SILVERTON, Not. 25 "Oleo
margerine was originally a prod
uct of war, and you know what
Sherman said war was," , J. D.
Mickle, food and dairy commis
sioner, prefaced his talk at Sll-
erton Tuesday night with this re
mark.
Mr. Mickle went on to give a
little of . the history of oleomar
Genuine "Heckolite' or
"Parfalt" plates now
f 18.50, and many other
specials not mentioned here
of undersell competition.
Dr.F.C J0NE5,Den"ist
Over Irfuld-Bnsh Bank
serine: "It was first used Be
cause of a butter snortage in
long ago French war. In the early
days it was a product of th
slaughterhouse, a combination of
the tats accumulated there. Later
a cheaper product was found in
the shape of copra and this was
shipped in. Now there are 326 mil
lion pounds of oleomargerme sold
annually in the United States.
Only 16 million of these is from
the old-time slaughterhouse prod
uct. The other is all from vege
table oil. Most of this is shipped
from the Philippine Islands, an
insular possession of ours, and so
it even comes In without any
duty.
"Four and a half million
pounds of oleomargerine are made
In Oregon and three and a half
million brought in. Oregon sells
a share of this but she uses about
six million pounds herself annu
ally. In the United States the ol
eomargerine displaces approxi
mately 1,240,000 dairy cows and
20.000 in Oregon. Farmers have
figured that they pay a tax of
124 cents on every pound of but-
terfat they sell so we are depriv
ing ourselves of considerable tax.
When the oleomargerine is sold
uncolored it is covered by only a
fourth of a cent tax. The profit
from oleomargerine goes to only
a few individuals."
From the industrial Bide of the
matter Mr. Mickle touched brief
ly on the legislative side: "Can
ada won't allow it sold in its
country." he said, "practically,
all civilized countries have legis
lated against it in some measure
or other. But here our courts tell
us it is unconstlutional. we can
not refuse the sale of it."
Mr. Mickle then spoke on the
possibilities of taxing it, pointing
out incidents where this had been
done satisfactorily.
The third angle from which Mr.
Mickle approached his subject
was that of the greatest impor
tance the angle of health.
"Oleomargerine contains so lit
tle of the necessary vitamlnes
thai this little is almost negligi
ble," be. said. "If you pile oleo
margerine as high as Mount
Hood or Mount Shasta and feed
it to your child that child will
not grow an inch unless vitamin A
is supplied from elsewhere. If the
cow is done away with, B0 per
cent of our babies would die. In
food value there is no difference
between oleo and butter. And . It
is on this point the oleo people
advertise. The difference lies In
the diatory value. Certain foods
chemically have the same value
hut they do not have the same
effect in the diet."
Mr. Mickle cited many instan
ces to prove his point. He read
reports from various bulletins,
among them a report given by Dr.
Bock of Denmark at a national
dairy council. It was found that
when the whole milk was taken
away from children and only skim
milk substituted that 200 children
in Danish institutions went blind
because of the lack of vitamin A.
Butter, according to Mr. Mickle,
is the only edible food which con
tains vitamin A in sufficient
quantities to be of benefit.
Frank Bower, who was chair
man of the evening's program
which was held at the Knights of
Pythias hall, explained in the
opening that the meeting was no
organized affair but simply a get
together of those interested in
dairying and the welfare of the

hey Boys fer lands sake whats all that noise down there in the Grocery Department
sounds like the Bottom droped Outa suinthin well just comere and see whats hapened
look at all these Items stocked around here. Yeah we see car loads of stuff displayed
hut whats that got to do with that unearthly noise we heard just now
i
Well when any thing Comes down with a crash theres bound to be a noise and if we
dont miss our guess that noise is gona be heard for miles around. No doubt about it Boys
But what in Sam hill was it, some one speak up, this suspense is gettin on our nerves.
Well you've been tellin everybody what this store's been doin for everybody and how
prices were gone come down when sales went up, now acordin to the sales report this
Store is doin moren double the sales of last year -and we got together and desided that
as times are kida tough on some folks it would be a good time to show our appreciation
by given the people an oportunity to buy stuff at a low price and make em thankful or
somethm
So thats what we heard was it? Sure thats what it was the Bottom fell outa the prices on
all these Items you see around here. Better put en in our ad hadn we? You might put
some of in but you cant put em all in if you did there wouldn be room left in the paper for
em to tell the folks that the sun s1 yesterday and maybe it will again today if it
dont clout up or somethin. Oh" you mean the weather report. Yeah thats it where they
tell how the river goes up or down like the chain store specials do. tut tut now they dont
call em specials any more they give em one a those New York highfalutin names they
call em Features now. here's & few of the prices that fell so hard they made a racket
louder'n our delivery cars make when the Boys gets em loaded and step on the thinga
magig that makes em hurry up and get there.
