provides that the board OF supervisors
against peddlers plying their vocation
in any county, outside of the incorpor-
ated towns. BY the same act ped
dlers are held to include and apply to
all transient vendors and itinerant
vendors selling by sample or by taking
orders whether for immediate or flu
ture delivery. But it also adds that
the provisions of the act shall not be
construed to apply to persons selling
at wholesale to merchants, nor trans
lent vendors of drugs-these being pro-
vided for by another act--nor to per-

cepted meaning Of a huckster is that he

the question will now arise as to
whether or not every peddler thru the
country will not be running huckster
