Here's new and simple food delight to
serve three times day-Land O. Lakes
Sweet Cream Butter.
Not just another butter, but diff
ferent butter that makes bread and
other foods better because of the sweet
cream taste. Ii is the difference between
sweet cream and sour cream. 1t is that
taste you recall when you think of
peaches and cream"-a taste that re-
minds you of the fresh. fragrant sweet
ness of blossoming clover. You'll love

A Tse Butter with the Sweet Cream Taste A

the sweet cream taste. It's a taste that
cannot be imitated-it must come from
pure sweet cream.
How Land O. Lakes Butter
is Made
In the land of lakes, where pastures
are cool and green the summer long and
drought is unknown, thousands OF farm.
ers are supplying nearby creameries
daily with pure, sweet cream from tested
herds of cows. There, while it is still
sweet, it is churned into butter, delicately
salted and each churning tested by a
government grader for quality, taste and
texture. (See the certificate of quality
authorized by u. S. Government in each
package.)
You'll love the sweet cream taste when
you have once compared it with the
sharper taste of ordinary butter. which
is made of sour cream.
Evening star., 1928-04-19

We purchase direct from the producers
"a cooperative organization of dairy
farmers-and therefore can offer you this
sweet cream butter for only trif1e more
than the cost of ordinary butter.
Land O. Lakes Sweet Cream Butter is
sold at all Sanitary Grocery Co. g. Piggy
Wiggly Stores.

Make This Simple Test

First-Spread some ordinary butter
on piping hot piece of toast. Smell and
taste it while it is hot.
Second-Spread some Land O Lakes
Sweet Cream Butter on a piping hot
piece of toast Smell and taste it while
it is hot A comparison of the odor and
taste will tell the difference between
ordinary butter made from sour cream
and Land O. Lakes which is made out of
pure sweet cream. Then you will know
why women willingly pay little more.
You'll love the sweet cream taste.

Lifeboats Capsize
An unsuccessful attempt was
made by the crew of the Hayward
to launch a lifeboat. Passengers on
the Peralta said several life boats
lowered over the side of that vessel
capsi2cd as soon as they hit the
rough water.
Passengers on the upper decks
threw hundreds of life preserVcrs
overheard to those struggling in the
water.
Rescue boats put off from Goat
Island and picked up a number Of
those who had been washed over
board from the Peralta.
Men and women pulled from the
water were wrapped in blankets
and coats and given treatment at
the emergency hospitals at the pier.
\ few were taken to the Oakland
Emergency hospital.
One theory advanced for the
cause Of the accident was that the
Pcralta might have been inproptr-
N ballasted.
The ship has two ballast tanks Of
so tons capacity each. When the
passcEgcrs crowd to one end Of the
