MASS MEETINGS To Be HELD
FOR COUNTY UNIT BIZ

general mass meeting has been
called for Sunday evening at the Chris
tian Church to take action in support
Of the Moorehouse bill now pending III
The legislature to make the county the
unit in local option. and it is expected
that at Imperial and other towns of the
county similar meetings Will be held.
The support of the Anti-SaloOn
League is behind the bill and the min
iSterial meeting of Los Angeles decided
that at every evangelical church in that
city Sunday morning petitions for the
passage of the bill will be circulated
1t is also expected that churches
generally throughout the state will act
in the same way.
This measure originated with the
Republican county central committee
OF Imperial county, which inserted in
it's platform resolution to this effect.
and in accordance with that plank and
his own will Mr.. MoOrehouse presented
the bill in the assembly, while Senator
Anderson OF this district presented it to
the senate.
The bill is designed 70 correct the
conditions which exist in this county
whereby one town can vote in saloons
against the will of the county at large,
thus establishing center of disturb
ance for the entire county.
The time is short to secure the pas
sage of this bill. hut there is hope that
the present legislature will enact it into
law. This can only be accomplished
however, by prompt action being taken.

sion of the department of agriculture

the department who were in Grand

The two have made a number of
trips to different points in the state
looking. over dairying activities. and
are highly pleased with progress
that is being made.
There is no reason. according to the
two officials, why North Dakota should
not be rs great a dairying state as
Wisconsin. The climates and soils of
the two states are largely similar.
The eastern and central >portione
of this state are especially we'll suited
for the dairy business. and a number
of the farmers are taking 1t up.
