BOGUS SCALES uNcovEREp
Report Is Made To State Commits.
sioner Of Astonishing condi-
ton In Southeast Iowa.

Des Moines.-Twenty-nin out OF
every thirty scales in the retail stores
of Iowa, so far as he has investigat-
ed, have been tempered with to cheat
the customer, according to a report
made to Commissioner Barney of the
food and dairy department by In
spector Flynn. Inspector Flynn has
completed tour OF southeastern
Iowa, giving practically all of his at
tention to the weight and measure
frauds.
The report says: Twenty-Five out
of every thirty scales which | ex.
amined found to have been tamper-
ed with in the interest of the deal
err The average loss is from one to
two ounces. The trick is done by
bending the dial on the side of the
scale which faces the customer SO
that it starts at from one to two
ounces ahead of the zero mark on the
scale. The customer seldom looks
at the scale before the article is put
onto 1t, but he always watches, il he
watches the scale at all, its appear
ance when the article is being weigh
ed. When the dial points to sixteen
ounces the customer is satisfied that
he has received full measure. If he
could see the other side of the scale,
that which is toward the dealer, he
would find that the dial registered
from fourteen to fifteen ounces.
Il find also that dealers over the
state are using the false bottom or
no bottom measures. l picked up
one of these at prominent Daven-
port store the other day. l carried
Ii in and the dealer said 1t held a
half bushel l filled it with potatoes,
weighed the crate into which the po-
tatoes were emptied, and found that
the half bushel measure was seven
pounds shy in legal weight. That
means a loss of fourteen pounds to
the bushel by buying your potatoes
by one of those new-fangled meas
ures."

SPLENDID CANADIAN
CROPS
Wheat, Oats and Barley UNI
,versaIly Good Throughout
Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta.

The reports that come to hand from
the wheat fields of the western Cana
Dan provinces show remarkably good
yields in all parts. Yields are record
ed of wheat going 35 and 40 bushels
in many places, and oats from 60 to.
100 bushels per acre. Barley and fax
are splendid. The thousands of Amer
leans throughout the United States
who have friends in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan or Alberta will be pleased
20 learn of the great success that
has followed their efforts. Many OF
these have not confined themselves to
the growing Of grain, but have also
gone into the cattle industry. On the
luxurious grasses that are so album
dant there, in almost all districts,
make this industry safe and profitable.
The land sales reported by the rail-
way companies and by the different
land companies show the great in
crease that will likely take place
during the next year in farming oper-
atoms. What has been said time and
time again may now be well repeated.
that there is no place on the Ameri-
can continent where the same oppor-
tunities are afforded the man looking
for a home, for the young man start
ing out in life. the man with grow
ing up family, who desires wider
scope for his ambition. The Cana
dian government agents located at
different points in the states will be
glad to advise the reader of the condi-
tons. and relate to him instances OF
the great success that has followed
farming in Western Canada.

irritated, and he would scratch 1t with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when We reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and 1t used to
itch and burn at night SO bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars. or

The temporary tax commission de-

no regard of the ability of the citi-

a general, uniform assessment upon
all classes of property.
The decision to recommend the ad
valorem system of assessment and
taxation was not reached, however,
until the commission has spent many
days in discussion, and then only by
division. 1t is understood that
when 1t comes time to make the rec

Beet Sugar Men Given a LIT.

ne sugar beet industry In iowa
was given a material lift by the
state railroad commission when it
made rule allowing some of the by
product to take the same rate as
corn and other animal foods.
When beet sugar is being manu-
featured there Is created a by-prod-
uct which makes an excellent feed
for cattle. Heretofore the beet sugar
manufacturers could not dispose OF
this by-product at a profit because of
the rate that was charged by the
railroads for its transportation.
BY reducing the rate to the corn
and general feed rate the commits
sion has made 1t possible for, this
new beet feed to compete with the
older kinds Of animal food. In this
way the promoters of the beet sugar
industry in Iowa will be enabled to
see more profits in the plants and 1t
Is believed that with this chance Of
adding to the profits Of the industry
there will be general stimulating
of the beet sugar industry in Iowa.

Reduced Rates On Eggs.

The state railroad commission has
ruled that egg case filters shall take
a minimum weight Of $4,000 pounds
instead of 10000 pounds as is now
the case. The rule becomes effective
at once. 1t will mean a big saving
In freight rates to Iowa egg shippers.
For instance, under the old rate II a
shipper sent only $4,000 pounds in a
car he had to pay for the extra 5000
because 10000 pounds was the mini
mum. Now he has no extras to pay
for because his $4,000 is the mini
mum.
