Poultry and Livestock 
Farmers and Oleo Users 
Referring to your article about oleo 
and butter substitutes, I think many 
farmers use it because they are stingy 
and others are economical. A year ago 
I was at the State fair at Syracuse, 
where there was booth after booth giving 
away samples of oleo and butter substi¬ 
tutes, and they were all busy handing 
out samples. In most instances they 
were crowded with farmers. This year 
at a fair I saw a few booths where they 
were giving away samples of nice dairy 
butter, and no one was going up even to 
taste it. I don’t know why, unless they 
thought they would like it and would 
want to buy some. It seems funny how 
narrow-minded some people are. 
A few days ago I was talking with a 
New York man who is very wealthy and 
owns a large farm tip the State. We 
were talking about current things, and 
he was complaining about his help pay¬ 
ing 40 cents a pound for cheese, and on 
the other hand said his dairy did not 
pay; somebody has got to eat the dairy 
products, whatever they sell for, or dairy¬ 
ing will never pay. 1 know where farm¬ 
ers are using more substitutes for butter 
than the village people. Our merchant 
said he could not sell butter when the 
others were selling oleo. Now I think 
the right thing for the farmers to do is 
to boycott the merchants that refuse to 
handle their products. I think a farmer 
recover. John Rresnuhan, Chevrolet’s 
mechanician, was seriously injured. 
Twenty-three persons were injured, two 
probably fatally, Nov. 25 when a Big 
Four passenger train northbound from 
Cincinnati to Toledo and Detroit' ran 
into an open switch at West Liberty, 
()., crashing into a freight train on a 
siding. 
The Kansas anti-cigarette law will be 
tested before the Supreme Court of the 
United ^ States, attorneys announced 
Nov. 2G when the State Supreme Court 
allowed a writ of error, which permits 
an appeal to the Federal court. Immedi¬ 
ately after the Supreme Court’s decision 
upholding the law, several weeks ago, 
Miss Lucy I’age Gaston of Chicago, repre¬ 
sentative of the National Anti-Cigarette 
League, began a campaign in the State 
to have the law enforced. Loral officers 
have conducted raids, confiscating cigar¬ 
ettes and prosecuting venders in various 
parts of the State. 
Joseph A. Solovei, Assistant Corpora¬ 
tion Counsel in charge of the Brooklyn 
Branch Bureau of Street Openings, and 
a close friend of Mayor Ilylan, was ar¬ 
rested Nov. 28 charged with having bribed 
an agent of the Internal Revenue Bureau. 
It is alleged that Solovei gave Frank J. 
Seib, a special agent of the Internal 
Revenue Bureau, $500 to induce Seib 
to drop his investigation of Benjamin 
and Albert Gross. The Gross brothers 
also were arrested and held in $2,500 bail 
each for a hearing at the same time as 
Solovei. They are charged with con¬ 
spiracy to violate the Volstead Act. 
Long terms of imprisonment in Sing 
Sing were imposed by Justice Cropsey 
in the Brooklyn, N. Y., Supreme Court 
Nov. 28 on five former Brooklyn Rapid 
Transit strikers, who had pleaded guilty 
to manslaughter in the first, degree, in

who thinks he cannot use butter becuuse 
it is too expensive would better quit the 
business. j. j. H.

Regarding the recent discussion on 
farmers using oleo, I would like to ex¬ 
press my opinion on the subject. I be¬ 
lieve the whole discussion can be summed 
up in a very few words. First, make 
the oleo manufacturer and dealer obey 
the oleo laws -then forget oleo. Second, 
educate the dairy farmer to make high- 
scoring butter, put up in attractive puck- 
ages. Then boost the butter business 
with live, progressive advertising, just as 
the oleo man now boosts his business. 
You can never build up your business 
by boycotting your competitor; and you 
cannot blame anyone for buying where 
he gets the most for the dollar. Person¬ 
ally, I would never use oleo when good 
butter is obtainable, but I would rather 
eat good oleo than one-half the butter 
made by the average farmer. Again I 
say, forget oleo; make good butter, and 
advertise, advertise, advertise, and you 
will be well satisfied with the results.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC. Drillers operating under 
the direction of the provincial government 
have struck a large field of pure salt at 
Fort McMurray, it was announced at 
Edmonton, Alberta, November 26. They 
huve bored through 30 feet of the mineral 
at a depth of 50 feet, it was said. 
Gaston Chevrolet, famous racing driver, 
and Lyall Jolls. mechanician for Eddie 
O’Donnell, were killed at Los Angeles 
November 25 when Chevrolet’s and 
O’Donnell’s racing machines crashed to¬ 
gether on the speedway near the close 
of the 250 mile race. O’Donnell’s skull 
was fractured and both arms were broken 
and little hope was held that he would

man. August 31, when they stoned a Sea 
Beach subway train. Each prisoner was 
given from eight to twenty years. Four 
of the prisoners were foreign born. 
Testimony introduced Nov. 30 in the trial 
of Dr. Edward I. Rumely in the United 
States District Court, New York, showed 
that Dr. Heinrich Albert, former Ger¬ 
man fiscal agent here, advanced $750,000 
to Dr. Rumely as an initial payment on 
a loan for the purpose of acquiring stock 
of the Dveiling \lail. This testimony 
was obtained from Dr. Albert in Germany 
in August*, 1910. by Harold Harper, 
United States Attorney. The money, 
which Dr. Albert said was taken from 
bis own funds from various sources, was 
paid to Dr. Rumely following authoriza¬ 
tion by Dr. Bernard Dernburg, who in¬ 
formed him that the money was advanced 
by Hermann Sielckeu, American coffee 
merchant residing in Germany. 
In broad daylight <m a crowded Brook¬ 
lyn, N. Y., street Nov. 30 four armed 
highwaymen held up and robbed two 
messengers of Liberty bonds amounting 
to $466,000, of which more than $400,000 
were negotiable. After firing several 
shots to cover their escape the robbers 
jumped into an automobile and disap¬ 
peared. This is the largest holdup that 
has occurred iu New York in years. 
Renewed violence was reported from 
several points in the Mingo County, W. 
Va , coal strike zone Nov. 30 to military 
authorities and to the officers of the 
coal operators’ association. The strike 
in the Williamson field began in May in 
an attempt of the United Miue Workers 
to unionize the men. Eighteen hundred 
of 6,000 miners walked out. Virtually 
all the mines closed because of terrorist 
tactics of a group of strikers. Violence, 
assassination and guerrilla warfare be¬ 
tween mine feudists on one hand and 
mine guards and militiamen on the other 
followed. In five months 37 men were 
killed and 600 wounded. Nineteen iu- 
dictments for murder in the strike region 
have been banded down in Mingo County. 
In five months of the strike the estimated 
loss in production from Mingo County 
mines was 5.000.000 tons. Loss iu wages 
to mine workers and others engaged in 
handling and producing coal was $3,500,-
