Farmers in Hurón and Summit Counties, Ohio, are in a white heat over a very clever swindle which has aeen played successfully on them. [n the first place two silver-tongued sharks come along claiming they are detectives ferriting out and col ecting in all coin which they claim is conterfeit, after putting it to what they purport to be a chemical test, and that the government is sending out representatives to collect in, and that in a few days a man will be along and replace it with the genume article, they receiving a receipt for the amount of the coin they turn over to the inspectors or detectives. Days and weeks roll on and still they are waiting for the shekels that never come. If you have any money which you think is not the genuine article bring it to your banker for inspection,and if it is not what it should be trace it up yourself.
