A WEEK OF ENTERTAINMENT
Lincoln Chautauqua Presents Program
of Average Merit

The third season of Lincoln chau-
tauqua has come and gore, leaving
the pleasant memory of evenings well
spent. Most of the numbers were
good, few very good, and some were
hardly up to what we feel ought to be
reasonably expected. Financially, it
was about an even break for the guar
antors. There is no certainty of the
return of the Lincoln system next
year Chautauquas are numerous
and it is possible we can be better
served by some other company at less
cost This should be investigated.
The lecturers were fully up to stan
dard DIR. OFT thrilled his audience on
Victory night, with splendid eloquence
and fire. DIR. Gordon was very we'll
received, Prof. Palmer the same. Hon.
J. Youdan and Miss Bessie Baker had
good messages, although rather ordin-
airy in delivery Anna ID. Olson's lee
ture on "The Higher Patriotism" was
very good. Princess Neawanna gave
an interesting talk on Indian life.
The feature of the instrumental
numbers was Chenette's overseas band
For ten-piece band they are worthy
of high praise, and thoroughly salts

opening his program he paid high tri-

that his reputation was generally es-
tablished throughout the country, and
that their concert would consist of
much higher grade of music than that
ordinarily played because this COM
munity was educated up to a loftier
plane of music through Mr.. Browns
efforts.
The Victory girls were very ordin-

vIcToRY4UMPnBgATsouR TEAM
Niroqua Loses a Fast Twelve-Inning
CAME TO 2

The Victory boys brought over a
picked team from along the Mississ-
ippi river and, with the aid of their
umpire and one Viroqua player, won
from our team in a furious twelve
inning game of ball. with a score of
to 2. The Victory umpire knew
nothing of the game, and his decis-
ions were so shameful that even some
of the Victory players admitted he
stole the game from our team Score
should have been | to 0 in Viroqua's
favor.
pet" Morrison, Viroqua boy Just
back from overseas, played with Vic
tory, made two nice catches in right
field, a hit in the End, and one in the
18th that won tht game for the river
boys. Their pitcher threw fine game
and the rest of the team were good
players. Their one-hand catch and
double play and other good work was
applauded by the fans, and it is to be
regretted that their clean playing
should have been so marred by the
unsportsmanlike attitude of their UNI
pire. In sharp and pleasing contrast
was the work of Viroquas umpire,
Lawrence Potts, who gave the edge
to the visitors at every stage of the
game.
Helgeson pitched a fine game, only
allowing four hits until the last in
ming when they tapped him for three.
Bunny made nice catch in the 9th;
Pat Garin a fine one-hand spear in the
18th. Fisher hit, stole second and
third, and scored on Schaffer's single
in che 7th. They gathered eleven hits
off the Victory man, but could not do
themselves justice because of rank
decisions on balls and strikes which
grew worse and worse as tne game
advanced.
On Sunday our team plays the new
ly organized Nelson Clothing Co. team
at the fair grounds. The Nelson's
are all service men, mostly of the 32d
Division. Future dates are: At La

BACK ON ABOUT OLD SCHEDULE
C. M. & St.Paul Sunday Train Re-
sumes Old Run

After nearly two years of suspen-
sion--war-s aving-the government d.
rector of railroads gave orders for
re-establishment of service for Sun
day mail and passenger train on the
Viroqua- Sparta branch, the service
opening last Sunday, train arriving
in Viroqua at 11:35, and departing
north at II 80, arriving in Sparta to
connect with east bound trains.
We have always doubted. whether
this Sunday train was a paying in
vestment for the company, and it is
certain that under government it will
fall below paying expenses of running.
But the patrons all along the line ask
ed for it and they have it. 1t is a
convenience they can appreciate.

The CROP PROMISES WELL.
TOBACCO MAKING SATISFAC-
TORY GROWTH
A Year Ago the Big Push Was On
Nothing of the Sort at Present
A Large Acreage

Just little dry for few days, yet
the waving tobacco plants have come
along in healthy growth We saw a
crop between Seas Branch and Ava
lanche that will be ready to top in two
weeks. Some fields have attained
such growth that they are past horse
cultivation. AS usual, there are fields
of very uneven growth. As a whole
the showing is better than most years
at this date
Prospective scarcity of help and ex-
ira prices of labor for the harvest may
have slightly reduced acreage as COM
pared with last season.
Conditions elsewhere are related by
the Edgerton Tobacco Reporter as fol-
lows: Favorable weather conditions
have tended to produce a very salts
factory field growth of tobacco and
corn the past week. With some ex-
ception, especially IN the southern Sec
ton, rain is needed and must be forth
coming soon or the crops suffer Sc
verely. As general proposition the
crop is far ahead of other years at
this date. A year ago buyers were
actively engaged in trying to buy the
crop at war time prices when the
fields looked nowhere near as favor
able as they do today, but there is no
incentive this year to repeat the ex-
pertinent.
Every day sees a few loads of 1918
crop coming to market, which gener-
ally brings very fair prices. The
cheaper grades are also selling at
moderate rate. There is quite por-
ton of the crop yet to be lifted.
Packing operations among the small
er concerns, who are .Ele now to Sc
cure help. are liable to continue for
some time"
July 1 conditions forecast produc-
tion of 5S,666,0 900 pounds of tobacco
in 1919, compared with 65,170,000 in
1918 and a fiye-year average of ST.
100000 pounds. The acreage in 1919
is estimated to be $4,000, as compared
with $4,000 last year and a fiye-year
average of 1880 acres. Condition
of the crop July / was 81 per cent,
compared with 80 on July / a year
ago.

TWO AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
Cars Come Together In Head-On
Collisions

On the dangerous curve east of the
Round Prairie school house, T. o.
Monks Buick and E. NJ. Jeffson's Ford
came together Thursday morning in
ia fashion that damaged both cars con-
siderably and bruised the occupants.
Mrs Jeffson sustained quite a bad
scalp wound from flying glass, and
Mork a sprained hand. The road at
that point slopes to the left strongly
and the temptation to hug the bank
is so great that a majority of the
drivers disregard the road rule of
keeping to the right-and Mr.. Mork
was guilty of this, the primary cause
of the accident. However, Mr. jeff
son was near the center of the road
and could have avoided the crash had
he swung to the left when they sight
ed each other Tom ran his car into
the bank, and Jeffson lost mis- head.
swung to the right and crashed into
him. L. NJ. Roseland, Luther Rumsey
and travelling mar We're with Mork
This is the second auto accident that
Messrs. RoselanG and Ramsey have
experienced.
A very similar accident occurred
Saturday at the Davis school house
curve west of town. Allen Friedrich
son of Nottingham ridge had just pur-
chased a fine Paige ear from Paulsen
Brothers, and his son Alfred was
driving it home Earl Sherry, driv-
ing a Dodge. Rugged the left bank
and struck him. Both cars were ira
Yelling at a moderate rate and the
damage was not so great as in the
other smashup.
Both accidents were due to the fail
ure of observing the road rule-keep
to the Right on the Turns With the
constantly increasing number of cars,
it becomes every drivers duty to ri
gidly comply with all regulations.
Accidents are eostly-and unnecessary
