sTANDFIRMPOR ENFORCEMENT


The 18th amendment prohibiting
the liquor traffic is now the law of the

ton of the whole proposition than is

tional amendment"

Hon. John F. Kramer, U. s. Prohi-
bition Commissioner, says: Hereto
fore the line of demarkation has been
between those who favored the prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic and those
who opposed it. Now it is between
those who are in favor of obeying the
law and those who will be ready and
anxious to violate the law.
1t is strange to what ends mems
passions will lead them. Because the
traffic is profitable, even the governor
Of our state apparently winks his eyes
at the fact that it is also damnable.
Prohibition has traversed a rough
and thorny path but it has finally ar
rived and we devoutly hope to stay.

more than the statement from the
Mayo hospital that national prohibit

human life several years to make him
rejoice that the great moral victory
has been attained! Let every law
abiding citizen make prohibition en-

The Best Cough Medicine

When a druggist finds that his Gus

There are something more than
100000 automobiles in the world and
more than 100000 of them are in the

about 100000 person in the United

preston that Greenwood township is
not paying her just share of taxes as
compared to other towns, drawing
their conclusions from the published

OUR LIMITLEss RESOURCES

In reviewing the reports of the Wis
consin crop reporting service for 1919
we find that the total value of all farm
crops in the state amounted to nearly
400 million dollars. In ten years the
value has trebled. The area devoted
TO agriculture comprises nearly nine
million acres. The greatest crop was
corn, yielding nearly85h million bush
els. The oats production fell short
Of last year by nearly 33 million bush
els. Under the stimulus of the war
the spring wheat production rose from
one-third million bushels in 1909 to
over nine million bushels in 1919. The
rye crop was worth about IL million
dollars. Barley production fell off
nearly 100000 acres and the decrease
in value was about seven million dol
lars. The same is true of buckwheat
Clover and timothy show an appreci-
able increase, not so much in acreage
but in value. This years crop was
worth "a million dollars, or 20 million
dollars more than last years crop
The value Of the alfalfa crop has ris-
en- from some over one-half million
dollars in 1909 to four million dollars
this year. While the number of bush
els Of potatoes raised in the state last
year was greater than this, the value
of this years crop is nearly Is million
dollars greater than that of last years.
The tobacco acreage has been reported
on before in the columns of this paper.
In ten years the acreage has increas-
ed only about 5000 acres. The value
to the grower this year is about 1917
million dollars. Cabbage, beans and
peas show decrease in production
compared to last year.
