this sort of competition from those who pay no taxes in the community and who do not servo it in any other way however it is not easy to stop a stranger in tho fruit selling game it would appear ac cording to law that if he em phatically states that the fruit was all grown on his own premises by himself he has the right to peddle it without a liconse thus as the law stands the breaks all appear to be against tho home merchant nevertheless those who practise buying from pedlars generally live to rue the day the potato competition is growing in interest since mr k g tart- brought in five
