The writer after reading the Star
Mirror editorial, made an experiment
last night, which might prove interest
ing in this connection. With COM
mon spade every plant in the park
ing around corner lot, a space not
less than 15x200, literally covered with
dandelion, was gone over and prac-
tically every plant cut off an inch or
more below the surface. The time re-
required was not to exceed thirty
minutes. This will, no doubt, not
destroy the roots, but 1t will prevent
the present crop of bloom from go
ing to seed, and by repeating the OPP
GRAFTON as often as the plants reapear
eventually do away with them. 1t will
at least prevent the scattering of seed,
and eventually, if practiced by all the
citizens, and by the city, where the
property owners live out of town.
eradicate the pest. At least such a
would, If generally observed,
do much towards minimizing present
conditions.
Whatever is done must be done
quickly, for within few days the
present bumper crop will be ripened,
and the seeds CARRIED by the wind to
the uttermost parts of the city. Why
not take Saturday off, and by offering
a few prizes, or paying a small bounty
to the boys and girls, enlist the chill
dren in the crusade?

ing condition existing in Moscow
should not be overlooked by the city
officials and the citizens. So serious
has the dandeion become that it is
now practically impossible to have a
decent lawn in the city, and from pres
ent appearances conditions will grow
worse. 1t is useless for few people
to attempt to do anything by them
selves. Where neighboring yards and
the streets are literally alive with the
pest, and in short time the air will
be filled with the seed, every lawn will
be still further seeded, and eventually
spoiled.

THE NEW GUIDE BOARD LAW
Town Boards Are Liable for Failure
to Erect Signs

The new guide boa.d law is a stiff
one. That It should be reasonably well
enforced goes without saying. An en-
ergetic campaign has been started in
many counties to compel compliance on
part of town authorities. The new en-
actment is chapter 402, as follows:
Sec. l. The town beard of each town
in the state of Wisconsin shall cause to
be erected before the first day of De-
cembIr. 1918, and to be kept in good
repair suitable and appropriate guide
boards on and along all main Travelled
public highways where the same inter-
sect with other main public highways
within their respective towns. The ex-
pense of the erection and keeping ia re-
pair of all such guide boards shall be
paid out of the treasury of such town.
Sec. = Such guide boards shall be
securely attached at the upper end of
a post set in the ground. and shall when
firmly set project seven feet and six
inches above the ground.
Sec. 3. There shall be painted upon
such guide boards in plain black Roman
letters not less than two and one-half
inches high, the names of adjoining or
important towns, villages or cities to
and through which said public highway
leads, the distance in miles of such
town, village or city from such guide
post, and any indication of direction
which will be helpful to the traveller.
Sec. A. Any person who shall deface,
lniure or destroy. any such guide board
shall be guilty ct a misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof shall be pun
ished by fine of not less than ten dol
lars nor more than twenty-five dollars.
Sec. 5. 1t shall be the duty of the
district attorney of any county upon
the receipt of written complaint sign
ed by any resident of such county alleg-
ing that the town board of any town
has failed or refused or fails or refuses
to carry out the provision of this Sec
ton, to make such investigation as may
be necessary, and if he shall find the
allegations Of such complaint to be
true, he shall forthwith notify the town
board in default to comply with the
provisions of this section, and il said
town board shall thereafter fail within
reasonable time to comply with such
notice and with the provisions of this
section, the district attorney shall in
stitute proper proceedings in court of
competent jurisdiction against such
town board to enforce compliance with
this section.

BAD ELECTRICAL STORMS
LIGHTNING KILLS LIVE STOCK
AND BURNS BUILDINGS
Howard Smith Heaviest Loser-Lars
Rusdahl Had Twelve Critters
Killed-Other Losses

