Modify Prohibition
Tn Virgin Islands

St. Thomas, Virgin Island, A. R.
Modification Of prohibition laws so as
to permit manufacture of rum for ex-
port purposes only in the Virgin Is
lands was advocated by members Of
the municipal council Of st. Thomas
and St.-Croix at a hearing today at
the government house before Secretary
DENLY. and his congressional party,
stopping here ehroute home from the
fleet maneuvers off Panama.
Prohibition Of the manufacture of
rum, previously one Of the chief indus
tries of the islands, has retarded COM
mercial activities in the islands, cur
failing exports by approximately rs per
cent and virtually eliminating st.
Thomas as a port Of call for foreign
vessels, the councilmen declared. They
also advocated thatNSt. Thomas be made
a free port for the distribution of rum
from the West Indies, which before
prohibition was the principal business
of the islands.
Secretary DENLY and his party will
leave on the transport Henderson to-
night for Washington, where they ex-
pect to arrive Friday night.

They go to over rs Countries
and the demand is rapidly
increasing.

The american raisin is making a
new record IN its invasion of the
worlds markets. The total ex-.
ports in the fiscal year 1923. which
ends 90 days hence, will exceed
100,000,000 pounds against $4,000. 600
in the fiscal year of 1922. and rs.
100000 in 1916. The value of the,
years exports will approximate,
Sl5,000,000 and will also exceed that,
of any earlier year.
This high. record in the, quantity.
and value. of our raisin exports.
says the Trade Record of The
National City Bank of New York,
is especially interesting in view of
the fact that the, other great raisin-
field of the world, the Levant, has,
recently resumed its contributions
to the world market. Prior to,
the war; the area fronting on the.
eastern end of the Mediterranean,
was large contributor. to the,
world raiSin markets, especially
those of Europe. With, the reduc-
ton in agricultural activities in,
that. area. during the war, produc--
ton was greatly minimized, and
raisins from the United States were
largely imported by Europe and in
some cases supplied to their troops
in the field, and the world thus.

HARDING AT DESK
AFTER VACATION
President Harding and His Wife Re-
turn to Washington After Most
Refreshing Trip South.
by Associated Press Leased Wire)


Observation-Disclosures Harding was
back at his desk today invigorated by
his five weeks vacation in the south
and ready to shoulder again the accu-
mutation of official business. The
president and Mrs. Harding arrived in
Washington shortly after noon yester-
day from Augusta, Ga, -where they
spent last week. Mrs. Harding was
said to have shown only the slightest
evidence of fatigue from the sixteen
hour journey, and her improved health.
was further shown by the fact that she
walked through the station to the au-
tomobile at the entrance whereas on
leaving here she was driven direct to
the private car in the railroad yards.
The president is taking up the i'm
portant matters now before him with
the intention Of disposing Of as many
Of them as possible in the next two
months in order to clear the way for
the proposed western trip. The middle
of June is now set as the tentative time
for the beginning Of the trip, but the
president has not yet definitely decided
whether he will carry out the proposed
tour to the Pacific coast, with a pos
sible extension to Alaska. While Mrs.
Harding has greatly benefited by her
five weeks in the south, the president
is deferring decision on the western
trip until he feels assured on the ad-
visibility of her undertaking such an
extended journey as the one contem-
plated.
In addition to various angles of the
political situation which are expected
to receive the presidents attention in
the next few weeks, the immediate
questions pending are the sugar situa-
tion and plans for disposition of the
government merchant feet.
A preliminary report from the tariff
committee on the sugar question is
looked for within the next week or two
while time required for the preparation
of data to be submitted to the presi-
dent on the merchant marine problem

Endorsement.

Madison.-Two bills relating to the
sale of unwholesome eggs were killed
by the assembly, practically without
dissent. Both were introduced by the
committee ~on agriculture and would
have prohibited the. sale of unwhole-
some eggs and prescribed regulations
for places where eggs arg removed
from the she'll and prepared for food.
The ]. C. Hanson bill extending from
1924 to 1927 the life of the educational

raisin producer, has so rapidly de-
veloped. The total production of
raisins in California was in 1918
100000 pounds, in 1919 350000.-
600. and in 1922 4SO, 000, coo, and we
are now producing more than one
half of the raisins of the world.
About four-ffths of this big pro-
duction is consumed in the United
States. Of the 3,O0,000,OO0 pounds
produced in the past decade, 1870
was exported and the remaining
$3.50 consumed at home. Even this
big consumption from our own
fields does not fully cover the re-
qulrements of our people.
Great Britain is the largest sin
gle buyer of American raisins, our
total exports to that country in
lp2Z having been 100000 pounds
against only 100000 in 1921. Can
ada ranks next to Great Britain in
the takings of American raisins, in
1872, her total for that year being
z9,0OO,O0O pounds. Japan has sud
denly developed a taste for Ameri-
can raisins, exports to that coun-
try in 1922 totaling something over
5000, 900 pounds as against 2,000,-
600 in the preceding year. All the
world seems to have developed a
taste for American raisins, the num-
Der of countries to which they were
shipped in 1921, the latest year for
which details are available, was Is,

sion of the world.

COUNTY in LINE
FOR ROAD AID
Four and a Half Miles of
Road in County May
be Improved. TX
IF STATE BILL PASSES.

