DISPLAY FLAGS
I ON ELECTION DAY
Every Home in City to be
Asked to Hang Out "Old
Glory" November A.
AND THEN GO TO POLLS

Every home in the city is falling
into line in Kenosha's city-wide CAM
paign for a hundred percent increase
in the vote next month. Since the
beginning of the campaign sponsored
by the Kenosha Evening News and
the Kenosha Civic council there have
been numerous suggestions as to how
this could best be effected.
One of these is reported from the
st. Paul American Legion convention
where considerable attention was
given to the problem of getting the
voters to the polls not only. on cleo
ton days, but on primary days, reg
istration days, poll-tax days and 9TH
er various occasions on which an
American citizen may exercise the
prerogatives of his citizenship.
1t is proposed that at every home
the American flag be displayed on
election day. 1t is the belief that
this will be splendid reminder to
every citizen that it is election day.
At least if he has forgotten what the
day is his questioning anyone what
the flags are out for will bring the
information to him that it is cleo
ton day.
Plan of Boys Club.
A few months ago a boys club in
Seattle, Wash, undertook to get the
voters to the polls by simple, easy
and ingenious method.
The boys divided up the city and
sent one of their number into each
district to obtain householders' sign
ed pledges to display the United
States flag while the polls /. were
open. Signatures we're easy to OBJ
tain. The idea received much pub
licity. Practically everyone in Seat
tie knew that flags would be dis
played on election day as reminder
to vote.
When the voter sailed forth to
his work, the first thing he saw on
election morning was a. display of
flags as on a national holiday.
whats all the shouting about ?"
was his first thought, followed al
most Immediately I by, "Why, it's
election day. Guess I'd better vote"
And he did.
An unusually large vote turned
out for that election-considerab
larger than would have been cast
normally.
Flag Brings Out Vote.
A flag display did it. And it
proved that when the voters are re-
minded at the right time, they go
out and vote.
1t is pointed out that if the flag
display proposition is adopted-and it
most likely will be-that canvassers
will be saved many calls for the dis
play of the flag home will be an in
dication that voters residing there
are aware of the fact that it is
election day and that they are do
ing their duty.

MARKETING CLUBS FOR
RURAL COMMUNITIES
st. Francis Clergyman Says This Is
Way to Meet Present COndi-
tions in State.

Milwaukee, Wis. Cooperative mar
keting must be established in rural
communities in order to prevent the
periodic losses and hardships to which
farmers now are subject, the Rev.
Francis j. Haas, Phi. D., st. Francis
Wis, told delegates to the second an
nual Catholic Rural Life conference, a
national organization, here, Monday.
The cooperative movement often is
understood, the speaker said, explain
ing that it was not communist move
ment, nor does it attempt to pool
the efforts and products of farmers
and stife healthy initiative. L
Cooperation, the speaker pointed out
contemplates only sound business
methods in marketing of farm produce
The general establishment of rural CO.
operatives is dictated by the consid-
erations Of justice and public welfare,
he added.
"The farmers weak selling position
can be strengthened and brought to
the level of equality only if the far
rner enters cooperative selling associa-
tions," Rev. Haas said.
"a farmers income should be sufi-
cient to pay him, first, fair wage for
his work and for that Of his wife and
children; secondly, a fair interest re-
turn on his investment plus deteriorar
ton charges on his lands and equip
ment and finally insurance against the
risks of weather and crop failures.
Needless to say, thousands of efficient
farmers are receiving much less than
this combined amount.
'The remedy for the farmers plight
is economic, not political. Laws can
not SOW or harvest grain. Government
machinery should be set in action only
when private forces break down, or
when they are demonstrably made
quate.
"The movement can be extended on
" through education. in the work Of
education the rural church and the
rural pastor should take leading
part"
