Mr. today made the following- sta'.e- "ment: "The flour weighed by Mr. Glea- HOM and mvself was packed at the flour mills m i pound. 12 pound four WOiAffSOUB J. Efc tf State" J. Bailer Ellis, a Boston sculptor, was the speaker at the meeting of the Woman's club In Wallace hall Wed- nesday afternoon, in connection with his talk on "The making of a Mr. Ellis gave demonstrations In which he shewed the first steps of sculpture as taught to the pupils which attend his school in Boston. The meeting was called to order ounce and 24fc pound sacks or paper at Vo'oiockbv Mrs F F bearing the required net weight marking I can give you a. re- port on what I personally weighed, as Mr. Gleaaon'B records are for the state dt-purtment of weights and measures. I find from my re-weighings that the. flour doen 'not come up to the net weight markings as found on the bags. I presume Ihe conditions of the place here flour is kept, atoo the lengtA of time in stock, makes some difference, mLp- were president of the club, and the mLp- utes of the previous meeting read and accepted. Mrs. Woodward then called attention to the meeting next Wednesday afternoon at which Mrs Laura Richards will read some or her own children's stories. The president urged that every lady attend and bring a child. Reference was then made to the afternoon classes of non-English speaking women which L nuii-rjiiKUHn wpviiMMfc wuinuii hut allowing for all that, feome of the ,t cted bo b> the were far too low to got On ,.chool at u> Frldfty ICYRDflBROY Be Pt.Hl Clerk id fenbv of Voter a great many of the sacks m.irked 244 pounds. 1 found shortages from one to 16 ounces, so you see it can't be all charged to evaporation. "I find a ready cooperation from (he store keepers and local wholesalers to do everything in their power to bring the flour sacks and other net weight packages' up to the standard weight aa marked on the package, and many of the short weight bags are to- day being refilled locally. You under- stand, of course, that these are orig- inal package gooda and not put up eith- er at the local wholesale house or re- tall stores. "Flour today is pretty high, and it is purchased generally by the housekeep- ers In email lots, such as I weighed, therefore It is up to every storekeeper in this cltji to rewelgh the sacks of flour In his store and protect himself. "Commissioner Hanson at the recent conference on the short weight bread night. She urged thiit the club, do Iti share in furthering the movement and said that In the event of Us adop- tion the Science department of the club had been Invited to have charge of the reception at the first meeting. Mrs. Woodward then announced that she had a supply of Red Cross blanks which she would be pleased to have the members fill out providing they cared to join In the work. She then called attention to the Round Table meeting which is to be held iij the club room Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. A nominating committee was then appointed to submit names for the ensuing year's officers and the follow- ing were appointed on that commit- Mrs. Walter F. Stiles, Mrs. M. B. Damon and Mrs. Warner M. Allen. The subject of whether the local club would unite with the Federation loca to for a guarantee from thejtoker undefr the net weight law, so I can't see why the same rule won't apply on the -flour question. However, the cost of exist- ing today Is so high that the public Is entitled to it pays for, and 1 have, instructed, the wholesale honses in this city that the flour packages must be up to weight. There no allowance today established for shrinkage on flour, although personally I favor one not more than two ounces In 24% poundM. Therefore, after a reasonable time, provided the shortages In flour sacks are as high as I found yesterday I will prosecute. "A few yearn ago I had a similar trouble on print butter, after request- In? that several shipments returned to the shippers for the reason that in- stead of 16 ounce prints the butter weighed On an average 15 ounces. I got cooperation fWun the manufacturer and butter in prints came through 16 ounces with a Irttl'e extractor evaporation. "Food stuffs in package form must be marked on the container, conspic- uously, the net weight of'the contents: therefore if any ace found I would ask that my office informed immediately.- showed that the sentiment of the club waa opposed. It was then voted that a fair be conducted In this city and the club's share be turned over to the Federation and the balance placed In the local treasury. Mrs. Woodward then read a peti- tion, which had been drawn up ask- ing local representatives In the legis- lature to support the bill now before the house providing for a standard loaf of bread. It was voted unan- imously to send the petition to the, representatives. Mrs Woodward then Introduced Mr. Ellis who spoke at considerable length on the of sculpture and demonstrating the processes in the making of a. statue. He produced a wire frame on which he modeled In miniature the form of a man in his declining years. Mr. Ellis pointed out the various perplexities which con- front a- sculptor during his process of making a ttgure. If J Cyrerius Roy does not cure to become clerk of the postal eub-sia- tlon at South Fltchburg on account of his fear that he would be obliged to the office of registrar of voi- ers, It will be easy enough to obtain someone else 1r> that vicinity who will act as agent, John R. Bruith said this morning Mr. Roy uas appointed clerk in charge of the South .Fltchburg sub-station a few days SRO to succeed William Z Tou- signant and the poslofflce apparatus waa to be moved In a few to Mr. Roy's drug store. It is claimed b> some who have looked up the "lnw' that Mr Roy cannot hold the office'of clerk, which Is a government office, and still be a registrar of voters. He was appoint- ed a registrar one jear ago, and the appointment holds for two more Postmaster Smith said tins morning: that although he was obliged to give up his jobs as a member of the school board and the board of overseers of the poor when he became postmaster, yet he believes that It will not be necessary for Mr Roy to give up public office when the position ot clerk Is secondary to his regular oc- cupation. The office of registrar pays yearly and the office of clerk No new sites have been found in the vicinity of Depot square for the sub- station at that place Several ol the stores have expressed their desire to have the station, but they do not want to take It on at per jear. It Is hinted that were the right place to found. Postmaster Smith might recommend to the Washington gov- ernment that the salary be Increased to yearly. Installed by Clark S. Simonds Camp, 3. of V.
