/: A merchant of the town had to pay
the jobber 10 3-4 cents the pound for
sugar and the jobber sold it at a
small profit. He can't afford to sell
the sugar for II cents, the price fix
ed by the government. The govern
ment should see to it that the whole
saler does not overcharge, if it is
expected that the retailer is not to
charge more than II cents. AS a
rule the Job of regulating prices
should start back of the little retail
er.
Captain Joe Werts of the streets
has had the grass and weeds cut
down along Nance street from Boun-
darv to Main street and it helps the
appearance very much and gives the
editor a good view from the window
of his sanctum all the way down to
Main street. Here is where we DO
our work and we are glad to have
pleasant view. 1t helps, you know.
Now if Captain Werts would just
fill that hole in front of the gate
we would be that much more happy.
Thank you, Joe.
