Patriotism has rarely had so many
practical ways of manifesting itself as
in the present time. Sometimes we
have felt that for the most of us it was
largely talk. but now the way has been
made so plain that anyone who is
ready to help has the opportunity to
dc so If any pair of hands is idle
it is because they choose to be so.
The chance to work and the chance to
sacrifice are privileges open to all.

and as the point of the pencil is drawn
over the steel the resistance TO the

heat, etching the surface at the point

THE ANCIENT JOKE VI the iceman's scales which made

humor when il I, learned that similar enthusiastic weighing
machines seem common in several lines OF business here

OF the state bureau Of weights and measures indicates de
plorable inaccuracy in weights and measures IN the state

make so much difference to those who pay and pay and pay
for something they aren't getting Either way they have a
righteous grievance, and naturally feel tempted to throw
bombs at something.
The consumers prcdicament is made worse by the hn-
reau's admission that It is lacking in police powers 20 force

In this form Of highway robbery. However, the public
isn't entirely without redress. 1t can demand OF the deal

will not object to such a requirement. The other kind
can be summed until they will fail to prosper, even with
unfair advantage Of short weights. And to make sure they
arc right in their judgment OF grocers aud butchers, a good
investment would be a neighborhood weighing club, which
could chip in on a set Of old. fashioned %stecyards or other
simple and accurate weighing device to prove they are get

With prices where they are today, the ultimate consumer
cant afford to pay for the weight Of the butchers beety hand,
