placed himself far above animals in intel

shows himself absolutely devoid of reason.
Take, for instance, man who is all
ambition for boarding up money. he has
worked the best part of his years, spent all
his energy, denied himself the necessaries
of life, sacrificed even his children upon

Iowa Law Of Weights and Measures
Does Not Provo Satisfactory.
Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines. April 23.-The next leg
islature will be asked to make further
changes in the Iowa law as to weights
and measures. The state now has, in
fact, two standards. one by measure
and one by weight. for all ordinary
products. Last year. as tho result of
agitation, great many merchants
commenced to sell potatoes. apples,
beans. etc, by weight instead of by
measure and for time this seemed
growing in popularity: but the state
inspectors now report that the mer-
chants are going back to the measure
system, largely because the customers
do not insist upon the other. With the
law changed so as to give someone
authority to enforce it the use of
weights instead Of measures can be Sc
cured.
