Jane and the Fairy

There was once upon time 4
woman who had very beautiful
little girl whose name was Jane.
Two years ago they were very rich
but one day a giant came and killed
James father and took all their
money, and now her mother had to
work very hard for a living. One
day as Jane was gathering berries
in the woods she heard a very
sweet voice calling and looking
around she saw beautiful fairy.
The fairy told the little girl to go
down to the river. And there she
should find beautiful rock. I'm
der the rock is the treasure that
belonged to your father. SO the
little girl did as she was told and
there she found gold and silver.
and diamonds and sets of all kinds.
She ran home and told her moth
er. And they gathered it up and
had a beautiful house built. And
after awhile her mother married
again. and Jane loved her step
father very much.
And when Jane got to be wom
an she married and had three beau
tiful little girls whose names were
Jane, Janet and Geneva. - Violet

The social, banquet and program
given by the Masonic fraternity at its

Stephens, T. o. Mork and Dr.W. M.
Trowbridge, denominated him.
The regular program of exercises
was given in the lodge room, with
Prof. A. f. Smith as master of cere-
monies. Because of illness C.J.Smith
was unable to make the principal adj
dress ito the older brethren. Col.
Butt, who was to reply, spoke serious
ly of the characteristics that should
constitute Masonic ethics. As the old
est living member of Vernon county
Masonry, he was qualified and licens-
ed to talk plainly on the subject. The
ladies' quartet, the Culver orchestra,
Miss Elizabeth Chase, Miss Lena Wei
mar and Stanley Side came in for
rounds of applause for the strong mu-
steal numbers.
Major Robert Merrill, member of
the famous 1920 fighting regiment in
France, was an invited guest at the
affair. He gave a vivid description
of the narrowing work of his COM
rades, which elected the keenest at
tention. Major Merrill paid fine
compliment to Viroqua and Vernon
county soldiers whose heroic achieve
ments were known. Elmer Davis was
his orderly most of the time during
his service abroad.
Following the program, dancing,
cards, billiards and pool held sway for
two happy hours, closing an evening

MR.. FARMER ATTENTION!

The following should be of interest
to you, as it is according to estimates
of the Department of Agriculture.
Estimated losses from smut last year
where no preeaution was taken, to
treat seed grain for this disease, were
25.500000 bushels of wheat, 100000
600 bushels of oats and 100000 bush
els of barley" The Owen Strut Ma
chine is guaranteed to eradicate the
smut disease from corn, oats, barley,
rye. etc, if used according to direct
ions.
You cannot make thorough Job
of treating smut disease by simply
dipping grain bags,it needs the scowr-
ing process produced by the Owen
Smut Machine. Several farmers in
the neighborhood should own one of
these machines together, and right
now is the time TO get busy about it.
