FIGHTING OLEO VIOLATIONS,
State Grange Representatives and Pure
Butter Association Men at Meeting,
Omganizing a determined crusade
against violations of the state oleo law,
which prohibite the sale of any color-
ed oleomargarine, members of the
Pure Butter Protective Association of
Pennsylvania, officers of the State
Grange, at a conference in Phila-
delphia, appointed a committee of
fifteen to cooperate with Agent Harry
P. Cassidy, of the Dairy and Food De-
partment, to plan the details of =a
campaign.
This action followed the declaration
made by W. D. Edson, of the Pure
Butter Protective Association, that
the most flagrant violations of the
state oleo law oceur in this city, under
the nose of those most active in the
fight against such violations, and the
assertion of State Dairy and Food
Commissioner Foust, that concerted
action in Pittsburg has resulted in
strict adherence to the state law in
that city.
Difficulty has always been en-
countered in obtaining conviction
under the present state law, This law
makes it a misdemeanor to sell any
colored oleo, The federal statute pro-
vides for a tax of one quarter of a
cent a pound on all colored oleo in
which the coloring bas not been at-
tained by artificial ingredients, while
a tax of ten cents is provided for oleo
which is artificially colored. The
whole obj ct of both acts is to prevent
the substitution of oleo for butter.
It has become possible now, how-
evar to producea yellow oleo, in which
no trace of artificial eoloring can be
found by thechemists. This product is
placed on the quarter of a cent a pound
list by the dealers, and is wrapped in
packages containing the government
stamp and guarantee that it is free
from artificial coloring, When pros-
ecution is brought under the state law,
the defendant points out that he has
complied with the federal statue,
When it isshown to the average jury
thst the product was sold as oleo, and
that, even though it is colored, it con.
tains no harmful ingredients, the re-
sult is usually an acquittal, The pres-
ent movement is calculated to ob-
tain legislation which would place the
10 cent tax on all colored oleo, which
would nullify the protection of the
federal statute,
Arrangements are also being made
by Foust to prepare the license blank
which will pledge all dealers in oleo to
keep all products sold by them free
from any coloration whatever or in-
gredients to make oleo appear any
shade or colpr of butter, Foust de.
clares that after the first of the year
he will issue no licenses for the sale of
colored oleo.
Among those who took active part
iu the discussion at yesterday's meet-
ing were Thomas Sharpless, of West
Chester, who presided : Dr. B. H.
Warren and Edward Walter, of West
Chester ; W. F, Hill, of Huntingdon ;
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Foust, of Harrisburg ; AN. Detrich,

To Hart Your Town,

Oppose improvements,
Mistrust public men
Bun the town down to strangers,
Go to some other town to trade.
Refuse to advertise in your paper,
Do not invest a cent ; lay out your
money somewhere else,
Be particular to discredit the mo-
tives of publie spirited men,
Lengthen your face when a stranger
speaks of locating in your town,
If a man wants to buy your p!oper-
ty ssk him two prices for it.
If he wants anybody's else, inter-
fere and discourage him,
Refuse to see the merit in any

Run down your officers.

At clearfield, on petition of the Mo
Mullen and McClain heirs, the one
bundred and ten acre tract of land lo.
cated just this side of Oaceola known
as the McMullen property was sold by
Sheriff Woolridge. There were quite
a number of bidders, but the property
was finally sold to Dr, F. K. White,
of Philipsburg who has associated
with him in the transaction several
other good, substantial men. The
consideration was $5000
It is the purpose of the purchasers
to form a company and at once devel-
op the property, which is known to
contain good deposits of B and C coal,
and some little of the Moshannon vein,
The coal is of splendid quality, and
the purchasers consider themselves
fortunate, in securing this property.
We are informed that just as soon as
engineers can get to work the improve-
ments will be commenced, and that a
good part of the surface will be laid off
into town lots and sold for building
purposes.

