GROCERS ENDORSE

"SALE BY WEIGHT" STEP OF M'KINLEY

Housewives will soon be able to buy everything they need in the vegetable line by weight, thus being aslured that they are getting all that they are paying for. Marketmaster McKinley is spending some time visiting the merchants and ascertaining their attitude on an ordinance which would require sale of green stuff and other garden truck and fruits by weight. Leading grocers who were consulted yesterday "said they heartily endorsed the idea, some of them having already adopted this method of selling goods. They complain that without an ordinance the peddlers and storekeepers who sell only by measure are competing unfairly with them. Ways in which measures of potatoes, " beans, tomatoes and other vegetables may be stacked to give the consumer less than he is paying for were cited.

As soon as Mr. McKinley has obtained the favorable consideration for this plan, which has worked successfully in other cities, he will take steps to have an ordinance introduced into council.

AVIATOR FAILS TO HIT RICHMOND Richmond persons who spent much of the time today craning their necks looking upward in the hope of seeing an aeroplane fly over the city, will have s6re ligaments tomorrow in vain. The aircraft did not pass over the city, as reported on the streets today. The rumor was that a machine would follow the Pennsylvania tracks from Dayton to Chicago and would pass over Richmond some time during the morning. It was learned that the aviator was following the right-of-way of another railroad which passes through Northern Ohio. The purpose of the flight is not known.

GETS CAMBRIA STEEL OPTION, SAYS RUMOR

LONDON, July 22 A sapper attached to the signal section of the royal engineers, has penned the following description of life at the front as he sees it: Two or three weeks ago notice was given that we must put our names down for any article of kit that we needed -"to replace unserviceable" is the military term. My kit was complete, and I didn't require anything, but as I had burst my braces and had ingeniously repaid them with a safety pin and a piece of string, I put myself down for a pair of braces, and last Sunday the lorry arrived from the base, and the articles were unloaded. The sergeant

took charge of their distribution.

The stuff was all piled up in a

tent ; the sergeant stood at the door with a corporal holding the list of names and requirements, and we sap

pers all crowding around in a semi-circle. Gets a Toothbrush. I was the nearest, and the sergeant started with me. "Sapper Hall," he called out. The corporal referred to his list and said, "Pair of braces." The sergeant turned over the contents of the tent. "No braces sent, sapper;

braces will come up with the next indent.. Here's a toothbrush for you." "But I don't won't a toothbrush. I've got two." "Take another; that will make three. Look for a man that's got three pairs cf braces and swop with him. Whnt's the next name corporal?" "Andrews; pair of riding breeches." Andrews looked with dismay at the pair of riding breeches the sergeant held out. "But, sergeant, I can't possibly get my legs through those. I'm sixteen inches around the calf, and " Military Consolation. The sergeant regarded him sorrowfully. "Andrews, Andrews," he said, "it's always you that's first at mealtimes and last to leave. Just reverse the process. Be last to arrive and first to go, and in a week you will be

asking the master tailor to take in the slack. "Rignall," called the corporal, "two shirts." "Two shirts?" queried the sergeant, "two shirts and one shirt lasted me from Mons to the Aisne! Two shirts!

Here's one for you, sapper, and" with cheering sarcasm, "you shall have the other when- the next lorry comes up

with the silk pajamas." .

And so the distribution goes on. The sergeant has a very shrewd idea of

the state of each man's kit, and it is

wonderful how far he makes an in

complete delivery go. One recently arrived sapper complained to him that

he bad indented three times for a certain article, and had not got it yet. . "Ah," said the philosophical N. C. O., "the army way is not to have everything you ask for, but to see what you can do without."

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y July "22. Sheriff Hombeck today ordered a raid upon & modern garden of Eden, situated at Roosevelt Point, three miles north of Poughkeepsie. This action was taken as the result of numerous complaints that two men and two women have been parading before the public gaze without even a fig leaf to protect them from the elements. After a swim in the Hudson river the quartet frequently paraded along the New York Central tracks. This gave rise to fears on the part of the railway officials that the engineers might overlook signals or that some of the passengers might be decapitated as the result of hanging out of the windows of the cars. Hunters in the woods around Roosevelt Point have increased 100 per cent within the past few days.

Prominent gain dealers from Cincinnati, Indianapolis and other cities were alsc present. .
