HUCKsTERs ARE IN TROUBLE.
Their Peck Measures Were Found to
Be Below the Standard.

Kansas City, Kan, Feb. Peck
measures used by all twelve of the
hucksters inspected by State Inspector
John Kleinhans and City Inspector
Frank Lamborn here were found short
and were condemned and conhscated
and will be held as evidence. the
measures were short, varying from
45.77 cubic inches to as much as 1916
cubic inches. and in some instances 1t
would take five measures to make a
bushel.
The measures had been tempered
with by the hucksters that they might
give short measure by cutting off the
top or building in false bottoms In
one case the peck measures had
bottom so placed and held by straps
which would allow the bottom to go
I'D in the measure by holding it on
the hand, and in this way making the
customers believe they were getting a
full rounded UP peck of apples or po-
tatoeS.
1t is the object of the weight and
measure law to compel all products
to be sold by weight. and measures
can not be used unless agreed to by
the purchaser. The hucksters all have
city licenses and in this city last year
1T licenses were issued to them.
The dealers. knowing short meas
ures were being used, made complaint
for their own protection to the State
Board of Health. J. Thorp and E.
Pearson were arrested and fined in the
north city court 1880 each. and the
owners of the other short measures
will be tried later.

RULING ON SERVICE LAW.
Employees Time Begins Under Texas
Law When He Reports.

The attorney general of Texas has
rendered an opinion interpreting the
Texas statute which makes it unlawful
for any railway to permit any con-
ductor, fireman. engineer or brakeman
to be on duty for a longer period than
16 consecutive hours. The railways re-
qu1re engineers and firemen to be at
their engines 80 minutes before the
time fixed for the departure of their
trains 1t is the duty of such employees
during the 80 minute period to see that
proper supplies have been placed on the
engines, to oil the machinery, etc. The
state labor commissioner asked wheth
er, in computing the 16 hour period, this
30 minute period should be included.
The attorney general in reply, refer
red to an Interpretation which has been
placed by the interstate commerce COM
mission on the federal 16 hour law, in
which it is held that the employe goes
On duty at the time he begins to per-
form service or at which he is required
to be in readiness to perform service.
The attorney general finds that this
opinion is reasonable, and. therefore,
holds that under the Texas law the 16
hour term of service begins at the time
the employee reports for duty under the
rules or requirements of the company,
and not when the train actually begins
to move.

UNION PACIFIC IMPROVEMENTS
Will Spend 100000 at Kearney, Neb.
Other Big Plans


Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 1.-The Union

has now arrived in that city. 1t is
trans on four tracks can take coal
from the shutes at one time. 1t will
be built of steel. 1t is said other ter
Kearney and that a much larger sum
will be expended there before the
season is ended. By the beginning of
heavy traffic next fall the company
will have double track in service as
far west as North Platte. The dou-
BILE track bridge has been completed
at Columbus, this removing the last
bit of single track between Omaha
and Watson's ranch, west of Kear-
ney.
The work of re1aying the track on
the st. Joe & Grand Island is moving
along as rapidly as weather will per-
nit and this will be completed in a
few months. 1t has been reported
that the Grand Island will build from
Hastings to Kearney this summer,
thus connecting up a direct link for
the Union Pacific from Kansas City
to Kearney and west via Topeka, Ona-
ga, Marysville and Hastings.
The Union Pacific is now building
direct line from Dodd to Denver.
shortening it's mileage between Jules
burg and the Colorado capital city.
and a considerable amount of build
ing on the new line up the North
Platte river is looked for this season.

