petermined to Holst Head Officers

Modern Woodmen everywhere are
sounding the slogan for defeat of pres
ent head officers of the society, who
were instrumental in attempting to
force the outrageous increase in rates.
The local camps will elect delegates at
the first meeting in February to attend
county convention to be held in Viro-
qua later Camps are entitled to ore
delegate for each rs members. Every
Woodman in the county should attend
the meeting CT his local camp at the
first February meeting and have a full
representation at the county convention.
The unhorsing of head officers can only
be accomplished by moral support and
determination of members.

Probably the best and most exciting
basket ball game ever pulled off in the
city was Friday night last between Viola
town team and Viroqua highs. At the
close the score was q 10 % in favor of
Virodua. II was contest worth wit
Messing, and it is more than creditable
to the home team that they succeeded
in holding down the big visiting sggre-
gatiOn. II is certainly a tall and heavy

in that section, having as two of its
members Omar Bonn. league ball pitch

others that team IN harmony. 1t is
their second game, indicating that when

they may become invincibie. We re-
peat that our boys deserve praise for
coping with these Viola giants. Prof
0rput and Gilman played with the highs
