MAY VOTE ON DRY
ISSUE IN SPRING
IF REFERENDUM is SUBMITTED
POLL DATE MAY BE CHANGED
FROM NOV. no APRIL 1918.
WOULD PREVENT CONFUSION
Political Leaders Want Question De-
cided at Time When 1t Will Not
Get State Candidates Mixed
Up Over Issue.

Madison-It now seems probable
that if the referendum bill on the
liquor question is to be submitted to a
vote of the people to the date at which
the vote is to be taken will be changed
from November, 1918, to April, 1918.
This change in the situation has
been brought about by general agree
ment among all Of the political leaders
that if the measure is to pass it should
be submitted at time when it will not
get all state and legislative candidates
mixed up over the issue. 1t is claimed
here that were the issue to be pre-
sented in ovember, 1918, there would
be candidate for governor on the wet
issue and one on the dry side and that
the same would be true in every senate
and assembly district.
Moreover, there seems to be SEN
timent among the people who are back
Of the woman's suffrage campaign that
they would prefer to have their ques-
ton submitted at time when there
were not other extraneOus issues pre-
sented They fear that were woman's
suffrage and wet and dry issues pre-
scented at the same time one would
probably suffer from lack of attention.
The women prefer to have the suffrage
question offered in November.

PLAN LAND CLEARING MEET
Forward, Rather Than Back to the
Farm, Will Be Slogan of
Assembly.

Madison-"Forward to the farm, y
instead of back to the farm" will be
the slogan of a general land clearing
assembly, to be held at Eau Claire
Feb. 1924
Gov. Philip, who has taken a great
interest in the movement, will address
the assembly on the subject, can EN-
pire in the Making" 1t is because of
the great success that attended the
demonstrations of the college Of agri-
cultures land clearing expedition to
northern Wisconsin last year that the
conference has been called. A new
interest has been awakened in the
farmers of the state through the new
and more scientific methods of clear
ing land in the state and preparing it
for farming.
The conference will study the state
and the opportunities for stump clear
ing. Two phases of the problem will
be taken up-the engineering side and
the economic or community aspect OF
cut-over land development. Several
thousand feet of film, taken from Wis
consin's stump land battle front, and
showing Badger farms in the making,
will be shown at the conference.

THREE FARMERS H0N0RED
Given to Deserving Agriculture
Men of the State.

Madison-Before a large body of
Wisconsin farmers and their families,
at a meeting here due recognition was
paid to three deserving Wisconsin men
who have rendered invaluable service
to the agriculture of their state.
Certificates of honorary recognition
were presented to J. Q. Emery, Ed
gerton, former state dairy and food
commissioner, Joseph Gordon, Mineral
Point, live stock breeder of wide repu-
tation, and Henry Krumrey, Plymouth,
founder of the Sheboygan Cheese Pro-
ducers federation.
This public recognition of the unset
fish work of pioneer farmers, stock
men. and specialists in agriculture,
originally adopted by the Wisconsin
Agricultural college in 1909, has met
with instant and universal favor, sew
eral other states having since adopted
the plan. Since 1909 agricultural hon
ors have been conferred upon twenty
four men and women by Wisconsin,
seven of whom were residents of other
states.

Backache

In spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any part Of the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, govt.
"The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state Of health"
says DR.; Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y rs to

amount of Anuric, which is dispensed by
almost every druggist" Anuric is mex
pensive and should be taken before meals.
You will find Anuric more potent than

HAS ANTI-CIGARETTE ELL
AssembIyman Grell Introduces Meas
ure to Prohibit Sale of "Coffin
Nails" in the State.

Madison-That a determined fight
will be made to place the anti-cigarette
law back on the statute books is indi-
Gated by the statement of Assembly
man H. J. Grell of Johnson Greek who
says that he feels sorry over the fact
that he voted for repeal of the law
two years ago. Assemblyman Grell
bases his change of mind on the fact
that while the law might have been
violated before, there are many little
boys now smoking cigarettes that
never dared to when the prohibitive
statute was in effect.
The Grell bill provides that any per-
son who shall directly or indirectly or
upon any pretense offer for sale, give
away or bring into the state for the
purpose of sale cigarettes shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanOr. The
bill likewise prohibits the offering of
cigarette papers for sale.
For the first offense g fine of not less
than SIS nor more than $50, or by i'm
prisonment in the county jail not ex-
ceeding thirty days may be imposed;
for subsequent offenses fine of from
800 to $500 may be imposed. The
measure specifically provides that it's
provisions shall not apply to the sales
of jObbers or manufacturers doing in
terstate business with customers out
side of this state.

HOLDS jITNEY LAW VALID
Statute Is Constitutional Judge BeIden
Decides in Denying Demurrer
of Drivers.

Kenosha-The long expected deci-
sion on the validity of the Wisconsin
law on the regulation of jitneys was
handed down by Judge Belden in the
circuit court here. The decision holds
that the regulation of the jitneys is
valid, and that in regulating the opera
ton of the cars the Wisconsin railroad
commission is not interfering with
either vested or constitutional rights
of the operators of such common car
riers. This was the first test of the
law made in Wisconsin, and three
drivers were arrested for violating
regulations. They demurred to the
complaints on the grounds that they
did not state a valid cause Of action,
and that the law on which they were
based was unconstitutional. The court
held all of the defendants to trial.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or caIius so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
Is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house-adv.
