bers of the profession had no right
to pass this resolution as it looked
like an attempt to PREJUDICE the case.
Mr.. Ollie said the legal profession
could not afford to take the side of
the corporations as against the labor
ing man. -.
s. F. Glasscock spoke for the reso-
Tuition, saying that he had the utmost
confidence in the honesty and integrity
of Judge Dayton and said that if any.
one thought he was not honest they
should say SO. This remark brought
from Colonel G. W. Cramer the state
ment that he had practiced in Mr..
Dayton's court and had sen him try
two men for exactly the same offense
that OF bootleggfng, one poor ignor-
ant negro, and the other a man of
meanss The negro was found guilty,
sent to jail and fined; the other was
found guilty and fined and was not
sent to Jail, because, as Mr.. Cramer
believed, on account of the inuence
of political friends, and the speaker
asked the members of the bar to
draw their own conclusions, as to the
honesty of Judge Dayton. Altha War
man In short speech also opposed
the passing of the resolution. -
James R. Moreland opposed the mas
ing OF the resolution on the ground
that It was not a proper matter for
the bar association to consider and
that 1t ought not to pass an opinion
and thus seek to prejudice the case
He said that Judge Dayton had the
rigth to defend himself against speci-
nc charges the same as any man
would have 10 his cturt by the evil
denee, and not by he opinions of his
friends, and that the passage of the
resolution would put the attorneys Of
the bar association in an awkard DO
sition.
Prosecuting Attorney Charles A.
Goodwin said that he would vote for
the resolution but that he thought the
attitude Of Judge Dayton as to the
r1ghS OF organized labor was wrong.
and that In his practice in his court
Judge Dayton assumed the attitude
that he did not want to hear the evil
dence nor the arguments in, labor
cases but was, inclined to prejudice
and that his opinions against labor
mad, to say the least, been radical
Mr. Goodwin said however that he
thought Judge Dayton was honest but
not discreet in expressing his opin-
ions. Mr.. Goodwin cited cases in
Judge Dayton's court in which in
functions were issued and which the
United States court dismissed, say-
ing that the Judgment of Judge Day
ton was clearly wrong.
/ Van A. Bafrickman made a fiery
speech In which he declared that he
was in favor Of unfolding the judges
and standing by the courts, but that
he believed the time was coming
when we would have the recall Of
judges but not by the mob. He said

at length he glanced at the two man

Elkins and the other to Davis, who
live in those two castles yender. Soon
he burst into laughter and said:

history, but it is written in the bank

Say, Frank, is that a true illustra-

Yes, yes, Jimmy, in true colors.

FARM. STOCK AND DAIRY JorS

Vernon county fall pastures are in
fine shape. The late rains and warm
weather revived vegetation and affords
good feed for stock
The NATIONS menu must be made up
from the fields, pastures, orchards and
gardens, and to farm intelligently the
farmer must know what is needed.
An Avalanche correspondent tells
that Mrs. Ida Clark of Clinton, brought
wheat to be milled there. She is the
widow of the late Robert Clark and is
quite a farmer. She owns large
place and owing to lack of help has
been compelled to do the farming her
self. This year she raised acres OF
corn, 8 acres of tobacco, over 1000
bushels of small grain. MIXED ii cows
and fed so head of hogs, besides putting
up about 80 tons of hay. She does all
the work with the help of two small
boys, and 10 years old There are
few men farmers who have done more.
Stock shipments from Viroqua and
surrounding stations have been very
large of late, train loads going out on
both roads.
Former Governor w. d. Hoard will
be recognized for the distinguished
services to the cause of dairying by
Iunveiling of life size painting on the
walls Of the Saddle & Sirloin club in the
Union Stock yards, Chicago, during
the national dairy show. The present
alton will be made by the American
Guernsey Cattle club. Only two 9TH

thus honored
Wisconsin bee-keepers have complet-
ed gathering the 1914 honey crop. The
yield per colony of bees was IS pounds
In 1918 the production per hive was go
pounds. The decrease is said to he due
to shortage of wild flower crop this
season. The latest census hgurs of the
bee and honey industry of this state
relate to 1910. That year there were
10, 49l farms in Wisconsin that kept
bees and the total number Of colonies
was 5,638.

JUNGLE BILLY" AND HIS BOYS
Wisconsin Troops in the Historic
March to the Sea

Among the old veterans of this CITY
and county are a number who accom-
panied General Sherman on his famous
march from Atlanta to the sea. A late
historical publication of the state re-
lates that in Wisconsin today hundreds
of battle-scarred veterans Of the Civil
war are recounting to each other or
to grandchildren upon their knees, the
oft told story of Sherman's march to
the sea-" 1t was just half a century
ago that Uncle Billy" as the soldiers
loved to call their general, set out from
Atlanta on this most picturesque ex-
plot of the war. With him went 60
900 picked men, the strongest and brav-
est IN his army, and among them Wis
consin counted eleven fine regiments of
infantry and three batteries of artil-
lery. 1t would be an interesting task
to trace the record of each of these gal
liant Wisconsin organizations, but here
that is obviously impossible. Suffice it
to say that they were never missing
where duty or danger pressed, and on
many occasions during and after the
war Sherman proudly recalled their SER
vices.
The march to Savannah was by no
means as difficult or dangerous an un-
dertaking as has been sometimes imag-
med. On the contrary, it was FOR the
most part great autumn frolic. There
was no southern force in their path suf-
ficiently large to impede the progress
of Sherman's troopers, and the land
through Which, they passed was the
richest granary of the Confederacy.
Sweet potatoes, chickens, turkeys. and
honey were common items on the sol
diers bill of fare, and bacon and corn
meal were to be had in abundance. It
was Sherman's plan to consume or de-
stroy all the surplus supplies in Georg-
ia, which had hitherto gone to feed the
Confederate armies fighting about Rich
mond, and his soldiers were not loath
to obey such orders.
During the march not more than six
ty-three officers and men were killed,
and the Wisconsin regiments lost bare
ly half dozen.

Company, whicl, supplied the first num-
Der of the seasons lecture course Fri
day evening, is that Viroqua audience
has seldom been favored with higher

possibly might be composed of too much

selections from the best of the modern
popular operas, something but few of
those present have been privileged to
hear. The members of the company
show remarkably well trained voices
and their solos, duets and quartettes
were finely rendered, and the best of it
was they respond willingly to every en-
core. Their accompEnist, Miss Marga-
ret Day, was an exceptionally fine artist.
The soprano and baritone, the McKin-
mics, have been connected with the Saw
age operate Company and others form
erly connected with musical circles. If

there will be no reason for complaint
of the series selected by the lecture

of the automobile which Mr.. Proctor

sounded his alarm fifty feet away, again
when within twenty feet and had his
motor stopped before the man was

him over and did not run upon him.
He did not appear TO be seriously in

Value of Advertising is Three
Fold

The value of advertising is felt
at three ends-the merchant, the
consumer and the publisher.
Through the medium of his adj
vertisements the merchants ac-
quaint the consumer with their
attractive features and is himself
constantly in touch with the con-
sumner.
The consumer reads of the
goods he wants, learns where to
find them, and saves the time of
friutless hunting from place to
place.
The publisher is the go.be-
tween, the medium of communi-
cation between the buyer and the
seller, sort of public convent
euce. Strange as 1t may seem,
he, too, has his uses.
Advertising accomplishes more
good and better results for all
people than any other feature in
commercial life.
1t is a modern necessity, made
so by the constantly increasing
demands of a discriminating pub
lie.
