Dear Sir: A man fed his hens hall meal
and half sawdust; he thought they
wouldn't know the difference. He con-
cluded they did when the eggs Matched

Another man painted his house with a
paint that was made of half paint-sub-
stitutes. He didn't know the difference
not till he paid the painter.
He had 20 gallons to pay for, 20 in
stead OF 10. Got fooled $3.50 on the
paint.
He had 20 days wages to pay for, 20
instead of 10. Fooled $50 in wages.
He got a poor job besides. He paid
too much for his eggs. and they Matched
