The high price of dairy products has
again opened up the discussion OF the
question of repeal of the tax on oleo-
margarine. The tax on oleomargarlne
has Just one effect, as it has just one
purpose keeps up the price of milk
and of all the products of milk. The
dairy industry is, of course, an honest
and commendable one, and nobody is
clamoring for the ruin of those engaged
in it. But so large proportion of the
people have been compelled to forego
the use of butter, it is hardly justifiable
to require them to pay heavy tax on
a substitute that is admitted whole
some, nutritious End palatable. Even
under the handicap, when colored, just
as most butter is, to suit the popular
fancy, of a heavy tax, sales of cleo
margarine are steadily and rapidly in
creasing, but they are sales at prices
not as much less than those of butter
as they should be, OF as they would be
if the CwO substances could meet IN the
market on fair terms OF competition.
At times like these, when the cheaper
ing of good foods has direct and i'm
mediate relation to the national safety
as we'll as the national welfare, the
perpetuation Of special tax on oleo-
margarine is well nigh intolerable.

or private, will be indexed by name and
the records filed in alphabetical order
for immediate reference should he ap-

With the description of each soldier
will be given the name of his next OF

The call was for the finish of the
first contingent of 80 men, making
the 40 per cent Of full quota. The
next call will be Oct. 3. as now
planned, for about the same number.
The patriotic meeting as planned
by the citizens of Selmer, was held
at 3 pm, on the street in front of
the National Bank. No building
could hold half the crowd, which was
estimated to be fully 1000. \
The speakers occupied an outomo-
bile, while scores formed a big circle
across the street, and the crowd &C.
cupied the inner circle and the broad
sidewalks in the rear and on the side.

on very important job, something

that was road working: working Mon
day on Oxford road, Tuesday and
Wednesday on the Gravelhill and

to do yet, and | think the people
should lay hold and push the work
through. That is very important
road. and if everybody would lay

others around Gravelhill, it would
