A suggestion was made by J. D..
Henderson at the last meeting of the
= Green Lake Temperance League that
may be OF interest to other temperance
workers in the county. It was that
the temperance people in each town
form an organization to promote their
cause in their locality. Then let these
be branches OF county organization
that would have meetings now and then
and be made up Of representatives
: from the smaller societies. In this
way ways and means could be dis
cussed to get the best results from the
. work, The duty of every citizen was
also pointed out in regard to the work
that would follow should the pending
county option bill pass. We hope
( the Legislature will not zdisappoint us
Il In this, and if they do their duty we
shall not neglect ours.
