Business is booming at the Mitchell 4
Lewis Company wagon factory at Ra-
cine, which is one of the largest in the
United States. One hundred farm wag-
one are being turned out each twelve
hours, and still the orders cannot be filled.
There appears to be no let-up, and the fact
that the orders are from the farming dis
trlctS is an indication that the revival
is felt by the farmer as well as the man
ufacturer. What is true of this enter
prise will apply with equal force to the
J. l. Case Plow Works, which is running
twelve hours day, and with more orders
than it can fill. In addition to this the
lumber dealers have noticed a stimulus
to their trade.
Prema ture lovemaking is to be discour-
aged in the village of Sun Prairie. By
curfew ordinance passed by the village
board no person under 16 years of age
may go upon the streets after o'clock
between Oct. 1 and May 1, unless attend
ed by grown company. From May 1 to
Oct l an extra hour will be given. The
village marshal will toll the village bell
at these hours to give warning and arrest
all who violate the ordinance. This is
intended primarily to discourage young
people from too frequent association. The
village is a popular rendezvous for the
younger element of the neighborhood. The
measure is causing much discussion in the
press of the county and is strongly de-
nounced as un-American and ineffective
and as being prompted by few ultra-re-
ligionists of the town.

Mr.. Doolittle as United States Senator
