Where tho angels are whispering, come,

Mid the loys Of heaven wen meet her,

FAILED TO WIN OUT
Visitors Garry off Honors in League
{ ratorical Contest

The annual league oratorical contest
between Sparta, La Crosse and Viroqua
schools was held in the high school audi
torium Friday evening. Three repre-
sentatives from each school were on
the program. First place was taken
by Guy JOllivette who spoke 1.-The New
South" while the second went to Ed.
ward Webb, also of La Crosse, with
The Power of Love. " Tie young
men both did excellent work and are
fairly entitled to the places the judges
accorded them. We take off our hats
to you. La Crosse, and promise you a
better fight next time. The Judges were
Professors Berhardt and Denoyer of La
Crosse Normal and Principal Godfrey
of Westby. The Viroqua boys in the
contest were Lawrence Brody, who
spoke the "Plea for Cuba, Milton
Davidson, Race Problem in the South
and Joe Roman with ''Touissant Low
erture."
The boys who entered the contest but
did not make the team are prepa ring
for a second contest to be held ssne
time Friday. They are training vigor-
ously this week under the care of
Sheafor and Phillips. A good program
is assured. This affair will probably be
held some time Friday.
Miss Thomas and Wade Harrington
played several piano duets which were
much appreciated. The Viroqua quar-
tet sang two of their finest selections
during the evening and Prof. Colburn
presented musical setting of The
Village Blacksmith.

TELLS COUNTY PROSPERITY
kiore Than Three Million Dollars in
Bank Deposits and Assets

Official bank statements just made
public are of some consequence to our
people as telling the financial status,
very accurately, of the county. Seat
tered as are these banking institutions,
they record in a fair measure the sur
rounding prosperity of citizens, for it IS
becoming habit, and rightly so, for
people to do their business through their
home banks and keep whatever surplus
earnings they may have there. A
checking account teaches people bust
ness methods and economy. The funds
in these Vernon county banks is largely
farm money, both capital stock and de-
posits, for as general rule business
men are borrowers at banks.
The showing made in the twelve
banks of the county is a splendid au-
gury for our prosperity and thrift as
people. Following are the figures:

The above is picture of young
man we all have occasion to be proud
of and admire, Harold G.. Eckhardt,
VINO won distinction for himself and
this community, where he has long
lived. Harold was elected president of
state university Senior Glass; place al
ways coveted, but scarcely ever attained
outside of some fellow who has always
nursed silver spoon. II is creditable
to the student body that they made
choice of one so worthy and of such
high character and self reliance. Har-
old is eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs Geo.
w. Eckhardt, graduate from Viroqua
high school, born in the town of Wheat
land twenty-four years ago. When his
university education is completed next
month he expects to take up the study
of law in that department of the same
institution.

lis has large buildings and grounds,
scam heated plant and incubators.
The capacity for Matching and brooding
is almost limitless. With such an ex-
tensive and expensive plant Mr.. Tobias
ought to do well and make success
