shelves Of Indianapolis groceries, inspec-
tors Of the city weights and measures de-
partment report to Chief Inspector Ed
ward McGuff. They give this AZ the rea-
son why the number of articles re
weighed by them during their routine in
spectiOns of scales and packages in food
hendling establishments during the
month OF August was only 1852 as com
pared with 2,7T9 during August 1920
Mr.. McGuff said he believes the gro
GERS for several months have been buy
Ing in smaller quantities and, therefore,
they do not have the surplus stocks to
put into ready packages in advance of
calls from customers.
The inspectors will complete the an
nual inspection Of every business house
using weights and measures of any kind
in the city by about Oct 10, Mr.. McGuff
said. Purchase of an automobile for the
department this year has helped speed
up tie work.
Citizens generally have made broader
use of the department this year than
heretofore, said the chief inspector Many
persons starting in business now call the
department and ask that an inspector
be sent to inspect their scales and meas
ures before they are used, instead of
waiting until the inspector comes around
on his regular call Frequently the in
spectors find that scales are adjusted 50
as to make mistakes in favor Of the
customer, so that many merchants feel
they are protecting themselves by having
the city inspection as early and often
as possible.
Manufacturers have started using the
department recently. One firm had a
controversy with a st. Louis metal job
Der over the weight of two car loads
Of spelter. The local company claimed
the two cars were 81 pounds short, rep
resenting a difference of about $36 in
price. The weights and measures de-
partment was called to test the contents
Of the cars and found the local firm to
be correct. This decision was accepted
by the st. Louis people and the Indian
apolis concern was given the requested
discount.

CARRIERS VIE
FOR PATRONAGE
TO STATE FAIR
: Reduce Rates and Prepare
to Handle Large
Crowds.

That the steam and interurban
roads Of Indiana are getting back to
normally" and that the passenger
agents have revived their pre-war energy
is made evident in the sharp rivalry that
is developing for passengers to the In
diana State Fair next week. For the
first time in about six years both the
railroads and trolley lines have made
concessions in passenger rates to the
fair and while the reduction on the
lines is practically the same-One and
one-half fare for the round trip-the
steam line passenger agents have their
scouts at work IN interurban territory,
while the trolley passenger men are
hustling to hold not only their usual fair
patronage but to grab all from the steam
roads they can.
The Monon and Lake Erie & Western
passenger agents have some advantage
over steam roads. since their lines pass
the gates Of the State fairgrounds. Both
Of these roads will operate special trains
during fair week.
The fair nagement is expecting many
thousand visitors to come to the eX-
position in their automobiles ana
arrangements have been made for them
by expanding motor car facilities on the
ground. All Of the drives have been
sacrificed, rolled and oiled. Roadways
from the south and east gates to park
ing-fields have been graveled and rolled.
About fifty acres of parking space on the
west and east side of the ground, as
well as north Of the race track, will be
open to motorists and about 10000 cars
day can be provided for.
Several carloads Of ground tanbark
have been spread in the aisleS of the
livestock barns, some new footpaths OF
cinders have been made, and with the
large permanent buildings now available
the fair will be in position to provide for
visitors whether the weather be fair or
foul.

CLEANUP SQUAD
MAKES RECORD
Takes Six Days to End Case
Pending for Two
Years.

Adjustment of a claim for compensation
in six days that had been pending for
more than two years, is the enviable
record made By the cleanup squad of
the United States veterans bureau in
the case of Henry Is. Knue, 112 Gar
field avenue, who during the world war
was a saddler in Company c, 22d En-
gineers.
Knue was discharged from service July
IL, 1919, and shortly after that applied
for compensation for disability incurred
during the war. The case dragged along
Unfortunately and he was unable TO get
anywhere with it. Aug % he called at
the offices Of the cleanup squad in the
Meridian Life Building and his case was
taken up Immediately. Aug. % he re
ceived q letter from the bureau at Wash
ington stating that he had been granted
compensation of 800 a month and would
receive a check covering back payments
from November, 1919.

STATEMENT CORRECTED.

