Gimme Summore the Greedy Pig Becomes Hambiscus Bacon
A children’s tale recounts Gimme Summore the pig who begs for more food until Uncle Wiggily cures his greed by luring him with fake candy icicles that melt into molasses. The story ends with Gimme learning restraint and regaining his name Hambiscus. Notices follow about appointed administrators in Linn County Iowa, 1935.
