We notice many articles in the local
papers mentioning Harvey Tappan of
this place as candidate for Judge of
Probate for this county. We can as
sure the electors of the county that
Mr.. Tappan's friends in this part of

hearty support in case he enters the
field. We believe that he has the
confidence of large majority of the
electors and that he is particularly
we'll fitted for the position.

The agent for the Standard Oil Co.,
about the barrels of oil shipped to the
merchants in Yale not holding out,
conceded the fact of shortage, but
claimed that the weight of barrel of
oil was in the one that was measured.
This is the first time we ever heard it
claimed that oil was sold by weight.
We have in Michigan system of
standard weights and measures, of
which grain IS sold by weight and
liquids by measure. When merchant
purchases barrel of oil it should con-
tain certain number of gallons and
weights cut no figure. We would
advise our merchants to measure every |
barrel of oil they purchase from the
Standard Oil Co., and if it does not hold |
out to charge up the shortage. We
have law making it n severe penalty |
to sell grain which does not hold out |
in weight. and we believe it would be u |
good idea for our next legislature to |
pass law making the penalty equally |
severe to sell a barrel of oil which does |
not hold out. Why is the Standard |
Oil Co. any better or should be favored |
any more than the farmers or any
other class of individuals ?-Croswell !
