| The public is at last assured of relief
from bad butter through the passage
Of Representative O'COnnOrs bill for
bidding the sale of made over butter
for the real article" The housewife
who makes her purchase at the grocery
for the family table will not be re.
quired any more TO ask the time.worn
question: rs this good butter"
Anything that Is not pure will he east
ly discernible by the large label that
will be placed on the package contain.
Ing Il.
BY the terms OF Mr.. O'ConnOr's bill
any butter that has been worked over
must he labeled as such under severe
penalty. The sale Of any but new ana
pure butter by any dealer will be pun
ishable by II line of from $50 to 500.
All the dairy interests of Northern iii.
nois are interested In the bill. which
they believe will work much good In
the butter trade. The Senate some
time ago passed similar bill. All
that remains to make It q law Is the
signature of Governor Yates.
Who Is using the county building toll
telephone connections? That Is the
question that came M In the meeting
OF the public service committee when
II was found that the telephone tolls
for the last five months amounted TO
500. The bill was rejected on the mo-
tion of Commissioner Organ. and
Superintendent of Public Service Healy
will he asked to investigate the mat
ter. Ii has been noticed for some time
that while the volume of business
transacted over the toll lines has not
increased, the bills have swelled con-
siderbly. Some of the members Of
the board allege that county commits
sioners use the lines for the trans
action of private business, but this is
denied by the members.
\ new bond OF sympathy between
the public school children of the United
States and their newly acquired broth
ers and sisters of Hawaii was created
by ceremony which recently took
place in that far-of group of islands.
The occasion was the raising of the
Stars and Stripes over the Kaupakalua
School. The pole from which IT flies
is no slim staff of pine or spruce, but
towering palm-tree; yet the Tag Is
the same which tiutters over the thou
sands Of little school houses in this
country, and 1t was raised to the sound
OF the same "America" and "Star-Span-
gled Banner" and with the same eXer-
cises. Let us hope that 1t will repre-
sent the same loyalty and devotion
there as here.
There Is no lack of variety in the ef-
forts to kill the Gear. However, II is
believed that the varied character OF
the anarchist program does not relieve
1t Of Its disagreeable features in the
eyes Of Nicholas.
