LETTERS TO EDITOR
Oleomargarine in the South

To the Editor Of The Age-Herald:
 As oleomargarne is largely composed of peanut and cotton seed oil. our south ern people will be interested in cam paign now being conducted in New York. Wisconsin and other butter-making states
 It seems that the farmers in those states have been accustomed to selling thei, cream to the big centralizers and themselves using oleomargarine.
 Now these centralizers, in order to boost the price of butter, are urging the farmers to boycot o1eomargarine and go back to the use of butter. The Cream cry Journal reports that the members of the New York State Dairymen's league at their recent meeting, swore off on the use of oleomargarine in order to help the consumption of dairy products, which have almost become a drug on the market"
 When it is remembered that the milk in which our oils are churned in pasteur- ized under the supervision of the United States department of agriculture and all the materials used are processed under the same supervision, and that every package marked United States Inspect ed and Passed it seem there is good room for the southern people to do a little swearing off
 Especially is this true when we fur thcr remember that these hg centralizers supply more than half the butter used in southern cities, and that this butter is made without inspection from neutral ized and deodorized cream from diseased as we'll as healthy cows.
 Wisconsin has a law requiring skim and buttermilk to be pasteurized before it is returned to the farmer to be fed to hogs; but there is neither state nor a federal law requiring butter to be made from pasteurzed cream.
 As long as this state of affairs exists the farmers of those states will prob ably continue to eat peanut and cotton seed oil in Limited States Inspected and Passed oleomargarine, and ship their diseased, deodorized butter south.

advocated immediate organizatio of an army of 5,000,000 men, which Chairman Chamberlain, of the military committee, declared was impossible. Senator War ren, senior republican committeeman of the military committee, declared Con- gress was handling the draft question with kid gloves and not bare handed, v and that IS to 45 age limits are neces- sary.
 IT. connection with the draft question, Senator Johnson announced he would postpone until the new army programme is submitted his effort for legislation to give states credit in future draft calls for excess of man power furnished by voluntary enlistments.
 EXEMPTION OF NEUTRALS
 Exemption of neutrals from the dratt evoked a brief controversy. Chairman Chamberlain presented an amendment which he said the state department de- sired enacted providing for exemption of neutral citizens. He said the present provision of the draft law conflicts with treaties between the United States and Spain, Switzerland, Nrway Denmark and Sweden and that exemption from American draft of their citizens was re- garded by the state department as of pressing" importance. The Senate, how ever, adopted the Hitchcock substitute.
 Among minor amendments written into the bill by the Senate was a provision that lack of college education shall not deprive men of positions in the aviation service. Another amendment would re- quire factory owners to whom enlisted men are assigned in making war mate rials, to pay them regular wage scales, with their army pay suspended during their industrial employment.

Sick of the Liquor Curse. -
(Ludlow Tribune.)

Nationwide prohibition grows in ia
vor as the weeks go by, and there are
increasing indications that it will be-
come a fact in due time. Even those
who are not quite sure that a prohibi-
tion amendment belongs in the nation
al constitution realize what it would
mean to the general welfare of the
country and are inclined to help II
along. The Brattleboro Reformer,
while leaning toward the state rights
phase of the question and on general
principles opposed to including such y
proposition in the federal constitution,
admits that "thc country, however, is
sick of the liquor curse, and the yot-
ing will not consider the tcchnicali-
ties of state rights and constitutional
ity. National prohibition would be q
blessing to the country, and it is bound
to come regardless of the method in
getting it. When our legislature has a
chance we expect that Vermont will
strongly endorse the federal amend
ment -
This broad view is all the more graf
flying to the friends of prohibition be
cause it is taken in face of an ex
/ pressed opinion that vermont may
want prohibition, but it has no right t.
make The decision which il wants fol
/ itself apply to some ether states hun
.ircds of miles away which few Yer
monters ever visit
If prohibition is good for Brattleboro
/ it is good for Bennington. If il is gooC
for Vermont, it is good for any Other
