are always hustling around for news

recently read a letter written to a

a former ronldunt of the city In
which complaint la made that the
papera are not giving the town and
county credit for what it really is ,

There exist wide differences ot
opinion regarding the advisability
of enactments compelling food pack
ages to bo branded with their exact
weights and measures. The present
national law contents Itself with the
provision that , where weights or
measures are stated , they must bo
accurate. Undertakings to secure
state laws requiring weights and
measures to bo staled have boon
vigorously opposed , the strongest rea
son assigned being the fact that
no such requirement Is contained in
the federal law and the lack of uni
formity almost , Inevitable if every
atate fixed its requirements inde-
pendantly would work serious con
fusion to manufacturers engaged in
commerce interstate. It is argued
also that certain manufactured food
stuffs are subject to variations of
weight , due to climatic or other con
ditions , which render it impossible
to state the wolghto and measures
accurately. Yesterday's convention
by declaring for absolute uniformity
and stipulating that due allowance
bo made for unavoidable variations ,
Booms to meet these objections. The
question whether the requirement la
necessary In the public Interest re
mains and may bo considered when
the model law Is drafted and aub-
mlttcd to Congress for wo take

Rcntlal , the national legislature must
