;
Number of Pounds to Make Bushe
As Established by Law.
In view of difficulties which ar
necesarily encountered in attempl
ing to secure a uniform method o
filling and packing standard contain
ers, it is generally recognized' tha
weight is the only really definit
basis of sale, and for that reason th
pound or hundred weight should b
used where this is practical. An ej
ception may be noted in regard t
products which are carefully grade
as to size in which case .the sales ma;
be made satisfactorily by numerics
count.
Below is given the number o
pounds of the principal commoditie
required to make one bushel as esta
blished by law:
Apples, 60 pounds.
Beans, 60 pounds.
Calbbage, 50 pounds.
Cherries, 40 pounds.
Corn in the ear, 70 pounds.
Corn, shelled, 56 pounds.
Coirn meal, 50 pounds.
Grapes, 48 pounds.
Onions, 56 pounds.
Peacehs, 50 pounds.
Peanuts, 23 pounds.
Pears, 60 pounds. ^
Peas, 64 pounds.
Plums, 60 pounds.
Potatoes, Irish, 60 pounds. i
Potatoes Sweet, 50 pounds.
*'
Rice, 44 pounds.
Tomatoes, 56 pounds.
Turnips, 50 pounds.
Wheat, 60 pounds.
Transactions involving the sale o
original containers sometimes can
not be made on a net.weight basi
without adding greatly to the cost o
marketing. Perishable ' commoditie
must be handled with all possible dis
patch, and the time > and labor re
quired to weigh each package woul
more than offset the good whic
might result from a knowledge o
he exact weight. Furthermore, man;
sales are made while the product
are in transit to market, and even i
the weight at time of packing migh
occur as a result of shrinkage due t
drying out or decay. Then, too,
shipping package must be fille
compactly without regard to weigh
or the product may be damaged b
the movement within the containei
In general it may be said that trans
actions involving the sale of packet
fruits or vegetaibles !n the origins
container should be made by th
standard package, but when it i
necessary to break such packages ii
order to dispose of the commodit;
in smaller quantities, sales should b
made by weight or count.

NESDAY NIGHT.
e - 'Atlanta, Sept. 10.?Although no
" arrests had been made Friday morn?
ing for the wreck of an Atlanta, Birmingham
and' Atlantic railroad
,j freight train Wednesday night 'near
Atlanta, in which Engineer J. T. Morf
ris was killed and three negroes bads
ly injured, it was announced by Colonel
B. L. Bugg, receiver of the road
that a number of important clues
were being run down and that arrests
were likely in the next few
hours.
_ Fulton county "police authorities
on Friday were investigating sales of
dynamite and other explosives, and
were making a careful check of the
contents of storehouses where explosives
are kept, to ascertain whether
any such contents had been stolen.
, Explosives are used in quantity for
road construction, granite quarrying
and other construction work. The
I state legislature at the last session
passed a law requiring a written record
of all seals of explosives. This
law may furnish a valuable clue in
connection with the wreck, said
county police officials.

the Atlahta, Birmingham and Atlantic
s railroad for the arrest and convicA

d Colonel Bugg made the following
h comment on the question raised bj
f J. M. Larissey, vice president of the
y Order of Railway Conductors, as tc
s whether the wreck was caused by an
f explosive:
t "The use of an explosive to wrecfc
o.this train has been established beajyond
any doubt. The explosion was
d heard by many people in the vicinitj
it The flash of the explosion was seer
y by several people. A wheel of the
*. engine was; blown off and hurled a
>- considerable distance. Since the
d strike started on March 5, there has
rt | been no serious accidents on the road
e that was not caused by the deliberate
s act of train-wreckers.'
Colonel Bugg expressed his apprey
ciation of the support given the road
e by Governor Hardwick in efforts tc
apprehend the person or persons who
caused the wreck last Wednesday
night.

HAD GATHERED TO WATCH EFFORTS
TO RECOVER BODY OF
I BOY WHO HAD DROWNED.
" MORE THAN SCORE INJURED
SERIOUSLY
> Chester, Pa., Sept. II.?Between
twenty-fie and thirty persons were
drowned or crushed to death and
more than a score of others were in
jured here Saturday when foot path
of the Third street bridge over Chester
river collapsed. The dead and
injured were part of a crowd of approximately
seventy-five persons that
had gathered on the structure to

VYAUVU V11C CUV1VO UI pVilVC All |
pling for the toody of a five-year.old J
boy who had drowned a half hour be-1
foire. Many of the dead are women
1 and children.
The bridge was an old-fashioned
structure ninety feet long and cleared
the water iby aibout twenty feet.
It carried two trolley tracks across
the stream and had one footpath. The
river is about fifteen feet deep where J
the accident orcunred An hour and
, I |
a half after the collapse, more than
1 twenty bodies had been removed to
the morgue., At that time seven seri-j
ously injured persons were in the
1 Chester hospital.
All available police and firemen
1 were summoned for the work of rescue
and searchlights were provided
from nearby plants.
A great crowd gathered at the
' morgue as the bodies were brought
1 in, and a police guard had to be
1 thrown about the place to restrain
frantic persons who rushed to the
building to see if relatives or friends
: were among the dead.
' The child that was drowned had
1 been playing on the ibanks of the
? river and slipped into the water and
i sank. Police were summoned and
quickly threw out grappling irons
> from a row boat. In the meantime
news of the drowning spread, and
i women and men rushed to the bridge
' in fear the child, whose identity was
i not known, was their own. As.the
police grappled in the murky wat?
i around coal and Ice barges, the
crowd grew and suddenly there was
s a crackling sound heard and one end
I of the footpath gave way. Those who
fell into the water first x had no
chance to escape, as others came
tumbling upon them. They sank, and
i the police believe some were forced
> to the bottom of the river and are
> still embedded in the mud.
,Gasolene Down 30 Per Cent.
Do you know that the average price
of gasolene for the entire country is
now down to 20.3 cents per gallon?
Well, it is, according to a recent survey
of wholesale gasolene prices covering
the principal cities. On January
1st, 1921, the average price was 28.9
cents. Here is a dron of about 30
to the good of the national pocketbook,
writes Sugarman's Indicator.
