FIFTY LEADING
BADGER FARMERS
Including Twenty Who Have
Been Recognized" by the
University of Wisconsin.

Consistent work for the advancement
of agriculture and education, which has
characterized the lives of most of Wis
sonsin's successful farmers, mas been
the leading interest in the life Of John
Matthias True of Sank county
The severe lessons of practical agri-
culture learned under the exacting eli
mate of New England and under the
equally rigorous conditions arising
from its stony soil, had been the train
ing Of several generations Of his fam
lily before him. With a training sup
plemented by such educational priv
ileges as the neighborhood schools and
nearby private academies afforded, Mr..
True developed into the solid, farm
bred type Of public servant that has
been largely responsible for WiscOn-
sins agricultural greatness.
The family was established in Sank
county in 1866, when Mr.. True was %
years old. In summer he worked on
the farm, and in winter he taught
school until local public duties, such as
those of town clerk, supervisor, asses
sor and register OF deeds, interfered
with his duties as a school teacher.
Improved agricultural conditions
have been MIR. True's main interest
throughout his life. The first regis
tered stations in Sank county were
brought there by an association of
which he was secretary. Farmers
throughout the state remember his
work on the farmers institute plat

GET TOGETHER

We can not expect men to re-
main on farms unless the farms
are profitable-nor can we ex-
pect men and women to remain
in the country unless their chill
dren can obtain the educational
facilities that are available to
the children of the cities. The
very root of the problem lies
In this matter of rural education
and in the development of
country life that offers not only
profit, out education, health and
fair measure of enjoyment
Farm sanitation, good roads,
Identification of farms, the use
of rural schools as community
centers, all these and many 9TH
er issues are involved.
1t is time for the bankers and
business men of America to
awaken to the fact that farmers
will not be content to pIod along
in the old way-they are the
producers of our wealth, and
they are entitled to the co-opera-
ton of bankers and business
men in obtaining a fair conpen-
sation for their Iabors. There
can be no contented rural life
in this country until farmers,
bankers and all classes of citi-
zena JOIN in thrashinq out the
many problems that affect the
very foundation of American
citizenship.-Joseph Hirsch.

Is mass meeting was held In the old
typographical Hall to discuss the
question raised by Mr.. Mahoney's ar
ticle.
Mr.. Mahoney presided at the meet
ing. He offered a plan Of organiza-
ton for the various prohibition or
ganizatlons In the city. The Anti
Saloon League OF Washington was
born with s. II. Walker as its nrst
president.
The National Anti-saloon Leagus
later was formed In response to a
suggestion made by the Rt Rev.
Bishop ireland IN a railroad train to
the Rev. Luther Wilson Of Washing
ton. Mr.. Wilson repeated the Bish-
ops SUGGESTION at q meeting OF the
Anti-Saloon League. A motion was
made to call convention OF prohi-
bitionists IN Washington and later In
the year the National Anti-Saloon
League was organized.
In connection with the week Of cele-
bration Of John Barleycorn's final
surrender the prohibitionists of wash
ington are celebrating Mr.. Mahoney's
I'D birthday. The veteran fighter was
born in the District in 1850 and entered
the ranks OF prohibition in 1866. when
he Joined Eagle Tent Rachabites, the
Oldest prohibition organization In the
United States.
In 1885 he became editor of the pro-
hibition sheet, No Compromise"
published to make public the names
nf those citizens signing applications
for liquor licenses. Marker copies Of
each paper were always sent to per-
sons whose names appeared on IL
censes' applications, with the words
Equally Guilty and the title Part
ner Of the Saloon" after their names
Mr.. Mahoney boasts that signers for
license applications became hard TO
secure during the life Of his little
paper.
At II Mr.. Mahoney attributes his
robust health to the fact that he has
never, tasted a drop Of liquor.
Il have made it a rule" he declares.
Ito have nothing to do with the traf-
fic outside OF my battle to put a stop
to II. My chief boast after forty
years in the paperhanging business is
that 1 have never papered a bsrroom
or been in one"
Mr.. Mahoney declares that in the
early days OF the prohibition fight the
prohibitionist frequently found him
self without a job; and that a man
in business for himself usually had
to conceal his real opinions IL he
eXpeCted~to have any business
