One inner 
tube blew out the first night: the car 
wasn't used until next day. Then the 
second night the other tube blew out. 
After putting in new tubes, the auto was 
run 250 miles, and the tire blew out. so 
we sent it back to the company. Kudosed 
you will find the answer they sent us. 
Will you let us know what is bust to do?

This good farmer has been “gypped/’ 
that is all. The advertiser claims the 
tires were sold without a guarantee, and 
refuses to replace the tires. The only 
way we see for 11. M. to profit by the 
deal is to use the experience to keep him 
out of ttie clutches of “gyps” in the fu¬ 
ture, including the "gyp” publishers who 
print this class of advertising.

he makes worry impossible. He deserves

“Worry” is the subject of a full-page 
advertisement which appears in one of 
Ohio’s prominent daily papers, signed by 
Alois 1‘. Swoboda. We do not know 
what bis alleged “secret" to destroy worry 
may be. We cannot conceive of such a 
Secret, except something to destroy the 
use of reason. Many foolish people will 
no doubt send a dollar for Lis supposed 
secret principle. These easy-money artists 
who are being represented in this 
territory by a MR. DILLENBECK. 
I find them very unreliable and 
advise not giving them any orders 
for seed. If you have ordered, 
would cancel same immediately. 
Will be glad to show proof of my 
statements.

Enclosed find letterhead of West Flor¬ 
ida Company, Panama City, Flu., and 
New York City. It does not look just 
right to me. and by reading your paper 
for years 1 have learned to keep away 
from such propositions till investigated. 
Rut these people are after me. and insist 
they will make me rich by investing in 
their project, so give me information as 
to their rating or standing. o. A. M.

The West Florida Company has an 
authorized capital of $10,000,000 eight 
per cent cumulative preferred stock, par 
value $100 per share, and 150.000 shares 
of common stock of no par value. The 
plan, it, would appear, consists of the 
financing of large land developments in 
Florida. The present issue of preferred 
stock is for the purpose of furnishing the 
necessary capital for clearing the land, 
building roads, organization expenses, etc., 
and $7,500,000 of this preferred stock is 
reserved for future needs. The land con¬ 
trolled consists of .*’00.000 acres and a 
small railroad of about NO miles in length. 
The land development scheme is similar 
to many others of the same type which 
have been exploited with varying success 
throughout the United States. We have 
no great confidence in the ultimate out¬ 
come of the scheme, and fail to see any 
advantage to be gained by investing in 
such a ease. 
I would like your advice regarding 
Carlisle Tire Company, located at Stam¬ 
ford. Conn. I hold $1,000 worth of said 
stock, bought, at $25 per share: have 
holdings for one year’s period, and since 
have dropped in value to approximately 
$10 per share. What would you advise 
in this matter if holdings ate good, or 
try to sacrifice said holdings? These 
people claim to hold this stock for future 
business. AV. E. S. 
New York. 
The stock of the Carlisle Tire Corpor¬ 
ation has been promoted by the James 
W. Elliott Easiness Builders, with the 
usual high-pressure methods of this or¬ 
ganization. There seems to be no regu¬ 
lar market for the stock, but the pre¬ 
ferred stock is quoted through unlisted 
sources at 6Vt bid, 7*4 asked; the com¬ 
mon $2 bid, $2.25 asked.

This was an interesting claim. The 
cow escaped from the owner’s field through 
a defective fence on the railroad's right 
of way and was killed. The railroad sot 
up the claim on the ground that they 
were not liable to maintain a fence at 
that point. The claim was presented di¬ 
rect by the owner of the cow and declined 
in January, 1021. The claim did not 
come to us until June, 1922. A careful 
survey developed the fact that notwith¬ 
standing the railroad’s assertions, the 
fence did belong to the railroad, and had 
been regularly maintained by it. Cou-
