ton of France on March 6,
1921, was 36,084,2 ,206, according
to the figures which the Official

After adopting of the resolution Horr
declared the visit to the Socialist con-
vention was prompted by a desire ito

his bureau and that the bureau would

Even Home Brew Banned
By New Law in Wisconsin

MADISON, Wis, June 30.-A
- prohibition enforcement bill,
sponsored by Gov. Blaine and
amended to prohibit the manu-
facture of home brew, was
signed to-day by the Governor.
The measure becomes effective
tomorrow. Gov. Blaine recently
vetoed a bill because of its home
brew section.
He declared the section against
home brew could not be en-
forced and that the State did not
have the money to enforce it.
When the Governors measure
came up his followers in the
Senate deserted him and the bill
went through with the home
brew amendment.
