In view OF the fact that disbarnent

me with being DIR, I In open court,
and while the court was considering

VIII Blackwell and Bob Blackwell
charged with murder, and while said
cause was under my charge at Pan
anna City, Fla. last December, and the
further fact that each of the Pensa-
cola papers gave considerable promi-
hence to the matter through their
columns at the time, and because
many people have believed that the
charge was true and that / had been
disbarred from the practice of law
In the state of Florida, or soon would
be, which has caused me great finan-
cial loss and much humiliation Of feel
ing, 1 will ask you in justice to me to
publish the order of court Diminishing
the case against me, which said order
was made on the 2Sth uIt. and filed
on the 30th ult, but which has escaped
the attention OF both of the Pensacola
papers thus far. This order of court
exhonerates me on the ground that
the charge was untrue.
Kindly permit me also express my
thanks and appropriations to the fol-
lowing lawyers who had faith in me
both as man and as a worthy MEM
Der of the bar. and who generously
and loyalty volunteered their services
to defend me against the charge
which they did not believe to be true,

SO-CALLED BUSINESS.

The vendors who ply their trade on wheels are
coming in for their share of publicity and Com
missioner Hinrchs has introduced an ordinance
which requires them to establish themselves 200
feet away from business houses which carry the
same line of goods.
In view of this movement, it might be well to
look more closely into the business of those who
ply their trades on the streets. At the time
when the world is in state of chaotic revolt
from every precedent of the past, it is neverthe-
less well to remember that the old established or
der of things have their place, and that every
thing that is new is not necessarily safe.
For months a travelling medicine vendor has
piled his trade on street corners and sold his
"cure-alP to those who would buy. yet it is to
be doubted that there is any virtue in his wares
Many of the vendors who go about selling
their wares might well be Investigated, for other
reason than those of competition.
Some travelling fortune-tellers, dressed in the
garb of the East, have recently appeared in PEN
sacola, and have been telling fortunes" openly
on the streets.
This is not time to let down the bars to IA
kris. 1t is time to place about every enterprise
every safeguard of the law. and to take cogni-
Zance of every so-called business and how it
is operated.

time. The exigencies of that conflict did not
bring about any advance in the postal rates,
however, and later on, in 1885, not only were let
Ter rates reduced from to cents, but the
weight allowed for ordinary letters was increased
from one-half to full ounce
These rates remained in force until the ex-
penses of the world war necessitated the increase
in 1917. With the coming of peace Uncle Sam
has FASTENED to restore the old rates.

*<Meats in Storage"

Every working day of the year rs, 5000, 900 pounds
ofmeat are required to supply home and export needs
and only 10 per cent Of this is exported
These facts must be kept in mind when consid-
ering the u. S. Bureau of Markets report that
June 1, 1919, there were 1,348 900 900 pounds Of
meats in cold storage If the meat in storage was
placed the market it would only be 20 days supply
This meat is not artifcially withheld from trade
channels to maintain or advance prices.
Meats in storage consist Of
65 per (approxinnate) hams bacon, ETC., In
process of curing. 1t takes 80 to 90 days in
pickle salt to complete the process
10 per is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year.
per cent is lard This is only four-ffths of
pound per capita, ard much Of it will have
to go to supply European needs.
10 per is frozen beef and lamb, part Of
which is owned by the Government and was
intended chiefly for overseas Shipment.
this all diverted to domestic trade chan
nes it would be only ~ lbs per capita-a
days supply.
From this it will be that meats in
storage" represent merely unfinished goods in pro-
Of curing and the working supply necessary to
the consumer steady flow of finished product

THE FAIR.

The Six h Annual MpIIette
County Far was held at Wood
this week. AS to whether or
not it was a success, depend, all
together on your point of view.
There was Il good exhibit OF field,

bits, and from this point of view
the Fair this year vas a success,
but from an amusement point ~
view it was undoubtedly consid-
erably of a disappointment and
failure There was no set pro-
gram OF attractions and what
ever there was in that line was
inpromptu. Tie first day was
devoted 20 taking and listing and
arranging the exhibits IN the var
ious departments, and there was
absolutely nothing doing in the
amusement line ON that day.

UNCLE SAM WANTS PHOTOGRAPHS OF
 WAR ACTIVITIES

In order that Bridgeport may be adequately represented in the pie torial record of the war, the War de- partment at Washington has request ed the Bridgeport War bureau to col feet photographs of all sorts touch Ing on war activities. The War bu- reau has delegated the task of such collection to committee consisting of ]. Edward Elliott, George s. flaw ley and George Waldo, Jr., which met yesterday and outlined a plan to ob- tain the photographs desired.
 Solicitation of local factories who engaged in war work, of professional photogra phers and of amateurs will be made. In order to reach the great mass of "snapshotters," the commit tee asks that anyone having negatives of war activities of any sort send 10 the Bridgeport War bureau, room 600, First Bridgeport National bank building, two prints, one for the War department and one to be retained in the archives of the city of Bridge port as a permanent record of the city's interest in the great war.
 Not only are photographers of in- dustrial activities wanted but those of parades. drives, fetes, home gar den. housing and other comprises that furthered the struggle for de- mocracy. There must be thousands of such amateur photographs in this 1 city that would be valuable additions to the record. and the committee would appreciate their contribution
 to the collection. Each photograph should be labled with the name of 1 the donor and the subject of tho pho 1 tOgraDh.

NEW INDUSTRIES !. :.
May LOCATE IN
ST. JOHNSBURY

IT st. Johnsbury does not get
some new industries it will not be the
fault of the hustling president of the
Commercial Club, Edward G. Asselin,
and Others in that live-wire organiza-
ton who are trying to put st. Johns
bury on the map. Tuesday Mr.. Lac
gillette, representing the Tauber, Lip
ton Company of New York, visited
st. Johnsbury to get more particulars
concerning the new shirt factory
which may come here.
Mr.. LacOllette was taken around
town by President Asselin of the
Commercial Club, Messrs. Smythe
Leach and Beamegard, and given all
the information possible. He seemed
very favOrably impressed with tho
Hooker property that is now vacant
and left town promising to return
again in about ten days when it is
hoped that the company will decide
to start a factory here.
Wednesday two officers of the Wes-
sell, Nickel 4 Gross Co., of New
York, piano. action manufacturers
came to St. Johnsbury and were
shown around town by. President AS
selin, the secretary of the Commercial
Club, and George w. Caldbeck. The
company was represented by Arthur

George L. Kocnig, treasurer, and they
assured the st. Johnsbury folks that
they were going to locate in Yer
mont somewhere because they wanted
to be nearer the lumber country and
also wanted to get away from the
labor conditions that exist in New
York city where their big factory is
now located.
The company use some 100000 feet
of rock maple and manufacture piano
actions, piano hammers, and other de-
licate parts of the pianos. They sup
ply their product to all the leading
piano manufacturers in the United
States and under normal conditions
employ about $50 hads.
If they located in st. Johnsbury
they would not start with this mum
ber, but the concern is the leader of
its kind in the country and asks for
no capital to continue their industry.
