net Delighted with ''Our Navy"
as Presented in Howe's Films


Official Washington observed Wash
ington's birthday in way that was
unique. 1t was also patriotic and appri-
ate. Still more than that, it was very
instructive. Remembering that the
Father of his country had adjured his
successors 'In Time of Peace, Prepare
for War" they took advantage Of re-
markable opportunity to ascertain just
how the government was fulfilling the
unwritten law of preparedness. Itwes
the first opportunity of the kind that
ever presented itself, and, by strange
coincidence, it came at just the time
when the question" Are We Prepared"
is more momentous than at any time in
the nations history The opportunity
consisted of special exhibition start
ing at Hoo a. m, at the Columbia
Theatre in Washington, when Lyman
II. Howe presented the remarkable
films depicting every phase of the us.
Navy of 1915 from submarine to super

LATE THAN NEVER
viroqua Citizens Start Good Roads
Movement

A movement has been started asking
every citizen of Viroqua to make a do
nation in money 20 be used TO assist the
different road districts adjacent to the
city in grading main Travelled highways.
The trouble has been that farmers liv-
ing in certain districts have only a
small amount of road tag which they
h v subscribed themselves T h e
amount has been barely enough for
shoveling snow, to say nothing Of grad
ing and building up the roads. The
money will be used to pay one man on
grader, one man on roller, one man on
engine, and for gasoline. The city has
donated the machinery to do the work.
The districts where the work Ia done
are expected TO put in all concrete
bridges and culverts and to subscribe
an amount of G.oney equal to that rais-
cd by Viroqua people. Subscription
lists will be found at the following bust
ness places: C.E. Mullen, Wig & 0mund-
son, S. A. Sweger, Larson & Solverson,
DR.. VIM. M, TTowbridge. Everyone
interested in good roads shocld help
themselves by donating libere17. Al
ready over SlC0 has been saracribed,
and the Morrison road district has cheer
fully agreed to the proposition. OTHERS
are expected to follow suit Any ,ur-
Their information can be had at the above
named places.

KEEP WITH THE PROCESSION
City Council DEGREES for White. Way
Street Lighting System

Late action of the city council was to
take initiative and keep abreast of the
municipal procession as outlined in sur
rounding cities and towns, determined
on three blocks to be Illuminated with
the post system and clusters of three
lights. moderniy known as the white
Way" The estimate cost is to be 81
600 to 50, 500 There will be twenty
four posts on the three blocks covered
from Sides corner on the north to
Slack's on the south. They are to be
placed to best effect.
This system is to be established by
direct taxation. Considering the fact
that Viroqua has no outstanding indebt-
edness, it can scarcely be termed ex-
travagant when unreasonable up-to-date
betterment is installed. The effect
will be fine and not burdensome.

Found Dead Near stoddard

District Attorney Smith and Justice
Pollard were called up on Saturday
morning and advised of the finding of
a badly mangled body on the roadbed
of the Burlington line. Mr.. Pollard
went down in the afternoon, surveyed
the situation, had the mutilated remains
inferred in Stoddard cemetery. There
was little to idnentify the remains by,
apparently one who had been forcing a
ride on the bumpers" of car and fell
beneath the wheels. Apparently two
trains had passed over the body. He
was a man about forty years old. The
accident occurred short distance north
of Stoddard.

Cold Has Retarded Growth

A cold May has had a tendency to
promote a slow growth Of the tobacco
beds, so it can scarcely be feared now
that the plants will be any too forward
at the usual transplanting season.
Quite severe frosts. too, have covered
the northern growing sections during
the past week, but where the beds have
been amply protected, as is usually tie
case in this locality, probably but lirtle
damage has been done, though ice was
formed in many places. Since the
steaming of the beds has become so
common a practice, the tendency has
been toward securing too forward plants
and growers found they have been
crowded in the work of preparing the
fields and sometimes lose portion of
their beds because of the plants getting
too large for convenient machine trans
planting. 1t is hardly advisable to start
transplanting before June goth in this
latitude for there is ample time for ma
turity of the crop il transplanting is
finished by July LIST,

grounds, which proved a noted improve
ment. The band had prominent part,
never better acqritting itself, while the
quartet rendered patriotic selections.
