Compare 7roc0 zOith the

Gives /

The test of Troco is on the
table, in comparison with the
best creamery butter. This is
where it wins butter lovers.
For cooking it has no equal,
either in results or from the
standpoint of economy. .Troco
goes farther than butter.
Old laws, made before Troco
was invented, compel us to label
it as an oleomargarine. This. is
extremely misleading.
'Troco is a quality product
used in homes where only the
best is tolerated. Here flavor,
quality and the assurance of fas-
tidious manufacturing methods
insure the popularity of Troco.

SOlpeS the Butter
Problem

Troco is not merely a butter
substitute; it is the successor to
butter. It tastes exactly like the
finest creamery butter and is as
digestible as butter, with the
same high nutritive value.
Troco solves the butter prob
lem for those who hitherto have
used nothing but the best cream
cry butter. These critical users
say that rarely is butter so
sweet and delicate in flavor.
But don't just ask for nut
butter" or nut margarine" and
expect to enjoy this de luxe
flavor.
Ask for Troco and get the real
butter flavor.

News Of the death of Lieut.. Francis
w. Payne was received here Tuesday.
Lieut.. Payne was killed in battle in
France July 10Th last: aged twenty
six years. At the time he volunteered
for service in the Army he was prac-
ticing law in Charleston, W. Va. where
he was born and reared. The kanaw-
ha County Bar Association, of that
city. held Il memorial session on the
18th of this month and adopted resOlu-
lions of sorrow. Several addresses
were made in which feeling tributes
were paid to his good qualities as Il
citizen and his patriotism as IA soldier.
The death of Lieut.. Payne again
brings the war to Bossier Parish. for
he was the youngest son of Mrs. Belle
(Abney) Payne, horn at Bellevue just
prior to the opening of the Confederate
War. daughter of Hon. \. A. and Lou
lisa (McDade) Abney, both deceased,
and half sister of Mrs. w. H. Scanland

This drainage means more to BOsSier
