WALL WE. TAKE The FIRST SLEPT
Play Grounds for the Youth Of the City

Does Viroqua need play grounds?
While other places are purchasing and
leasing play grounds and states are
passing play ground laws, we are pro-

land after we have tried b cover it
with three large school buildings and a
heating plant. We have good schools
and we are proud of them; but our play
ground is so small that about two hun
dred and fifty of the school children are
not allowed to use it.
Mr.. Joseph Lee SAYS, 1.-THE boy with
out a play ground is like the man with
out job. Is it not true that va
grancy is very natural outcome of a
boyhood without an opportunity for
play? "Come on out and play" should
not mean game on the side walk or
in the dusty, germ filed street. The
streets have never been safe play
grounds. Now, with automobiles rapid
ly replacing carriages, they are posi-
lively dangerous The -"vacsnt lots"
are not free TO the children IS they
were few years ago'and the children
have been gradually crowded into the
streets. Our plea is plea for the
bows
Cities are now spending millions to
remedy the mistakes they made in not
providing play grounds when land was
cheaper. We should do something.
Vacant lots near the school grounds can
be leased very reasonably and options
for their purchase secured. 1t is not
necessary that such play grounds should
i have costly equipments Some of the
best results have been obtained where
the children have laid out their own
grounds and constructed their own APP
paratus.
Judge Ben b. Lindsey says: sYou
cannot keep children from fiocking to-
lgether; neither should you. The re-
sponsible parent who thinks to solve
the problem by keeping the boy away
from his fellows is more likely to de.

A Distorted Sense ofHumor

For the third time within week the
citizens of Viroqua have been misleed
by the turning in of false fire alarm.
The latest outrage was that of about
IL O'Clock last Friday evening when an
alarm was turned in from the fire box
near the Bekkedal warehouse. Mem
bers of the fire company and Others
fastened to the scene but not sign of
conhagrstion met the eye. Investiga-
ton showed that the glass front of the
fire box was broken. We sincerely pray
that the misdoer will be apprehended
and hailed into court.

A True a. the Gospel

By patronizing home merchants you
are always rewarded by having good
enterprising merchants at home. Pat
ronize them and they will benefit you in
more ways than one. You are rewarded
by seeing your patronage and the pat
ronage Of your influence in building up
and sustaining your own town; pat
ronize home merchants, home industry
and home enterprise of all kinds in
preference to those Of any other place.
Spend your money at home with people
wha have an interest in you and your
town. By doing this the town is kept
up, property is made more valuable,
conveniences are enlarged and oppor-
tunities for financial improvements are
ouened.

Edgerton Reporter. Continued cool
weather is retarding the growth of all
vegetation and holding the season back
ward. While the plant beds are max
ing some progress under the best wealth
er conditions, the Indications are for a
late planting season again. A few
growers report plants large enough for
the fields but the delay in corn planting
and other work has prevented the pre-
pairing of the tobacco ground much as
yet. The coming week will see little
transplanting started, but warmer days
and immunity from frosts are necessary
regulation size by the usual date of
planting.
The first experiment Of stemming to-
bacco by machinery in this state is soon
to be inaugurated by the American To-
bacco Co. at their plant in Madison. A
few machines have been ordered to be
installed shortly, and If they prove sue
cessful, stemming operations are likely
20 be carried. on extensively in this
state, not only by this firm but by
other large consumers ef low grade
Wisconsin leaf. The American Tobac-
co Co. have introduced the machines in
some of their southern plants with such
results that prompt them to make a
trial here. Several hundred car loads
of low grades are sent yearly to the
Ohio and Louisville stemming plants,
but recent strikes and help conditions
there lead the concern to think that
their tobacco can be just as economi-
calIy stemmed in Wisconsin When
the plant is placed in operation we hope
to be able to give our readers more
detailed account of its workings.

Some Pleasant Catches That are Es
pressivc

A good memory is a good thing IL il
is exercised only in remembering good
things, but retentive memory that
stores up every slight neglect and
grudge, might better be less active.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1910-06-08


A true home is work of art. Money
will not make it. Hard work alone
will not make il. Something of the
spirit must be there combined with in
finite care taking in details and care
full choosing Of the friends and infsu-
ences which are allowed to enter it.
A happy home is the brightest spot
on earth that the eye of God looks
down upon. Love and peace in his
home sends sunshine around the man
wherever he goes; disorder and trouble
there is misery everywhere. There
are few worries of life which q man
cannot now and then shake off, but who
can shake himself from the skeleton in
the closet. from the worry of the house,
hold, blister on the heart. A day
will tell how many man carried that
with him without wincing down TO the
grave. When husband and wife are
helpmate to each other in the best
sense; when order and goodness prevail
in the house then the man who has a
hard battle in life to fight can leave
his struggles behind him when he on
tiers there. With all our faults we are
the most home loving of people and
that is the reason why we are the
greatest Of people. Whatever helps
/ home life is q national blessing what
ever hurts home life Is national curse,
and the greatest curse that can touch
these blessings Is what would tamper
with the peace and blessedness Of our
homes.
