their "-operations in three different
communities in this county. They
are well dressed and claim they are
representing the Stats of Texas.
They go to these old ignorant peo-

passed an old' age pension law and
that all people over 66 years are
entitled to draw $16.00 per month and
that while most of those entitled to
this pension an already drawing it,
yet there are some who haven't
made application and ths Governor
has sent them out to find these.
They toll their islanded victims that

back pension and if they aas paid
$8.00, which Mr. Sterling says they
must collect, ths applicant will at
once receive tho $45X10 back pension
