STRAY NEWS FROM

The war against merchants who
cheat their customers by giving them
short weight or measure. is vigorous
ly continued by the Commissioners of
Weights and Measures. Many of the
"honest" farmers, whose baskets were
confiscated some time ago during q
market raid by the commissioner and
his deputies, actually had the cheek to
demand the return of the confiscated
baskets, saying that they needed them
in their business" They insinuated
that the baskets were of full measure
but when the commissioner offered to
pay 800 for every one of the seized
baskets that should prove full meas
ure provided the honest farmer
would pay 800 for every basket un-
der standard. not one of the farmers
had the courage to take the offer.
There were no services at the Sec
ond Reformed Church in Somerville. N.
u, the other Sunday, because the pas
tor failed to make his appearance. The
case was rather puzzling to the con-
gregation, as the pastor sent no word
of explanation. Not until the follow
ing day was the cause of his absence
ascertained. Some time ago he had
made an arrangement with a minister
in New York for an exchange of pull
pits on the last Sunday in April. Una
ware of the fact that there were five
Sundays in April, the pastor hurried
to New York on the morning of the
fourth Sunday, to preach in his col
leagues church. When he arrived at
the church a trine late he found his
colleague conducting service as usual.
Not until service was ended did the
New Jersey minister have an oppor-
tunity TO learn from his colleague that
there were five Sundays in April, at
least this year.

the good citizens of Yonkers have

that anything was wrong with them
1t was known that the figures were
placed upon the building by the late
DIR. Samuel Swift, a former mayor of
Yonkers and they naturally supposed
that the figures indicated that the
manor house had been built i'm 1852
Recent researches by the Historical
Association, however, have established
beyond doubt. that the Manor House
was not built until some time after
1920 and that DR.. Swift, although he
knew this, had the misleading figures
placed on the roof. for the sake Of ar
