DEALERS MUST
MARK WEIGHT ON
PACKAGES OF FOOD
Bureau of Chemistry So
Rules, Having Found Short
ace in Products Sold.

Dealers in this city who wrap pack
ages of sugar, rice, coffee. candy and
other food products prior to sales
must mark them to show the net
weight of the food in each package,
according to ruling of the bureau
of chemistry. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
1t has been found by officials of
the bureau of chemistry, who are Co
operating with the District officials
in a campaign to stop short weight
in food in the District, that In some
instances contents of packages nave
been found to be short from one
once to half pound.

1t is pointed out by the officials of
the bureau of chemistry that If the
food is weighed and wrapped by the
retailer at the time it is sold the
purchaser has the opportunity to
watch the weighing and know exact

the purchaser has no means OF Know

much food is actually in the package,
the bureau says. Nor Is there ANY
means of proving, in the absence of
declaration on the package. how

Marking Required by Law.

1t is required by the federal food
and drugs act that the quantity of
all food coming within it's jurisdic-
tion which is in package form must
be plainly and conspicuously marked
in terms of weight, measure or nu-
merical count, the bureau says. 1t is
held that food which is wrapped pre-
vious to the time of sale is food ir

the act. and each package must.
therefore, bear q statement of the
weight. measure or numerical count.
The statement of the weight or meas
ure may be put on the package in any
way most convenient for the dealer.
provided it is plain and conspicuous.
The act provides penalties for selling
packages in its Jurisdiction containing
less food than is stated on the package
This ruling of the bureau of chem
istry applies only to the District of
Columbia. since the District is the only
place in the United States where the
federal food and drugs act has juris-
diction over retail sales to local con-

At 1890 a. III. Thanksgiving day.
November 27. the Beehive" was
raided and one of the queens car
ried away when j. N Baker and
Miss Gladys Beavers were united
in marriage. Accompanying there
were r. n. McMillin and Miss Josie
Yeates who also assumed the mat
rimOnial vows.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Leonard E. Elver at the par
sOnage. The couple had hoped to
slip quietly away on No. 5 and
spend the Thanksgiving holiday in
Colorado Springs. but the industri-
Ous remaining members of the
hive became suspicious and in
stead OF going home from choir
practice patiently ~ waited the
fateful hour of midnight.
After the bridal party left the
parsonage they were assaulted by
a mob hurling rice and took refuge
in the hotel office. Appripriate
decorations and messages were
found on the baggage of the party
presumably also put there by their
friends as tokens of their good

CENSUS ENUMERAfoRS
JOB GOES BEGGING
Uncle Sam Is Having Difficulty in
Securing Men and Women
to Count Us.

For almost the first time in the
history of the country federal gov
ernment jobs are a drug on the
market-the jobs are begging for
takers. At least that is the situa-
tion in the preliminary OrganiZa-
tiOn for taking the next census.
This condition prevails not only
in Colorado but all parts of the
country and Uncle Sam is having q
hard time to get enough men and
women to count the rest of us Two
examinations have been held here
in Holly for census enumeratOrs
and but three persons have become
sufficiently interested to take the
examination. One of these, Chas.
NJ. Witty, has been notified by the
department that he had passed the
examination.
Postmaster Adkins has just been
advised by the department head
at Pueblo for this district that pay
for census enumeratOrs in PrOWers
county will be Sc per day for
their time instead of $3.50 as first
announced.
The fact that the job lasts only
month or two probably has some
thing to do with the shyness mani
tested by many who might, before
the war, have been glad of a federal
job of any sort. Parties interested
are asked to address VIM. B. Hugh

RISING PAPER MARKET
BANS MERCHANTS EDITION
Visible Supply of Print Paper and
Excessive Advance Make Its
Production Unprofitable.


Recent material. advances in tht
price of news print paper has
reached a point serious to the cOun
try publisher as well as the metro
pOlitan papers of the country
Moreover. due to labor troubles, in
creased costs and materially increas
ed consumption of this commodity
the paper market has reached a
point during the past 30 days,
where the situation for even the
small country weekly has become
hazardous.
In other words, the paper on
which country weekly newspapers is
printed and was sold to publishers
four years ago for from two and
three-quarters to three cents a
pound, is now quoted in the
wholesale market at ten and a
quarter cents. Publishers are told
at the same time that the mills are
not making as much print paper as
is now being consumed and that
may be eventually shut off.
I With this condition daily inten-
sifying the publication of the mon
thly Merchants Edition of The
Chifetain has become not only I'M
profitable but the extra consump-
ton of paper involved hazardous
and imprudent. While The Chief
tain has on supply sufficient for
30 days or more, it is very uncer-
tain at this date just how much
the publisher may be able to pur-
chase when this is gone.
Publishers in other sections are
advancing advertising and sub
scriptiOn rates to meet the adj
vance. The publisher of The Chief
tain, however, does not feel that
the subscription can now be wisely
advanced, and for the present
at least has made this decision. But
the indications are that if the pres
ent conditions of the paper market
continue two alternatives will. be
left, to either advance advertising
and job printing rates or suspend
publication. The publisher dis
likes to do either but under the
circumstances the adoption of one
or the other will be a matter OF
necessity,
Notwithstanding these untoward
conditions The Chieftain hopes to
issue a Christmas edition week
or ten days before Christmas which
will cover the same mailing list as
has been used for the Merchants
Edition heretofore. The rate for
display advertising in this edition
Will be 25 cents per inch instead of
20 cents. Each merchant may
shrink his space sufficiently that
he will not need to spend any more
money than he has on the Merch-
ants Edition.

The coal situation in Holly is still

arrangement, however, was some
