- VETERAN OIL KING, . SL YEARS OLD, JUST AS PEPPY AS EVER Conserves His Strength by Play- ing Only Six Holes of Golf Each Day TELLS MANY FUNNY STORIES | Encourages Young Men by Tell- ing of Dismaying Instances in His Life Ormond Beach, Fla., Jan. 9.—'NEA) | —Conserving his strength by playing six holes of golf, six days a week, rath- er than the customary eight holes in the past; but at the same time ap- pearing as hale and hearty, peppy and Jolly, as ever, John D. Rockefel- ler, Sr., in his 91st year, again finds happiness this winter in spreading cheer among Ormond Beachs winter colony. He does not always give away dimes and nickles this winter, but he invari- ably’ passes out printed lines of wis- com or poetry. They are as cagerly accepted as the treasured coins. Rain or shine, cold or hot—provid- ed, of course, the rain is not in the nature of a deluge or the temperature of a bitter, biting degree—ieighbor John plays his daily round with vari- ous members of the colony. . And his game is as consistently good this winter as it has ever been. He is getting anywhere from 150 yards or better on his tee shots and his fair- way and approach shots are true and long. He continues to favor a bras- sie, whether playing midway to the green or approaching, and in_ his hands, the wood club is a potent weapon. * ok O* He came to the popular resort course on this particular morning in high spirits, interrupting his game of golf long enough to tell, to use his * own words, the funniest story he had > ever heard. He had greeted every person await- ing his arrival at the club with a “Happy New Year!” adding, “It’s nice of you to greet an old, infirm golfer.” Still joking about his age, he illus- trated the latter remark by limping on half-bended knee in a semi-circle in typical Rockefeller mood. “Do you want to hear a funny story?” he asked. “All right, but you must come in close,” he said, after hearing the en- thusiastic assents of every one. “A young man went scuth to enter business.” began the aged philan- thropist. “He was selling looking glasses. “Very few people in the locality ~ which he had chosen to begin his SYNOPSIS: Frank Thornton.” Butt he's with Pearl on the Queen of the Skies.

BUTTER PRODUCERS PREPARE FRONT 10 FIGHT SUBSTITUTES Object to Palm Oil’s Use in Col- oring Oleomargarine Like Butter Washington, Jan. Jan, 9—(?)—The 30- year battle of the butter industry to protect itself from the competition of more cheaply manufactured substi- tutes has broken into the open again, In the office of David Burnet, com- missioner of internal revenue, farm leaders will present arguments Sat- . urday that the bureau’s ruling which permits use of palm oil in oleomar- garine be rescinded. The oil imparts the natural color of butter but under the bureau's definition of “artificial coloration” escapes the federal tax on colored oleomargarine, The effect, it is claimed, virtually has been to nullify all protective leg- islation for the butter produced. Un-+ less the ruling is changed, representa- tives of the industry say this effect will necessitate enactment of a new law to replace the oleomargarine act of 1902. Since the ruling was made, they contend, the price of butter has. been depressed seven cents @ pound. They say the loss has been passed on in reduced cream checks for every dairy farmer, taking toll from the na- tion's biggest farm business. Made with palm oil, oleomargarine can be taxed under the bureau's rul- ing only one-fourth cent a pound in- stead of the 10 cents a pound tax provided: for artificially colored but- ter substitutes. - Efforts to keep the price of oleo- margarine more nearly in line with the price of butter were initiated in the law of 1886 which required @ tax of 2 cents a pound. It permitted oleomargarine to be colored yellow. In 1902, congress amended the law, increasing the tax on artificlally col- ored oleomargarine to 10 cents a pound and placing a tax of one-fourth cent ® pound on uncolored. Then a new process for refining palm oil was developed, a natural in- gredient defeating entirely the pur- Pose of the oleomargarine law, it was claimed. Thus, with all the old competition reinstated, butter producers started the investigation of the law which led to the hearing before Commissioner Burnet. Shipments of oleomargarine and butter substitutes in this country in 1929 represented an increase of 5.6 per cent in quantity compared with the year before, with a value of more than $50,000,000. As farm leaders see the situation, only the production of oleomargarine has beaten prices down. Storage stocks of butter are less than a year ago, consumption has increased, and the output is barely, normal. St. John Man Elected -Fox Group President Devils Lake, N. D., Jan, 9—(P)—M. B.
