OUR DAIRY INTERESTS
MUST Be PROTECTED

The uncolored Oleo, the white
Oleo is the poor mans butter. 1t
is cheap, whereas the colored oleo
runs into fancy prices. If the
poor man wants it colored he can
color it himself for much less than
ten cents pound.
The white oleo cannot be easily
adulterated. Its whiteness is the
poor mans protection and to allow
colored oleo to be solid puts a
premium on adulteration-
The oleo interests want the tax
taken off the colored oleo which
we consider blow at the prosperi ty
of the dairy interests, and we be-
lieve the farmers OF the dairy states
are against it for they never could
hope to compete with the manufact-
ures of the base imitation Dairy
farmers would turn to something
else and the price of imitation
would soar so high that the con-
sumer would have to pay more for
it, than we are now paying for
the genuine article.

W. W. Houston Passed away In Florida Born and
Raised in Extra and Adr.,ed by All For
His Honesty and Integrity

Nv. w. Houston was born at
Extra Iowa, August Ist, 1888. He
was son of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. A. b. Houston, and spent
his boyhood days in Extra and
Atlantic, where he had many friends
tie received his college training
at Ames and Grinnell and cn Dec
he 1ith 1883, was united in mar
'iage with Miss Lora Fitch, daught-
er OF the late Reverard and Mrs
l., e. Fitch of Anita, Iowa, at
Omaha Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs
Houston went to Atlanta, Georgia
The family home, and there he
established the Keeley Institute OF
which he was markedly successful.
In 1902, they removed to Mag
ara Falls, N. y. where he engag-
ed in the real estate business in
which he was markedly successful.
He was member OF the Masonic
order in Niagara Falls for some
ears. Loving the work, lie decid-
I'd to take the higher degrees in
the Scottish rites during December
of 1916. To do this he was Obliged
% so to Buffalo, and this heavy
work added to his already strenuous
life, resulted in physical collapse
from which he never fully recover
ed. On December eleventh, he be
came very i'll, and at the advice
Of physicians, went to Florida, whose
sunny climate he had enjoyed dur
yng the twelve preceding winters
Medical skill and loving care fail
cd to restore physical health, and
on April the 20, at one p. Nj
Ills earthly life ended. During his
Illness the 32nd degree for which
ue was ambitious, was conferred
upon him by the Masonic fraternity
EN-president Taft is the only Other
member to be so honored for the
order under similar circumstances
The most altruistic ideals OF Mas
onry came to govern his life and
in the city, he was ever interested
IN securing the best administration
of law, and by his kindly personal
helpfulness he won the love oi
rich and poor, to whom his advice
vas priceless, and his Judgment
trust worthy. Aside from material
helpfulness, he succeeded in organ
lzing the Rotary Club OF Niagara
Falls, having for its object commun-
tty up lift and betterment. Mr..
houston was very generally loved
by all who knew him, but, like
all good men was best loved in
his own home, and by the wife
who walked beside him for almost
twenty-nine years, sharing health
and JOY OF sorrow and sickness.

1 should have answered YOUR

go on the range to shoot for

can be a five. AT rapid fire 10
shots at 200 yards kneeling, 10
shots at 500 yards and 10 shots at
500 yards lying down. At 200 yards
we have a minute to fire 10 shots.
At 800 and 500 yards minute
and ten seconds. These army rifles
only hold five cartridges and YOU
have to figure on re-loading during
that time. At slow fire we shoot
10 shots at 800 yards while sitting
10 at 500 yards prone and 10 to
500 pron, with a sand bag to rest
your rifle ON. The target at 200
yards is supposed to represent

LAST CALL FOR THE
CORN AND PIG CLUB

This is the last call for boys who
want to join the acre corn club
The chap who looks ahead is the
one who wins success. No doubt
next fall there will be lot OF
the lads in the county who will
wish that they had entered the con-
test.
The new 100-bushel club is to
be formed this fall. 1t will be made
up of boys who have grown 100
bushels or more of corn ON an
acre OF land Some fine medals are
to be given to these boys. Already
there are about 80 charter members
who have grown 100 bushels or
more in former years and it is eX-
pected that there will be the name
of some lad from Audubon Count
to put on the honor list when the
time comes next fall
PIG CLUB.
Perhaps there are boys who could
not grow an acre OF corn but
would like to join the Pig Club
Boys may join both clubs if they
like. Girls may join the pig club
also. The age limits are from 10 to
Is years, and some valuable state
and County prizes are offered for
this work This is easier work
than raising corn and small bows
and girls handle it nicely. Iowa
State College, Ames, furnishes in
structions and the same county and
township leaders have charge of
it as look after the corn club work.
Write to your county leader, F. c..
Sampson, to the county supemnten-
dent of schools, or to State Club
