any particular difference in the records,
criminal action will at once be taken

tractor. It is not thought that the pre-
vious differences, II any. can amount 10
a large sum, for the present buyer had
been receiving the waste only since the
1st Of July, and only a few carloads had
been shipped out before the discrepancy
in weight was discovered.
Stin. as the waste for the present year
was sold at auction 20 the highest bid

posed 10 keep a strict watch over the
