IMPORTANT MATTER TO KNOW
Creamery Directors Lay Down New
Rule for Delivery

The late law demands that all by
products from the creamery must be
pastuerized, which means that the
cream must be, pasteurized The
board Of directors of the Viroqua
creamery company have passed the
following rule: That all cream must
be at creamery by II o'clock noon,
1t is no farthur to the creamery in
the forenoon than afternoon, and the
cream is better delivered in the morn
ing during warm weather. The pa
irons, as well as the creamery, are
lOosers by handling cream low in test.
Cream should test around 80 60 butter
fat. Such cream will keep sweet for
a longer time than low testing cream,
and the butter will sell for higher
price also.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Former Congressman, Samuel A
Cook, died at his Menasha home. He
was a most generous man, an old sol
der, farmer, manufacturer and ex-
congressman. On two or three occas-
ions he was candidate for governor
and United States Senator; former
state commander Of the Grand Army
of the Republic.
Official and complete returns give
Congressman Irvine L. Lenroot plu-
rality Of 1921 over Joseph E. Davies.
democrat. for United States Senator
Berger, the radical Socialist of Nil
waukee received about 10000 votes,
and we regret to report that AIS of
that total were given by Vernon coun-
ty voters. Lenroot's vote in the coun-
ty was 2,422, Davies 1887, Berger
ATS.
Berger no more represents the in
dustrial people of Vernon county who
voted for him than does the most
pronounced profigate spender and
non-producer in the country. He works
only with his nimble jaw. He has &C
complished nothing in this life except
unrest and idleness. The Berger
strength as shown is in opposition to
continuance of the United States in
the war. 1t represents also the radi-
cal LaFollette following and the pure
ly socialistic element. Why, we ask,
in the name of all that is sacred and
patriotic, should ATS industrious, lib
erty-loving people of Vernon county
vote for a socialistic candidate for
United States Senator man who
now rests under the stigma of indict-
ment for alleged disloyalty to his
country. Yes, we repeat, why?
The total vote of the state demon
strates that Wisconsin is loyal to the
government and the boys who are at
the front fighting the battles for
world humanity. Seventy-five per
cent of the total was cast for the two
loyal candidates for United States
Senator. In future tests the patriotic
strength ought not to be divided. 1t
is possible that might have been ar
ranged in the late contest except foI
the unseemly interference of admin
istration office-holders at Washington
If they will but profit by the results
of the late senatorial election it will
be good thing for the cuase of a
united people along genuinely patri-
otto lines of action.
For supreme court justice, the pres
ent encumbent, Judge Rosenberg, de-
feated LaFollette's candidate, C. H
Crownhart, by 53,537. There was not
the slightest reason why Judge Ros-
enberry should have had opposition
under a non-partisan judiciary. II
was simply a belief on part of the

OUR BOYS MAKING FRIENDS IN

Francis Rogers, of the Vigilantes
writes as follows
Our soldiers were welcomed in
France last July when they first land.
cd, bringing with them the tangible
evidence of Americas military par

tainly have not yet worn oul their
welcome. In the towns and villages
where they spent the winter they
made a good impression. Some of
them misbehayed, to be sure, but
most of them succeeded in winning
the good will and respect, often the
affection of the natives, 10 whom they
brought not only a certain amount of
commercial prosperity after three
years of everincreasing poverty, but
also the moral support Of their good
will and friendliness.

walking through the streets of Toul,

do without you"
At Easter l was passing through
village where the Rainbow Division
had until recently been quartered.
Several of the natives enquired eager

asked us when they were coming
back. One middle-aged farmer said.
Il miss those boys as if they were

come to my house and help me with

TENNYsoN's VISION.

Tennyson wrote his "Lookeley
Hall eighty-six years ago The
poets vision of some of the wonders
of the modern world has already
come true. Many years before man

imagination the great bard,
dipped into the future, far as
human eye could see,

ing, and the rain CHASTITY dew
From the nations airy navies crap
plng in the central blue;
Ear along the worldwide whisper
of the south-wind rushing warm,
with the standards Of the peoples
plunging thro the thunderstorm.
A more vivid picture of the scenes
today transpiring over the battle
fields of France could scarcely have
been drawn But the poet saw still
further into the future, his fancy car
rying forward to the period,
"Till the war-drum throbbed no long

''And the kindly earth shall slumber

American and her allies are now
battling to bring about the fulfillment
of the latter part of the poets
prophecy. Pres ident Wilson has
stated the principles which must pre-
dominate in the final settlement of
the controversy involving the great
nations and it is certain that what
ever else may feature in the final
outcome of the terrible tragedy,
somthing like Tennyson's "parliment

future the Federation of the World !

such latent Savagery as may survive !
