Woman Mayor Is on
Warpath in Her Town
Miss - Lula Shaw, Printer, Editor,
Wealthy, Out for Lower Taxes
And Less Rum.
Less moonshine! Lower taxes! No
ring control! And down with the
“silk stockings”’—figuratively speak
ing.
This is the administration program
of Miss Lulu Shaw, who on April 24,
1923, officially assumed her duties as
mayor of Crandon, the first woman
mayor in the state of Wisconsin. And
now Mayor Shaw is starting a cam
paign of liquor law enforcement in
this northern town of 1600 popula
tion. The new mayor says that Cran
don has been run too long by vested
and “silk stocking” interests which
have raised taxes and. been entirely
too lenient about violations of the
eighteenth amendment. So she took
up her own campaign, going from
house to house, speaking to the wives
of the working man and proposing
a new deal from a clean deck. And
she won.
Defeated. But Dauntless.
Two of Miss Shaw’s candidates for
city council on whose votes probably
depended its control were defeated,
but that did not discourage her. “The
women have only begun,” she said.
“They make good campaigners—iully
as good as men.”
Miss Shaw is the daughter of Sam
ue! Shaw, the “father of Forest coun
ty,” superintendent of schools at Mad
ison, who, during a vacation, saw the
possibilities of this region and its
hardwook timber, got a bill through
the legislature creating Forest coun
ty and moved in. He invested heavily
in timber lands, and when he died was
rated a millionaire,
He had started Forest Leaves, the
first newspaper in Forest county. His
daughter, Lulu, helping her father on
his paper, learned to be a practical
printer and journalist and was train
ed in business. During her election
campaign her opponents got plenty of
pitiless publicity.

IF SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR
Just the moment you apply Mentho-
Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says a noted skin spe=
cialist. This sulphur preparation, made
into a pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to fiery eczema,
that nothing has ever been found to
take its place.
Because of its germ-destroying prop
erties, it quickly subdues the itching,
cools the irritation and heals the eczema
right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pime
ples or roughness.
©You do not have to wait for improvee
ment. It quickly shows. You can get
a little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur
at any drug store.
