BUTTER ORDER

We have several hundred custo-
mers who have a standing order
with US for butter. In other words.
each one Of them says to US in eff
feet: Deliver at my house every
week until I tell you to stop, so
many pounds Of your Star Brand
Butter" The advantages of this
standing order system are obvious.
You never come home to find you
have forgotten the butter and that
there is not enough in the house
for dinner. After you once give
your order you trouble your head
no more about it. Just so often is
delivered promptly at your house a
specified quantity of the most deli
cious and purest butter, fresh from
the churn but an hour or two be-
fore. Your table is always graced
by butter Of exactly even quality;
no having good butter one day and
a poor kind the next. Star Brand is
made right here, in the finest equip
ped churning room in the West, and
is the only kind you can buy with a
guarantee that it was "churned this
morning" Present price is csc.

Training For Royalty.

We are face to face with difficult
problem AS the years have gone by
Americans have drifted further and
further away from knowledge and
practice of court manners. WASH
ington himself was versed in the art
of courtly etiquette. So was Jeffer-
son and Adams. Ben Franklin was
noted for his brusque ways, neverthe-
less he was able to master questions
of precedence while abroad without
making any serious blunders. Since
those days, however, America has
drifted along in it's own way, its peo-
pie assimilating the ideas of independ-
ence to such an extent that we are
no longer familiar with the customs
which were practised in the Southern
colonies in the personal---very.
days The Southerner has inherited
much of the old stately manner and
"savoir faire," even to the extent of
settling affairs of honor in the good
old way. The rest of the country
though has grown up without these
traditions and il need cauSe no sur-
prise to learn that our Ambassador
Mr.. Choate, at diner given to King
Edward in London, allowed the Queen
to be lead into the dining room ahead
of the King. From the British point
of view this was objectionable From
the American it was our customary
Difference to the woman. So cut and
dried are the questions of precedence
in foreign courts that the event may

ence of crowned heads. But after
all how much more pleasing it was to
have the unusual Difference shown to
the gentler sex! On the other hand,
if we are to do business hereafter with
royalty we are in need of sort Of

A DESERTER

Lieutenant Rodman commander Of
the government ship Iroquos was a
busy man today while the Sierra was
in port. He was engaged in hunting
for a deserter from the American ship
Abbarenda which is stationed at Page
Page.
The deserter was an oiIer on the Abb
barenda. The commandment at Page
Page suspected that he had slowed
away on the Sierra, so notified Admiral
Merry to try and recapture him. The
deserter evidently got wind of the fact
that the local naval authorities were
after him, so with the connivance of
some of the men on the Sierra slowed
away and escaped capture Captain
HOudlette, the commander Of the Sier-
ra, promised to have the man hunted
up and placed under arrest by the time
the ship reached San Francisco. The
deserter will then be turned over to
