OF VERNON'S BEST SONS
OUR PATRIOTIC BOYS CALLED
IN TWO ASSIGNMENTS
Friday of This Week As Goa Week
Later 35-Dem0nstratiOns to be
Held in Their Honor

Uncle Sans call for Vernon coun-
tvs choicest sons is exercised more
frequently as the weeks pass, and the
toll will be larger and oftener as the
days lengthen. The anguish and anx-
iety that will naturally follow the de-
parture and absence of these sons on
part of fathers, mothers, sisters.
brothers and friends will be keen.
The present, like all wars in which
our country has engaged, is waged for
humanity and for the perpetuation of
equality. This Knowledge in way
lightens the measure of grief.
FOR NEXT FRIDAYS CALL
Forty-five young men viii assemble
in the county seat on Thursday and so
through the preliminaries for their
induction into Uncle Sans service
as soldiers in the greatest war the
world has known. They viii be en-
tertaped as have the other soldiers
who Nave gone in past weeks. At
ten o'clock on Friday they will en-
train for Camp Grant at Rockford
A program of patriotic exercises will
be given in their honor in the court
house, opening at $50. The public
is urged to join in the demonstration
and march with the new soldiers and
bid the following boys farewell at the

BATTLE ISAT STANDSTILL
GERMAN DRIVE is COMPLETELY
HALTED BY ALLIES
Indications are that the Great Push
Will Soon be Resumed-Our
Troops in Fight

After having driven two deep dents
INTO the British lines, the great Ger
man drive on the west front has come
to complete standstill, and no infant
r.y actions have developed for several
days. The Huns have not accomIish-
ed much of material value. The ter
rltory captured by them is not of Wit
al fundamentally not worth
the fearful price they paid for it in
to a million mem. The allied losses
dead and wounded ESTIMATED at close
have been comparatively light and
they claim that their reserves have
not been drawn upon to stem the adj
vance. Heavy artillery activities
predict that the Kaiser will reopen
the battle as soon as reinforcements
and material is in place. The allies
await the next attack with confidence.
Tuesday, British naval forces at
tackled the entrance OF the Burgess
canal, and sank several ships in the
mouth with the object of bottling up
TINS submarine nest. Ii is thought
that the desired result was obtained,
although they suffered severely from
the heavy fire of the enemy.
Especially picked shock troops at
tackled on the American Sc, Tor after
an intense artillery prelude and forced
our men to retire from their first and
second lines. Later the Americans
forced them back with heavy losses
and the action resulted in complete
success for the French and United
States troops engaged, although Ber-
lin in its usual campaign of misrep-
resentation claims that our boys were
badly outfought.

IMPOSED A SEVERE SENTENCE
Attorney James A. Peterson Will
Have Four Years in Federal Prison

In our last issue we announced in
dictment of James A. Peterson, for
mer Viroqua attorney, for conduct
and expression unbecoming a good
American citizen in these days of
world trouble. 1t is not pleasant at
this time to state that he has been
sentenced 20 serve four years in the
government prison at Fort Levens-
worth. Peterson had filed nomina-
ton papers as a candidate for United
States senator on the republican tick
ct in Minnesota, and his name is or
dered stricken from the lists. The
socialist candidate for governor in
the same state has also been convict
ed of similar offense as Peterson, and
will have term of five years to clear
his conscience and become patriotic
citizen if he wishes to live in this
country. If he does not he should be
sent back to the foreign land from
which he came.
Now if Wisconsin can be cleaned
up of Bergerism and his kindred spir-
it's the whole country will rejoice.
Berger is under indictment for prac-
tically the same things which Peter
son and his Minnesota socialistic COM
patriot rests. If all the small bore
politicians of Wisconsin and other
states who seek to ride in to Office or
retain public favor through the dis
loyal elements that exist the same
punishment should be melted out to
them as has been done in our sister
state of Minnesota.

speaker and paid fine tribute to him
as an ideal full-blown American of
German parentage,

A Y0IING WINTER

This section has been visited by a
SCI ond winter, and it was a fairly
good sample of the real thing The
mornings for a week have seen ground
On Saturday afternoon a snow storm
set in and it ceased not to fall till
fully eight inches had come down,
continuing till Sunday evening. Much
of it melted as it fell, giving the earth
a perfect drenching. The beautiful
has disappeared, but chill and cold
winds prevail.
Tobacco beds and seeded fields have
probably suffered some by the cold.
Artificial way of heating beds and
coverings have been resolted to.
