TURMOIL STARTS OVER
THE GRAIN SCALES BILL

A lively session of the house grain
and warehouse committee suddenly
was terminated after George LOTUS,
manager Of the Equity Exchange. yig-
orously resented statements by J. H.
Ntzhugh,, secretary of the Minneapolis
Chamber Of Commerce, to the effect
that the committee was being used as
a "catspaw" in al dvertising scheme
superintendent by the Equity Exchange.
A four-hour discussion of the bill by
Representative Magnus Johnson, com.
pelling the installation Of track scales
at terminal points and abandonment
Of hopper scales, came to a climax
after Mr.. Ntzhugh, had spoken but a
moment.
Through the medium Of this com.
mittee Lotus is attempting TO strike
knife into the Chamber of Com
merce," McHugh said.
Lotus leaped to his feet.
Mr.. Chairman" he exclaimed, 81
insist that the gentleman discontinue
his statements rejecting upon me. And
II he does not abide by my wishes |
shall take care of him after this meet
ing"
Amid an avalanche of motions, one
TO adjourn. another to go into execut-
i've session and still another to take
immediate action on the bill, Repre-.
sentative j. NJ. Harrison of Mime.
apoiis moved that the bill be laid over
until the next meeting. After several
roll calls on other motions, this sug.
gestion prevailed.
The meeting, for the most part, was
devoted to charges and counter
charges of unfairness.
Advocates of the measure insisted
that farmers Of the Northwest are
losing thousands Of dollars yearly be-
cause Of inaccurate weighing on the
hopper scales.
"Fifty-seyen elevators and mills In
Minneapolis today are weighing grain
in hopper scales to the Disadvantage
of the farmer" Mr.. LOTUS declared.
Sharp division among the committee
members was apparent, but those in
favor of the bill are believed to be in
a majority.

Well Recommended.

A young country Scotchman and hfs
sweetheart went to Glasgow for
days outing. After spending the
morning looking round the big shops
and the center of the city. the young
man suggested that as it was near
one o'clock they should look out for a
suitable clearinghouse to get something
to eat.
Having spotted a likely place. they
entered and took their seats at
small table, and when the waitress
came for their order tie young man
asked for a sixpenny meat-pie This
was brought in due course. and he
started eating it with evident relish.
The girl waited little time wonder
ing very much where she came in.
At last, in sheer desperation. she
said to her companion:
rs the pie good, Jock?"
"Good?" replied Jock. 81 should
