Upton Sinclair, commenting in Bal

"In no other place the world over
are such fortunes to be found, ono
reason is that our laws regulating

mems being shown. There was nice
display Of Langshans and Anconas, but
the classes that seemed to attract the
greatest attention were the Wyandottes
and Leghorns, where the competition
was very keen and the winnings well
worth while.
The principal lesson in the poultry
show is one of stimulation. A well
conducted poultry show makes us all
want to take better care of our birds,
keep the houses cleaner and in better
condition, pay little more attention to
feeding variety of feed so that our
stock Keeps healthy and looks well.
Local poultry shows are very helpful
and stimulating to live interest in the
business, but when the winners at these
sectional exhibitions are sent to state
wide meet, there are some advantages
secured that come from the larger
competition only. This is one of the
reasons why a state show should be
supported. Views more broad and criti-
cism more exacting than when our own
birds are considered by ourselves, will
be result. Such result will be in
valuable to breeders.

State Poultry Association Show.

The poultry industry of Wisconsin is
constantly developing and more and
more attention is being given to the
raising of breed for production of fowls
not only upon the farms of the state,
but by the village and city dwellers as
well. The tenth annual poultry show
of the Wisconsin Poultry Association,
held at Madison, was successful in
every way. Fully 1900 birds were ex-
hibited by 176 breeders. The breeds
most popular with the farmers of the
state were most in evidence.
Poultrymen Of Wisconsin support the
annual state show very Loyalty. and
Secretary Halpin is confident that the
association has bright future and viii

bers for their interest, he also insists
that this cooperation and support be
continued A hard worker himself, he
wants all to fan in line.
The show this year was especially
noted for its large number of highclass
farm poultry, The Wyandottes and
Leghorns being especially represented
Plymouth Rocks were of about the
same quality as usual, but fewer in
numbers. The Rhode Island Reds were
well represented and showed good quail

COMMUNICATED
Senator chssley's
Compromise Bill

Dear Editor, St. Mary's Beacon:
The public is now aware of what has
taken place at Annapolis, up to date,
In regard TO liquor legislation for our
county. All three of our representa-
tives had assured their constituents
they would give the people of St.
Msry's an early opportunity to vote
on the question by means of u local
option bill. Mr. Wilkinson changed
his mind, offered high license sub
stitute, and with the aid of his Demo
cratic friends in the House he sue
ceeded in defeating Mr.. Jones local
option measure by the close vote of
Is to -.
Now Mr.. Chesley in the Senate,
wishing to fulfil his duty and
his promise TO the people of ST.
Mary's county, offered a CoMPRo-
MISE bill by which both high license
Snd local option will be put before the
voters at special election Tuesday,
Aug. Z, 1914, the majority to decide
what shall be the law.
After its passage by the Senate this
bill will go TO the House. VIII Mr..
Wilkinson give il his supports There
Is no reason why he should not. For
in abandoning his ante-eleciion posi-
ton in order to serve those Democrats
and liquor interests to which he ut
tributes his success The declares he
was opposed by the temperance people
u must be presumed that the hiaeh
license measure which he offered in
place OF Mr.. Jones bill was AT leas,
acceptable TO his friends and political
hackers.
By voting for Mr.. Chesley,s double
measure he viii do these friends NO
wrong and he will wright in som,
measure the wrong done To his locai
option constituents by allowing ll.en
nov \ chance to vote on their SIDF az
the question.
We do not agree with a writer in
the Enterprise who called the Hipl
License Election in 1912 a farce. Tnf
600 and more friends of the county who
voted for that measure did not fhinL
50 but they believed that il would have
been farcical at that time to attemut
any prohibitory legislation in the fac
OF road bill and dig bond issue thai
was 20 be made dependent on the rev,
enue from liquor license.
Yours truly,
