Congress and Short Weight Ice

For some reason, there is fierce outburst
~hen householder shorweghted coal there is when
he is shortweighted ice.
And recently informed by the Superintendent Of
Weights and Measures there has been outbreak Of short
weighing by ice
As reprehensible as this practice is cannot but call
attention to the fact that the real remedy lies with Con-
gres and further than that to call attention again to the
silly system of government whereby nearly half million
people at the mercy of any interruptions ice man until
the Congress of the United States nerenes You know
this is VOTEIESS Town
In other words have law IN this enlightened
munity requiring ice to sell ice by weight You
can ask for tencent piece quarter piece, or forty
cent piece and IN this situation he give you ANY
THING he chooses but under the PROPER law already
suggested in the CrOsser BILL the ice would be legally
bound TO give you weight by the pound
Now does not stagger you to realize that the
machinery which declared Germany must be set IN
motion, with much creang and groaung, to regulate the
sale Of ice in one cityi w
The same machinery, set up with much care and

J. SANDERS, president Of the
new Arcade Company, objected to
the story of the experience Of
WILLIAM WAUDBY, who tried 10
get ice and could not from the Ar
cade. Mr.. Waudby claimed that an
ice cream manufacturer could get
ice, while private bouseholders went
iceless. Ny explanation from the
Food Administration was that the
Arcade was "hard put" in the warm
spell, and HAD to fill certain con-
tracts.
Says Mr.. Sanders:
"The fact of the matter is, we
have no valuable contracts to fill,
and we have been acting under or
ders Of the Food Administration to
the letter. Our only difficulty arose
from the fact that we did not have
enough ice to meet the enormous
demand made upon Us.
after considerable difficulty the
food administrator has very wisely
solved the knotty problem by in
structing US to use our entire output
for the benefit of dealers in food and
for private consumers, and since
this ruling has been in effect we
have been able to take care of the
public's wants without difficulty"

Gallacher-Collier

At the Baptist Parsonage,
April 18th, with the Rev. Gard
ner officiating, Harry A. Gall
acher and Ida G., Collier were
united in marriage. A few close
relatives and nearest friends
were present, the wedding being
by mutual agreement, a quiet
affair. The bride is native of
White Oaks, where her parents
now reside, and she has many
friends in that locality who wish
her much future happiness. The
groom is a Carrizozo boy and
therefore is well known among
his many friends and associates,
all of whom join in wishing the
newly married couple a life of
joy and unmolested happiness.

HOME COMING SHORT

AS announced the latter part
of last week, train load of sailor
boys passed through Carrizozo,
and among the four hundred,
were three of our home boys,
namely, Eb Jones, Mike Barnett
and Bert Holland. To say the
sailors we're we'll received, would
be putting it mildly. The Car
rizozo Eating House, in its GUS
tomary style of accommodating
crowds like this, had everything
arranged for a welcome recep-
ton for the boys, every available
space being occupied with tables.
Mrs. Gurney assumed the role
of Mother" to the boys, which
was much commented on and
highly appreciated. AS one of
the boyn was heard to remark,
Home is just like this!"
After the boys had enjoyed
their evening meal. they were
escorted about the city and had
it not been that time was so
short, a public reception would
have been given in their honor.
Our home boys did of a certainty
look fine, and show signs of good
treatment at the hands of Uncle
Sam.
The train remained for about
two hours, after which the -four
hundred sailors (who are firemen
in the service) answered the
call of IAN Aboard" and started
on their long trip to Hampton
Roads, where it is very likely
they will soon set sail for foreign
waters to engage in the conflict

Timely Assistance

Last week a couple arrived in
town and camped on the lot
back of Kelley's warehouse.
The man was in a pitiful con-
dition, being in the last stages
of tuberculosis. The lady's con-
dition was not as deplorable as
his, but sad enough as it was.
The attention of charitably
disposed citizens we're attracted
to the case. They found that
these people were totally desti-
tute and steps were taken
to relieve their condition. Their
personal property consisted OF a
few cooking utensils, some
scanty bed clothing, and a team
of burros to carry them to their
destination. Captain. John
Baird, Frank Richards. Esca
Kelley, with others furnished
the needy with food, clothin, g
and a purse of money to carry
them to Alamogordo, where it is
hoped they will meet with people
as charitable as those in Carrizo-
70.
