TELLS WAR STORY TO MANY
Private LOCKER is Greeted by Good
Audiences at Different Points

Private Arthur LOCKER, who is Civ
ing such graphic and touching talk
on his narrowing experiences in the
Lost Battalion, has had fair attend
ances at the numerous places where he
has spoken. The climax was at Hills
boro, Tuesday night, where over 500
tickets were sold The lecture was
under auspices of the WAR MOTHERS.
Owing to the extreme weather Mr..
Lockers lecture was not as we'll at
tended as it should have been in the
Methodist church in this city, Mon
dav evening. Since his presentation
here a few weeks ago he has enlarged
and embellished his subject, and with
the large descriptive map and chart
which he shows is able to bring the
narrowing review of his experiences
more wildly before his hearers.

BODY WAS INCINERATED
GENOA TOWN MAN BURNED
WITH HIS FARM HOUSE
Supposed to be a Case of Defective
Chimney-Mr.M undstock the Vic
tim-Aged Man

The remains of August Mundstock
were found in the ruins of his house,
which had been destroyed by fire, by
his neighbors, Charles Drifting and
Will Applebee, on Tuesday night, De-
cember 2. An inquest held by the
coroner determined that the cause of
his death was accidental, resulting
from a fire which was caused by a
defective chimney.
Mr.. Mundstock had spent most of
life on the little farm near Genoa,
where he met his death. He was re
spected by all who knew him as a
man, upright and honest in all his
dealings with his fellowmen. In his
later years he was assisted by his
neighbors, who made his last days as
comfortable as possible. He was eighty
years old at the time of his death. His
tragic end was a great shock 20 his
daughter, Mrs. Tom Waller, when the
news was brought to her.
The funeral was held Saturday, the
remains being laid to rest in the Will
lenberg cemetery.-DeSoto Argus.

COALSITUATION IS BETTER

Wednesday last, an agreement was
effected between the government, the
operators and strikers, looking to an
immediate resumption of coal mining
a most of the operating points
throughout the country. This is GER
tainly welcome news for all classes,
because of the desperation needs CT
individuals and the public generally.
1t is understood that the basis of
agreement is an increase in pay of IA
RI over old schedules, whereas the
strike was based on a demand for 60
per cent raise, six-hour day and five
days a week.
1t will be some time before normal
supply of coal is provided so emp
ty had become the bin Of city and
country. 1t is a sincere satisfaction
to realize that the crisis has passed.

BAD INTERNAL DISsENTIONS
National Equity Society. Like the
State Association, Unhappy

Judge Mahoney and f. j. Jennings,
last week, represented Vernon county
in the annual National Equity Society
convention held at Madison. ]. II.
Carnahan, of Black River Falls, we'll
known in this county, was chosen
national president by fraction of a
vote, after heated contest. The pa
pers report, and the local delegates
repeat that the convention was an in
harmonious gathering, the factions,
the separating line, being Tittemore
and anti Tittemore.
With the unhappy differences now
exhisting in the state and national
organizations the Equity society can
hope for little of the cooperation and
good team work that has prevailed in
the past. 1t is to be regretted, for
much benefit has been derived in diff
ferent directions by the members.

Renovation of Edward Lind's build

what virtue there is in little paint,
varnish and alterations. The two bust
ness rooms are as neat and bright as
could be desired A modern furnace
with thermostat control heats the
place, while new skylights nicely pro-
vide for the lighting. Mr. Lind has
laid in a much heavier stock of the
"Wear- U-Well" shoes, and retains the
services of Robert Kendall as assist
ant. He has also added to his al
ready very modern machinery and is
finely equipped to handle everything
in the line of shoe repairing. Ed.
Harrington shows a new and highly
desirable stock of jewelry, etc.
