WHAT'S DOING AT OUR SCHOOL
Notes Furnished by An Enterprising
Student


The Senior class of the local high
school has decided that an annual will
be published this year, after two years
intervening without any regular year
book having been printed. The stu
dents seem enthusiastically in favor of
the publishing of such a book At a
meeting o fthe class on Tuesday of
last week the members Of the annual
board were elected They are: Edi-
tOr-in- Chief, Robert Nixon; assistant
editori--n chief, Mable Tuhus; bust
ness manager, Lloyd r. Moseng; As
sistant business manager, Margaret
Norris; advertising manager, Otto
Paulsen; assistant manager, Frances
anderson. Members of the annual
staff were appointed. They are:
Rhetorical editor, Franklin Knower;
athletic editor, Miles M. Dawson; So
cial editor, Donald White; humorous
editor, Eunice Roman; literary editor,
Velma Fisher; music editor, Lloyd
Moseng. Whether or not the annual
will be a success will depend to large
degree upon the advertising procured
for the publication. We believe that
every public spirited business man
will at least put a small advertise
ment in this year book, as such a
book tends to build up the community
and make the schools better. An aim
of the book will be to boost Viroqua
and try to get more residents for the
city and more attendants of the
schools here.
Monday being designated as Roose-
welt day, short program was given
before the high school, concerning the
late ex-president. The different speak
ers on the program spoke of the life,
tendencies, amusements and character
of Roosevelt. The speakers were
Kenneth Kuebler, Gladys Atkins, Ka-
Uterine Nix, Erman Keir, HugoThomp-
son, and Lawrence Grimsrud.
Two literary societies have been or
ganized among the girls and regular
meetings are being held.
Seats have been procured for one
of the rooms vacated by the training

STILL LOGGING ON OLD RIVER
De Soto Man Sells Timber From Tract
on Mississippi Islands


An important business transaction
which may prove to be a great bene-
fit to DeSoto in an industrial and bust
ness way was settled when n. Frey
closed a contract with the Booreum-
kemper Lumber company of Lansing,
giving them permission to cut $780,
600 feet of lumber on the lowlands on
the Iowa side opposite De Soto and
extending south.
With TIE great demand and short
supply of lumber now existing, the
Lansing company was very anxious
to obtain this new source of timber,
and they started Immediately to work
at cutting down trees. 1t is expected
that this viii require a crew of work
men throughout the winter. The same
lumber company has for the past year
carried similar work on the Frey land
above the piece now hargained for,
the process being to cut the trees and
form them into RATS, which were tow
! ed down river to the saw mill at Lam
sing, w. I. Tiedeman being employed
to guide the logs with his launch.
The logs are cut up into luwher, the
poorer quality being used for boxes.
| The wood is mostly maple, poplar,
and ash.
The Freys were partly influenced to
close the deal by the consideration Of
the benefit which would result to their
home village Of DeSoto in the en-
| plopment of men. They however, re-
served a stretch along the river lust
below De Soto, extending 100 rods by
200 feet deep. known at Power Court
Park, which they desire to leave in
its natural state to attract tourists,
campers, and picnic parties in the
summer, thus enhancing the reputa-
ton of De Soto as summer resort
De Soto Argus.

sTRoNG AGAINST BERGER

BY vote Of eight to one in the
committee in privileges and elections,
Victor L. Berger, the Milwaukee So
cialist elected to congress a year ago,
is denied his seat. He rests under
a twenty-year sentence to federal pris-
on because of reasonable words spok-
en- and written during the war. The
loyalty of Wisconsin might have been
seriously questioned had Berger been
permitted to take his seat without
challenge. His utterances since the
committee decision are of the same
domineering disloyal character that
brought him originally under subjec-
tion of the federal authorities. If
Berger and his socialistic kind are
permitted to go about the country
sowing their doctrines of discomfort
and treason it would be an i'll day for
good Americanism.

Washington. Nov. 15.-Director Gen

proximately TO S3oo0.00 a month.
The proposal, lad before representa-
tives of the hrotherhoods at the closing
session of the wage conference, was
taken under advisement. II was not
what the men had asked for. but their
answer will be presented to the director
general within the next 10 days, and IT
was considered likely they would accept.
Adjust an Inequality.
The increase would affect trainmen.
firemen, engineers and conductors, but
more particularly those employed in the
slow freight train service. In a state
ment tonight Mr.. Hines said, In order
to give an additional measure of COM

in the slow-freight service, time and
one half will be paid for time required to
make runs IN excess of what would be

however. that all arbitraries and special
