MENACE CHEESE INDUSTRY
Government investigation Shows That
Dealers Establish Price BY
Competitive Bidding.

Sheboygan - That the big packers
are again menacing the cheese indus
try of Sheboygan county, and, for that
matter of the entire state of Wiscon'
sin, is the claim of local cheese deal
ers, cheese makers and dairymen,
made to the department of justice Of
the federal government.
Special Agent Stacy, of the depart
ment of justice, has been making a
thorough investigation of the cheese
industry, and, although ne would moi
divuIge what recommendation he
would make to his department, it il,
known that he has received the infor
nation he came here to get.
After a most thorough investigation
of the matter, the federal agent de
clared that he was satisfied that the
Sheboygan and Plymouth dairy boards
which establish the standard price oil
American cream cheese for the United
States, are a good thing for the in
dustry and for the general public. He
found that the price is established by
open competitive bidding by the
cheese dealers.

ENVOY ACTED AS SPY
LANSING REVEALS WORK OF
SWEDISH MINISTER IN MEXICO
Letter of kaise's Representative Ask
ing Decoration for Scandinavian
Aid Made Public.

Washington, Sept. 15.-The material
aid given Germany by Sweden was not
confined to transmission of naval Sc
crets by code from Argentina to Ber-
lin. A copy of an official letter from
Herr Won Eckhardt, German minister
in Mexico, to his home office, given out
by Secretary Lansing on Thursday,
makes the startling revelation that
Folke Cronholm, Swedish charge
d'affaires in Mexico City, was an active
agent of the German government.
So extensive were his services that
he was recommended to the kaiser as
being worthy of a, special decoration
as reward for his services.
1t is shown that Folke Cronholm not
only gave military and diplomatic in
formation to Minister Won Eckhardt at
least up to March, 1916, but that he
followed the example of his colleague
in Buenos Aires by transmitting Off
cial messages from the German en-
bassy in the official Swedish code to
the foreign Office at Stockholm and
thence to Berlin.
At the same time the secretary of
state made public a report from Ira
Nelson Morris, American minister at
Stockholm, declaring that while the
Swedish foreign office was transmitting
German messages in German code for
the German diplomats, it was requir-
ing Mr.. Morris to file his messages to
Constantinople via the Swedish foreign
Office in French.

THE challenge thrown to the PEG.

PEACE COUNCIL is SCORED
Governor Phillip in An Address at
Superior Fair Says He Will Not
Handicap Government.

Superior-"While l am governor of
this state there will be no peace meet
ings which will serve to handicap the
government" declared Gov. e. L.
Phillip in an address at the tri-state
fair here. He said that he had given
instructions to the sheriff in Hudson
not to permit the holding of the peo-
pies council meeting there recently
and that he would adhere to this poi
icy.
The governor scored Wisconsin's
senior senator to whose utterances he
attributed the reputation Wisconsin
had gained in the east of being "the
traitor state" term he declared the
state had proven undeserved.
while / am for peace" he said,
this war has reached stage where
it is necessary to be for war until we
can have a permanent peace. And
that peace is not what is asked by the
pacifsts. If they think that we will &C.
cept any peace until Germany has re-
linquished the part of France that she
holds and the parts of Serbia, Belgium
and the Balkans now under the con-
troll of the central powers they are
much mistaken"

SET DATE FOR CHEESE DAY
Green County Fete to Be Held at
Monroe October Ninth - Linn
burger for Everybody.

