'NOTCHES' FOR HYENAS---
Shepherd Recalls Peril

Not at all unlike the notches on
a gangster's gun are the ~ big
spikes imbedded in the shepherds
rod Of Stephen A. Haboush. The
difference is that each spike repre-
sents a dead jackal, hyena or wolf
not a human life.
Nowadays he spends his time
lecturing before church groups,
telling of his boyhood as a Pales-
tinian shepherd. The much-scar-
red rod more than once has meant
the difference between life and
death for him and his flocks on
the lonely western shores of the
Sea Of Galilee.
For twelve years I was nurse
maid to a flock of IS sheep and
dozen goats" he said here Tues
day. "It wasn't an easy job, for
I love goats like the Irish like the
English. Nevertheless, thanks to
my trusty black oak rod, never
lost more than seven or eight ami
mails year. That's even a pretty
good record among the Palestine
tribes of today"
His father was maktar, or chief,
of the Haboush tribe of 500 fam
lilies situated at Tiberias, on the
Galilee shores thirteen miles from
Nazareth. When the father died
several years ago, Stephen Haboush
became a patriarchal head of the
tribe despite the fact he lived in
the United States and had become
a citizen.
"As q result, I have to return to
my homeland every four years."
he said. I'm the meantime our
tribal affairs are handled by a
council Of sheiks."
Coming To Sauk Centre
The members of the Sauk Cen
tre Rotary Club and the students
of the high school and their teach
ers are to have the unusual oppor-
tunity to hear this native son of
Galilee when he is to address them

Petition To
Set Aside
Oleo Order
Signed By John
Brandt, Of Land o.
Lakes. w. S. Moscrip

In a petition filed in the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals at
st. Louis, asking that the oleo-
margarine order Of Paul v. Nc
Mutt, Federal Security Administra-
tor, be set aside and reversed,
Land o. Lakes Creameries and the
Twin City Milk Producers Associa-
ton assert that Mr.. McNutt has
not now and never has had the
authority to make the oleo order,
declaring that sole power thereof
rests with the Secretary Of Agri-
culture.
The petition, filed by Doherty,
Rumble, Butler, Sullivan & Mitch
ell, attorneys for the petitioners,
declares that oleomargarine Is US
ed for the same purposes as butter
and is a substitute thereof and II
the order stands permitting It to
more nearly simulate butter in col
or, flavor or texture, the result
will be an increased use Of oleo-
margarine and decreased sale and
consumption of butter. The use
of the ingredients permitted in the
ruling will not promote honesty
and fair dealing in the interests Of
consumers and will lead consum-
ers to believe that oleo actually
has substantial quantities Of but
ter in 1t.
The petition is signed by John
Brandt, president Of Land o. Lakes
Creameries, and w. 8. Moscrip.
president of the Twin City Milk
Producers Association.
