Men of the Dutch Fork: ask you
to think for yourselves before you
vote for county line that will divide
people who have been one for near
ly two centuries. Have you thought
what such line means? The splitting
of your farmers or neighbors, thereby
giving some the trouble of assessing
and aging taxes in two counties.
Have you thought what such line
means? The drifting apart politically

together at the Dutch Fork barbecues

thought what such a line means?

selves you will see that it would be
unwise to split this historic Dutch

PROPOSED BREAD LAW.
Hearing at District Building Over
Draft of New Measure

There will be hearing in the board
room at the District building on Friday
morning. December 10, for the discussion
of draft of the bread law bill pre-
jared by Col Haskell, Sealer of weights
and measures. The draft was prepared
last April after the Court of Appeals had
decided that the bread law in effect at
the time was invalid The matter has
been held over by the Commissioners
until time for Congress to meet, and
they want to pass upon it now after
hearing the bakers and every one else
concerned.
In the bill proposed the housekeper
and the baker are both considered. III
the old law there was chance for but
one-siZed loaf to be baked-a sixteen
ounce size. The proposed law would al
low an eight ounce and twelve-ounce
loaf, as well as loaves of several different
sizes larger than the standard sixteen
ounce loaf. The use of labels designating
in ounces the true weight of the loaf is
considered necessary and important.
Provision is made for an allowance Cor
the dryness or dampness of the pla &c
where the bread is exposed for sal" II
is provided that bread shall be considered
fresh for eight hours after it mas been
pa krd Stale bread can he sold, pro-
ytd.t that the dealer informs his Gus
toner of the fact at the time OF sale.

by His Consul to Germany

BERLIN, December 1.-The government
of Nicaragua is represented here by Con-
sui General J. +. w PEN, who, IN
long interview appearing in the Lokal
Anzeixer today, minimizes the impression
which the dispatches from Washington
might make as To- the acts OF President
Zelaya.
The consul general SAYS Zelaya Is not
a tvrant hut on the contrary is a hu-
name. goud-hearted man, who is striving
TO maintain order I'm his country. Among
other things Mr.. Pein says:
III, as il appears. Groce and Cannon
were insurgents seeking to blow UP
government vessel then martial law came
properly into action against them.
The consul general saws he is informed
from Nicaraguan sources that Gen. fts-
trada. the insurgent leader. had been a
friend of Zelaya. and by the latter trust
ed with the coNernorship of the Atlantic
coast province; and. moreover. that he
used his official position tn foment a
revolution.
Mr.. Pein attributes no Significance TO