Goodbye sore feet, aching feet, swol-
len feet, sweaty feet, smelling feet, tired
feet.
Goodbye corns. callouses and bunions
and raw spots.
You've never tried anything like TIz
before for your feet. It is different
from anything ever before sold.
1t acts at once and makes the feet
feel remarkably fresh and sore-proof.
TIZ is not a powder. Powders and
ether foot remedies clog up the pores.
TIZ draws out all poisonous exudations
which bring on soreness of the feet
and is the only remedy that does. TIZ
cleans out every pore and glorlfies the
feet-your feet.
You'll never limp again or draw up
your face in pain, and you'll forget
about your ccrns. bunions and callouses.
You'll feel like a new person.
If you don't find all this true after
trying a box of TIZ, you can get your
money right back.
TIZ is for sale at all druggists at %
cents per box. or it will be sent you

INCREASE IN OAR SHORTAGE.
Effect of Severe Weather and Coal
Famine in Middle West.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. Recent re-
ports of the railroads showing in
creased operating expenses, due to
severe weather, are supplemented in
an interesting manner by the latest
report of car SURPRISES and shortages,
compiled by the American Railroad
association, issued today, and bringing
the data down to January 19. By this
it is shown that SURPRISES have de-
creased only slightly, the number of
less than at the time of the last re-
port The shortages, however, in
creased greatly, mounting from 49,
S93 to 24,992. an increase of 11,O99.
The most interesting feature, how
ever, is brought out by the analysis
total of shortages. The region show
ing the heaviest need for cars is the
group comprising Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan and Western Pennsylvania,
where the shortages totaled 6206, of
which 2,27S were coal cars. The
comparison is more striking in the
group comprising New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and East
ern Pennsylvania, where of total
of 1852 cars short, fully 4,452 are
coal cars. In West Virginia, North
and South Carolina, of a total short
age of 5,54S cars, 1917 are coal cars.
Railroad men look upon such figures
as these as bringing out in striking
fashion the other end of the self
same story as that told by the de-
creases in expense of operation in
cident to cold weather.
On the Canadian lines, which at
the time of the last report were the
only roads showing an increase in
need for cars, there is again an cas-
ed decline from Ala to 334, while sur
pIuses increase from 1926 to $500.

HUTCHINSON is WAITING.
Expects Big Announcements From
c. r. l. & p. Officials on Return.

c. r.. L. & p. Officials on Return.
Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. 1.-The
party of Rock Island officials who
were in Hutchinson yesterday, headed
by General Superintendent j. B.
Smalley of Topeka, will be back in
about a week. They will bring with
them officials representing each de-
partment to be affected by proposed
changes, and then will decide on the
scope of the improvements to be
made in the Hutchinson yards this
year.
The officials looked over the situa-
ton yesterday, and planned for some
new side tracks, and other features.
Superintendent Smalley was given in
sight to the immense railway bust
ness originating in Hutchinson, both in
freight and passenger lines. The low
er officials freely expressed to him
their ideas of the needed improve
ments. Mr.. Smalley admitted the
need of the better facilities here, and
said they would have to come.
There is an undertone about the
more at hand than surface indications
show. One Rock Island official gave
out the tip that there was chance
of the new passenger station becom-
ing a reality this year, in which case
the present passenger station will be
moved over north of the present site
and used as freight offices.
When the official party is here next
week the whole situation will be gone
over and decisions will be made.

MORE TALK OF INTERURBAN.
Proposed Line From Independence to
Topeka via Kansas City.

Independence, Kan. Feb. IA
meeting will b. held in a few days in
Kansas City to take up afresh the mat
ter of building the proposed electric
railroad from here to Kansas City and
Topeka. There was hitch in the af-
fairs and a representative of the COM
pany has been in Europe for several
months adjusting the. financial end of
the proposition, which is said to be
now in shape for carrying out the plan
1t is said that the first work will be
the construction of the road from this
city to Table Mound and Neodesha.
The promoters now feel that If they
had gone on with the work of con-
structing the line from this city to
Table Mound and Neodesha they
would have been materially aided in
their finances the past year.
The greatest mistake they made was
the discontinuance of construction
after completing the grade almost the
entire dist ice to the Mound. There
is no doubt the road would be a good
money maker.

company, which is under the manage

educate the employees of the company

themselves when meeting the public.
Nearly 1000 employees are now enrolled

lions are being received daily
What the Grabbed employe is likely to
do to a railroad is set forth wildly. He
is said to give the public a bad i'm

in unpopularity., which, in turn. may
lead to adverse legislation. The value
