CONSUMERS ARE
SHORT WEIGHTED
COMMISSIONER TAKES PRECAU.
TIoNs TO PREVENT FUTURE
SWINDLING.

War has been declared on dealers
In short weights and measures by
State Commissioner Price In this
connection he said:
My attention has been called to the
fact that in a number OF cases the
people OF Georgia, consumers OF vari-
Gus products that are being shipped
into the state, are being deceived with
short weights and measures.
Il find sacks of bran supposed to
weigh 100 pounds which only weigh
50 or 80. Sacks of wheat which
should weigh "a pounds weigh only %
and % Now a pound shortage on
wheat sacks would cheat the people
OF Georgia out Of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars per year.
Il have called the attention of
number of prominent dealers to these
facts and believe that they will be
promptly corrected. 1t is not the fault
of the Georgia dealer, but of the
northern and western manufacturer
from whom he buys. / think that, If
he will call his sellers attention to
the requirements Of the Georgia law
and will decline to accept any but
full weight shipments, there need be
NO trouble in the future"
Mr.. Price says further that he will
send his inspectors over the state to
investigate the matter, and while not
blaming the wholesalers and dealers
fol- the short weights, as they buy
the products In good faith, it is his
intention to obtain close check on
the manufacturers at ault and notify
them that in future the products
must be full weight or they will be
refused permission to do business in
the state OF Georgia.

cold night he gave his blankets to
a person with five children, and
crawled into the ticking of his bed
for warmth When a kind friend, who
often brought him food, came in the
morning, he was obliged to break in
the door. as Goldsmith could not ex-
tricate himself from his bed.
"Obtaining a small scholarship, he
gave a little party in his room in
honor of the event. A savage tutor ap-
peared in the midst of festivities and
knocked him down. So incensed was
Goldsmith that he ran away from
the college, and with twenty-five cents
in his pocket started for Cork. For
three days he lived on eight cents a
day, and, by degrees, parted with
nearly all his clothes for food"
And so reads the life history of a
boy who was handicapped by dwarf
ish frame, a smallpox-pi face,
poverty and a keenly sensitive nature,
but who overcame all obstacles and
became one of the leading men of let
ters of his time, and who today is
honored and revered. not only as a
literary genius, but as pure noble
soul. whose great heart responded to
all in trouble or suffering.

Ralph took it all good naturedly
and went into the game determined
to help beat the East End. But he
couldn't help thinking of the satlsfac-
ton he had enjoyed in beating the
rugs. 1t was undoubtedly the wrist
motion that did the work he thought
that peculiar snap of the wrists.
In the second inning he came to
bat. Two of the boys had got on
base and now Captain Cole was call
ing for a hit.
Come on. Ralph, old boy" Cole
shouted. Don't fail us again. Give
us little hit just this once"
Ralph gripped his bat more tightly
than ever, braced himself at the side of
the plate, and waited while a couple
of bad ones came across. The next
ball pitched was straight over the
plate, even with his waist Ralph
stepped forward, swung his bat sharp
ny and just as it met the bail he gave
his wrists that peculiar snap-and the
ball went sailing like a bullet on a
line for center fieldi
1t rose just enough to clear the
fence. and while the players on both
teams stood still in complete surprise,
Ralph ran around the bases complet-

runs. the West Enders gave loud
cheer and ran to pat him on the back

Doing the best L can," said Ralph
sullenly.
"rhen let me have the stick" she
said.
NShe grasped the broom stick firmly
with both hands and brought it
against the rug with a great smack.
Soon the dust was flying as it had
never done when Ralph was beating
the rug. Ralph noticed that just as
the stick met the carpet his mother
gave it a peculiar snap with her
wrists, so that it landed with sharp
crack. He felt a bit ashamed of him
self.
Hit the rug squarely and 1t will
do some good. Now you take the

Ralph took 1t and tried to initiate
his mother. He brought it hard
against the rug with a snappy motion
of his wrist. The dust flew in clouds.
"Good" encouraged his mother.
"That's it. You're doing better than
1 can do" she said and then went

poor minister, who was obliged to do
some agricultural work along with his
church duties to keep the wolf from

from his fiel- and his parish amount

When the little Oliver was only six
years old he almost died of smallpox.
and his pitted face made him the
laughingstock of all the boys of the
village. This often caused the SEN
sitive child to weep bitter tears in
the solitude of some corner where
he found a hiding place from his tor
mentors. At eight years OF age the
boy showed a fondness for books, de-
vouring all that came under his eye.
His mother was anxious for him to
receive college education but the Ia
theirs finances did not promise any
such advantage.
One day, when some young folks,
visiting divers sisters, were dancing
at his uncle's house, Oliver sprang
upon the floor and began to join in
the merriment. The fiddler, to make
a jest of the child, cried out above
the music of his fiddle and the noise
of the dancers feet. See Asop?
This thrust-heartless as it was-cut
the unprepossessing child to the
quick, but it did not rob him of his
gift of repartee, which even at that
time, was pretty well-developed. He
replied in a loud, quick voice:
"Heralds. proclaim aloud! all saying
See Aesop dancing and his monkey
playing"
Thus the joke was turned upon the
cruel fiddler who had thought to have
loud laugh at the expense of the
sadly pox-marked little boy. The
laugh was on the fiddler.
The following extract is quoted
from Goldsmith's biographer:

father finally earned a better salary