A silver lining to the cloud which
would come to Kenosha county in the
event that the state highway bill is
passed loomed up today when it be-
came known that if the bill was pass
ed, approximately four and a half
miles Of road in Kenosha county
would be improved at the expense of
the state and federal governments.
This would be in the form of a rebate
to Kenosha county for the progress
which this county has made in the
building of highways at it's own ex-
pense.
1t is understood by county officials
here that in the event that the bill is
passed the gap in the Kilbourn road
from the Bloxdorf Tavern on the &C.
neva road to the Burlington road-a
strip more than two and half miles
in length-would Fbe in line for i'm
provement during the coming year.
Also that strip of road on the Kill
bourn road west of the part paved by
the county last year and extending to
the county line is also expected to be
paved this year from the state funds.
Would Complete Highway 81.
Reports from Racine are to the eff
feet that in the event the bill is pass
ed the state will pave a gap of seven
miles on the Kilbourn road from
Thompsonville through Sylvania to
the county line This with the work
proposed in Kenosha county would
complete Highway 81 and make it an
other paved highway from Chicago to
Milwaukee.
Half of the cost of the construction
will be paid by the federal govern
ment and the state is to pay the re-
naming half from the automobile
money received.

The growth in world popularity

fact that the exports advanced
from 100000 pounds in 1913 to
100000 in 1918, the closing year

With the return Of the Levant to

the high record of production of 1922,

Express Opinions on
Current Questions
Novel Experiment Tried by Chairman
w. V. Gull of the Town
of Brighton.

Chairman W. v. Gull of the town
of Brighton, sometimes wonders how
his constituents would have him vote
when he is serving on the county
board of supervisors in Kenosha.
In order to get sentiment OH some
important questions he devised a
QUESTIONABLE which was handed to
each voter on election day, the voter
being requested to express his opin-
ion.
There are 1877 farmers in that town
who do not think they need county
agent and onlyDfourteen who do. The
same proportion holds true on a coun-
ty nurse.
The QUESTIONABLE gives an inter-
esting expression of opinion, the ques-
tions and votes as follows:
Do you think we need a supervising
teacher? Yes, 20; no, lie.
Do you think we need county
school board? Yes, 80; no 1T.
Do you think we need county ag-
ricultural agent2, Yes, IA; no, 1877
Do you think salaries for county
officials are too high? Yes, 101, no.
21.
Do you think million dollar court
house little extravagant? Yes, 100;
no, II.
Are you satisfied the way our town
road tax is worked? Yes, 10; no, %.
Are you in favor of higher taxation ?
Yes, Z; no, 1873.

farm? Yes, "a; no, 81.
Do you think we need county
nurse? Yes, 81; no, 1877.

HILL STEAMERS
in SERVICE SOON
Northern Ports to Have
Service Beginning the
First Of May.
ICE HOLDS HARBORS

The Hill Steamboat company has
announced that it's new service for the
cities of Sheboygan, Manitowoc and
other Wisconsin cities will be started
about the first of May. On account
of the ice in Sturgeon Bay and at
other points it has been found i'm
possible to make an earlier start of
the service.
The company win operate three
steamers in order to give Sheboygan
and the other cities a daily service.
The steamers will be the Kenosha,
Sheboygan and the Waukegan and all
of these steamers are expected to
be ready to go into commission by the
early part of May.
Sheboygan and Manitowoc are plan
ming to give the Hill company most
cordial welcome, and business men
of the various cities which will be
reached are promising big support to
the new line.
Shallow Harbors a Handicap.
The shallow harbors at some of the
ports, especially at Manitowoc, are
proving something of a handicap to
the development of the service but
the Kenosha company is planning to
make transfer point at Sheboygan
in order to properly handle the bust
ness. Dredging will be necessary at
the Manitowoc docks before the large
steamers of the Hill company will be
able to give this port the service
planned. In Sheboygan the city officials
have agreed to prepare way for prop
err facilities for the Hill steamers.
1t is not expected that the harbor
at Sturgeon Bay will be cleared of
ice before the first of May.

peacefully away early this morning
John McNulty was born in County

life in that country. He came to
America when he was seventeen years
of age settling first at Chicago. He
was nightclerk at hotel there for
several years. coming to Kenosha when
he was twenty years Of age.
Resident Here Seventy Years.
In 1852, he came to Kenosha, then
Southport and has been a resident
here since that time watching it grow

Fail to Collect
from Government
Vast Amount of War Savings Certifi-
Gates Due and Payable Jan. 1st,
1923, is Still Outstanding.

Washington = "About one hundred
million dollars in War Savings Stamps
and certificates due and payable on
January 1, 1923, are still outstand-
ing" said Lew Wallace, Jr., director
Of the United States Government Saw
ings System. THAT means loss of in
terest for more than three months,
although the government has done ev-
erything possible to induce the people
to exchange these stamps for the new
Treasury Savings Certificates. 1t
would be interesting to know what
kind of people are holding these GER
tjfcates; where they are; how they
live; and their general outlook on
life. Are they the kind of people
upon whom the get-rich-quick az /
confidence men thrive? Have they
bundles of fake oil, mine, and similar
stocks Jumped together with those
cash value certificates of Uncle Sam i?
At all events they are thoughtless,
careless and unbusiness-like.
Real thrifty people look carefully
after all obligations due them and
see that their money is re-invested
so as to earn something for them all
the time. That is what the Govern
ment Savings System is trying to i'm
press upon the people. Instead of
boarding money set it to work earning
return and keep it at work. The
people who are holding their War
Savings securities are boarding their
money, just as if it were so much
cash. And it has the same i'll effect
as boarding cash because the govern
ment holds money in reserve to re-
Deem these outstanding certificates.
All this goes to emphasize the fact
that a constant campaign of educa-
tion on money matters is needed in
this country"
