COMPROMISE BILL REJECTED
Assembly Refuses to Permit introduce
ton of Carpenter War Prohi
bition Measure.

MadisOn-G Philips recommen-
dation that the legislature enact a law
to prohibit the sale of liquor, but per-
nit the sale of beer and light wines
during the war, was turned down IN
the assembly when the house, 45 to
AZ. declined to admit the introduction
of the Carpenter bill to carry out the
governors suggestion.
Opponents of the state administers
ton liquor bill succeeded in preventing
the introduction of the measure in the
senate. The committee on legislative
procedure, with two members dissent
ing, offered the bill for introduction,
and President Pro Tempore Burke,
who was in the chair, announced that
it was received.
A few minutes later Senator Han
son entered the chamber, and learning
that the bill had been received,
charged that the committee on legisla-
tive procedure had broken faith with
him because he had been told by mem
bers of it that the bill would not be
offered until later And besides it was
a bill that had been, given to the COM
mittee on state affairs for considera-
ton and should by all the rules of the
senate be considered as still being in
the possession of that committee, he
said. After some discussion Burke
withdrew the bill.
Senator Bennett then tried to intro
duce a similar bill, but the senate, by
a vote of Z to IL, refused to suspend
the rules and allow him to present it
for Introduction.
The Bennett bill prohibits the sale
of hard liquor in the state after July
!, ne7lt, but permits the manufacture
of it for sale in foreign countries, and
also permits the manufacture and sale
of wines and elders containing not
more than 10 per cent of alcohol II
also provides that person who loses
his license because of violation of law
shall never be granted new one.
Bennett said that he would later at.
tempt to get permission to introduce
the bill The state administration bill
will also be offered later.

Madison = The county board has
hired Thomas M. Olson, formerly
county agent in Butler county, Mis-
souri,, to serve ST. Croix county in
the capacity of permanent resident
food agent. The new appointee is
the twenty-third regular county agri-

ment. All but three of the men are

work with county defense councils

FARM LABOR is DISCUSSED
Keen Competition for Men Between
Wisconsin Industries Shown at
Meeting of Food Agents.

acknowledging the right balance
between supply and demand OF labor
for Wisconsin farmers in the coming
rush of food crop harvests was the
overshadowing topic of the first gen.
eraI conference of county emergency
food agents just held here.
1T was plainly brought out at the
meeting, that in at least three distinct
sections of Wisconsin there is at pres
ent keen competition raging be-
tween certain industries in their bid
for available men. This, it is thought,
might tend to reduct the supply of
help which can be furnished to the
farmer during the busy midsummer
season.
The mines of the southwestern coun-
ties, the factories of Milwaukee, and
the big special demand for a large
group of laborers and mechanics to
work on the military camp at Sparta,
seemed to present the biggest prob
lens to the farm recruiting officers.
The recommendation of the labor
committee, consisting strictly of active
these points: That all agencies en-
gagged in soliciting farm labor should
be familiar with farming conditions;
that all demands for labor should first
come from the farmer themselves,
thus regulating the supply by the ac-
tual demand; that the agencies should
aim to cooperate with the regularly
organized county forces empowered by
the state Council of Defense to carry
on local work.

How Columbus Was MisIed.

Every schoolboy knows that when
Columbus discovered the island of
Cuba and the rest of the western
world that he did not know he had
discovered a new world, but thought
he had circumnavigated the globe and
had found new way to cross the
ocean to Asia. 1t is curious fact
that the Indians of the island of Cuba
unconsciously confirmed this belief. He
asked them the name of one of the
villages, and they said "Cubanaca,"
and Columbus thought that they were
saying, 'Kublaikahan," the name of
the Tartar village mentioned by Marco
Polo, whose record Columbus had
read.

hall was quite we'll attended and
resulted in an organization being
perfected that promises to carry
the work on in good shape and
enlist the best efforts of practic-
ally every citizen in this commu-
nifty. After the band had render
ed several selections in front of
the hall the meeting was called
to order by Rev. Grant and the
school children sang a couple of
patriotic songs, following which
short talks were made by Rev.
Grant, Lieutenant Governor Par
ker, Prof. Barackman and the
writer. The purpose of the Red
Cross work was explained and
attention called to the Importance
of getting organized early so as
to become familiar with the work
before it may become necessary
to call for united effort along this
line. Red Cross boxes made by
the manual training class of the
local high school were shown and
"ill be placed in every store in
town where those who desire may
drop money to be used in pur-
chasing supplies for the work.

and the following officers were
nominated and elected without
opposition: President, Mrs. G.

the outset.

Increased Production Club
Held Good Meeting

The meeting held Wednesday
afternoon for the purpose Of or
ganizing an auxiliary of the Idaho
County Increased Production as
sociation at this place was quite
well attended, considering the
weather, and the subject in hand
was considered at some length.
The meeting organized by select
ing J. V. Nash as chairman and
w. W. Flint as secretary-treas-
urer and this organization was
later made permanent. An ex-
ecutive committee of five mem
bers was appointed as follows:
Edward Blake, M. A. Pierce, F.
S. Winner, E. G. Fry and Riley
Rice. The chair appointed M.
M. Belknap, Geo. M. Robertson
and w. B. Hussman on the finance
committee and said any funds
they might acquire would be
gratefully received.
The matter of planting a larger
acreage than ever before was
discussed from all angles and
those present expressed the SEN
timent that shortage of labor and
the lateness of the season were
the principal obstacles to over
come. Wages and the possibility
of the government establishing a
maximum price for the coming
crop were discussed but it was
the concensus of opinion that the
farmer need not fear leaving this
matter safely in the hands of the
government and go ahead with
the work of producing everything
possible in the food line.
Owing to the present shortage
of labor and the apparent hope
lessness of importing satisfactory
wages, it was the sense Of the
meeting that a resolution be for
warded through Lieutenant Gov
ernor Parker to the state boarC
of education and the state com
mittee on defense asking thai
students in the high schools anC
seventh and eighth grades of the
common schools of the state bt
released from school at the earli
est possible moment in order Il
assist their parents in the plant
ing of crops and that their schoo
credits be given them the same
as if the school term had beer
completed.

to establish a local employmen
