DID YOU EVER BREAK A
ROLL OF BUTTER IN TWO?

You should break q pound
of Blue Valley butter in two,
and then break pound of any
other butter in the same way
Just as If you were breaking
q piece of cake.
You will be surprised how
readily Blue Valley butter
breaks, you will be more sur
prised at the difference in the
broken surface between Blue
Valley butter and the next
best II will surprise you to
see that il breaks with an un-
even. Jagged surface, much as
a piece of slate will break. Be
cause IL is compressed to a
point where IL is comparative
ly brittle and its broken sur
face presents d distinct grain.
One pound Of IL has all the
butterfat that can be com
pressed into a pound. one
fourth more butter than you
can set in pound OF ordinary
creamery butter. 1t is eco
Eomical butter for either table
or cooking.
There is only one way TO gee

ley butter. always with the let

THE PATH OF YESTERDAY.
There's a path that leads to Yester-
day-you know it;
A rambling path Of blossoms and
perfume.
You remember how the wild grapes
overgrow it
To the house upon the hilltop deep
in bloom
There's a path that leads to Yestel-
day through flowers.
Where the wood thrush is voice OF
magic song;
Where the cricket snaps its fairy whip
for hours,
And the barefoot boy goes whist
ling all day long.
There's a path that leads to Yester-
day through dingles,
OF the forest where the wood pool
is an eye,
And the sunbeam is a twinkle soft
that mingles,
With the gladness of a girl who
dances by.
Oh. the path that leads TO Yesterday!
It's calling,
Don't you hear it? How it cats
through many things.
Through its roses. like the memories
now falling.
And the dreamlike Westward fiutter-
ing Of wings.
On the path that leads to Yesterday
we've started:
Hear II calling with its many
whippoorwills.
Like the voice of old happiness de
parted
Through the darkness where the
moon rests on the hills.

LABOR WAR SHUTS SHOPS
Trouble in Lumber Territory Di-
rect Cause of Temporary
Idleness in Houston.

Thornwell Fay, vice president
and general manager Of tn" sun
set-C Central lines, when asked the
cause of the shutdown in the
Houston shops of the system, re-
sulting in the idleness Of several
hundred men said that he be-
lieved the situation was directly
due to the labor troubles in the
lumber territory.
Mr.. Fay said that the lack Of
business with the lumbermen had
resulted in the idleness Of many
cars and that there was very lit
tie repair work TO be done. About
80 mills have shut down and not
a wheel is turning in any of them.
Not only have they stopped ship
ping lumber, but the business Of
hauling supplies into the lumber
country has practically reached
standstill.
With the rolling stock idle the
railroads are Immediately affect
ed. With no work to do, accord
ing TO Mr.. Fay, the shops necessa-
rily have TO be closed temporarily
Thus the labor troubles among
the lumbermen reflect immediate
ly upon the railroad workers.

Landlord and Tenant.

ltasca Item:
In different sections of the
State the question of an increase
in land rent is being agitated.
Landlords in some instances are
demanding one third of the cot
ton as well as one third Of the
corn and an additional cash bon
us OF from one TO three dollars an
acre. In some instance even
greater demands are being made.
These demands are the natural
outgrowth of the increased value
of farm lands. When the land was
worth $40 to 30 an acre landlords
could receive a profit of 10 per
cent at the old rent scale. but
since the values have risen from
$50 to S75 per acre the interest
received on the investment is cut
down.
But an increase in the rental
charge is both unwise and unjust
and the renter is not TO be blam-
ed for entering vigorous protest
renters will leave the black land
farm and seek the cheaper lands
Of the west.
II is unjust because the renter
reaps no larger yield from the
land than when it sold at the low
er price, and even if he did. he
would pay proportionally for it,
II IS evident that the black land
Of Texas cost too much money for
it TO be good investment when it
produces only a fourth to a third
Of bale of cotton per acre. The
only solution of the whole ques-
ton is the cutting up Of the land
into smaller farms and more in
tensive farming If one acre can
be induced TO produce double the
amount of cotton il now produces
by the better selection of seeds
and more attention to scientific
methods at one third more labor
both the landlord and tenant will
reap the benefit.
4 raise in rents will drive de-
sirable tenants from the country
and the landlord will receive less
returns from his land than at the
present. Intensive farming is the
only solution of the rent question
in the black land belt.
