5000 Pounds ofOleo
SoMim City Each Week
Over Half of the Amount is Pur-
chased by Dairy Farmers
Has No Food Value.

The decreasing price of high
class butter is said to be caused
by over-production. Oleomarga-
rine is probably the greatest fac
tor in this over-production.
In nosing about the city this
week a Herald representative cas-
ually made inquiries as to the
amount of oleomargarine sold in
the city-in the very heart of the
best dairy section of the state OF
Minnesota.
The facts CLEANED were astound-
ing. One grocery store informed
The Herald that their standing or
der was for 81 cases of oleomar-
garine each week, and that til. y
always sold out. There are nine
other grocery stores in the city so
The Herald concludes that the es-
innate that there are 100 cases. OF
5000 pounds of oleomargarine sold
in Sank Centre each week is not
under estimated.
It is true that "oleo" sells for
about one-half the price of good
creamery butter. 1t is also trus
that it's food value is almost nil
and it is shame to feed this to
growing children. The federal
government requires that the in
gradients of the "oleo" shall be
printed on each package. One OF
the popular brands sold in this
city contains the following printed
notice OF ingredients:

Men ofCongo Church
Score as Dinner Hosts
Annual Feed for Ladies Last Eve
ning-185 Served-Officers
Elected

1t has Deen the custom IOf sew
eral years for the men of the Con-
gregational church to serve a din
ner to the ladies and friends of
the church each year.
The first dinner was quite sue
cess but the men have grown in
proficiency by experience and the
service last evening could not have
been excelled by the cleverest
bunch of sub-debs in the land.
The base of the dinner was
Swift's premium ham deliciously
baked. The trimmins' was the
good old rutabaga and delectable
cabbage salad the latter the sole
culinary effort of v. G.. Wedge.
Gene Richards and Theodore
Dock, minus their pipes, made the
coffee that would have made Mr..
Darlington Hall, or any other cof-
fee expert green eyed with jeal-
ousy.
One hundred eighty-five were
served at a bakers dozen tables.
Messers. Wedge, Burgess and
Walker and half dozen or so very
clever assistants n the kitchen and
as hash singers each one did his
stuff-good work, square work and
true work and entitled them to
wages.
The desert was ice cream and as
sorted cake.
At the conclusion of the meal
while the guests were still at table
Rev. F. G. Stillwell called the an
nual business meeting of the
church to order The report of
Secretary v. T. Conklin and Treas.

society for the past year had been
paid and that there was small
| balance in the treasury. The

had been subscribed in the every
member drive campaign a few
weeks ago.

ent and treasurer of the Sunday

Gus ladies societies showed every

the county board of health.
The GAR, the 10 American Lee

The usual amount was appro-

wolves and $500 for cubs. The
county adds $3.50 to make the
total bounty on a full grown

the total bounty on cub wolf So.
The board had levied $462,50 for
various purposes, as follows:

There is strong sentiment for the
budgeting of the road and bridge

BOOST THE AMERICAN LEGION
 DRIVE.

The American Legion began membership drive at the last annual gathering at Louisville that is intensivey progressing throughout the United States zach of the 54 Departments allotted quota to make up during the year. The Departments include one in each of the 48 States of the Union and in each, Alaska Canada, District of Co., lumbia Hawaii Mexico and Panama. At the end of the old year the Departments had got mem bers amounting to 5o41 per cent of the aggregate of the number allotted It is believed that far more than the allotments will be gained before the time limit.
 Arkansas, the home State of National Com mander O. L. Bodenhamer ranked first in percent age of gains up to December 31 She had made up her allotment and 619 per cent additional showing 10619 per cent. Massachusetts had made the poorest showing among the American States, 29.73 per cent She was 53d among the Depart ments Canada only has done less. Alaska with the work cut out for her 481 per cent. com peted stands 32d among the 54 Departments.
 The Empire believes the American Legion is a very worthy organization. It is so thoroughly con- vinced that it urges without hesitation reservation every eligible man to join up The Legion already has so large percentage of the ex-servce men enrolled as members that it generally is accepted that it speaks for the former soldiers and sailors when it speaks at all. It is regarded as a repre- sentative organization. To make it actually repre- sentative and to permit it to speak with unques- tioned authenticity for the former service men there should be quite nearly complete utilization with it. The organization is unselfish patriotic in the right sense and stands for peace and orderly progress Why not make it 100 per cent repre- sentative of the former service men in Alaska?

EUROPE AGAIN HITS
NEW TARIFF RATES
Passage of Bill EvokeS Crit
iCal, 0utburSt ir Press
Against U. S.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 16.-Although the
British press, as a whole, has not yet
reacted to passage of the tariff bill by
both houses of congress, some of the
principal organs have voiced their views
on the effect the new rates will have
on American foreign trade. Such ex-
pressions as have appeared take the
view the effect will be decidedly ad-
verse.
The Times, pointing out that over a
score of foreign countries already have
protested against the provisions of the
tariff, says that several of them have
made it plain that if the United States
Is resolved not to buy from them, they
viii have to reduce their buyingS from
the United States"
Expressing the view that the chief
interest in the new tariff for students
of practical economics lies in the OBJ
ject lesson it affords of the dangerous
issue of a valuable principle" the Tele-
graph, like its contemporaries points to
protests to America from foreign gov
ernmentS.
Taking a similar line, the Manchester
guardian SAYS:
Mr.. Hoover is far too good an
economist not to know that trade is a
matter of exchange and that by refus-
ing to take other peoples goods.
America prevents them from buying
from her"
