The farmers of Michigan will find
new proposition TO cut the present
prohibitive internal revenue tax on
oleomargarine, a menace to the but
ter-making industry. Secretary Mac
Veagh, of the treasury, has worked
out the details of a provision fixing
fiat rate of two cents a pound.
This rate is intended to take the

against colored oleomargarine and the
halfcent rate taxed against uncolored
This change would probably reduce

color, and adapted to the pro-

pumpkins, and peas of every
variety grow in abundance.

day he will be compelled to visit

Widow hat for the first 'breeze"

out of rail fences and changes
the days of the week.
