THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
PUBLISHER’S DESK 
We have the following notes signed 
by the produce commission firm, Stevens 
& Simpson & Co., 262 Washington 
Street, New York, for collection: 
$47.81, dated April 25, 1907, and due 
in 90 days. 
$25.25, dated July 1, 1907, and due 
July 30, 1907. 
$25.25, dated Tilly 1, 1907, and due 
July 16, 1907. 
The notes were issued to Allen B. 
Wells, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., for pro¬ 
duce shipped and sold on commission. 
Repeated demands have been made for 
payment, which has been refused. We 
will accept the face of these notes with 
interest at any time on behalf of Mr. 
Wells, and this notice will be repeated 
in this position weekly until payment is 
made, and so long as Stevens & Simpson 
& Co. continue to solicit consignments of 
farmers. 
I did not receive any money or eggs, or 
any answer from llie letter I wrote to the 
Fanciers’ Stock Farms of Long Branch, 
N. .7. Thank you for the trouble, but 
don't send me any money except you get it 
from the Stock Farms, as I would not re¬ 
ceive it. I think your paper is worth more 
to me than one setting of eggs and the 
price I pay for it. Send me another little 
envelope. s. a. W. 
New York. 
We seem to have made a mistake in 
inserting the advertisement of the 
Fanciers’ Stock Farm, of Long Branch, 
N. J. When we received complaint in 
the above case, we called their attention 
to it two different times, but they pay 
no attention. It seems they value the 
price of a setting of eggs more than 
their reputation. They have the inside 
information as to the value of the repu¬ 
tation, and no doubt mark it up for all 
it is worth, but for the future we want 
our people to take it at their own* val¬ 
uation. This subscriber refuses to ac¬ 
cept a refund of the remittance from 
us, but under our guarantee we assume 
the full responsibility in such cases. 
Once more we repeat that we cannot 
answer questions in this department or 
in any other that are not signed with 
full name and address of the inquirer. 
This note comes from California: 
Baron IT. Long, secretary of the Jeffries 
Athletic Club, and Gordon E. Riggins, press 
ngent of the club, were arrested by Federal 
authorities at Los Angeles on an indictment 
returned in the southern district of New 
York charging them jointly with Edward 
Madden of New York, with fraudulent use 
of the United States mails in the conduct 
of the business of the Madden Music Com¬ 
pany. It is charged that they solicited 
poems from various persons by advertise¬ 
ments and representations that they would 
write music to poems and place them profit¬ 
ably with music publishers. The indict¬ 
ment charges that Madden, Long and Rig¬ 
gins “in fact intended to present the poems 
only to irresponsible publishers who might 
obtain further sums of money from said 
persons by further false representations." 
Long and Riggins gave bond of .$2,500 
and will appear on May 19 in the Federal 
Court to show cause why they should not 
be removed to New York for trial. 
We have had occasion to expose these 
schemes in the past. The plan is to in¬ 
duce people to pay big prices for pub¬ 
lishing music under the pretense of pay¬ 
ing a royalty to the author and making 
them rich. Of course the cash must ac¬ 
company the order for the printing. The 
way they praise the manuscript makes 
the author feel he must be a Robert 
Burns or a Tom Moore. 
T have stock in the Doyle Consolidated 
Mines Co., of 507 E Street, N. W., Wash¬ 
ington, D. C. Can you give me any infor¬ 
mation as to the reliability of this enter¬ 
prise? M. B. N. 
West Virginia. 
This company was recently organized 
with an authorized capital stock of $10.- 
000,000, one-half of which was turned 
over for some mining property and the 
balance they are trying to sell at 30 
cents on the dollar. The cost of selling 
the stock in advertising commissions, 
etc., will no doubt take a half or better 
of the proceeds. Two of the officers 
are connected with a real estate company 
of Chicago, which is not too highly re¬ 
garded there. Under all the circum¬ 
stances the investment cannot be regard¬ 
ed very favorably. 
Subscribers are sending us Ostrander 
advertisements clipped from some 
papers whose existence depends on the 
patronage of farmers. For our part we 
cannot quite understand the assurance of 
a publisher who would ask the patron¬ 
age of a farmer for a paper containing 
such advertisements. Such publications 
publish the willingness of their owners 
to chloroform readers while rogues pick 
their pockets, and then to share the 
plunder. 
Can you toll me anything about the re¬ 
liability of (lie American Farm Land Asso¬ 
ciation. Chicago, Ill.. 1110 First National 
Bank Building; or the value of (lie prop¬ 
erty for sale as farm lands? e. w. w. 
Maine. 
This is a partnership and not an in¬ 
corporated company, but the represen¬ 
tative of the business refuses to state 
who his partners are and declines to 
give out any details. It is believed to 
be in the hands of two comparatively 
young men, and nothing is known of 
them which would justify an estimate of 
financial responsibility. 
A house that makes thousands of ship¬ 
ments to farmers every year recently 
wrote us a letter in which we found 
the following paragraph : 
Tt has boon most provoking this year the 
way (lie express companies and railroad 
companies have handled shipments even (o 
nearby points, and it seems to me it is 
about time for all the voting population of 
this country to rise in arms and demand 
that Congress give them the advantages 
that would come to them if we had a parcel 
post system of any kind. 
This comes from one of the best and 
most reliable seed houses in the country. 
No one could be in better position to j 
know the needs of a parcels post. The 
seed house naturally suffers when one 
of its shipments goes astray or is de¬ 
layed in transportation, because the 
house and not the transportation com¬ 
pany is held responsible by the farmer, 
and complaint is sure to follow. Every 
farmer should constitute himself a com¬ 
mittee of one to talk parcels post to his 
Congressman and United States Senator 
and the most effective time is before 
election. 
I want to congratulate you for your 
hard but determiued fight for a square deal 
in the famous cattle case. You deserve 
groat credit for your honest effort to expose 
fraud. I enclose one dollar for my sub¬ 
scription. I had heard your paper highly 
spoken of many times, but did not feel 
greatly interested, as I was taking more 
papers than I had time to read. One of 
said number, my great-grandfather used to 
take, over 70 years ago, and has been a 
regular weekly visitor here, or in our fam¬ 
ily ever since, and to find them upholding 
fraud! What a pity! Your 10 weeks’ trial 
subscription has kept me posted on that cat¬ 
tle deal. I had been misinformed by that 
other once worthy paper. I feel as though 
I had made your acquaintance, and would 
like to continue. f. j. j. 
New York. 
The above is from a prominent Jersey 
breeder, and is given as a fair sample 
of the sentiment of this class of breed¬ 
ers. We have said from the first, and 
we can repeat now, that no class of 
farmers was more pronounced in their 
approval of the demands made by The 
R. N.-Y. in the cattle case than Jersey 
breeders. This was as it should be, be¬ 
cause none other had more at stake 
in the principle involved. No greater 
insult could be offered honest breeders 
than the intimation that they would be 
willing to cover up substitution or fraud 
in their registry records, and no small 
number of the Jersey breeders have 
promptly repudiated the self-constituted 
spokesman who would put them in such 
a position. The above is only a sample 
of many. The letter gives us occasion 
again to call attention to the value of 
those 10-weeks subscriptions. Even 
those who have more papers than they 
think they need usually send on the re¬ 
newal at the end of 10 weeks. That is 
why we can afford to continue the first 
10 weeks trial while publishers of farm 
papers generally have abandoned it as 
unprofitable. No paper could afford to 
continue it unless a large percentage of 
renewals resulted. Send a 10-weeks trial 
when you can. j. j. d.
