honesty In grading and measuring is subject universally 10 a fine. For, when the market don't know whether it is buying honest measure and proper grading or skimped measure and dis honest grading, 1t pays only for the latter-very, very seldom for the former. The farmer who sells pota- toes in full measure and proper grades usually has to take the price which is also paid for sacks short in measure and poor in grading.
 It would be 8 good thing for every justly dealing farmer in the land if there were an official standard estab- 1ished for his goods, whether potatoes or apples or hay or grains or cord wood, and penalties enforced against those who try to defraud, instead of, as now. against those who try to be honest.

The War Game

War is an extremely simple game. A number of armed men are sicked upon another body of armed men, and they engage in the highly exciting and diverting sport of maiming and slay- ing one another. The contestant which can slaughter the most combatants and starve the most non-combatants Is adjudged the winner. Simple, is it not?

There was an object lesson at that fire that will have the effect of changing present methods in at leas one particular. When the general alarm was sent in of course the Pe- quot company responded and stretched a line of hose and had a stream on the fire. From that time on until the recall was sent in the city was prac tically without fire protection. The eight companies were all at work at the Pomerantz fire and with nearly all the hose carried in active usel It would have taken from ten to fifteen minutes for any of the companies to have picked up hose from the tangled mass and go to a fire in any other part of the city. Hereafter when a general alarm is sent in the automo- bile of the Pequot Hose company will make a run to the Niagara Engine house and take station there as a re- lief fire apparatus, ready for immed- fate response to duty. A quick run and prompt work. such as the Pequots can do, would hold almost any fire in check until the arrival of the main body of firemen.