W. H. Wright. Veterinary Inspec-
tor, wishes to be set right in the
matter of visiting the premises OF
Saml. ]. Terry, near town, who re-
Gently lost four fine hogs from some
disease resembling spinal meningi-
it's. The Midland Journal last week
stated the Inspector had been noti-
fed but paid no attention to the
matter. This statement was incor-
rect. The following. relative to the
matter, has been received from. Mr..
Wright:
Information in regard to Mr..
Terry's trouble was left at the office
of the county agent on Thursday,
August IS. However. the writer's
territory embraces six counties and
he was at work elsewhere during all
the latter part of the week. This
case was investigated at the first
available opportunity on Monday
morning, August %. when visited
this farm in company with County
Agent, w. c. Snarr, and again on
Wednesday, August "a, at which
time a report of the investigation
was forwarded to DR.. I. X. Atherton,
Inspector in Charge. College Park,
Maryland.
"Your statements I'm this matter
are entirely erroneous and were ap-
parently made without due knowl-
edge of the facts in the case. They
not only reflect on the personal in
tegrity of the writer but cast seri-
GUS reflection also upon the work
which the department is carrying on
in the State of Maryland. ] shall
therefore be interested in seeing
that you give your readers the true
facts of the case and correct the
false impression which your article
has created.
Very truly yours,

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
OF CECIL COUNTY.

During my canvass for nOmina-
ton for short term County Com
missioner the question is asked me
If I am the party who conducts an
Auction Bazaar at Cecilton, Md,
and to make myself better acquaint-
ed with those who I will not have
the pleasure of seeing personally, I
want to say that for past IL years
/ have been in the live stock bust
ness, buying and selling horses. and
cattle, etc., and making auction
sales twice a month. For 20 years
previous to engaging in the live
stock business I was engaged in the
Hardware, Implement and Mercan-
tile business with my father under
the firm name of P. Anderson & Son.
The firm had large business and ]
wish to say that my father gave me
full management of same. At his
death, about IL years ago, not hav-
ing sufficient capital to further con-
tinue the hardware business after
HIS CSldIc was uAFluOu dAOh6 IhS
four heirs, I decided on the live
stock business, of which I think !
have made success The live
stock business since the depression,
or I might say the tightness Of
money has been felt, is very poor
and looks like it will be so for some
time to come. On this account 7
have decided to become a candidate
for short term County Commissioner
and feel capable of filling the Of
fee. If I did not would not ask
your support. feel I can give the
Office plenty of my time. For past
~ years I have been constantly on
the road in Cecil county and have
seen the bad ones as well as the
good ones. If 1 should be success
full will render the tax payers the
best service within my power.
I want to call particular attention
to my record in the Maryland Legis-
lature in the session of 1918, OF
which body / was a member. t1f
you will take the trouble to look up
the Journal you will find l voted
right on every moral question that
came before the House. I hope to
be nominated at the primaries, Sept.
9th, and to be successful again in
November, but should be defeated
at the primaries / shall be a true
sport and shake hands with the sue
cessful candidate and work hard
for his election, which l hope for
them to do in case should receive
the nomination.
Thanking you lin advance for
your hearty support, l am,
Very respectfully,

JOSH TALKS 10 THE vorERs.
Somewhere-in-Cecil County,
Aug. 80, 1921.
tor Of the Midland Journal,


Aug. 80. 1921.
Editor Of the Midland Journal,
Sir:
This is the last chance I will hev
to talk to the voters befor the eleck-
shun. Bill and me hez bin goin
around lot, talkin to the peepul,
and I'll hev to confess Bill hez con-
verified me to his way of thinkin.
Bill and me hez both decided that
if these perpetual offus holders he'd
one spark of manhood, they would
git out before they are kicked out.
If they were men they would say,
Nov, gentlemen, we have had our
share. We are out of it for good,
and we are ready to help someone
who has never had anything" They
do not seem to be saying this so l
want to ask the voters of this county
to think well before they make their
mark on the ticket at the Primary.
Let us get good, straight men on the
tickets.
I expect to support the Democrat
ticket and for that reason / want
to see it as strong as possible. To
make it strong it will be necessary
to nominate new and clean men, and
to distribute the Offices over the
county.
Do not nominate all from the
Third District.
The Third District now has the
States Attorney, who has two years
more to serve; the Clerk of the
Court, who has four years more;
the Register of Wills and the AS
sistant Treasurer, who it is hoped
will be changed this fall, and the
Deputy Clerk of the Court.
If the Third District does not get
a man this time they will still have
their share If we want to nominate
a winning ticket, it is time some
other District was getting some
recognition. We have got to have
some new blood.
This is my last letter as I will
not fight the Democrat ticket after
it is made up. In closing, I again
ask you, voter, to consider we'll be-
fore you make your mark.
Respectfully, JOSH.
