WeiRhty Problem.

A dairyman in an isolated town
sent away for a scale upon which
he could measure the weight of all
the dairy products which he sold, so
that he'd be sure to give both his
customers and himself q fair deal.
The scale came after long period of
waiting, and the dairyman was high
ly pleased. Unfortunately, however,
just as he and the customers be-
came accustomed to the scale the
dial, which showed the pounds and
ounces up to 20 pounds, which was
the most he ever needed to weigh,
broke, and he was left with only the
balancing equipment. This was very
discouraging, but while thinking
about the problem he hit upon an
idea. He had certain packages of
dairy products with weights marked
upon them. What four weights did
he find which would serve to weigh
anything from one-half pound to
20 pounds in half pounds and
