Show Of course we Wuuioii i think oi I insinuating that you are a murderer, j because we know you would not wan- : tonly take the life of a fellow being, j Rut how about your efforts toward killing Mount Pleasant your own home by patronizing firms at a distance dis-tance when you can buy the same goods just as cheaply from some of our local merchants? Of course, you are not a "murderer," but. how about being a "killer?" It will be strange indeed if the soldiers sol-diers of our time discard their khaki for the armor of the crusaders. Some of the French soldiers now wear steel helmets that are much like the headpieces that Cromwell's Ironsides wore. Breastplate?. ?nd shields may be revived also, for they easily deflect the swift bullets nf modern rifles The weight of armor is no more the handicap that it once was, for soldiers sol-diers march far loss than formerly. For a number of years we have shipped about 20,000 horses and 5,-000 5,-000 mules abroad annually. During i the first 10 months of the war we sent 215,759 horses and 39,229 mules across the sea. The Department of Agriculture believes that after the war is over millions of work animals will be needed in Europe, and that the United States must supply most of them. The business of breeding horses and mules promises to be iin-msually iin-msually profitable for several years to come. u James Clawson, a member of the State Dairy & Food Bureau gives warning to the fruit and vegetable dealers of the violations of the new "Weights and Measures Law," which are common in this county. The law-mentioned law-mentioned makes it a crime to sell food products by the "bushe','" "crate," or "box" or in any other manner than by weight excepting those commodities sold by the count or liquid measure. This includes fruits and vegetables which are now being sold here by the box, crate and bushel. bush-el. The State Weights &. Measures Officials have started making arrests for these violations and Mr. Clawson is informed that they contemplate visiting this county in the near future. |
