by UnderseIling Them.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dis patch to The Star.
MARTINSBURG, w. Va, June 40
Local hucksters Of berries and cher
ries were considerably harassed this
week when Harry Jordan, a Mary
lander, with fruit and vegetable
farm between Hagerstown and Fred
erick, appeared with thirty crates OF
nice stock of black raspberries and
blackheart cherries and proceeded TO
undersell the local producers. Jor-
dan offered his cherries two boxes
for. 25 cents and his raspber-ries for
10 cents per box. Local people were
Offering the same fruit on adjoining
stands for 80 cents for cherries and
25 cents for raspberries.
Overtures, direct and indirect, were
made by the local producers to get
Jordan to raise his price to what ap-
peared to be the uniform scale ef-
fective with all other hucksters, but
Jordan would not raise. All the
berry and cherry trade went his way
while the local people stood around
and held their hands. Then inquiry
was made as to whether Jordan had
4 license to market here, and 1T was
disclosed that. while he had no
license. he had conferred with the
city auditor and had been told TO
come here and by test determine
whether he could sell at a profit. The
local dealers found no other way to
boycott him and many of them, as a
consequence, hauled their small fruits
back home.
Jordan was invited to come back
next week with another load, pro-
vided he purchased a marketing
license. He did not indicate finally
whether he would return or not.

county in the proceedings of ]. o. J..
Greene, Westernport. former member
OF the Maryland house of delegates.
to oust Charles F. Peters, former
postmaster of Westernport. from the
position of city clerk of Westernport.
Mr.. Greene alleged that at the
session Of the legislature, 1922, a
new charter was granted Western
port and Peters, who was a member
OF the house, voted for the bill. The
charter, with other, things, empowered
the mayor and council to appoint a
town clerk for two years, and later
Peters was appointed to that office.
which previously had been elective.
1t was held that Peters was not
eligible for any office that was Gre
ated or the salary or profits Of which
had been increased during such
term. In short, it was alleged that
Peters voted to create an office which
he himself has been filing while
still member OF the Legislature. The
lower court granted writ of manda-
mus to GUST Peters, and TO this Peters
demurred. The order of the court
was stayed by the order for an ap-
peal TO the higher court. which held
that the circuit court erred and dis
missed the writ of mandamus.

inc adequate credit for the farmer IS not 90
much a matter OF creating new financial MA

with him.
This means specifically the utilization OF
the Federal Reserve System by rural banks
and Httle more effort on the part OF the
central Ranking authorities forgive the rural
members the support they need
There are nearly 10000 banks eligible Tor
membership in the Federal Reserve System
which have not joined. Those banks, and
their clientele, seem hardly justified IN crit
cising the failure OF the national banking syS-
tenn to meet their needs as long as they re
