The present oleomnrgarine tax
OF ten cents n pound is not nearly
stringent enough. The tax is too
low to prevent oleomargartne from
being sold at profit, even after
paying the tax, rs soon rs bntter is
worth over thirty cents pound.
But it is estimated that ninety five
per cent Of the oieomargurine eva.
des the tax altogether The. tax
applies only when it is colored
yellcw to initiate butter. 1t is n
tax on fraud, not tax on oleomar-
gsrine. Nobody objects to the
sale Of oieomargarine rs oleomar-
garine. But the evasion is effect
cd by selling the tub of white oleo-
margarine to the grocer and give
him n bottle of coloriug matter
with it. The grocer then works
the color into it and sells il as.
butter. The inspection is made
at the factury and not at the store.
The evasion comes after the inpec-
ton. OF course the grocer violates
the law and risks the penalty, but
what is needed is a more drastic
penalty. as severe as that for vio-
lsting the internal revenue law on
tobacco or liquor, A deliberate
fraud deserves no mercy NJ the
bsuds OF the law. IT 10 an outlaw.

The first authentic record OF the use
OF rel forced concrete was at the
Worlds Fair in Paris, 1855. AT that
time, small row boat, by Mr..
Lambot, about fourteen feet long and
conltructed Ct cement mortar, one
half inch thick, reinforced by wire
netting, was on exhibition. This boat
is still in use at Melaval, France.
Since that time tho use of reinfor ced
concrete has become SO important in
building operations that a national
exposition OF conrete and reinforced
concrete products is held each year
in the big Coliseum, Chicago
The rext exhibition will be held
February 1926 and il is expected
that over one hundred thousand
people will attend. The railroads
have made reduced rates on account
of the Snow.
Concrete is now used in the con-
struction OF beo-bives, hog house,
pipe organs, boats, silos, barn floors,
baby cradles, burial vaults, in Il e
Panama Canal, and in making collar
buttons, to say nothing Of street
pavements, skys -iapers and hen
coops.
With such an extraordinary scope,

STREET ADDRESSES NEEDED
IncompleteIy Addressed Letters Often
DELAYED in Being Delivered

The public would get much more
satisfactory mail service If everyone
would address letters 'and other mail
to some street address, instead of
simply Calumet Mich" as is so often
done. While such letter usually finds
its way to the addressce, IL is fire.
quently held up day or so while the
clerks are searching for the address
of the person to whom the letter is to
be delivered. People who have common
names should be especially careful In
this respect For instance, there may
me more than dozen John Anderson
Calumet. Mich when a letter comes
addressed to "John A. Anderson, Cal
umet Mich" there is nothing to do
but to pass il from one carrier to
another until the right Anderson is
located
Persons making kicks on delays be-
cause of incomplete addresses are not
entitled To any kick. A distributor must
handle mail for nearly 10000 people
and must commit their addresses,
which is no small task. Besides, the
clerk must keep tab on all changes In
addresses as well as transients. De-
lays and mistakes on the part of per-
sons addressing mail causes much
trouble and delay. The old advice still
holds good address your mail prop

MAY KEEP POLLS OPEN TO
LATE HOUR FOR PRIMARY

Although Tuesday, September 6, pri-
mary election day. Is not n legal holi-
day and business places will remain
open as usual, a movement is on foot
in Calumet township to keep the polls
and voting places open until a later
hour than formerly, so that all who
desire to do SO may vote. IL is likely
that a special meeting of the Calumet
township board will be held soon to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of this step.
As IL Is not considered likely that the
mines of Calumet will be closed down
ON primary election day the extension
OF time viii be appreciated by those
employed by the mining companies II
IL can be arranged,
The law provides that the election
booths In villages be open from a. IN.
until . u. m. but i'm townships, II is be-
hevcd that a longer time can be ar
ranged. 1t is proposed to keep the
booths open from a. IN. until p. I'M.
The chief objection seems to
be the fact that the expense
of the election would b heavier
and if the board can arrange, without
too much additional expense. 1t Is
likely that the voting will continue UNI
Ill s o'clock IN Calumet township.
