temperance legislation instead will
take the shape of bill intended to
gather the fruits of the Webb Ken
yon bill against interstate shipments
Of liquor recently passed by Con-

session is problematical, as there has
been so far no particular agitation of
the matter.
Representative George F. Paulk, of
Berrien, will introduce in the House

Representative Crawford Wheat
leys dinner to the House Appropria-
tons Committee Wednesday evening
at the Capital City Club had much
more behind it than the mere matter
of a compliment to his committee,

takes that stand, II may be accepted
as a further fact that the entire
