Little Falls merchants should
be on ttie lookout for a pair of
clever swindlers who are working in the state. Their game is
this: One of the swindlers
makes a small purchase at a
store, tendering a $20 bill and
getting the change. Soon after
his confederate enters and
maks a small purchase, giving
a $1 or a $5 bill in payment.
On receiving his change he protests with the salesman, saying
