PICNIC GROUNDS
NEAR LA CROSSE

Establishment of county picnic
grounds in several beautiful spots Tor
the benifit of city and country resi-
dents and automobile tourists will be
the first aim of the rural planning
committee Of La Crosse county, ac>
cording to plans announced by r. w.
Davis, chairman.
"The rural planning commission is
anxious to advertise the fact that La
Crosse county has the most beautf-
full scenery in this country, and that
the whole country is a park" said Mr..
Davis. 1--WE plan to clean out Old
springs. provide rustic seats and
benches, provide facilities for camp
fires and otherwise improve accessible
picnic grounds on main travelled roads
over which auto tourists pass.
The committee also will mark IN
dian mounds, caves and historic spots
in the county, call attention to beauti-
full views from the bluff roads in diff
ferent parts of the county, and aid
town and village boards in laying out
new roads and drives. One of the first
jobs of the committee will be to mark
the old Winnebago Indian trail from
Sparta to La Crosse, over which +1or-
sands of Indians passed each year be-
fore the first house was built at La
Crosse and for many years afterward.
1.-THE committee plans to establish
at least one community center in
every township, and if possible one in
each school district in the county.
THE committee also will induce the
planting of trees and shrubs along
roadsides and on school grounds, pro-
vide wood lots in different sections of

THE YEAR ENDS

Time is like a great ocean and the
wears are like the waves that come
one after the other and are soon
dissolved along the shore. With the
ending of 1919 there Immediately fol-
lows 1920. Whatever has been, has
been. There is no going back and
starting all over again. So far as
time is concerned, the days which
have gone cannot be lived over again.
They are like the stream at the mill,
the wheels will never turn with the
water that has passed.
Now comes 1920, only a moment in
the great expanse of time, but the
usual stretch of days for opportunity
and happiness. One knows what he
ought to do, but the question is, will
he do it? If you intend to pass
through the year properly, if you in
tend to embrace every opportunity,
the time to begin is now. Those who
keep talking about tomorrow and
tomorrow win realize in time that
1920 has been dissolved on the shore
of time and that 1921 is at hand
This is a good time to pause for a
few moments and consider the mis-
takes of the past, if any, and to re-
solve on the future.
Much is possible for the person VINO
tries.
In the meantime The News wishes
all of it's readers a happy and pros
porous New Year.

BIOGRAPHY OF [. BEER

Now that we are standing with
bowed head about the bier Of that
great American citizen, Lager Beer
thirst in war, thirst in peace, etc
many are inquiring as to the spot
where this hero first saw the light OF
day. AS in the case OF many other
great characters, the birthplace of
this greatest of all American mixers
seems to be somewhat in dispute. The
honor is contended for by Philadel-
phia and New York City.
Prior to 1914 only about as many
Americans were familiar with the
taste of lager beer as are now unfa-
miliar with it. Other beer had been
made in this country--English beer
and ale-and some lager had been inn
ported for the manifestations. But
whisky, being then unhampered by
the internal revenue, was the poor
mans drink.
About the first effort to mitigate
the Great American desert OF which
we have any record was that of old
Governor Van Twiller who put up a
place more than $50 years ago on the
farm Of the West India company in
Manhattan. Another brewery started
out statesmen from Albany at about
the same time This plant was still
making beer up to recent date. These
two humidifiers ran for 200 years be-
fore lager beer was discovered. They
made ale. table beer, small beer and
what is now known as barley wine
But it was left for a plant in the
suburbs Of Philadelphia or one which
stood at Nineteenth street and Broad
way in New York City, to begin the
domestic manufacture Of the late

WHAT IF PROHIBITION IS
CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES

Wisconsin Marketing Commission
er Edward Nordman, in discussing
high prices, ayers that prohibition is
the cause. He explains it by saying
that the money formerly spent for
beer is now going to increase a dc
mand which manufacturers and in,
porters are unable to meet.
"The man who used to spend
lot of money at the saloon
hasn't the saloon any more, >
suggest Mr.. Nordman. $50 the
money is paying for the 'neces-
sites without which the family
has been doing for more true
necessities than he really
needs and for absolute Injuries.
And, with the extra money at his
disposal, he is paying top prices
for everything he buys. Up
have gone prices and up they
will stay until he learns to con-
troll his desires, or until the sup
ply has increased enough to
keep up with the demand"
What if prices have gone up al
the result of prohibition? Is not thu
