Some Experiences with Sharks—Legal Questions 
T WANT to write just a few lines to let 
you and the A. A. folks know I readily 
endorse the articles on page 580 in the 
June 21st issue of The American 
Agriculturist. 
There are all kinds of sharks and 
schemers around to get some money and 
even if one does try to be careful they 
may be taken in anyway. When I was 
a girl at home one day a smooth-tongued 
sugar-coated young man came through 
our neighborhood enlarging pictures at 
$5 each. He showed us in the book he 
carried names of our neighbors who had 
contracted for the enlargements, so my 
grandfather gave him an order for three 
and paid him $15. The enlarged pic¬ 
tures were to be delivered in six weeks, 
but it has been about fifteen years now 
and they haven’t come yet. In about six 
months we and the rest of the folks who 
had signed up the contracts did receive 
our original pictures through the mail. 
Be Careful What You Sign 
On another occasion, about seven years 
ago, another man came through, saying 
WHAT ONE READER THINKS OF A. A. SERVICE BUREAU 
Y DEAR MR. EASTMAN: Received Mr. W’s check for the potatoes. I 
cannot find words to thank you for your kindness and promptness in getting 
this check. I never expected to get it. 
Your paper is the best paper ever entered in our farm homes. I have taken it 
for many years. Nearly everyone that I know of takes it. It sure is a grand thing 
to be able to help us farmers to get our pay. When we sell we think we are selling 
to reliable people, and usually we are, but we get one once in a while who will not pay. 
I thank you again, and just as soon as I find out someone who does not take 
your paper I will send in the name and pay for one year, in return for your kind 
favor. Thanking you kindly, I am, Yours sincerely, W. I. H., New Jersey. 
would cost him only the postage which he 
was to pay when he received the papers, 
but it finally came out that he was to 
receive the papers if he paid them $1.00 
for the purse which they had at first given 
to him. When he refused to do this the 
agents became angry and one of them, 
shoving the notebook under Uncle Tom’s 
nose, declared he had to pay the $1.00 as 
he had signed up for the papers. My 
uncle then told them that he had signed 
nothing and the best thing they could do 
was to move on while times were good. 
It wouldn’t surprise me to hear of his 
receiving a bill for almost any amount at 
any time through the mails. 
Don’t Carry Signed Blank Checks 
Some people are so careless with checks, 
—for example, they sign a blank check 
and leave it lying around. I can cite 
two instances, or rather one and another 
similar incident of this kind. A stranger 
came through looking for work and a 
neighbor employed him. He remained 
a week, then left. When his check came 
back he found it had been raised from 
that he represented a book company in 
Chicago which was making county maps 
and he wanted Grandfather to sign a 
paper. He refused, saying that he 
didn’t want to buy 7 anything, but the 
agent went on to explain that he merely 
wanted Grandfather’s signature to show 
that he was the owner of the farm he 
lived on. Grandfather signed the paper. 
1 Within a very short time he received a 
notice that his $15 note would be due, 
and when the book company’s agent came 
to deliver the book he would collect the 
money. They brought the book,—a 
county atlas,—and left it, but failed to 
collect the $15. They threatened to sue 
Grandfather and sent three different men, 
but he didn’t pay one penny and the other 
neighbors,—well, they just told the agents 
that they 7 would pay so much and no 
more and the agents accepted it. One 
man paid them $3, another $5, one $7.50, 
and one a lone dollar, and the agents 
didn’t kick on the money. One shouldn’t 
sign anything, especially a paper or a 
contract, for a stranger. 
The Old “Strong; Arm” Game 
A few weeks ago two young men came 
through our neighborhood in an auto. 
They didn’t come to my home, but they 
did go to my uncle’s and he told me about 
it afterwards. They asked his name and 
when he told them one of them wrote it, 
together with his address, in a notebook 
which he carried. They then wanted to 
present him with a purse, but he refused 
to accept it. Then they 7 asked him to 
subscribe to three monthly papers which

$15 to $115. Another friend of mine has 
a habit of leaving blank checks, with his 
signature attached, in his wife’s purse 
for her convenience when she shops alone. 
While in town one day she lost her pocket- 
book, but thought little of it as she had no 
money in it at the time. However, she 
did think of it when two checks came in, 
one for $15 and one for $50. They 7 never 
found out who presented the checks as 
they had been cashed at the grocery and 
the endorsement was a strange one. 
In signing any kind of papers I believe 
it to be best to take them to a lawyer or 
a banker and consult them about them, 
as their advice may save several dollars.

Legal Questions 
“How many feet of land cap the State claim for a 
macadam road? The road was built ten years ago. 
The fences in some places are two rods apart, some 
places more. Some of the fence has been in the same 
place for fifty years. Can they force us to move back 
without pay? ”—E. W., N. Y. 
In reply to your inquiry concerning the 
macadam road, we wish to say that the 
State can compel the moving of y 7 our 
fence so that the road will be the width 
provided at the time it was originally 
planned. Under the law of eminent 
domain the State can take any property 
it desires for public use. Of course it must 
pay the reasonable value thereof to the 
-owner, but if it has once been paid for, 
and we suspect that it has, no further 
payment can be compelled.

“I have been wondering if one bank was safer than 
another. I have talked with some people who say that 
any National Bank is safe or that any bank which belongs 
to the Federal Reserve System is also safe, but that just a 
trust company of any kind is no good. Would you please 
tell me what you think safest? In case a National Bank 
goes under does the Government make it good to all the 
creditors? Also does it make a bank any safer if it 
belongs to the Federal Reserve System?”—F. A., Neff 
York. 
Under modern supervision of banks by 
the State it is our opinion that trust 
companies and national banks are equally 
safe. In the case of national banks, 
however, there is the added feature that 
in case of failure the stockholders are 
required to assume liability for the bank’s 
debts to the amount of their original 
investment in stock. The government 
itself does not assume to pay the obliga¬ 
tions of a defunct bank.
