CHEAPENS RICHMOND
MAYOR TAKES ACTION

=
Street corner fakirs must find other
fields than Richmond to exploit in the
future, Mayor Robbins announced to-
day.
III there is anything in the world
that shows up a town it is a street
fakir selling cure-alls from a wagon,
with "a blonde woman standing back
of him with. snakes twisted about her
neck. Mayor Robbins remarked.
Most street fakirs claim to be hon.
orably' discharged soldiers, and under
the state law they. can gull,the public
without molestation or license. But,
the mayor says, County Auditor Bow
man informed him that ex-soldiers
must properly identify themselves be-
fore engaging in such business. He
said he would require complete identi-
fication in the future, which, he antic-
ipates,. will. be a difficult requirement
for nearly every cure-all merchant.

The average 1914 cost of sugar pro-
duced and sold was $7S per ton com
pared with $S3 per ton in 1918. The
