Blade With choice lambs bringing the highest prices heard of in many years sheep producers should give more attention to the kind of ram1 they use. The first essential in, producing high quality lambs is a well bred ram of good blocky conformation. There are plenty of rams of this type for sale in this county which can be bought from $30 to $40 each. This may sound high, but when grade lambs are selling on the morket from $29 to $30 each the right kind of ram would be cheap at twice what the breeders are ask tar** tween good around $8 bel dium. With like this it is that the right be from $6 to $10 an his lambs than an inferior ram. The right type Ways worth what ram is too high If any farmer*;, buying a pure bred tact the county age glad to help him w he needs.

If You Conscientiously Feel That A Vote Against Legal Is In Reality A Vote Against LfcpoiY ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS: / 1. In view of the undisputed fact that we have dozens of semi-public / * ; vvT.. ' liquor stores, and a number of Federal licensed retail liquor stores in the county, where boys or'anyone else can buy liquor at any time, day or night, do you really believe that a vote to continue the present system is a vote against liquor? 2. Do you think it is in the Interest of temperance and righteousness to accept money from the bootlegger with which to fight legal control and protect the bootlegger’s business? Don’t you think the bootlegger is spend ing this money only for the protection of his business? 3. Don’t you think It is time that we did somethin? to Build up senti ment against drinking among the young folks, which sentiment has al most disappeared under the present systemT Do yon see any hope of doing i this under present method of fiandBwg liquor? •\ . 4. Don’t you think that the large number of ministers in the county who have decided that they will not go «o> the poles again and vote to pro tect the bootleggers’ business, W who are in aB sincerity supporting legal control, are just as consoenteously against liquor as the mmiitrr i who are fighting to consume the present intolerable system? 5. About half the people of die entire U. S. are operating under the system of legal control satisfactorily. Don’t you think we are capable of making this system work as the people in other sections ef the State and country? , i ■ -v; • t. 1 '\ - n . . The Opponents Of Legal Control Have Asked : /» rr ° -i ' rir ■* \T* ,;rr - members ■ ' ffc T would be operated, etc. HERE ARE THE FACTS: of the board of control, how many stores 1. ( The members of the Board will be appointed from both democratic and republican parties by the Board of Commissinooners, Board of Educa tion and the Board of Health and these boards fix the salaries* The record for economy of these boards is an absolute guarantee against any extrava — gance. Everyone knows this to be a fact. 2. Hie fact that the very best men who can be found in both political parties will be selected for the board is all the assurance any one^ieeds that the business will be run economically and in strict compliant*^ with; f: the law. The State board can, under the law, force strict compliancy .with the law. NR We hope you will carefully consider the actual facts of the situation and if yon help us try this system of control WE PLEDGE YOU that if it DOES NOT improve the moral situation, reduce the evils of liquor, and greatly reduce taxes that we will help vote it out. PLEDGE TO f 3. In last week’s News the A, B. C. store was referred to as a saloon. The opponents of Control know that'this is not true. The sales are in seal ed containers which cannot even be opened in the store. They know also that the store will be as orderly in its operation and that the conduct in > and around the store, as in and around any grocery store in the county. 4. No (me has the slightest idea of establishing but one store in the county which would, of course, be located in Sparta. It would be foolish to do otherwise. You must remember that mor^ than nine-tenths of the cus tomers wil| be-from outside the county. THE FINAL ISSUE Will you vote for bootleg liquor and bootleg control or will you vote for legal control and the addition of at least $lt)O,0Qp.eO per fear to the county treasury with which to build school buildings, county hospital, low A er tarns, and the stamping out of bootlegging in Allegheny county? «
