"SALE BY WEIGHT
STEP OF M'kINLEY

Housewives will soon be able to
buy everything they need in the vege-
table line by weight, thus being as
sured that they are getting all that
they are paying for. Marketmaster
Mckinley is spending some time visit
ing the merchants and ascertaining
their attitude on an ordinance which
would require sale of green stuff and
other garden truck and fruits by
weight.
Leading grocers who were consulted
yesterday said they heartily endorsed
the idea, some of them having already
adopted this method of selling goods.
They complain that without an ordi-
nance the peddlers and storekeepers
who sell only by measure are compel
ing unfairly with them. Ways in
which measures of potatoes, beans,
tomatoes and other vegetables may be
stacked to give the consumer less
than he is paying for were cited
AS soon as Mr.. Mckinley has OBJ
tanned the favorable consideration for
this plan, which has worked success
fully in other cities, he will take steps
to have an ordinance introduced into
council

The problem OF disposing of grain

22.-Sheriff HoTnbeck today or
dered raid upon a modern garden
of Eden, situated at Roosevelt
Point, three miles north of Pough-

that two men and two women have
been parading before the public
gaze without even a fig leaf to
protect them from the elements.
After a swim in the Hudson
river the quartet frequently parad-

that the engineers might overlook

the result of hanging out of the
windows of the cars.

tainted or too much skimmili is in
variably the cause of producing I'M

Ace Of Granite.

1t used to be thought that granite
was the oldest of all rocks and that II
formed the globes first crust. Now.
however. biologists believe that gran
lite may be of any age or epoch. The
GRANTEES found in Germany and the
Vosges mountains of France date from
one period of the worlds history. those
found in the British Isles from an en-.
trely different period and those found
In the United States from still other
periods. Enormous pressure, combin-
ed with heat and water. must have
been necessary TO produce granite.
Some scientists declare that the gran
ties In the highlands of Scotland must
have been formed when 10000 feet Of
everything rocks were piled above them
and that those of Cornwall required
10000 feet Of rock pressure. In other
localities it Is estimated that the pres
sures under which granite consolidated
must have been equal to that of an
everything mass Of rock nine miles In
thickness.--New York American.

No Longer a Corn Belt.r

The corn belt used to be Il strip of
country running generally from Penn
sylvonia to Kansas, and including Ohio,
Indiana. Illinois. Missouri and the
southern half of Iowa.
But the fashion in belts is changing,
as all fashions are liable to- do. The
corn belt is spreading itself out. 1t
goes further east and further west, and
most emphaticaly it is moving to the
north and south. Michigan. Wisconsin,
Minnesota and even the Dakotas and
Montana are now in the corn belt. The
southern states are knocking at the
door. Georgia, Alabama and the Caro-
linas are showing that hundred bush
els to the acre is nothing to them.
The corn belt in the future will ex-
tend from Canada to the Gulf of Mex
leo, and it will reach to the Rocky
mountains. If not beyond. 1t is no
longer belt but section. comprising
almost the entire arabic portion of the
United States, and may even include
