In cutting the high cost of living one
of the important points that the con-
sumner must insist upon with food. fuel
and textile merchants is a fair system
of weights and measures.
The United States bureau of standards
has established certain standards of
weight. measurement. time. etc. by
which all other measures are guided and
corrected. In addition each state de-
termines for itself certain regulations Of
" Fights and measures to govern the sale
of articles within state boundaries. Each
housewife should familiarize herself with
the regulations of her own state, should
supply herself with reliable scale for
weighing purchases. and then keep a
careful eye upon her purchases to see
that dealers are conforming to state
laws.
Laws differ in each state. but the
landlords adopted in Chicago are fairly
typical For instance there is a standard
,or bread to which all bakers must con-
FORM A lightweight loaf should be re-
ported at once to the local department
of weights and measures. or to the state
department that the consumer may be
protected against shorr weights
In Chicago a one-pound loaf is the
standard. Each loaf must have affixed
TO 1t a label. inch square. stating the
weight of the loaf and the name of the
baker or manufacture Those selling
bread must weigh 1t In the presence of
the. purchaser il requested to do so.
The standards of milk and cream re-
CURE that the cover cap Of every bot
tie must bear in indelible letters the
name Of the person firm bottling the
milk and must be marked with the bot
ties exact capacity.
Persons or firms selling ice must sell It
BY avoirdupois weight, and IL must be
weighed at the time Of delivery by the
delivery man scales adjusted and
sealed by the inspector of weights and
nieas ures. -. 1880.
For fuel, the driver or delivery man
must be provided with ticket bearing
the name of the seller of the fuel. and
marked with the net weight of the fuel
ordered by the purchaser. If the buyer
SO demands the fuel must be reweighed
in his presence on a scale designated by
the city inspector of weights and meas
ures.
All ear corn. potatoes. coal, large
fruits, vegetables and other bulky ar
ticles sold by dry measure Quart, peck
or busheD shall be sold by heaped meas
ure according to the Chicago stand
ards.
Every cons inner is required to pay in
full for the goods he purchases and
should require from the merchants full
weight and measure of the goods bought.

suffered on the crop of 1918. A large

GET soUTHS VIEWPOINT
ON COTTON SITUATION

Columbia, June 12.-J. SkottoWe
Wannamaker, president of the Am
erican Cotton Association, is daily
receiving letters from members OF
Congress acknowledging receipt OF
information sent them by the associ'
alton regarding the cotton situation
and promising protection for the
South.
The following letter from Repre-
sentative M. o. Mclaughlin of the
Fourth Nebraska District was re-
.eived today and Mr.. Wannamake1
says it is typical of the replies that
are coming in from the Northern and
Western representatives:
81 beg to acknowledge receipt OF
YOUR communication of May 28th
setting forth the cost of the produc'
ton and giving valuable informa,
ton as to the cotton industry and its

house system is less than half this
average loss per bale on the entire
1918 crep caused by country dam
age"
However, the average country
damage" loss per bale on the 1918
crop is not a fair index to the actual
loss on individual lots Of weather
damaged cotton as is shown by the
following instances which have late
ly come to the attention of Commits
sioner Smith.
A farmer recently sold 16 bales Of
cotton which were left in the weather
after ginning. The rotten, weather
damaged cotton in this lot amounted
to $500 pounds or over four bales
The loss in money amounted to $3.50
at 80 cents a pound. This farmer
could have warehoused his 16 bale!
in almost any warehouse in the State
system, had there been room for it

for six years for $500 and at th
same time it would have been il
sured against fire.
A second farmer disposed Of 8
bales of cotton week or so ago o
which the country damage" amount
ed to 1900 pounds, a loss at 30 cent
a pound of $2,250. He might hay
put, his 60 bales in a State war;
house, thus protecting it from tH
weather and against fire, kept
there for the six months it lay ro|
ting in his yard and saved at leaI

Mr.. Smith pointed out yesterdi
that with the removal Of all COVER

there was no reason now why far

President Wannamaker said this
afternoon that other members OF
Congress had written him thanking
him most heartily for the informa-
ton. One representative stated that
the letter gave him the viewpoint OF
the South and had opened his eyes
regarding the cost of production of

"It is not very pleasant subject
to dwell upon but we are obliged to
admit" said President Wannamaker
today "that there has been right
much. prejudice against the South in
the North and West. I have felt all
along that thi swas due to lack of in
formation in the North of conditions
that prevail in the South. The North
erner has an idea that cotton can be
produced for a little of nothing, and
that practically all that the Southern
planter gets for it is clear profit.

HAD MACHINE GUN TO
HALT GERMAN OPERA
But McRea Doesn't Tell Who
Planted 1t or Stopped Riot.

A sort OF post-mortem statement on
the stopping last week of the proposed
German operetta performance in the
Lexington Theatre was retailed last
night to 800 wounded fighters at meet
ing in the Sunshine Rest, East Forty
fourth street 1t was made by William
@. McRae, said once to have been a
wireless operator aboard the L. S.
Pennsylvania. who halls from Georgia
and now is secretary OF the 'For Amer
lea League" which McRae said is being
formed to look after the interests of men
discharged from the military service
Here is what McRae said New York
folk in general and the police in par
ticular did not know OF the preparations
made to make certain that no German
music should offend the metropolis:
"Mayor Hylan would not have stopped
the proposed performance OF German
opera at the Lexington Theatre on the
night OF March 10 II he had not known
that we would and little did the police
know that there were two machine guns
mounted on roofs adjoining the opera
house; nor were they aware that on
that night I stopped a member of the
Intelligence Bureau, who was leading a
mob of soldiers, sailors and marines,
armed with whiskey and hand grenade,
from appearing in front Of the theatre
and causing trouble"
He failed, however to say who owned
tho machine guns or placed them in
position, or 10 specify the Intelligence
bureau to which the leader OF the mob
OF soldiers, sailors and marines was
attached.
