'me law uocs Not prohibit tne manufacture una sale of oivO iu the state, as some newspapers have slued, but it does prohibit the manufac'tureftot c,io from uaus mint in tueir substitutes. Approximately two million pounds of butter substitutes are sour iu Ore gon annually, it would add ten thous and dairy cows to the larius if the Counterfeit butter was replaced With real butttr, and with them would 101 iow tlie atided buioiiess to ail iudus trios directly and indirectly depen dent. Last year 226,453,905 pounds of margarine were manutuctured in this country. These figures are of grave importance to dairying. Iiauy of the states are agitating similar Oregon laws to prohibiioh.o from being made from dairy products, several have ouch las The farmers of Oregon limply ask that fraud aud eounterniing of butler be stopped. The legislature has so ordered, out the middlemen, who make good profits shipping m these millions of pounds of substitutes, have invoked the referendum on the law and are making strenuous efforts to have it defeated at the coming election. Practically all of the ol o sold in Oregon is shipped from other states. A dispute over wages and hours be tween the distributors of St. i'aul and their delivery hands resulted in a strike by t!ie men and the organi zation of a distributing company of their own. Now they handle about one-third of all the milk distributed in St. Paul and have built their own plant at a cost oi over a million doi ars, which is nearly all paid for. Producers are fast learning the val ue of shipping-point inspection and the certificate that goes with it. It 13 a truth-in-iubrlc guarantee, under which i he' pdoducer gets paid for the quality in the container, and the con sumer gets an honest pack. Grading and inspection have roue to stay. The producer knows how he has been many times hooked on a declining market the purchaser declining to r tvive the shipiuenton the excuse that it was not up to standard. An Official certificate at place of shipment puts an effectual stop to this practice. 4' J t I .

STEAt FORD WHEEL Last Wednesday night three young I chaps passing thru were in sore re?d of a new Wieel for their jitney, ro they scouted around the town and found the easlctajid cheapest way to git it was to "lift" it off "Dad" Blayden's Ford. Next, morning his Eizzle sat out in its usual parking place on three wheels and the three hoys were missing. Mr. Blayd" n bonght a new wheel. Most Boardman people are honest. It is usually out siders who do such things. Last Thursday Wilhur John-nu dronped his purse in front of the Boardman Trading Co. It contained $140. He went home, worked en his car awhile and went to the gar: ge for soma minor repairs. But When he .-tatted to pay for them he missed his puine. He went back and found the missing article in the street where he had dropped It. Moral: Men don't carry pliers In your hip pocket; they A pinch in time paver many a forest-put out that cigarette.