MANY FARMERS ARE STUNG,
They Learn a New Stock Insurance Trick,
About a hundred farmers in a part
of Northumberland county are sadder
and wiser now than they were a year
ago, after a drar experience in live
stock insurance,
It seems that sbout a year ago an
insurance agent went through the
country placing insurance at many of
the farms near Shamokin on the live
stock. The farmers paid a quarterly
premium or more in advance. In due
time they received their policies. Af-
ter the insurance had been carried a
short timewnost of them allowed it to
drop.
They thought nothing more of it un-
tiLrecently when they received notice
@om the company to pay up their
back premiums which were almost a
year in arrears. They protested on the
ground that they did not desire in-
surance any more and had decided to
give it up.
They then learned that in the fine
print of their application for insurance
on thelr stock they agreed to have all
the premiums paid io full before they
notified the company that they Io-
tended to drop it. Few of them read
the application which they signed.
They expected that when they stop-
ped paying, Lhat they would stop re
ceiving insurance, They now dis
cover that unless they pay the prem-
fums for the time which they thought
their stock not insured at all, they
will bave trouble, especially If they
have any property to be levied on,
The amount for which the farmers
are caught varies from $20 to $0
Most of them are highly indigngnt
but can see no way out of the difficul-
ty but to pay the premiums.

The reservoir was emptied last
week, the sides washed off and bottom
cleaned of leaves. The sides were also
painted with a solution calculated to
fill the pores in the cement,
When the reservoir was built, iron
posts were set in the coping on which
to fasten wire netting. The petting
was pot put on until last week, when
it was done by B. H. Arney, Daniel

did the general cleaning up at the

It may be safely said that Centre
Hall has the purest water that can be
had. The springs are high on the
mountain, and the water is led from
them in pipes to the reservoir. No
surface water finds its way ioto the

Mr. Arney, who looks after the

Armanian Tells of Turkish Outrages,
Rev. M. D., Ezekiel, of Cyprus, an
Armenian by birth, filled the Luther-
an pulpit in Bpriog Mills, Centre
Hall, and Tusseyville, Buoday. He
is a regularly ordained Lutheran
minister, and is a member of the Gen-
eral Synod church, His mission in
the states ls to collect funds to build
and maiptain a large orphanage in
Cyprus, which is Eopglish territory,
which ipstitution is to care for or-
phans of Armenians, who sacrificed
their lives for religious principles, the
Turks being the marderers,
The speaker first gave a brief history
of the Armenians, who as early as 70
accepted curistianity as their religion,
and for fourteen centuries were an in-
dependent and prosperous nation with
religious freedom,
Beveral hundred years ago the
Turks became the rulers of Armenian
territory and since the sword is the
argument to induce the christian to
sceept the beliefs of Mohammed,
Liveral contributions were made by
each of the congregations toward the
work Rev. Ezekiel represented.

It Saves You Money,
The special half price sale of Dr.
Howard's specific for the cure of cone
stipation and dyspepsia by Murray
and Bitner means the saving of a few
dollars on every family's yearly bill
for medicines,
Murray and Bitner have so much
fatth in the superior merit of this
medicine that they say: “If Dr.
Howard's specific does not cure you,
come back to our store and we will
return your money,"
This remedy is not ordinary medi
cine. It isthe favorite formula of a
well known physician, and has the
endorsement of hundreds of physicians
of eminence in their profession, who
prescribe it in all oases of constipation,

From Orangeville, Illinois, Samuel

Gap, writes the Reporter thus, under
the date of April 25th : ** I am recelv-
ing the Reporter regularly, and I very
much appreciate it since it is devoted
to the local news of Centre county,
We bad fine westher here during
March, * By the tenth of April the
trees were covered with leaves, and
fruit trees were in full bloom. We
finished sowing oats by the first of
April, and now it is from two to three
inches long. Bome corn was planted
more than two weeks ago.
Friday April 23d, we had rain,
which later turned to snow. Batur-
day morning the ground was frozen,
and snow continued to fall during
that day and Bunday. There were
drifts as much as three feet deep
The leaves on the trees and blossoms
froze, and the oats froze half way to
the ground. The weather Is warmer
now, but felt boots and fur coats were
very much in evidence this forenoon.
I like this section of Illinois and
its people very much, and | believe
ita good place for young men who
want to work on the farm.”
