Cheerfully violating a St. Paul ordinance against taking pigs into public buildings, Iowa's Governor Clyde LaVerne Herring marched into the office of Minnesota's Governor Floyd Bjornstjerne Olson to deliver a 265-lb. prize Hampshire piglet named Floyd of Rosedale which he had lost to Governor Olson in a bet on the Iowa-Minnesota football game (TIME, Nov. 18).

The interstices are filled by views of various orchestras, Rogers tooting on various instruments, and amateurish hip-wiggling by June Clyde.
