rThere are about 40 committee reports

juggle with the scales.
An honest hog-buyer started up in
business and guaranteed the farmers a
fair deal. He always weighed the
porkers twice to guard against mis-
takes. Once in weighing a bunch OF
Digs the second time, he found their
weight had increased to the amount

He was at loss to account for the
condition until an enploye confessed
that at the first weighing he had in

was indignant.
