The oleomargarine discussion end

Whereas, For % years the dairy
men OF this country have contended
against oleomargarine being palmed
OFF on dealer and consumer as genu-
Inc butter, and have contended
against the product being cOlored like
butter, saying that il should sell upon
its merits for price based upon its
commercial value, and
Whereas, We believe that so per
cent OF the OleOmargarine sold TO-
day is sold for pure butter and is so
sold because there is more profit in
IL than in pure butter, and
Whereas, In view of the fact that
the government tax OF ten cents per
pound on cOlOred oleOmargarine Is
assumed by the consumer to be the
cause Of the high cost of butter; VIC
are willing to admit the reducing OF
all taxes to a nominal sum provided
bill is passed prohibiting the col
oring of oleomargarine in imitation
of butter.
Resolved, That the members Of
Diamond State Grange, No. ?, p. Of
H., respectfully request Representa-
tives and Senators in Congress to
support any bill that will make it inn
possible for oleomargaine 10 be inn

Primoqeniture.

The law of primogeniture sends
back its roots to the most ancient
times. Away back in the patriarchal
ages the first-born son had superb
ority over all his brethren, and in the
absence of his father was In every
important sense the head Of the house.
Upon the death OF the father he be-
came, by the unwritten Law. which
could not be questioned, the priest
and lord of the family, and naturally
to him fell the property as well as the
honors OF the household. Primogeni-
ture, wherever It is found today, Is
the lingering remnant Of the ancient
custom-a custom which common
sense and justice pronounce to be as
unfair as 1t is superstitious.
