| Here are half a dozen timely tips
| TO housewives who are preparing to
purchase their winter supplies of po-
| tatoes. City Sealer Harry D. Reel
has issued the little warnings in or
der to protect the purchaser from the
| occasionally INSCRIPTIONS huckster.
| The tips" follow:
Be careful in dealing with the
huckster who doesn't have a regular
| route.
IF there be more than two men on
the wagon be doubly careful.
-. Watch the measuring; the fact
that the measure is sealed is no proof
that you will get full measure.
Measures must be heaped; not
level full
Unless you are acquainted with
the dealer do not let him take your
basket to his wagon to fill it; make
hlm bring the product to the house.
! Don't get the impression that all
huckers are dishonest for there are
many honest dealers and the inten-
ton of these tips is to guard against
the dishonest type"
There's an enterprising lad living
in the vicinity of Crescent and Berry
when he sees it and knows how to
make opportunity spell cash.
| Since the opening of the new plant
| of the Merchants Ice Company. in
Berryhill, near Crescent. this youth
who is scarcely ten years old has
operated a sort of ice route of his
own-and incidentally punctured the
visions of free ice which residents in
this vicinity have had.
This embryo businessman has con-
| tracted with the ice company for the
broken parts of the large ice cakes
that fall to the ground when the ice
wagons are loading. Then, when he
has small wagon load of good-sized
fragments, he calls upon the neigh
| bors. By cutting his prices the lad
has put a "crimp" i'm the ice business
of the bigger firms-in this limNed
area at least.
If anyone would have predicted ten
or fifteen Years ago that men, women
and children would go bathing at the
| base of the river bank in this city
there would have been comments upon
his idea of propriety or desirability OF
water. In those days the river front
was part of the sewer system of the
| town. which is all that need be said.
Yet on Saturday afternoon there were
I people in bathing suits wading about
! inside of the distance which we used
stepping from the front steps to en-
! joy a swim. There seems to be good
September bathing at home this year.
Sportsmen who have been tangled
! up by the conflict of the State and
federal regulations over shooting of
i ducks have been calling up the Of
| fees of State authorities who look
after the furred, filmed and feathered
| charges of the State and asking for
information that will get them ducks
| and not policemen. The State has q
different law from the national gov
ernment The upshot is that the
! federal law now goes and ducks, eX-
cept a couple of specified varieties
| such as swans, may be shot from Oc-
tober 1 to January Is, except in the
Ohio Valley.
Men in charge of various depart
ments of the State government are
making an effort to see how much
food the people of Pennsylvania have
on hand. The Department of Agri-
cultures bureau of statistics has sent
out calls for reports from its cores
lpondents on the grain crops and the
fruit yield as of October /. The dairy
and food commissioner has called on
cold storage warehouses for a report
on the amount of foods held in stor-
age on the same day.
Ex-senator Walter McNichols, of
Scranton, was among visitors to the
city Saturday. He is actively interested
in business affairs in his section of
the State and may be heard from po-
litically again.
