Weyburn, Assa., contains a write-up
of Macoun, a pretty and thriving little
own, situated about thirty-five miles

Host prosperous business concerns
mentioned is the general store con-

ormer Exeter boy, who is evidently
making his mark in that Western
own.
"Ringing the farmers" is the latest
winding game in western Michigan.
n the first act of this new -style trag-
dy, a stranger appears on the road
ear a farm house diligently searching
or "a lost diamond ring." As he does
got find it, he offers $100 reward for
is recovery. He goes away without
finding the ring and shortly afterward
tramp picks up a ring. The 'farmer
who is to be the victim offers the tramp
l25 for the ring, expecting to get the
100 reward. The tramp hesitates hut
inaliy accepts it and leaves. When
he fanner cannot find the stranger he
rows suspicious and has the jeweler
xamine the ring. It is generally
worth about 15 cents.
