Virouua Defeats Cashton.

Yes, we all have troubles of our own.
The Cashton ball tossers had theirs, last
Sunday. when they made an unsuccess-
full onslaught on the Viroqua white

not have been so bad if they hadn't been
so cooksure about it, openly boasting
that the locals didn't even have look

we would be shut out The Cashton
Record had this to say in its issue of

'Viroqua met their first defeat at the
hands of the w. b. u team, which, it
is rumored, is very strong aggregs-

blow; however, two smiling faces won't

Well that one smiling face is there in
its lonesomeness but to the, five scowling
ones may fittingly be added another

treme.
Serene in the belief that its pitching
staff was invincible, Cashton found the
contrary to be true. Two of their pitch.

Massachusetts and Michigan have o
law that agitators for better country
roads deem worthy of imitation in
Wisconsin. Under this law farmers
are encouraged to use wide tires by the
incentive of rebate at tax paying time
calculated with reference to the width
OF the tires.
A wide tire Is an effective road roller.
A narrow tire on the contrary, cuts
deep ruts into road, by means of
which water gets in, the road is soon
impaired and subsequently ruined. Let
anyone who doubts the efficiency OF
wide tires look at road after wide
tires have passed, and notice its floor
like condition in the track of the tires.
The general use of wide tires would
yield certain and prompt results in the
improvement of the country roads -

Two important transactions in Wis
consin leaf of the 1905 crop which were
put through recently were the purchases
L P Sutter 81 Bros. of over 5000 cases
at 20 cents per pound, and K. Strauss
& Co, of Philadelphia, of $40 cases at
21 cents pei pound. The fact that such
tobacco q few years ago would have

figures is evidence of the extraordinary

ODD PHASE OF TOBACCO SITUATION
Buyers Offer TO Take Options on Crops
Up TO Given Date.

1t is reported number of outside rep
resentives are looking over the tobacco
regions with a longing for buying.
Queer, isn't 1t, that the Vernon county
crops are so much coveted that buyers
will think of making contracts before
planting is finishedf
There is one peculiar feature of the
present tobacco buying project. Men
travel over the county districts, we are
told, offering to take options on crops
up to given date. 1t would occur to
us that this is one-hsndled proposition.
What will IL profit farmer to give a
dealer an "option" to take or reject his
crop2 IL straight contract is mads,
that is vastly different affair. A con-
tract or an option, whatever a farmer
may subject himself TO- should be
equally binding on both buyer and
seller.
Prof. E. p. Sandsten of the horticul-
ture department of the state university,
was in Soldiers Grove 10 make notes on
an acre Of tobacco seed the horticultur-
al department had planted ON the Gold
Medal farm owned by J. c. Hooverson
in Yankeetown. This farm and lands
in the immediate vicinity ia said to pro-
duce a grade of tobacco equalling the
famous Connecticut brand so much
sought by the leading tobacco manufac-
turers. For this reason the experiment
was made on the Hooverson farm by
the university to study the results which
may develop with certain grades os to-
bacco seeds, and to procure the highest
quality OF tobacco. Wisconsin tobacco
stands among the leading brands in the
tobacco world, and there is always q
strong rivalry among the tobacco buyers
to procure the crop, and even before it
is planted. A rush Ia usually made for
this point and the tobacco raisers have
been advised not to be in any haste
about disposing of their crops, for they
will always command top notch prices

Music Publishers Tell Him They're Glad he
Worked for Copyright Bill.
The Music Publishers Association gave a
dinner last night at the Hotel Aston to
T. P. O'Connor, the Irish journalist and
Member Of Parliament and in a dozen
speeches complimented him for his efforts
in obtaining the passage OF the musical
copyright bill in England. Among Mr..
O'Connor's eulogists were Bronson Howard,
John Kendrick Bangs, Charles Klein and
Victor Herbert.
Mr.. O'Connor said he attributed the
generous greeting to "a feeling OF hospital
ity and an exaggerated friendship eharac-
teristio OF America"
He recited the troubles he had in getting
his bill through, lamenting the difficulty
OF ~persuading the people TO accept the
principle that the creation OF an artists
brain Is as sacred as that OF a mechanics
hands,
He also gave credit to commercial n
spiration,' which he intimated was the
expectation OF ~-pecuniary returns
Literary piracy in America, he said, Of
the English masterpieces had in some
measure prevented the growth Of American
individuality, which in recent years had put
the American literary man, dramatist and
musician in a class by himself, making him
Virile and unique.
