Prohibition an Issue.

Booze will Esprit" butter, butter will
spread and cheese will insert its odor
in the coming state political campaign
if indications today bear out.
There is demand that each of these
become involved in the platforms of
candidates.
When Gov. E. L. Philip vetoed the
dry referendum bill during the legis-
ative session at last minute squabble
the prohibition legion announced the
referendum question would become an
issue in the next election campaign
Liquor interests declare it won't and
are going to do their "durndest" to see
that it doesn't.
And now farmers and opponents of
the cheese factory regulation PROPOSE
ton come to the fore with a demand
that all parties state their position
on this subject in their campaign plat
forms. They desire that no legislation
be permitted which would tend to linn
it the number of cheese factories to
be built in the state.
A bill killed in the legislature pro-
vided that no creamery, butter or
cheese factory should be constructed
in the state after January l, 1918 ex-
cept upon the issuance of a permit by
commission consisting of the dairy
and food commissioner, the president
of the state cheesemakers associa-
ton and the state commissioner of ag-
riculture
Farmer members of the legislature
claim that such a bill would be di-
rect blow at cooperative creameries
of the state.
1t is also claimed that the bill would
in a measure to prevent development of
the dairying industry and place butter
and cheese industries under the direct
control of the Wisconsin Cheesemak-
ers' Association.

Support Boy Scout Movement.

The Boy Scout movement which was
started seven years ago in this coun-
try, has advanced and grown to such
proportions that it is now the largest
organization for boys in the country.
This movement was started to make
better citizens and men out of the boys
The rapid growth has shown how sue
cessfuI it has been. To become a scout
a boy must pass a certain number of
tests in building, camp cooking, swim
ming, signaling, know the Morse code,
first aid to injured, tracking, map MAX
ing, and many others. Above all,
he is taught what Honor means. The
Scout program is character building.
The organization of a Council in
this city means a great thing to the
boys besides the community as a whole
Perhaps you have noticed the differ
ence in your own son during the three
months he has been Scout, in this
city. Any one who is able to help sup
port the Scout movement, should be
more than willing to give them boost
in every way possible. It stands for
clean men, true honor, and better CT