Scarcely within the memory of any
nave mercer element disturbances been
experienced than within the past month,
IN this locality. The electrical displays,
peals OF thunder, winds and lowering
darkness have been unusually alarming
at times. With these frequent disturb
ances have come animal and property
loss, but happily no personal injuries or
death.
Howard E. Smith, Just without the
city limits on the north is the heaviest
lesser We have knowledge of. During
the downpour of Sunday night his large
horse, cattle and hay barn was struck
BY lightning and completely DESTROYED.
Fortunately all his dairy cows and horses
were in the pasture, only a calf and
dog perishing in the flames. With the
first flames of lightning the fluid an
peared to spread throughout the struct-
ure and little or nothing was taken
from the barn. Fifty tons Of hay, har-
nesses, grain, portion of his machinery
and the usual things that make up the
equipment of a grain and dairy farmer
were burned. Mr.. Smith saved his
milking machine, pumping machinery
and engine, milk house and siIo, al
though the roof was burned from the
latter. His barn was 100x50 feet, built
on concrete foundation and in many re-
spects was modern. Mr.. Smith carried
insurance of SO, 600, but his loss will ex-
coed that by considerable amount.
The rain and electrical bombardment
on Tuesday afternoon was severest of
the season, water falling in torrents,
while electricity flashed in all directions,
a M a nd 70 ha -
was a darkness that required house
lighting. 1t is too early at this hour
to learn details of the unusual damage
by lightning.
On the farm of Lars Rusdahl. four
miles northwest of Viroqua, in the omen
pasture, twelve head Of cattle were
killed Mr.. Rusdahl carried but 5000
insurance on the DESTROYED animals.
The hay and sheep barn of Ole l.. Oh
son, on the old Isaac Smith farm, a
mile northwest of this city, was struck
and completely burned. II was full of
hay and Mr. Olson lost some of his ma
chinery. His loss is partially il not
fully covered by insurance.
]. II. McLees lost a heifer by light
ming, the animal standing near a wire
fence in the pasture.
Unauthentic report is that the barn
Of Barney T. Jacobson was strucl; and
burned. He lives five miles nor ;heast
Of Viroqua.
One of the Lutheran churches at
North Springville was damaged by
lightning, the steeple being struck.
Electricity completely shattered a
chimney that extended from basement
to top on the residence Of G. P. Aspe-
lun in Franklin. Covered by insurance.
There are doubtless many other loss
es in surrounding country, but the CEN
SoR is issued too soon after the last
storm to receive information.

Much Ado About Nothing

A Lacrosse paper of recent date has
lengthy article concerning the alleged
negligence of Vernon county officials in
the burial Of Henry Saltzman on Goose
Island, the owner of the land Directing
to the rather informal proceedings and
claiming damage Of his property. II
would seem that his complaint is rather
tardy, as he was notified upon finding
the body and failed TO take any action.
Lacrosse county officials also waived
the issue when appealed to, leaving the
unsavory task Of disposing of the
badly decomposed remains o Yer
non county. While the law requires
burial permit, it also gives to the cor
oner the right of summarily disposing
of any menace opublic health. Owing
to the decomposed condition Of the body
which rendered its removal practi.
cally impossible, and the further fact
that the deceased had no relatives in
this country, it would seem that our
officials acted in good judgment and
within the law They have plenty OF
precedent in the matter, having follow.
ed the usual course Of procedure where
such conditions prevail. 1t is not YET
known whether WINNER, the owner Of
Goose island, will institute proceeding
for the moving of the body.

A Bold Hold-Up

Last Wednesday forenoon while Hen
ry Schwake, Jr., Of this locality was
returning to his home from delivering
cream here, he was met by foot-pad
whose face was covered with hand
kerchief and carried gun, and ordered
to deliver up his money. Henry hand
ed out quite a number of hard earned
dollars rather than being shot. The
amount taken reported between twenty
and thirty dollars. No clue to the rob
Der has as yet been ascertained. -Stod

SOME nav SEED

Haying time is here. If You don't
believe it, ask the farmers, Or, better
still, go out and help them and get a

There's lots of hay this year an abund-
ant crop. Do you know Wisconsin is
the best grass state in the Union? Do
you know il has more and better grass
than any other? Our pastures and
meadows are the best in the world.

Another Viroqua Girl Honored

Miss Zsna Cade, who finished in June
the work of Junior year in Lawrence
college, had the honor of being present
ed with the spade by the Seniors Of
that institution at commencement time.
The Senior class considered Miss Cade
the best student in the Junior class and
entrusted to her the keeping of the his
toric spade. We always feel proud
when our young people are able to car
ry off honors, especially when we know
that they are competing with repre-
sentatiYes of many schools.
