$1,000 FOR DEFICIT
Increased Cost of Labor and Materials
Causes Shortage of Funds for
State and Federal Road Work

Pursuant to call, the Vernon County
Board of Supervisor met in special
session Thursday, being called to or
der by Chairman Dolen at 1890 All

of Whitestown, Marshall of LaFarge
and Smith of Viola. Dolen for chair
man and Bailey for viee-chairman were
reelected unanimously. The chair
man appointed the same standing COM
mittees as last year.
Clerk Berlie Moore read the call for
the special session, the laying out of
new road about mile in length
northwest of Westby to take the place
of a billy road. Supervisor Carter
moved the adoption of report of the
state and county road and bridge com
mittee with damages as awarded, and
the report was adopted and order for
laying out the road made and ni5d
A misunderstanding over the pay
ment of deficits in the road fund was
explained and adjusted.
Mr.. Thoreson introduced a reSolu-
ton commencing the federal govern
ment for appropriations for construc-
ton of national highways, and favor
ing d direct tax by the state to meet
its share, but that no increase in auto
licenses be made to assist in the pay
ment. Resolution was adopted and
forwarded to the legislature.
MIR. Bailey moved that the recording
of soldiers discharges be free of
charge; that the register return the
fees so far collected from soldiers was

voted this amount
On motion of Mr.. Lepke the board

VOTE FOR THE HOSPITAL

The statement has been made that
$4,000 hospital is beyond Viroqua's
needs and sufficient for a city like La
Crosse. That city has two leading
hospitals, each of which has expended
during the past three years 100000
each in improvements alone. The es-
timated value of hospital property
in the city of La Crosse is 81 SOC, 900.
Viroqua needs the $4,000 hospital
1t is an admitted fact that had our
local physicians the use of a hospital
at the time of the flu epidemic, it
would have very materially lessened
the number of deaths that occurred,
and less sad chapter of suffering and
woe would have been written. The
dollar phase of this movement must
not be permitted to eclipse the human
itarian phase. Like Martha and Mary
of old, each must serve. And do not
be led astray by arguments that we
need of this or that improvement first.
They will follow in due season. Let
us concentrate on the issue now at
hand, Vote for the Hospital Thurs
day, April 18th.

estimated officially as 116, 1872
dead and 205, 500 wounded, to-

DENIES THE LEAGUE WILL
BRING PERPETUAL PEACE

One rational democrat, at least,
speaks out in open meeting, as is
evidenced from the following
from the St. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat:
Former Federal Judge Henry
S. Priest, Democrat, who helped
to play the immense meeting
which Senator Hiram w. John
son, of California, addressed at
the Coliseum, Friday night, de-
clared the meeting was a great
patriotic tribute to a very great
cause.
Judge Priest further said:
The League of Nations is
subject of the profoundest i'm
portance that has confronted this
people since the declaration of it's
Independence question whose
answer will determine whether
we shall remain Independent or
or again submit ourselves to a
condition of vassalage and de-
pendence upon European powers.
Shall we survive or perish?
"We love peace as fervently
as we hate dishonor If we
could by ardent wish raise all the
peoples of the world to our high
standard of civilization we would
do so with the volubility of a
hundred million tongues. But
we should refuse with desperate
resistance 20 yield one jot or tit
tie of the happiness we have
achieved through our indepen-
dence to the martyrdom of a
lesser civilization.
1t is said the League of Ma
tons will make peace universal
and perpetual. This is a mere
prophecy with no omnipotent
power to. assure its realization,
and is discredted by the history
of the past twenty centuries.
The most powerful sentiment
that has actuated the most ad-
vanced civilization has beaten
against war for more than 1000
years without effect.
Our generosity and philan-
thropy is appealed to in its sup
port, We are asked to make sac
rifces that others may be bene-
fitted. What sacrifices shall we
make part with our conception
of happiness, sense of liberty
and justice, that others may
make us bondsm on to theirs?
We have set up n the pinnacle
of the world an example of liber
ty and justice; we have poured
out our treasures in benefaction
wherever distress, misery and
ignorance have found a habita-
ton; we have been the herald Of
righteousness, liberty and moral |
ity to the world. Can we justly
to ourselves do more?
1t is said if we refuse to be-
come party to the league, our
foreign commerce will be jee- !
pardized. This cannot be true.
