SAY CONTAINERS
ARE SHORT WEIGHT
EVIDENCE INTRODUCED BY DE-
TENSE TO SHOW THAT LARD is
POURED INTO THE CANS WHILE
HOT AND THAT IT sHRINKs
AFTER IT cooLs.

Today in the district court the state
is trying to prove that the three pound
containers of lard actually contain but
two pounds and six ounces, and that
the five-pound containers hold but
four pounds and four ounces Of lard.
The states argument is precise and TO
the point. It claims that IL the con-
purchases FIVE pounds Of lard
he is entitled to full measure.
The evidence introduced by the de-
PENDANT is to the effect that when the
lard is in liquid form IT is poured
into the containers and after the lard
gets cold it settles and shrinks in
the ans.
Robert Hall, one Of the Oldest en-
ployes of the Armour concern was
one Of the experts that testified for
the defendant, and stated on the stand
that he has been connected with that
firm since he was 13 years old. He
was first employed as a messenger
boy and gradually worked himself up
to his present position as general sup
erintendent of the Chicago plant.

There is a growing suspicion in the

careful in providing the means TO ear.
