Is But One Of Very Many

Certain Viroqua politicians seem
much worried because the County of
Vernon has received, without ordering,
from the progressive government at
Madison a new set of books for the
asylum, weighing abcur so pounds, and
costing some $500, which nobody can
keep and which will De thrown away.
This is modernized reform. Our Sena-
tor Teasdale introduced the bill, if we
remember correctly, numbered So, ses-
sion of 1911, and the experts have been
working till now to get the set of books
down to them. 1t goes without saying
that Senator Teasdale will try and con-
vince US of the great reform" he ac-
complished in this respect. -Cashton

A CENTURY FOUNDATION
TO PLACE CORNER STONE OF
NEW CHURCH
Sunday Next is Date Set for the Big
Eyent-viroqua's Fourth Mett..o-
dist Horse of Worship

Viroqua's new Methodist .'meetin'
house, although decidedly slow in con-
struction because of bad weather and
shortage of materials, has progressed
to that stage where the formal corner
stone laying will be performed next
Sunday afternoon, which viii doubtless
be the signal for large gathering Of
churchmen and others. It is thefourth
edifice of that denomination to take
form since early pioneer days. In di-
mentions, architecture, materials ard
convenience it will be a model church
home, in fact no finer one is in all west
ern Wisconsin in q small city.
Concerning the days services there
is not yet announced definite program,
but it will be day of interest. The
ceremonies of corner stone laying will
be under supervision Of District Super
intendent L. A. Bremen, held at three
O'Clock. Evangelist Phelps and his
singer will take part, together with all
the surrounding pastors whose duties
will permit of their being present.
The general public is invited to join
in this important church event and 9TH
er exercises of the daS.

SPARKS FROM THE MENTAL DYNAMO

Few men recognize good luck when
they meet it.
The perfect husband always belongs
to another woman.
When it comes to falling in love, a
girl is equal to the occe zion.
It is easier to apologize to big man
than TO little one.
Most of the free advice is handed out
by people who want TO get rid of 1t.
One secret OF SUCCESS is to pretend
to be happy and prosperous when you
are neither.
If we don't soon have another war
some of the clerks in the pension Office
may be thrown out of work.
Do you know where the candidates
who aspire to represent you ir the leg
islature stand on the all-absorbing ques-
ion-greater economy in public admin
istration and lessening of burdensome
taxation? If you don't you better find
out. Any candidate who is unwilling
and fails tc make plain, positive pub
lie declaration before the primary is
unworthy of your support.

The boys. according to the juvenile

would like to have a playhouse all
their own. and decided it would be
easier to have someone else furnish
the paraphernalia than it would be
to save their pennies and buy the
necessary materials. They picked
