SUDDEN DEATH TOWN TALK
FOUL PLAY OR SUICIDE FOR GE-
NOA YOUNG MAN
Officials Make Searching Investiga-
tion-Death from Natural but I'm
usual Causes in the Finding

AT the family home in the town of
Genoa, sixteen miles west of Viroqua,
on Sunday evening, Leon Davis, TWEEN
ty-two years of age, died under such
depressing and unusual circumstances
that the mother and community were
awakened to the belief that he had
either partaken Of poisoned food or
committed suicide by poisoning. De-
ceased was at home during the day,
ate heartily for breakfast and dinner,
but toward night was seized by vom-
iting, became unconscious and frothed
at the mouth, and died almost before
neighbors could arrive.
Officials were summoned and early
Monday Under-She Garrett, Jus
tice Fisher and Drs. VIM. and Charles
Trowbridge drove to the bereft home.
A jury was sworn and inquest held,
the physicians making a critical au-
topsy, finding that the cause of death
was acute Inflammation of the kidneys
and acute oedema of the lungs, and
that had medical aid been at hand
when the young man was stricken
there would have been no chance to
save his life. The jury's verdict was
along these lines.
The sudden death has caused much
sympathy for the bereaved family,
which consists now of the mother, Mrs.
Garibaldi Davis, and a son sixteen
years of age. The father committed
suicide five years ago. Interment was
on Tuesday in the community burial
ground.

A HEAVY THEATRE TAX

After November first when you go
to the movies you will be taxed 10 q
of the price of admission-10c tick
cts 1c, 15c tickets &c, zoe tickets &c,
25c tickets Sc, etc. The tax will also
apply to all passes or those holding
season tickets. They viii be taxed
according to the price of admission,
Just the same as those purchasing
tickets. When theatres charge a fiat
admission to include the tax it must
be understood that the price of the
ticket is that much less. For instance,
if the price Of childrens' tickets, in
GLIDING tax, is 10c, you are paying Sc
to the theatre and 1c tax. A 15c tick
ct including your tax would mean you
are paying t3c for the ticket and &c
tax Theatres are taxed 15c for each
reel used each day.
Manager Brown wishes TO announce
that he will reduce each admission
according to the tax, thus making the
movies cost you just the same as
heretofore. This means a big sacri-
fee on Mr., Browns part but, he firm
~ believes the public viii respond ac-
cordingly. This viii necessitate the
dropping Of Monday and Tuesday
nights and supplying strictly choice
offerings on Sundays. The Star is
expected to raise over 800 per month
by this tax.

DAY WITH VIROQUA SOLDIERS
A Business Man Spends Sunday at
Rockford Camp

While in Chicago to attend a con-
vention of Delco Electric light agents,
Mr. Chas. ]. Kuebler of this city, took
occasion to visit his son Walter at
Beloit. and together they spent Sun
day with our Vernon county soldier
boys in camp, where they found much
of interest, and the senior Kuebler
tells the Censor that it is worth the
cost of a trip there TO see what the
government is doing, and the man
ner End rapidity Of doing it. 1t is
ore of the most wonderful places he
had ever visited. The great embryo
.ity that now shelters and gives conf
fort to forty thousand soldiers is a
maryei Reconstruction and equip
inent, and while many things are yet
incomplete. there is nothing lacking
to meet the demands of the young life
that is doing its bit for the preserva-
tion of national and world freedom
The Kuebers had dinner with a group
of Viroqua boys and tell that il was
feast-composCd Of chicken, pota-
toes, fine bread ard butter, coffee and
pastry-apparen nothing too good
for Uncle Sam TO furnish his men in
arms. Mr. kuebler says there is no
complaint on inconsistencies in the
camp so far as he could discover
among Vernon county boys, but they
all long 10 see friends from home
Next to that they banker for delicacies
from home-cake, pies, cookies,
doughnuts, candies and the relatives
and friends should be mindful Of these
wants and supply them
Mr. Kue5ler confirms what every
body declares who has Investigated
an army cantonment-that the work
being done by the Young Mems Chris
tian Association is beyond estimate
for moral and physical betterment.
Speaking about conveniences in the
buildings and grounds, Mr.. Kuebler
says there is apparently nothing mod
ern that the government is neglect
ing to install for the comfort of the
men. For instance, the Delco light

CHANGE WAR SELECTIVES
GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES SIM
PIER ARRANGEMENT
Men Now Registered viii Be Ar
ranged in Five Glasses and Sc
leetiOns Made by Local
Boards

Provost Marshal General Crowder
has announced a sweeping change in
the machinery of the selective draft,
based on division of the 1900, 900 re-
naming registrants into five classes
in order of their elibility for military
service. The complete details of the
new plan have not as yet been given
out to the various boards but it is
known that President Wilson has ap-
proved the complete details of the
change.
As to the next call to colors is to
be made under the new plan. this as
surance is taken to indicate that the
second call is not to be expected be-
fore the first of the year, although no
authorltVe statement on this point
is available at the present time.
The classification of the men is for
economic reasons. The first class
will naturally include all those men
who can give no good reason against
being sent to camp. Class two will be
composed of the first line of married
men who have no real dependents. In
class three the highly skilled will be
placed as they may be necessary for
war industries. In the fourth class
will come the married men with many
children and the fifth class men who
might be called the "discards unfit
for military service.
The method of obtaining this infor-
nation is through a questionable" a
series of questions calculated to pro-
duce the information required. This
document will be mailed to every reg
istrant, not yet in service, on a date
to be fixed, seven days being given to
each registrant to complete and re-
turn the same. Every opportunity
will be offered to each man to COM
plete his questionable fully and with
out error.
The local boards will then examine
each QUESTIONABLE and assign each
registrant to one of the FIVE classes.

We thank the loyal friends who by
their support and cooperation have
helped maintain the egg market.
Owing to the fact that SO many of
the egg producers do not seem To real
ize that it is not only the few cents
more per dozen we pay but that we
compelled all the other egk buyers in
Viroqua to pay more for eggs because
of our higher prices, the egg market
has been Indefinitely closed. As soon
as we have the assurance of a more
liberal support by the farmers, the
market will be reopened.
