THREE ROUSING MEETINGS
FARM INSTITUTES ARE WELL
ATTENDED ~ COUNTY
Limited Number of Instructors Only
MISUNDERSTANDING Schools Were
Splendid Drawing Cards

The three state farmers Institutes
held in Vernon county last week at
Viroqua, Chaseburg and Ontario
calculated to and did arouse interest in
agricultural subjects and we believe are
paying investment for the state and
her varied industries The one draw
back to last week institutes was short
age of instructors and speakers Be-
cause of sickness and death the in
structional forces for six corps of work
ers has been reduced to an embarrassing
situation at times.
The Viroqua meeting, held Tuesday
and Wednesday, drew good afternoon
audiences and practical question and
subjects were discussed by Conductor
Griswold and Mr.. Irmie Four Of the
gentlemen whose names appeared on
the program were absent DR.. Porter
and other local men spoke and pro-
pounded questions.
The evening program brought out an
overflow crowd and there was no dis
appointment in that. The high and
training schools provided literally for
the program. The Scandinavian choruses
and male quartet numbers caused out
bursts of approval REGULATIONS by
Misses Rose Roman and Gladys Giel-
strip and ]. Mccoy and Elvin Riley
were highly creditable and appreciated.
Prof. Phillips of the high school, gave
a masterful and practical GRAFTON on
THE United States and International
Peace" It touched popular chord of
sentiment against the enormous expen-
ditures and preparation for war by this
and foreign countries. Mayor Lamont
of Wausau, spoke on the greatness and
future of Wisconsin, especially north
ern Wisconsin of the future. His tri-
butes to this commonwealth and her
industrial and intelligent citizenship,
were deserved.

The editor of the CENSOR visited
Chaseburg for day and evening dur
ing the institute there. OF tn meet
ing generally, our local correspondent
writes. Of the gathering we will only
say that il was most creditable to the
people of that enterprising village and
surrounding sections. Crowds were
large and interested. Since our visit
to Chasehurg on like occasion one
year ago, there has been no little pro-
gress in the place-new residences, bust
ness places and an apparent enlarge
ment and improvement all along the
line. The new pubic hall, owned by
August Groskopf, is a credit to the
town. As trading center Chaseburg
is certainly hummer, streets and bust
ness places being crowded That her
people are hopeful for future advance
ment is indicated by their plans and en-
courrging words.
