Scales should be used in every house and
barn. There is more money in knowing
than in guessing. The following proverb
should be needed "Deliver all things by
measure and weight" Weigh the
stock, and grain and hay, as well as fer
tilizers, go as to deal justly and be fairly
dealt with. In selling live stock the
weight is usually estimated by the drover
or butcher who comes to buy and long
practice OH their part gives them de-
cided advantage over the seller.
Quite a number OF THE TRANSCRIPTS
correspondents delay sending in their
items until Thursday night or Friday
morning. This il almost invariably too
late for publication. The Transcript
is printed every Friday evening. The
forms are closed early Friday afternoon.
On press day there is always a large
amount of purely local matters which
crowds out other items. County news
should arrive at this Office not later than
Thursday noon. If correspondents will
observe this rule they will have less OBJ
jections to make because of a number OF
their items being crowded out. Events
of special Importance may be sent by
phone or letter as late as Friday noon.
Wee Is are not only noxous in them
selves they beget other evils. They
foster slovenliness. A big patch OF weeds
in back yard, vacant lot or an alley
treaties an irresistible desire in the careless
domestic to throw old tin cans among
them. to empty among their concealing
leaves the garbage that should be carted
away. Such things have the germs OF
contagion and death. Besides they are
nasty, they are part of the weed sys-
tenn. Nice customs abhor them. A
town to-be clean and Wholesome and at
tractive must be cleared of pestilent
things. Citizens should cut the weeds.
Then there will be fewer tin cans, heaps
of ashes and piles of routine garbage to
mar the appearance and impair the
the health OF a fine town.
