SOON CURRY SHORT HORSE
CIRCUIT COURT WAS LITTLE
MORE THAN A DREAM
Jury Notified Not TO Appear-Most
of Calendar Put 0yer-Three New
Citizens Admitted

Regular term of circuit court which
opened Monday morning was about
the shortest legal horse ever curried
in Vernon county. There were so
few cases of consequence to be tried
that by common sonsent the term was
brought to an abrupt end within two
or three. hours after converting, and
new Clerk White had no knotty prob
lens to solve and become familiar
with. Judge Higbee and Reporter
Harrison departed on Mondays after
noon train.
The jury men had been notified
that they would be excused from ser
vice, all cases under that head hav-
ing been, by common consent, put
over. The calendar contained 10
criminal issues, Ia actions for the
jury, II cases for the Judge Action
on most of them was postponed or
they were dropped. The Judge viii

AGAIN TRY To Pierce LINE
GIANT ARTILLERY ACTION TELLS
OF BATTLE TO BE RESUMED
Hindenburg Prepares to Continue the
Giant German Offensive on
the West Front

During the past week, the Allied
forces, by heroic efforts, stopped all
progress by the Kaiser's hosts in their
eat drive on the Western front. At
the deepest point in the wedge which
the GeTsaaus have driven into the line
OF Great BTitain's men, the Huns
made the most desperate efforts to
break through and capture the great
French railroad center-Amiens. At
least twenty-five divisions of troops
were thrown against this point in four
days, but our line holds firm-and the
enemy has made the most frightfuI
sacrifices without accomplishing any
thing of real military value so far in
the great offensive.
Today, the German guns of all cal
ibers are roaring from the sea 100
miles inland along the battle front,
and it is apparent that Hindenburg
is preparing to resume the infantry
attack again, regardless of the losses
the Boches have suffered. 1t is with
out question the critical time and turn
ing point of the great war--and our
Allies have so far demonstrated their
ability to keep their line intact while
using the smallest number of men
possible and keeping a powerful army
in reserve to use when the moment of
the counter-ataek is decided upon
American troops are engaged at
many points, cooperating with French
and British veterans. This is in ad-
dition TO those of our troops holding
the American sector on the right end
of the line.
French aviators have discovered
the location af the great gun which is
bombarding Paris and it is under the
fire of many batteries and bombs with
the result that its firing is very slow
and irregular.

cur YOUR RATIONS IN HALF

Food ADMINISTRATOR Hoover calls
upon the American people to cut in
half the peace time consumption of
wheat bread. In asking every per-
son to restrict himself to one and one
half pounds Of wheat -four per week,
Hoover pleads patient and loyal sac
rifice during the critical months ahead
when even more drastic steps may
be necessary. Prospects of greater
substitution are ahead, it is said. Re
tailers are to limit sales to town Gus

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 IL 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 e butter
fat. Such cream will keep sweet for
a longer time than low testing cream,
and the butter will sell for higher
price also.
