Commissioner Barnard Will Ask Legis*

latnre To Fix the Standard—

Scripture on Subject.

H. E. Barnard, state fcod and drug commissioner, says he will ask the aext legislature to pass a law regulating weights and measures. He regards this as necessary in order to have an established and uniform standard for the regulatien of transactions that take place every day among the people of' Indiana, in which articles are bought and sold by weight or measure. The number of such transactions ever*' day is beyond «omputation and it is" highly important to have a fixed standard of weights and measures for the enforcement of honesty among dealers and ihe protection of buyers. "The subject is one that calls for government regulation," says Mr. Barnard. "To permit individuals to adopt their own weights and measures would be as absurd and mischievous as to permit every man to ooin money of different values. It would cause confusion, general dishonesty and universal wrangling."

Weights and measures were a subject of legislation long before the Christian era and is referred to many times in the Bible, where we read "Thou shalt have a perfect and just weight," "Thou shalt not have in the bag divers weights," "A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight," and, again, "Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord, and a false balance is not-good." Warnings and denunciations on the subject are frequent in the Scriptures and history shows numberless efforts to regulate it by law.

MElTOlEOra HUNDRED IB OLD

Inily Morgan Whose Death Occurred

Tuesday Was Probably the Oldest

Person in the County.

Mrs. Emily Morgan, whose death occurred Tuesday at the home of her son in Blue River township, claimed to be more than a hundred years old. While it is not definitely known just liow old she really was, the probabilities are that she was as old as she claimed to be. A lady who died five years ago at the age of 82 years, was born and raised in the same community with Mrs Morgan and some time before her death in talking of ages of her friends, said that Mrs. Morgan •was a grown young women when she was a little girl.

This would practically substantiate the claim of Mrs. Morgan to be oVer 100 years old and the oldest person in Hancock county.

Drain Has Deen So Great That There

Is a Scarcity of Them in the

State.

"Indiana is in the midst of a hunting license famine. So great has been the drain on the office of the State fish and game commission in preparation for the present open season that the visible supply has been reduced to five hundred licenses forms with the State printer unable to make a new delivery for two weeks. The five hundred on hand are in the possession of George W. Miles, State fish and game commissioner, and county clerk after county clerk is writing in and demanding that supplies be sent. As a consequence, the hunter who hasn't been successful in obtaining a license will be compelled to forego his shooting until the new supply of blanks is received."

The above item is going the rounds of the press, but in Hancock county it does not apply, as Clerk W. A. Service has on hand about 250 license forms, which he thinks will supply all demands until more can be had from the printers.

LIFE SIZED BUI WAS

Lute Stephens had an experience a few days ago, so the story is told, that was agravating to say the leas He was working in the cemetery and while raking leaves, saw a rabpit sitting behind a little clnmb of weeps. He cautiously left the place and feecuring an axe, cut along pole. With this in hand he crawled back to within a few feet of Mr. rabbit and then with a mighty swing he let drive and knocked the rabbit about twenty feet. Highly elated he picked up his game with delightful anticipation of pot pie but was chagrined to discover that the rabbit had been dead not less than two weeks. Any way Mr. Stephens said it was too dead for him, so he told the story on himself before Mr. Weaver, who was a secret, but interested spectator, could get the ear of anyone.

Fatal.

A Bil^ Being Prepared to Stop "Beat-

of Paper Carriers.

A special from Columbus, Ind., says: Charles M. Schowe, of this city, is preparing a bill to be introduced at the next session of the legislature making it a criminal offense to "beat" a newsboy out of money due him on subscription for newspapers. Mr. Schowe has some sons and they carry papers. In many instances these boys have been unable to collect accounts due them.

Mr. Schowe says it is a criminal offense to beat a board bill and he thinks it should be a criminal offense to read a newspaper without paying for it. He is now at work on the bill and will ask either Senator-elect Trautman or Representative-elect Ault, of this county, to introduce it. Schowe was formerly a member ol the city council here.
