SEARCHED EDITORS
ROOM FOR MOONSHINE

Mrs. II. e. Goldsmith on her return
home to Viroqua from a recent visit
at Boscobel was met at La Crosse by
her husband, where they remained
over night The couple went through
an unenviable experience which Har-
low described his paper last week
in the following fashion:
Readers of Sundays La Crosse
Tribune probably noticed an article
concerning the raiding of several La
Crosse hotels Saturday night by police
and federal agents in search OF moon
shine. The Censor editor can vouch
for the truthfulness of the report. He
and friend wife were occupying
room in one of the hotels, and were
aroused from slumbers sweet, at the
ungodly hour Of twelve bells to admit
an officer and plain clothes man who
searched the room 1t was some
what embarrassing experience, par
ticularly to an absolute teatotaler like
the Censor editor, but we submitted
gladly, happy in the thought that La
Crosse officials were actually trying
to clean up their city. The officers
found three gallons of perfectly good
moon (not, however, in the editors
ROOM. The bird who owned the
moon had flown, presumably down the
fire escape.

Gault Mr.. Cole is a graduate Of the
Platteville State School of Mines and
a qualified mining engineer. He
lately has had correspondence with a
Milwaukee man who owns gold
mine in old Mexico The mine was

following the breakdown of the Diaz
administration in Mexico, a few years
ago, when Indians dove the American
operatives out of the country Now
the Mexican government is asking

is lower, much lower, than it would
be if they are taken in and pay a tax
of mills.
The meeting Thursday was not
stormy, although everyone present
was keenly interested. A. c. Bishop,
Dr. Carter and Oscar Knapp spoke in
favor Of consolidation. Mr.. Bishop
gave the history Of the case. DR..
Carter followed with facts on present
valuations and tax rates and valua-
tons and tax rates with or without
consolidation He said there were 70
children of school age in the area
Bloomington proposed to absorb. The
present valuation Of District 10. 3,
Bloomington, is $1,315510. With the
addition of the five districts asked
for the valuation would rise to ST.
746,412. With the addition of the
Dodge, Budworth and Red districts
the valuation would rise to $3,500,000,
giving the Bloomington district a
school second to none in the state, s.
the consolidation boosters claim.
Oscar Knapp presented a map show
ing tentatively transportation routes
fo,' school cars or busses.
The farmers were hoc on their feet
fighting consolidation Robt BOhrin-
ger said he was not an educated fool
but a natural born fool. He said the
farmers were taxed to death and coul1
not pay more taxes. He said the
farmer was the negro and slave Of
the north. Del M0rrissey. Frank
Hickok, Henry Bowen. John p Pat
terson, JOS Gates and John Anstey
were on the floor endeavoring to dis
Suade the COMMITTEES from granting
consolidation.
John AnStey said the farm children
were getting a good education with
one-tcnth Of the expense should they
t~avel seven or eight miles to Bloom
ington. He said the farmers needed
training in agriculture and they re-
ceived this on the farm. He applaud
ed the district school as a palladium
of learning and said sending the chill
dren to Bloomington would serve no
useful purpose. The others spoke III
a similar vein, presenting various
arguments against consolidation and
stating that their rights were being
taken away from them. Robt Bob
ringer said that So favored consolida
ton and $50 opposed it. This includ-
ed all the proposed area to be ab-
sorbed and the village OF Blooming
ton itself
Perhaps this article is long enough
as it stands. AS the Herald sees it
the people of Bloomington want bet
ter schools and at the same time wish
to keep their tax rate at present
reasonable proportion. The poop {
outside, many of whom favor con
| solidation as unit almost do not
| favor the proposed consolidation
Their tax rate is low at present and
they do not wish to be jumped from
one mill or so to eight against Their
will To do what they want to dc
without consolidation the Blooming
ton people would load themselves III
with Is mill school tax for IL
wears, so they claim. The outside
| fellows say they like Bloomington
but don't want to pay her debts. And
there the question rests regardless OF
the ultimate decision as to consolida-
| ton.

