Indiana, as Sec-

Women and Weights.

The Sioux City Daily Tribune comments as follows on the campaign to obtain honest weights and measures: "A wave of reform in support of honest weight and an honest measure seems to be sweeping the country. The man who weighs his hand along with the boiled ham, pushes up the bottom of the berry boxes, sells thirty-four inches for a year and eleven eggs for a dozen has always existed and could always be reached by the common law, but many states have passed special laws and created special officers to stop the swindling of the ultimate consumer. A cool $1,000,000,000 is said to be a very low estimate of what the American people pay for but don't get by reason of dishonest weights and measures. "A Nashville paper is authority for the statement that thirty-nine percent of the weights and

measures officially tested in Tennessee have proved to be false. In Philadelphia a crusade by

the city inspector has resulted in the confiscation of wagonloads of scales, yardsticks and measuring vessels of all kinds. None were innocent, from the nation-famous department stores on Market street and the famous Reading Terminal market to the little fellow in the suburbs. "It was delightfully like that city to read that several merchants were scandalized by the seizure of their weights, which they solemnly assured the inspector must be correct and eminently proper because their fathers used the same measures forty years ago. Anything in Philadelphia that approaches an heirloom is right whether it be political methods, paving block or quart measures. "Indiana is another state where the reform has struck, and the Hoosier municipal dumps are being piled high with the crooked tools of merchandising, which are confiscated and burned. The general movement is said to be due to the formation of housewives' leagues and the growing influence of women in politics, especially local affairs. "A man will stand for being swindled in little things ; he regards it is being 'a poor sport' to raise a fuss about an inch of calico or three ounces of porterhouse, so those who bore false witness aginst their customers and 'charged it' up against them, have waxed fat and prosperous. "But women know more about such things

than they do about ad valorem, and maybe, at

that, they have struck nearer the real cause of the high cost of living."

REALTY DEALS OF LAST WEEK

CAMBRIDGE CITY J

ELABORATE EVENT

MARKS

ANNIVERSARY

CAMBRIDGE CITY, May 16 A club event of more than passing interest was the reception given Thursday afternoon by the ladies of the Helen Hunt club, in celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the club. The large room was most effectively decorated in white and green, the

club colors, a French basket and large bowls of llllies of the valley, the club flower, forming a pretty part in the decorative scheme, while sprays of bridal wreath and bunches of white lilacs were used in both the auditorium and serving room, the dainty llllies of the valley also encircling the punch bowl, at hlch a number of young girls preslaed. During the afternoon the Cambridge City Orchestra played and informal talks were made by the charter members of the club who were presented by the president, Mrs. R. A. Hicks, and who also were with her in the receiving line. Mrs. J. W. Marson, to whom the inspiration for forming such a club, was first given, told how, with the impression growing, she once communicated the thought to Mrs. Ophelia G. Schuits, and Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith, both of whom heartily approved

of the idea, which resulted in the organization of the club In 1889, with eight charter members and with Mrs. V irginia C. Meredith as first president which office she filled for fifteen consecutive years. Mrs. Marson also attended to the daughter of the "club, Miss Halen Hunt Doney. Mrs. Schultz gave an interesting talk along the same line, bringing out many points of interest regarding the history of the club. Mrs. Sue Wilson, of Richmond, a character member, spoke of the happiness afforded her In again meeting the ladies, referring to the first meetings, and the pleasant associations formed. This was followed by a talk by Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith, who spoke on the progress of the club, stating that it is not where we are, but the distance we have traversed, which shows that attainment is the result of action. She spoke of Woman's life as divided into four periods childhood, development of powers, service and self expression. She also said that membership in a Woman's tiub could not. be other than one of the great influences in a woman's life. The club, which was organized in 18S9, became identified with the State Federation in 1906, and with the General Federation In 1908. During the social hour cake and cream, the latter in the club colors, were served by the refreshment committee, lillies of the valley being used as favors. The guests included not only the ladies of Cambridge City, but also the members of the Martha Washington club, of Dublin, the Cary club, of Milton and the ladies of the Homomakers' club.
