Farmers who are interested in the case because of milk sales, and butter makers are in­ terested because the discouragement of oleo manufacture means increased sales of genuine butter, have watched the progress of the case with great interest. Cliff defended himself on the grounds that he had used palm oil, a vegetable compound, thus producing a natural instead of an artificial coloration. Farm­ ers and butter makers have combined to carry the case against him to the su preme court for a decision. Dispatches received from Washing ton indicate that Cliff's contention was not maintained. The court decision as follows: "Congress included not only those substances which, entering into the substance of oleomargarine, make it suitable for food, and, so to speak, form the body, but also others used for color­ ing. The fact that one of the ingredi­ ents of this compound is palm oil does not show that such oil did anything else but to color the product composed of other ingredients, and if it did substan- stantially only this it is rightfully styled an artificial coloration. Bearing in mind that one of the .purposes of legisla­ tion was to prevent the sale of oleomar­ garine, and Ac for butter, it must be held that when any substance, although named as a possible ingredient of oleo margarine, substantially serves Only the function of coloring the mass so as to cause the product to 'look like butter of any shade of yellow' it is an artificial coloratien." The history of the oase shows that when congress passed a bill nearly two years ago, providing that oleomargarine producers should use no artificial color­ ing matter to give their prod act the ap­ pearance of butter, manufacturers of the substitute immediately cast about them for a means by whioh to evade the law. After chemical tests had been made and many of the most prominent chemists in the country had been em ployed to find a substance of purely veg­ etable derivation which should bring the desired results, palm oil was adopt­ ed. Since that time this ingredient has been used extensively. "With palm oil barred there will be no possibility of putting anything bat the natural or white oleomargarine on the market unless'it pays the extra tax of 10 cents a pound," declares John Dade, secretary of the William J. Mox ley company, of Chicago. "To sell the stuff with that added tax would be un profitable, and to sell it in its natural state would be almost impossible. Oth­ er cases pending bring up the matter in a different manner. If we are not suc­ cessful in the new contention that palm oil is 'natural,' I believe that the business practically will be ruined." "I expect to see the dairy bnsin increase 100 per cent, as a result of this ruling," says Herbert Emerson, of Em­ erson & Marlow, butter commission merchants in Chicago. "The , farmer W. Hart, Rev.

Quite a number of Ringwood people went to Chicago to see Grant and at­ tend the Fat Stock show. They all re­ port a grand time and a great show.

The city hall was again packed to its utmost capacity at the basket ball game last Friday evening between the would- be county champions of Harvard and our boys. It is true that Harvard has a basketball team, but if the game last Friday evening has anything to do with it, they are far from the championship, as our boys not only defeated them, but outclassed them in every respect One week ago the local team went t^ Harvard and were defeated by the one­ sided score of 53 to 11. But there is an excuse for this, of which we made men­ tion last week- Since then we have learned even more in regard to that game, and the way the boys were treat­ ed was a shame. When the team reached Harvard on this occasion they were at once escorted to a hotel and were not permitted to enter the opera house where the game was to be held until just a few minutes before the game was called, answered: "That's their way when they are defeated. I am perfectly satis­ fied." We think all who saw the game were satisfied, for there wasn't the slight­ est reason for dissatisfaction on the part of anyone. The Harvard boys were di­ rected to one of McHenry's best hotels for the night and were treated like gen­ tlemen. The McHenry rooters cheered the good plays made during the game whether made by our boys or the Har­ vard team. The following was the line-up of the two teams: McHenry--Larsen, center; Evanson and Wheeler, forwards; Thom­ as and Sayler guards.. Harvard--Clark, center;* Megran and Strain, forwards; Webster and Diggins, guards. Referee, Prof. Jones, of Harvard. Umpire, C D. Ross. Scorekeeper, Prof. E. C,. Fish er. Timekeeper, J. R.

There have been so many fatalities in the northern woods that they are agi­ tating the question of passing a law in Wisconsin, allowing only shot guns in hunting. The Racine News says: "If the next legislature of Wisconsin will but pass a law prohibiting the use of rifles in the killing of deer and allow only the use of shot guns by hunters who are seeking game, hundreds of lives will be saved and hundreds of people will not be OFFICIAL VOTE OF McHENRY COUNTY, 1904-.

The half hour summarized bulletin, being a syn­ opsis of the news in that period, was transmitted to all party line subscribers. The news came to the general offices of the Chicago Telephone company by long distance wires from various parts of the country and from other local sources. At each exchange special apparatus had been provided whereby one reader oper­ ated ten transmitters at one time, and these in turn were transmitted to twen­ ty people, so that 200 listeners were served with one reading q! the bulletin. In Chicago bulletins were given in re­ sponse to 50,000 inquirers. What was accomplished there was also trne of the surrounding country and. about 15,000 subscribers outside of Chicago, 5,000 of whom were at home in their otvn farm houses, received the news almost as quickly as the subscribers in Chica­ go.

Stoves pairs, pri - yJ; i- ardware, stove re­ man Bros.' thus giving the boys no chance to be- oome acquainted with the field and bas­ kets. Besides this, the boys were shown no courtesy whatever, being treated in a most insolent manner. We venture to say here that under conditions simi­ lar to these the best team in the world would not stand much of any sho^ at winning, or even make a creditable showing. The McHenry boys, with blood in their eyes, went into the game last Fri­ day evening to win, just to show the Har­ vard lads that they also could do fast work, even if they did wear "football suits," and it was evident from the start that Harvard was up against the real thing. After the first few minutes of play McHenry made her first goal, and during the balance of the game, the ball, with few exceptions did not leave McHenry territory. Seeing that defeat was a certainty,, the Harvard boys be­ gan, with only a few minutes of play left, to play football, and were again re­ minded by our boys that if they persist­ ed in playing rough our boys conld be there with the goods, and the way some of our midgets handled the Harvard giants was laughable. Even the mighty Diggins could do nothing to stop Mc­ Henry's powerful attack. The game ended with the score standing 31 to 15, in McHenry's favor. As soon as time was called the Harvard boys began to kick, about what we do not know, and there is every reason to doubt if they themselves knew. According to a state­ ment made by Prof. Jones/of the Har­ vard high school, the offi/ial referee of the game they had no reason whatever to kick. When asked qjr Prof. Fisher why his team was kicking, Prof. Jones maimed for life. With the deer season but just opened the list of fatalities is greater than in any other year. Five fatalities are already chargeable to deer hunting and hunters for duck, partridg­ es and rabbits have taken eight lives, making a total of thirteen. Six persons have been injured, some of them serious­ ly. The record of casualities due to deer hunters in 1608 was 14 killed and 21 wounded. In 1902 the number of killed was ten and bixteen injured, and in 1901 seventeen were killed and thirty- two injured. The total number of per­ sons killed and wounded so far this yen- is nineteen. "Ji hunters were allowed to use shot guns, loaded with buck shot, there wo nld be no great danger of fatalities The bunters now use rifles which kill at nearly a mile. Shot guns loaded with- buck shot will kill at nearly one hua dred yards and hunters believe that the sport would be safer and more enjoyable with the use of shot guns instead of riflee." 1 "Pleasure Club Meets.

The club was found to be in a flourishing condition financially, all debts, with the exception of a few months' rent, being paid up in fnll.
