Usual Bad Weather al Vernon Fair
Good Exhibits Considering the War and Weather-Ball
Games We're Splendid Contests Society
Will About Break Even

Two elements now make a fair
weather and automobiles. Bad wea-
Their conditions have never been con-
ducive to exhibits or attendance.
People win not now attend except
they may go by automobile. Fifty
miles distant is no barrier to fair at
tendance in these days of modern
travel People who own cars yearn
to use them, especially when the har-
vests are completed and they crave
holiday The fair is the natural
place to go, hence 80 per cent of fair
attendance is by automobile.
Too often, for profit, success and
pleasure, our fairs are associated with
rains and cold This year it was the
latter, and the experience was unfa-
vorable. Each day fur coats were ne
cessary to any degree of comfort. 1t
was so bitter that people braved the
elements but one day Thursday was
the only one that brought attendance
worth mentioning, then it was good
and crowd almost equal to the usual
Thursday attendance.
Notwithstanding this drawback the
officers estimate that receipts will
nearly if not quite equal expenditures.

Entries in fruit were 220, nearly

and a large increase over the last two
years. The showing Of apples, over

VIROQUA Sees WAR RELICS
WAR EXHIBIT TRAIN AT VIRO-
Qua SATURDAY NIGHT
Noted Speakers, Soldiers. Sailors. and
War Relics Touring the County
in Interest of Loan

| The war exhibit train, which is tour
! ing the country in the interest OF the
Fourth Liberty Loan, arrived In Niro-
| qua Saturday evening over the South
eastern line at about S:30-a half hour
late. It's arrival was greeted by the
city band, city officials and one of the
! largest crowds ever assembled in the
city of Yiroqua. 1t is estimated at
from 5000 to 5000 people
The train carried a crew of twenty
( two people Leroy Heron and Dixon
c. Williams, prominent business men
Of Chicago, managers Of the train
and speaker respectively; soldiers.
sailors. and train crew Armed guards
patrolled the trai 10 Keep off the too
curious ones while the rest of the
party ate a hurried but much appre-
ciated meal prepared by Mrs Asbjorn-
son at the Running restaurant Up
on their return the curio car was
/ thrown open and at the same time
Mr.. Williams commenced his address.
The crush of people around the car
was like a city mob. The guards
| formed a line and saw 70 it chat the
stream was kept moving through the
car. Thousands gazed upon the weap-
ons OF warfare - dirks, daggers,
knives, sabers, helmets, grenades,
bombs, mess kits. revolvers, rifles,
machine guns and what not Until
the train departed at nearly midnight,
the sight seeing continued.
On three fiat cars lay the wreck of
German plane in which three Huns
/ lost their lives, big shells, gas shells,
trench mortars, howitzers and French
rs nm. guns 1.-THE gun that saved YER
dun, shoots 20 times a minute, and
whose secret device has never been
discovered by Germany In the midst
of these gentle devices while armed
guards paraded back and forth, Mr.
Williams let loose his "cuss battery"
and it would be indeed mild to say
that his language was in Keeping with
his surroundings. But these times
demand strong language. and his blue
vitrol filings at the Pots-dam crowd
were hugely enjoyed and heartily sec
onded by the thousands who paid the
closest attention throughout the long
speech. Taken altogether-the sol
diers, the war paraphernalia, the adj
dress, the reason for the gathering

SAVE CLOTHES FOR BELGIANs
Ten Millions of Human Beings Are In
The Most Dire Need

Behind the gray line of unspeakable
Huns which has cut Belgium and north
ern France off from the rest of the
world since 1914 are ten million hu-
man beings-people who for the sake
of civilization have suffered the most
horrible indiguities and privatlons
that have fallen to the lot of any peo-
pie at the hands Of supposedly civil
lied human beings. Those once veal
thy are in keen want, and the cOndi-
ton Of the common people is past be-
lieving. Only one agency can reach
them-the Belgium Relief Commits
sion That body appeals to the great
generous heart of America for cloth
ing of ali kinds. Winter is coming on,
and these garments will stand between
the death Of many of those people,
for fuel is almost unknown and their
food is hardly fit for the animals.
The minimum quota for Vernon
county is 2S15 pounds-there is no
limit in the other direction. No rub
Der goods are wanted. Clothing and
shoes Of all kinds and sizes for all
ages Of both sexes is wanted. AL
most any family has few garments
which may have been east aside but
