ter enforcement of what controls we have as most needed,
 Motion offered
 Feeling that all points of view had been presented, Councilman Will Hams then offered to move that the hours suggested in the liquor dealers petition be adopted; ex- tending closing hours from midnight to 2 o'clock a. m. on week days and from o'clock to o'clock on the mornings of Sundays and legal holi- days. Present opening hours of one o'clock p. m. on Sundays and holidays, 10 o'clock a. m. on other days to be retained
 Councilman Williams later amend ed his motion to provide for one o'clcck and o'clock a.. m. closing hours. In that form it was seconded by Councilman Grummett. Both suggested that the proposed new hours be tried out for six months period, to see if bootlegging would not be curtalled.
 Nothing New NoiD
 Councilman Skuse reviewed that the previous Council had thorough ly gone into all sides of the matter when the present ordinance was adopted last February. Nothing new has been brought up" now he said We can't hope to legislate man into the Kingdom of Heaven. The best we can hope for is a happy med Iium." He declared he cannot see why the present ordinance is not as satisfactory as any the City has had, and added that he would not be willing to vote for a change with out some over balancing argument" !"
 Councilman Nelson remarked only that he believes Territorial control is mot far off, if things continue as they are" He sated himself in favor of more study and more pub lie hearings on the issue before the Council acts.
 After more general discussion, mainly repititious, Councilman Will Hams withdrew his motion; on agreement that action be put over to the next meeting when fuller Coun- cil expression might be obtainable.

Victory Garden News

We have been stressing the Importance
of varieties in victory gardens and this
week we are reminded that the Depart
ment of Agriculture has presented new
summer leaf lettuce to be called Slobolt.
We are informed that it will be listed in
the 1916 seed catalogues and that this new
lettuce withstands midsummer tempera-
lures without quickly shooting or "bolt-
ing" to seed. If plants are set 10 to IL in
ches apart and only the basal leaves are
used as they reach desirable size, lettuce
may be harvested from the same plants
over period of several weeks, making it
very desirable home-garden variety.
Slobolt has frilled light-green leaves that
have the very wrinkled effect described as
savoyed. The plants are of moderate size
and the seeds are black.

plan to get the state organization
in motion was to raise money
enough to set up state office
with an executive secretary that
would help organize an active
club in each county that would
be affiliated with the state or
ganization.
The club voted to keep the
yearly dues of $1.00, but to ac-
cept donations that would be
sent to the state organization to
help pay the expenses for the
first year. Around $4,000 was
donated for this purpose, at the
meeting.
It was decided not to take steps
to join the state organization at
this time, but wait until they
could get bylaws and constit-
ution, and have. another meeting
in about thirty days at which
time the matter would be taken

dent of the club, was in charge

cause war needs are taking nearly half of
all of that which is p ,oduced in the U. S.
There are number of reasons why this
product is so popular with the armed fore
es, not the least of which is it's taste. In
addition to this, it can be stored easily and
contains all the ingredients of milk in a
highly concentrated and nutritious form
It has proven to be one of the best foods
for the men at the front.
Last year the cheese industry of the
United States set new record according
to the Bureau of Agriculture Economics
For the second time in it's history the in
dustry has produced more than billion
pounds of cheese in year. For the war
years of 1912 to 1914 the average produc-
ton of cheese is billion and thirty-four
million pounds annually. That compares
with an average production during the
years 1885 to 1889 of six hundred and sixty
nine million pounds year. We are proud
of the record made here and congratulate
the farmers in the milk production that
made this possible. AS result of high
production levels connoisseurs of cheese
have much to look forward to once the de-
mand of these war programs ceases.

and to cause state departments
and agencies to file with the
clerks and superior court with
in 60 days all rules which have
the effect of law.
The first, by Representative
Burgess of Camden, was explain
ed as measure to prevent hasty
marriages. Registrars in this
state issue marriage licenses, and
in some instances have been
known to perform the actual mar
riages.
Some state departments, Con-
servation and Development, for
instance, pass the rules which
have the effect of law. That de-
partment sets open seasons for
game and fish, and violations of
its rules are interpreted in court
as misdemeanors. The bill, by
Representative Kerr of Warren,
would cause all state departments
to file copies Of such rules with
the clerks of superior court.
The House agriculture commit
tee voted favorably on a bill to
prevent the use of the word
Cream" or similar sounding
words in advertising foods not ac-
tually made from dairy products.

approved bills raising the COM
pulsory school attendance age

board of education; providing
free textbooks for the eighth
grade; and providing nine-day
sick leave with pay for teachers,

the hiring of a substitute; and to
authorize schools to have school
bus monitors. In passing the COM
pulsory school attendance bill,