TEMPORARY FARM
BUREAU ORGANIZED
Hugh Harper Heads The Local Com
mittee


The temporary Grant County Farm
Bureau was organized last week with
Hugh Harper as secretary and man
ager Of the organization campaign,
which will begin next Monday morn
ing. Mr.. Harper is chairman of a
committee of five farmers which will
be in charge of the organization
work.
Present at the organization meeting

tary of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau
Federation at Madison, and Chas. E.
Gunnels and Samuel r. Guard from
the general headquarters of the
American Farm Bureau Federation in
Chicago The American Farm Bureau
men explained that the Farm Bureau
is at once the youngest and the
largest farmers organization in the
world. 1t was launched two years
ago and now has more than a million
members.
A membership of three thousand
farmers is expected in Grant County,
according to Mr.. Gunnels, director of
the Organization Department of the
American Farm Bureau. "Organiza-
ton can bring about many improve
ments in Grant County agriculture,
he said THE farmers here must get
together and stick together not only
to produce more efficiently but to
market more effectively.
The new cooperative commission
house of the National Live Stock Pro-
ducers' Association in Chicago will
save Grant County in commissions
alone more than the total cost of the
Farm Bureau annually. And that IS
only the beginning. Eventually or
ganization will enable you to market
in an orderly fashion, thus preventing
the gluts and violent fluctuations in
price. The Grant County Farm Blu
reau will establish a local office and
provide a secretary for the various
breeders associations. 1t will enable
you in an organized way to solv all
the problems confronting agriculture
in Grant County"
All the interests Of the county are
preparing to aid in the organization
of the Farm Bureau. F. e. Ralph,
county superintendent, will announce
in all the schools prize essay con-
test for the children on the general
subject, why Our Fathers Should
Organize"

RADIO BUGS
HEARCONCERT
FROM YORK
G. E. Station Beats
World for Power

The Lancaster radio fans who make
the l.. A. Clark basement a rendeZ-
vOus, had the pleasure Friday night
of hearing a fine concert broadcasted
from the new high-power General
Electric station at Schenectady, New
York This station, known in radio
circles as WKY, opened Thursday
night with an address by DR.. Charles
SteinmetZ, the electrical wizard. The
station is more powerful than any
now sending out regular programs
During the test period signals were
picked up at Cedar Rapids, Minneapo
lis and Santa Clara, Cuba.
A three-room studio is maintained
in conjunction with this station,
where a grand piano, victroia, pipe
organ and other equipment for artists
is found. The music to be broadcast
ed is picked up by microphones in the
studio and, after being greatly ampli-
fed, is sent by wire over distance
of 5000 feet to the transmitting
station. The signals are then broad
casted by means of It special 10000
volt oscillator tube and the usual
modulating circuit.
The concert Friday night was clear
CT than that of Pittsburg, Chicago,
Detroit, Madison, or any other closer
points. Madison seemed to be over
doing it and was sending on a $50
meter wave length instead of $50.
Considerable static, or earth cleo
trlciUy, was apparent Friday night,
but the concert on the whole was en-
ioyable.

find LINDNER
GUIL. TY ON One
COUNT ONLY
Cassville Man Has
Federal Trial

A federal jury at Madison Monday
found A. J. Lindner, Cassville brewer,
guilty of violation of the prohibition
act on one count. Three other counts
were dismissed, or found against the
government.
Mr.. Lindner was charged with four
counts--two for manufacturing liquor
above the legal alcoholic content, and
two for selling same.
AS it stands Mr.. Lindner is cleared
of the charge of manufacturing and
cleared of selling on one count. He
was found guilty Of selling on yne
count.
The charges were brought last sum-
mer following an investigation at
Cassville by the federal authorities.
The government claimed that Lind
ner made and sold beer containing
above one-half of one per cent al
cohOl
Judge Luse allowed ten days for
filing motions and will hear argu-
ments Sentence is deferred until
after this action. 1t is said by Lind
ner's friends that the jury's action
in finding him guilty Of selling but
not of making, is inconsistent as they
point out that he could not have sold
had he not manufactured.
1t was common talk last summer
and for some time preceding, that
Lindner's beer had good "kick" in
it. 1t was also said that the Cassville
brewery by launch fotilla supplied
Dubuque and that the thirst factory
was on the supply line for points
south and east via truck.
The brewer is represented by H. e.
Carthew of Brennan & Carthew Of
Lancaster and r. w. Jackman, Madi-
son.
