" HE Eighth cavalry Officers club

- with the army people In the
day time ii is a pleasant gathering
place for the people Of the post. and
the view both OF the city and the rid

army women may comfortably sit and
watch their officer relatives and
friends take hurdles and do all sorts
of fancy riding stunts. As a place for
dancing. the club is becoming so pop
ular that IL is very possible that hops
will be given twice a week through
/ the winter, instead &C only on We'd
nesday nights An informal hop is to
be given Saturday night as a sort Of

JACK FROST HARD MASTER
PAYS DAMAGING VISIT TO THIS
SECTION
Corn, Tobacco, Potatoes. All Garden
Truck and Vegetation Hard Hit
by Blighting Freezes

This section of the state was seri-
ously injured by the blighting breath
of Old Jack Frost on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday nights, and the damage is
quite general and heavy. All grow
ing vegetation has been seriously
touched and withered.
The worst loss the country sustains
is TO the corn crop. While some fields
were fairly we'll matured, the general
run was in the imperfect stage and
we shall have again this year much
soft corn. Frosts have withered the
leaves, but stocks are yet green, and
doubtless the ears will be bettered by
the warm weather we are now enjoy
ing Farmers have commenced in
earnest to cut the heavy growth and
silo filing will now be the order,
Tobacco loss is very heavy. Only a
small per cent of growers had com
pleted their shedding, and good por-
ton of the late matured weed stood
in the field when the freezes came.
Hundreds of acres we're chopped down
piled and covered on Friday, thus saw
ing it in fair condition. Probably
twenty-five per cent of the county's
acreage stood in the neids when the
frost came. Most of this will be har-
vested and sold for a considerable less
price than the good stock. Already
buyers are travelling over this terri
tory making purchases of frost bitten
tobacco.
The loss to this county on the farm
products is difficult to estimate. 1t is
certainly enough, and bad it is.

No feature in the art hall attracted
more interest than the corn contest.
Ten years ago the growing Of such
corn in Vernon county would have
been pronounced miracle. Only
when Jack Frost nipped last years
crop did we realize that corn has
taken rank as one OF our most impor-
tant products Sixty-eight entries
were made this year and the major
part of 1t was truly wonderful, high
scoring ears, showing more judgment
in selection than last year Ia this
respect we counsel the young folks to
inform themselves with the score card
points Of Judging Many Of the ears
entered We're disqualified because OF
blackened tips, swelled butts, irregu-
lar rows, shallow kernels, lack of uni
formity, mixed with other breeds, etc

FRIEND MUNSoN: Lieutenant But
tiers sent me telegram The day after

TO me, and~I-suppoSs get the news
as soon as some people in Vernon
county. For this continued NANTES
tation of confidence on part of the
people at home. ! am sincerely APP
preciative. / cannot by words or pen
express my thanks.
We start on the practice trip Satur-
day. We have been in hopes that We
would he ordered home before that,
but have about given up that hope
The whole division, consisting of d bout
$4,000 men, 200 motor trucks and a
large number of wagons will make
the trip and ii will be the biggest
movement of troops since the civil
war. The column will be about twelve
miles long The main problem will
be the water supply. Our boys all
dread the trip. not so much on account
of marching, as Is miles is the most
we make in one day, but we have to
eat cold food, drink warm water when
we have any,and sleep on the ground.
Each man has to carry his full equip
at the start, but doubles every hour
A man must have good feet and plenty
of nerve to make it, but the bapd
hasn't had man fall out yet.

any of his letters but the II or Is band

THE BAIL ToURNAMrNT


Viola and Viroqua crossed bats
Thursday afternoon in as fine game
as anyone would want TO see, one lone
tally bv Viola in the opening being
the only score made.
Considerable interest was manifest
ed in the football game Friday morn
ing, 1t being many years since an ex-
hibition of that kind has been seen
here. Amid vociferons roofing, La
Fargo team out-booted the Cashton
boys, II to 6-an evenly matched and
sharply contested game.
In the afternoon, the Soldiers Grove
baseball boys won from LaFarge 2 to

ished the tournament Saturday after

ponents and winning easily 3 to I.
Rain stopped the game temporarily
in the fourth inning
TIE NIGHT FAIR
Surely the night fair has proven it's
popularity and permanency, for in
spite of the bluest bedraggling wealth
er that ever vented its spleen upon
any agricultural carnival, the crowd
donned fur coats, mittens, rubbers
and umbrellas and came, the attend
ance seeming to be little If any be-
low that of the daytime. The white
lights shown, the bankers piled their
trade, the band played, the acrobats
pulled off stunts startling, clever and
funny and best OF all, the fireworks
scared, roared, sputtered and CLEANED
in cascades of fire and bursting glory
bombs that bathed the crowd in floods
of color too dazzling for language to
describe. Owing to a lack of electric
Juice the scintilator could not be
used, but the Martin company made
up for this by showing pictures of
Hughes and Wilson expensive, and
regular state fair pieces. A drilling
rain nearly spoiled the Thursday night
show, but the fireworks we're hustled
OF before getting too damp.
