HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The students of the High School
ere very enthusiastic over the an
nouncement this morning that
"Strongheart" will be given again.
Some missed it Saturday night and
anyho it means more money for ath-
letics. The baseball season is on now
and this is heavy drain on the treas
ury. If enough money is secured from
this and like sources there will be no
necessity of an admission fee to any
baseball games played at the High
School.
The girls ho made such a hit in the
chorus Saturday night were coached
by Miss Cairns earlier in the day. The
idea was sprung Saturday morning
and the girls worked it up in good
shape. They will appear again to-
night.

How Much Does 1t Weigh?

"How much does it weigh?' or
"How much does it measured" These
two questions today are as common as
"How much does it cost?' These
questions need not be cause for re-
Election on the commercial integrity
of fair-minded merchants, for they
ask the same questions and reweigh
and remeasure their purchases.
The business of housekeeping, If
such it may be classified, and presided
over by the housewife, involves the
expenditure for commodities of bill
lions of dollars annually, and in q
sense represents the largest business
in the world. General indifference
and lack of application on the part
of the housewife is first cause for
fraudulent weights and measures.
1t is the duty of buyers Of food
stuffs, to the honest merchant as vel
as yourselves, to check the weight OF
all commodities purchased by you
Every housewife should have a SET
of weights and measures by which
purchases may be checked. They
should be tested and sealed by the To-
cal sealer.
1t is surprising how little attention
the average purchaser gives to wheth
er they receive the full amount paic
for or not If it was a case of short
age in change it would be differen
and correct change would be demand
ed. 1t is right and proper to see th'
weighing operation and know that th'
scale pointer is at zero and comes t'
a rest before register is made. Ont
habit or custom that should be dis
continued is buying 25 cents, so cent
or $100 worth. Always buy definite
quantities and know the price b.
weight, measure or numeral count
never by the sack, load or % cent
worth. These terms mean nothing. b.
definite in your purchases.
Do not think by these suggestion
that every dealer is crook. Far from
J it. In fact the great majority arr
Imperial Valley press., 1916-03-27

should take steps to have the offender
punished by complaint being made t.
the local sealer of weights and meas
ures giving details of the imposition
1t is the duty of the sealer to pre-
vent further fraud by the tradesman
1t will not be necessary for any one
making a complaint to appear in mu-
nicipal court as complainant or wit
ness in the action.
The official receiving such COM
rlaint need not take action upon the
facts of the particular case presented.
It's only effect may be the pointing out
of a merchant whose business meth
DDS are questionable, and he may then
proceed to obtain information and evil
dence on his own account.
Let it be understood that the De-
rartment of Weights and Measures is
your department, created to protect
YOU and the honest dealer in the mat
ter of honest weights and measures.
Weigh and measure unto others as
YOU would that others should weigh
and measure unto you.
The department urges your COOP
Grafton in the enforcement of the
weights and measures law and you
can greatly aid by reporting any IL
regularity to the County Department
of Weights and Measures.
