The authorities of Viroqua are
carrying out the will of the majority
on the liquor selling question with
vim. Last week thirsty fellow
represented to physician and to a
drug store that he wanted liquor for

it was secured and used it as bev-
erage. He was arrested, waived
examination, but after being held

many people seem to deem the
girl of today" of no account COM
pared with the girl in grandmOther's
time. That is mistake. The girl
of today is hustler. She does the
clerking, the typewriting. the book
keeping, the school teaching OF the
country. She is crowding the boy
off the earth, because he is too slow,
too INDECENT, too Indifferent, too
busy drinking, playing pool and
fishing to keep step with her. In
America women are not only doing
the housekeeping better than it was
eyer before done but half of the
other work as we'll. She shines
in the colleges, makes up three
fourths OF the graduating classes in
high schools, does most of the
church work, conducts literary
clubs, beauties parks, roots for the
home baseball team, and leads the
procession in all the moral, social
and literary functions, visits the
sick and dispenses charity. Besides
all this she finds time to listen to
the love-making of some weak man
who needs a wife TO take care of
him. We tell you that a modern
girl is strenuous. She is a dandy.

comfort, whose fathers, husbands
or brothers, have died and left them
with some means, but with not
enough business training to tran
sact ordinary business with a hand
intelligently. They are sometimes
ashamed to confess their ignorance,
and have learned to assume that
they do not even know how to draw
and endorse checks" A number of
leading lawyers and bankers cor
rObOrated this statement. Acting
upon these suggestions, the Cor
respondence Study Department of
the University of Wisconsin started
a course in simple business forms
and methods. The course is carried
on by the Department of Business
Administration of the University.

Among the students are two college
graduates, both women. one from
Colorado and one from Missouri,
who wrote, in almost the same
words, II want to learn how to
care for my own property" Many
people who can make money do not
know how to invest and care for it,
