REQUESTS
SENATOR TO VOTE
FOR FEARING BILL

petition asking that Senator Nc
Conaha and Representative Judkins
support the Gearing bill which pro-
vides for the sale of fruits and vege-
tables by weight, is being circulated
by Marketmaster Mckinley. Mr. Nc
Kinley has just returned from the
state meeting of weights and seals in
spectors, where the Gearing measure
was endorsed Sale of these commodi-
ties by weight, both wholesale and re-
tail, will guarantee the housewife what
she is entitled to for her money
Mr.. Mckinley probably will be one
of the inspectors in the state to be
appointed a deputy sanitary official.
The sealers agreed that the market
masters should have the power to or
der meat dealers to clean up their
wagons as we'll as to inspect their
scales.
Another announcement made as the
result of the state meeting was that
a state inspector would visit Richmond
soon to test prescription scales, which
the sealers believe are corroded and
not giving the correct weight.
The state organization of sealers
went on record as favoring the testing
Of loaf bread for standard weight
and compelling meat men to mark
each package sold with the correct
weight to insure that each customer
will receive the same weight for his
money. Mr. Mckinley said, however,
he believed this was too stringent,
and that he would make no attempt to
demand such action Of local butchers.

INCINERAT0RS GAIN
HODCIN'S APPROVAL
Inspector Says Wagner Fur
naces Will Burn Garbage
Without Any Odor.

Building Inspector Hodgin. who has
just returned from Iron Mountain
Michigan, where he was sent to in
spect the Wagner incinerators in the
crematory in that city, says the new
garbage disposal system is a complete
success, and that the local board of
public works would make no mistake
in installing three or four ofthese in
Generators at the city crematory.
Those incinerators will cremate
anything from dead horses to spoiled
fruit and without the slightest odor,"
Hodgin said today. "The Iron Noun
tain crematory is located in the cen
ter of town and people living on all
sides of it told me there was absolute
ly no odor City officials and citizens
are thoroughly delighted with the
plant.
Three or four of the Wagner in
cinerators installed at our crematory
would be sufficient to dispose of all
the garbage. trash and refuse In the
city at minimum expense, because
a ton of coal will cremate four and a
half tons frefuse. Now We have to
send about half of our garbage to the
country"
There is an appropriation of $1,000
for a new crematory, but the Wagner
incinerators can be installed in the
old building for about $4,000, and the
board probably will purchase them.

A willingness to aid in any move
ment that was for the betterment of

writes that wages were from $1.75 to
81 when the men organized and that
through it's efforts the scale has been
raised to s315. The union includes
in it's membership eighty-five per cent
of the best carpenters in the city.
Mr.. Gritty writes:
"The local in Richmond was the
first in the state to take up the car

giving it their hearty approval and
placng it's local rooms at the disposal
of the school board as a school for

PETROGRAD, Feb. 13-Gloom per-
vades the Russian capital today. De-
spite the announcement that the Rus
sian retirement from East Prussia was
for the purpose of choosing their own
battle ground, the public is showing
uneasiness over the situation. They
cannot understand why after receiving
optimistic reports of the steady ad-
vance of the Cars forces into Ger
man territory the statement should be
issued showing that the offensive of
the Russians was checked and they
are driven back eighty miles In their
own territory.
The determined nature Of the Ger
man op perations in the Mazurian lakes
district destroys any supposition that
this movement on part of the Kaiser's
forces Is merely one to distract atten-
tfon and divert forces from the main
issue In Poland. It is believed here
that this latest movement Is but the
beginning Of a series of long and act.
