OLD MAIL ROUTES WIPED OUT
Viola and West Prairie Lines Discon-
tinued-Inconvenience to Public

Postmaster Smith has received d.
reactions from the wise department at
Washington ordering discontinued the
star mail routes between Viroqus and
Viola and that extending to West Prai-
RE. On the latter route thirty families
are deprived of their usual service and
must have their msil directed to Viro-
qua or West Prairie. Probabilities are
that readjustment of rural routes
and addition of another carrier will be
necessary to meet the lack OF service.
But that will not change the hardness
OF communication with towns and in
dividuals in the Kickapco valley.
"A trip around the world" is about
what mail will make under the new ar
rangement in its transmission from vi
roqua 10 Viola, distance of thirteen
miles. From here it goes to Lacrosse,
then to Prairie du Chen, then to Wau-
zeka, then up the Kickapoo line, making
nice little journey of $50 miles. What
a progressive old codger our Uncle Sam
is in these days of rapid transit and
wasteful methods That pretty well
illustrates the manner of transacting
public business, the hardness, too, that
goes with such extravaganza of proceed
ure. Thirty years age about ten daily
stages lead out from viroqua connect
ing all hamlets and towns within a
radius of twenty-five to fifty miles,
mail reaching all points quickly, giving
the people excellent service. Now a
letter can go to Boston and receive a
return reply sooner than il can be TAX
en- to Viola and back. The good SER
vice of the many lines we hSd thirty
years ago did not cost the governm emit
one-third as much as the nine rural
routes that now circle about Viroqua.

Reverberates among the rocks that pierce

While on the shores and through the

The stars and stripes midst freemens
songs are flashing 10 the breeze.
The woodsman from the mother takes his
boy upon his knee
And tells him how their fathers fought
ana BLEED for liberty.
The lonely hunter sits him down the for-

To think upon his country's worth and

Viroqua gave Cashton a big boost
in their celebration on Monday, large
numbers going by rail, auto and other
conveyances. The day was a delight
for celebration, just little cool for

sembled in Cashton WIS in attendance.
In rather one-sided game, Cashton
beat Bangor IS to 8. A large tent was
provided on the school grounds under
which the exercises were held, A fine
display Of fireworks was given in the
evening. More than fifty automobiles
from Viroqua made the trip.
The band boys made their visit to
Cashton in automobiles on Monday to
provide music for the celebration.

SEEKS AMERICAN CHILD
IN EUROPE'S WAR ZONE
Senator Lea Asks State Department
to Bring Boy Home to
His Parents.

A pathetic case, involving the separa-
ton of a seven-year- old American child
from his father and mother for an in
definite period, has been called to the
attention Of the State Department by
Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee. The
separation of the child from his par
ents is due to the European war.
Maxine Puel is the seven-year-old
American citizen in whose behalf the
machinery of the American State De-
partment has been set moving. Born
in New York city, this little boy is the
son of naturalized American citizens
of French birth. Mr.. and Mrs. A. l..
Puel are the parents of the child.
Last summer Mrs. Pue1 went abroad
to visit her parents in Homecourt,
France, taking the little boy with her,
the father remaining in New York.
After short sojourn at Homecourt,
Mrs. Puel left the child there with his
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frederic
Laurent, while she visited a married
sister at Nancy.
The sudden outbreak of the European
war, followed by the rapid invasion of
France by the kaiser's army, caught
those living in French territory near
the German border totally unprepared
for flight. So swift was the German
advance tnat the french 1TOnt1er Towns
were enveloped before the inhabitants
knew there was a possibility of war.
Homecourt is near the junction of the
Meurthe and Moselle rivers, and the
German army had quickly spread its
lines so that Mrs. Puel at Nancy found
there was no possibility of her reach
ing the child at Homecourt.
After period of anxiety the mother
left Nancy with other refugees and
two months later sailed from Bordeaux
for New York, where her husband had
meanwhile been taken seriously ill.
The condition of the Puels came to
the attention of friends, and Rev. John
Van Schaick of this city, VINO has just
sailed with his wife for Rotterdam to
assist the American commission for the
relief of the Belgians, was informed OF
the case Before leaving New York
Dr. Van Schaick called on Prof. Puel
and his wife, and promised to use his
utmost efforts to send the child home
He obtained written authority from the
parents. but now desires authority
from the State Department to bring
the child through the German lines.
The mother has had news that the
boy was still at Homecourt the last
week of December. and had been placed
| in German school.

HAWK SMASHES GLASS.
Specimen in National Museum Cap
tured While After Canary.

The division of birds of the United
states National Museum has recently
received a hawk which was taken in a
very unusual manner. The hawk was
killed in house after flying through
a window pane in an attempt to cap
ture Gagged canary. and was appar-
emily uninjured by its passage through
the glass. Tho specimen. which was
sent to the museum by Mortimer Lati-
mer of Hyattsville. Md, was identified
by DR.. C. W. Richmond, assistant cura-
tor of birds, as Cooper's hawk. one of
the few destructive birds of it's kind
In this region.
DIR. Richmond says that it seems diff
cult for birds to realize the presence of
transparent substances. He knows of
other instances in which birds have
performed similar feats, most of them
surviving their adventures.