Monroe-Cheese day, an original in
stitution in Green county, will be cele-
brated for the fourth consecutive year.
Oct. 8, with as large preparations as
last year, when some 10000 attended.
Swiss, limburger and brick cheese
will be served free just before lunch
time on Spring square in sandwiches,
with coffee and cream. A ton of the
choicest cheese was given away last
year. The rest of the day cheese sand
witches will be sold at moderate prices
at the booths on the four corners Of
the square.
A feature that has its bearing on
conditions of the country at war will
be the exhibit Of foods by the state in
the square, with explanation of the
food value of cheese, and other COM
mon food. Conservation of food will
be urged in special talks.
The committee has arranged for all
the side attractions of a town carni-
val to amuse the children and coun-
try folk. A big parade will be held,
and masquerade of dancers on the
square, with prizes for the best make
ups.
The historic connection of the large
ly Swiss population with the dairy in
dustry lends a sentimental interest to
the fete which always brings great
crowds from all through the county.

teers. Gov. Philip wrote Secretary
of War Baker asking permission to
put in force the plan worked out by
AdJt Gen. Orlando Holway of the
Wisconsin National guard.
Approval by President Wilson and
Secretary Baker is necessary before
any steps can be taken. The second
draft army is expected to be raised
the latter part of this year or the first
OF next and it is assumed that the
same number Of men will be required
as the first, which is 1886 for Wis
consin.
1t is the idea of Adjt Gen. Holway
that this number be raised if Wash
ngton will allow the Wisconsin Ma
tional guard to be recruited up to full
war strength.
1t is pointed out that each of the
draft boards could act as ex-oficio re-
cruiung agents. Ii was further stated
by Adjt. Gen. Holw2y that this would
give many hundreds O. registered men
chance to get into the service right
away, as any registered man can vol
unteer so long as he has not been
called for civil examination.

When the throng had given vent I'll
its hearty appreciation he paused dra'
matically and declared:
"Such persons are rendering more
effective service to Germany than they
ever could render on the battlefield
with arms.
Their purpose is so plain that it is
impossible to resist the conclusion that
the greater number of them are at

anyone who by argument is hin

EXHIBIT A SUCCESS
OFFICIALS WELL PLEASED WITH
RESULT OF 1917 STATE FAIR,
Attendance Figure Broken Despite
Rainy Weather Which Marred
Milwaukee Day.

Milwaukee-The 1917 State fair was
the best and largest attended fair in
the history Of Wisconsin. The total
attendance at this years fair was
1S9,1S4 compared with 165,O46 last
year, an increase of 24,038.
While official receipts of the week
cannot be issued for few days until
the various departments have been
checked up, it is almost certain that
the 1917 exposition will be a financial
success. Attendance records of for
mer years were shattered despite the
fact that Milwaukee day, which had
been depended upon to attract $4,000
persons, was marred by unfavorable
weather.
Secretary Oliver E. Remey, in are
viewing the fair, said:
"The greatest State fair Wisconsin
ever has seen has just closed There
is no reason why the 1918 fair should
not be better than the fair of 1917.
Il have been gratified over the pres
ence of many members of the legisla-
ture this year. They have seen our
imperative needs and 1 am quite sure
the next session of the legislature will
give needed improvements. The legis-
lature has been more liberal to date
and now that members see the fair is
making strong strides toward real i'm
provement, they seem willing to put
the grounds in shape.
Excellent cooperation has been
given this years fair by the citizens
of Wisconsin and northern Illinois,
and especially by Milwaukeeans, led
by the automobile dealers and the
Merchants and Manufacturers associ-
alton. The state and Milwaukee are
now shoulder to shoulder behind the
fair. The press of the state has, as
usual, been more than liberal.
1.-THE progress we have made must
be held. 1t will be the duty of those
in charge of the 1918 fair to not only
hold what ground has been gained,
but to gain more
With reference to the magnitude
and quality Of the 1917 fair, let those
who saw it pass judgment"
One of the features of the closing
day was the sale of the butter and
cheese from the dairy exhibit. Several
hundred persons thronged the dairy
building when the sale opened and an
extra Gordon of police was necessary
to control the purchasers. More than
5000 pounds of cheese and 1900
pounds of butter were presented dur
ing the sale. Most of the purchasers
were women who brougst along mar
ket baskets to take the products home.
The goods were disposed of under the
auspices of the County Council of De-
tense.

building plants at other bay points.
Full details of the strike and the de-
mands of the 20 unions involved for
