IN DEADLOCK
Wisconsin May Adopt Prohibition and
She May Not, But Result is
Going to be
Close.

United Press Leased Wire Service.l
MADISON, Wis, May 22.-The Wis
consin legislature was still deadlocked
early today over the proposition to
prohibit the manufacture of liquor in
the state as part of the prohibition
referendum bill. After an all night
session forced by the drys, the law
makers seemed no nearer an agree
ment than when they convened lars
yesterday
The fight conferred on an attempt by
the vets to recall the bill for the pur-
pose of striking out the clause which
would prohibit liquor manufacturing.
The drys were battling to keep the
bill intact till II a. m. At that hour
unless Governor Philip signed or We.
toed the bill, it would become law
automatically, according to the drys.
Phillip asked that the bone dry
clause be stricken out on the ground
that it would wipe out s54,000,000 in.
dustry and throw $4,000 persons out
of work. The senate convened at
7:30 last night and the house at 9:15.
AT 3:15 a. m. the senate drys attempt
ed coup by moving adjournment un-
til 10 a. m. This was blocked when
Governor Dithmar's gavel
awakened a dozen wet senators sleep
ing in an adjoining room.
Wet members of the house were
speeding to Madison from all parts OF
the state today to aid in passing the
resolution. In case enough Of them
were not present by II a. m. an at
tempt was to be made to prove that
Governor Philip has until midnight
to act The house is being held un-
der call.

tive Poor, of Milwaukee, discovered

Those Who Take Out Annual Dues
Do Not Pledge Themselves for
Any Active Service at
War Front.
MONEY DOES THE WORK
Funds Are Forthcoming Both In
Times of War Stress and In Times
Of Catastrophe During
Peace,

What does It mean to
G@ join Keokuk chapter of the
| 'ESA Red Cross?
1t means that your dol
lar, or two dollars, or whatever
amount you wish to give for the
mem bership you take out is put to
work for you in variety of ways.
1t cares for the sick and wounded
men of the army and navy at the
war base.
It provides for the families Of sail
ors and soldiers.
It secures employment for men dis
abled In the service of our country.
In times of peace it relieves dis
tress caused by disaster to cities,
towns and villages.
Joining the Red Cross does not
mean that you are expected to go to
the war front.
Red Cross members do not assume,
any financial obligations other than
the payment of small annual dues.
The memberships Of millions of
patriotic men, women and children
all over the land make possible the
beneficent relief work upon which the
army and navy man and his family
may depend.
The membership dues help to care
for victims of catastrophes in times
Of peace.
These are just few Of the things
that Keokuk people can do when they
Join the Red Cross chapter here.
Some have the mistaken idea that 1t
means actual service. 1t most assur
edly does not, since only trained
workers are used on the war fronts
by this society.
