Getting suspIclous and cautious

The third promoter for the Ontario
Wilton railroad is working hard to get
the people Of that locality TO dig up
$40, 900 to build the proposed line. He
says he doesn't want cent of the $40,
600 until the road is complete and in
working order. The best possible sur
vey has been adopted and the right. Of
way secured. The people of Ontario
and vicinity have been held up so often
by dishonest promoters, they are getting
mighty hard to handle and fight shy of
every proposal. This new promoter
may get the matter Strengthened out
if he works long enough, but he has a
hard row to bee. Cashtou Record,

Last Friday at the City Park Taber'
nacle we're held the impressive exer-
cises which marked the passing of our
young graduates from school life into

only to extend greetings and congrstu-
lations to them but as 3 memorial to
the sacred place which our educational
institutions occupy in our hearts.
The program as printed in last week g
CENSOR was successfully carried out.
Revs. Cooke and Bayne in opening and
closing the exercises, gave impressive
pleas for divine guidance to the young
lives. Musical numbers throughout the
program were inspirational. Supt. c.
c. Bishop distributed the rewards for
oratorical, debate, athletic and educa-
tional work, combining with the pre-
sentation brief message of hope in
the class and the school, and words of
gratitude for the interest and support
shown by Viroqua citizens.
The address of the evening, deliver
ed by Edward A. OFT. was masterful
presentation of commencement few
flashes of oratory, a touch of humor,
nuggets of philosophy and wisdom, and
the basis Of the talk just trimming
over with practical truisms which il
Incorporated within any life and soul
win make for sure and certain success
of character and occupation.
A very large audisnee gathered on
Wednesday evening to witness the SEN
Tor class play shakespeare Twelfth

yes with great credit in the production

sMYRNA FnR ms SAY.

Sport Editor. EVENING JOURNAL,
We read in your columns OF Decem-
her 2. Clover's explanation of how
they won the game over Smyrna A. A.
10 is true that our manager, Professor
j.. 4. Section. refereed the game. but
he did so with the consent OF the man
lager of Glover
In reference to the field goal which
Glover made. We would state that the
whistle for time out had been blown
and the Smyrna guards, Lyman and
! Deakyne. had started off the floor
when Glover made the goal Formerly
/ Lyman had the Glover man closely
guarded. | would state that we are
well aware OF the fact that the ref
eree's whistle does not take effect on
play in progress at the time. | again
say that the rule book does not say
that in five-minute periods one team
has to be two points in tho lead OF
the other to win. The rule book says
that the team in the lead at the end
OF an extra fve-minute period wins
the game whether they have one or
ten points to the good There is a
rule. however. that a team must have
lead OF two points in order TO win
over the other but this is not so in
the fivc-minute period rule.
Glover signed Yours in Sport. Is
il considered the right kind of sport
when team criticises a referee in
the manner which the Smyrna referee
was criticised? This is the first case
OF this kind that we have had i'm our
five year basketball career even
though we have played many close
games. I think we can honestly sign,
Yours in Sport.
