Fisheries Department needed $780,
900 to complete hatcheries and
much more for stocking streams for

any of the other speakers.
The bill forbidding horse races

amendment.
The Bolard bill providing that
legal advertisements and official no
tices shall be published only in
newspapers printed in the English
language was ordered affirmatively
, reported by the House Judiciary
Local Committee after an extended
discussion. The vote was 10 to 3.
The bill was opposed on the ground
that it eliminated requirement for
advertising in Italian, Yiddish and
other newspapers.
The principal argument at the
hearing of the House educational
committee on the Sterling bill to

that the same men had been re-
appointed year after year, resulting
| in continuity of directors. Com.
plant was also made that the Board
was not energetic enough. The COM
! mittee will have hearing for the
| Pittsburgh people on the bill next

NOT FULL MEASURE
RETAIL DEALERS AND CONSUM.
ERs SHORT IN GASOLINE
MEASURE.

Vermilion, June 20.-That retail
dealers and consumers have suffered
much loss through. short measure oil
gasoline and kerosene in barrels is
shown by the result of an investi-
cation carried on by the state food
and drug department. II has been
shown that many jobbers have not
only been invoicing a higher number
of gallons than the barrels contained,
but that in some instances at least
the amount called for on the invoices
was more than the maximum capac-
ity Of the barrels. The state law
now requires that every barrel in
which these commodities are shipped
or sold shall be plainly labeled to
show its true net contents in gallons.
All jobbers have been repeatedly
warned by the department and con-
ditions are rapidly improving. but
purchasers of gasoline and kerosene
in barrels should carefully note
whether the net contents as marked
on the barrels agrees with their In
voices.
