Against Change In OIeo Law.

State Master Stetson of Maine said
recently in newspaper interview that
the Maine members of the grange are
particularly interested in the proposed
repeal of the oleomargarine law and
the furthering of the parcels post.
Manufacturers of oleo propose TO in
troduce bin in congress which will
allow them to label their product but
ter but if such a bill is put in it will
be strenuously opposed by the agricul-
tural interests. The grange wants also
to see the parcels post extended be-
cause it believes it will be a good
thing.
When asked what the attitude of the
grange would be on the proposed re-
submission of the prohibitory law, Mr..
Stetson said that no effort would be
made to oppose the passage of such
bill. but that the Maine grange would
strongly oppose the repeal of the pro
hibitory law

Was Sullivan. after all. q rascal or a

As nearly as her round and comely

l made a quick resolution, and acted
on 1t at once.
"You are not entirely frank with
