Baptist Church Notes.
For the past six months Bap-
tists of the South have been
making history as never before
since the day of Pentecost, and
we reached the climax here Sun-
day at the eleven o'clock hour
when we went gloriously over
the top with our $.'>,000 quota.
| Pastor, together with his people,
are greatly rejoicing over the
great victory, which means a
new day for this church. Every-
one responded nobly and many
gave saerittcially. We thank the
Lord for the privilege of labor-
ing with such faithful and heroic
people as we find in the Baptists
of Saint Jo.
Regular services Sunday. Ev-
erybody invited.
Respectfully,
.1 am ks H. Hunt, Pastor.
Man wants but little here below,
And isin’t long on deck;
Just when he thinks he stands a
show
lie get’s it in the neck.
A |.»t of young chaps turn up
their putts and wade into tango
wito never turn up their sleeves
and wade into work.

Rule No. 1.—All scales or
weighing devices used by Public
Weighers must be of standard
ty|)e, must be in good condition
and kept so at all times. Cheap
or inferior scales or weighing
devices cannot be kept in good
condition for any length of time.
Rule No. 2. —Unequal arm bal-
ances or so called cotton scales
must not be used after pivots be-
come ‘ dull” or worn so they will
not readily break on one pound.
Rule No. 3. —Grease or oil
must never be used on the pivots
of equal arm balances or plat-
form scales. It serves no pur-
pose except to permit the accu-
mulation of sand and dirt on the
pivots and bearings, which will
result in incorrect weighing and
hastens the wear of the pivots.
Rule No. 4.— All scales or
weighing devices must be kept
under shelter so as not to be ex-
posed to tho weather. No weigh-
ing device can be kept in good
condition when constantly ex-
posed to rain, or intense heat of
the sun. All platform scales
must be kept free of dirt and
trash at all times. The pit un-
derneath the platform or scales
must be cleaned out at regular
intervals and kept clean.
Rule No. —All public weigh
ers must use the receipt pre-
scribed by the Commissioner of
Markets and Warehouses under
Section 8 of the Public Weigher’s
Law and must affix on each certif-
icate issued by him the seal pre-
scribed in Section 9 of the law.
Rule No. 6. — Eacli certificate
of weight issued by a public
weigher must state the number
of the receipt which should be a
consecutive number, give the
date, name of the party for whom
weighed, the number, kind, or
quantity of produce weighed, the
gross, tare and net weight of
same, the vessel, railroad, car,
wagon, or other means by which
same was received. No other
certificate except the one pre-
scribed by this department can
be used.
After the public weigher has
stated in the weight certificate
the correct and accurate weight
of the commodity that is weigh-
ed, as shown by the scales, he is
further directed to state, under
proper heading, the condition of
same, whether the cotton or oth-
commodity received for weight
at the time it was weighed, was
green, wet, normally dry or dam-
aged, and shall state under the
proper heading his opinion of the
amount in pounds such commod-
ity should be docked by reason
of excess moisture, at the time
of weighing.
Public weighers, cotton buy-
ers and exporters, at a meeting
held in Austin. Tex., on Septem-
ber 4, 1919, decided that it should
be the duty of the public weigh-
er to suggest the amount of ex-
cess moisture contained in any
bale of cotton weighed by him.
This department approved this
recommendation, and instructs
you in accordance with same, as
outlined above.
Rule No. 7. —Where public
weighers maintain a cotton yard
and charge storage for cotton
left with thorn they should issue
a yard receipt in addition to the
proscribed weigher’s certificate.
The State Certificate of weight
should follow the article weigh-
ed, and should not be sui render-
ed when article is removed from
the place of weighing.
Rule No. 8. — All weighing
must be done ou a level beam
and not on a “rising” or ‘'fall-
ing” beam. Your scale is a bal-
ance and unless it balances per-
fectly the result will be incor-
rect
Rule No. 9. —When any bale of
cotton is weighed by any public
least forty eight hours after l>c-
ing weighed.
Rule No. 10. —No public weigh-
er must permit any one to molest
or mutilate any bale of cotton
while teuqtorarily in his posses-
sion. This is one of the condi-
tions of the Rublic Weigher’s
bond. .
These rules shall become ef-
fective at once.

Happy on Their Way. -
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Evans
with fourteen of their children
passed through Saint Jo last
Saturday en route from Lamar,
Colo., to Umatilla, Fla. Two of
their children remained in Colo-
rado. This interesting and hap-
py family was traveling in a Max-
well truck, uniquely equipped
according to Mr. Evans’ own
ideas, which afforded comforta-
ble housing and transportation
for the entire family and their
baggage, and had made the trip
so far without any mishap under
its own engine power.
The family will stop at Bok-
chita, Okla., for a few weeks to
visit Mr. Evans’ brother-in-law,
John Impson, postmaster, and
other relatives.
During the trip the family has
stopped at different places and
picked cotton, the largest amount
earned in any one day being
$52.32.
Mr. Evans was born in Arkan-
sas, Mrs. Evans’ native state be-
ing Missouri. The oldest son,
twenty-three years of age, spent
nine months in France with the
A. E. F., with 142nd regiment,
field artillery, of Bentonville,
Ark. Mr. Evans is forty-seven
years of age, his wife forty-one.
Only one set of twins, a boy and
a girl.
The Tribune wishes the entire
family health, happiness and a
safe and pleasant trip to its des-
tination.
