VIROQUA Wins End GAME
DEFEATS DE SOTO BY SCORE
OF 10 TO 2
Connect With Indian Pitcher for Six
Runs in the Sixth Inning
Get II Hits

Before a crowd of fully three hun
dred people, Viroqua'S crack base ball
team trounced the DeSoto boys to the
tune of 10 to , at the fair grounds
Sunday afternoon.
Our team handed the visitors two
runs in the first inning. After that il
settled down to pretty battle with
neither side scoring until the fifth
inning. Then our stiekmen commenc-
ed to find the dusky redskin twirler,
Jim Brown, who was pitching for De-
Soto. Niroqua forced one run across
and had the bases full but could not
score further. In the sixth they start
ed the merry go-round, aided by poor
work on the part of DeSoto's left
fielder, batted clear around and six
runners planked the feet on the home
plate. They added one in the sew
enth and two in the eighth, dropping
the ninth, getting fourteen hits off the
warrior.
One of the games features was
Bray's magnificent one-hand catch in
right field. Rabbit pitched a splend-
id game, being at no time in danger.
He filled the bases in the ninth and
then held them Just to show what he
could do. Curtis caught a fine game.
Paul Garin was at the bat five times
and made four hits. Kjos had two
turns with the club and leaned against
two hits that no fielder could connect
with. Taken altogether, Viroqua prob
ably has the strongest amateur team
in its history.
The DeSoto boys were a gentleman
ly lot,good players, and we'll free from
beefing over close decisions. The In
dian pitcher threw a fine game. He
had a wonderful curve with a pretty
break. But our boys were little too
much for them. Editor Copper ac-
companied the DeSoto delegation.
Next Sunday our boys cross bats
with Soldiers Grove at the fair
grounds, and hope that the crowd will
be even larger than last Sunday.

VERNON IS AT The HEAD
LEADS THE STATE IN NUMBER
OF JERSEY BREEDERS
Sixty Progressive Vernon County
Farmers Are Registering Jer-
sey Cattle

1t is a pleasure to live in a county
that is first in something. Vernon
county is first in the state in having
the largest number of Jersey breeders.
There are 60 farmers in Vernon coun-
ty at the present time who are reg
istering pure bred Jerseys. We should
increase that number to a hundred or
more to be sure TO make this county
the Jersey Center of the United
States. We must stay by what we
have and increase it as changing
about always stops progress. Our
county is large, rich, fertile and pros
porous enough to be first in many
more things. But to do that we
must let go of the things that are
holding us back and grab the things
that will pull us forward Get rid Of
that Scrub Bull whose blood is not
the kind that will make you prosper
and in turn make the county prosper.
Frank Zitzner only last week stated
that the grade steers he has are very
much better than his scrubs of the
same age.
The Guernsey breeders the Holstein
breeders, the Shorthorn breeders-yes
all live stock breeders should aim to
make Vernon county first, like the
Jersey breeders have, and then let
the state and Nation know about it.

A much-needed overhauling and
renovation of the seat of our county

form. The addition erected for the
county judge about fifteen years ago,
and which has not been cleaned up
since being built, has been scrubbed
and Mr.. keoppe is adjoining the same

Fine new furniture has arrived and
been installed in the county treasur-

the register of deeds This also will be
continued throughout the building,
and new floors, doors, windows, roof
and front are contemplated and sure
ly needed.
The last day for receiving bids for
construction of barn, coal bin and
tunnel between the Jail and court
house was last Friday, and no bids

GERMANS sign THE TERMS
ACCEPT TERMS BUT PROTEST
"HARSHNESS"
German Crews Open Sea Cocks and
Sink All Surrendered Ships

The state department was officially
notified on Monday that the Germans
would sign the peace treaty formulat-
ed by the allies, although vigorously
protesting against the "harshness" of
its conditions. The signing of the
document viii probably take place on
Friday, bringing TO close the
long period of uncertainty since the
armistice was signed. By every arti-
flee known 10 man, the Germans have
ondeavored to secure modification of
the terms laid down by the victorious
allies, but the concessions have been
only of minor and inconsequental
nature and she must pay the penalty
of her high crime.
At nearly the same time as the Ger
man government voted to send new
delegates to the peace conference to
sign the treaty, the crews on the sur
rendered German fleet in Scapa Flow
England, opened the sea cocks and the
magnificent vessels which were so ig-
ANONYMOUSLY surrendered sank in a
short time to the bottom of the sea.
Only one battleship and about twenty
destroyers were saved. All other
German war ships not yet turned
oven % the allies suffered the same
fate. 1t is a most lamentable loss
of property, but possibly is blessing
IN disguise, as the vessels were a bone
of contention and could never be dis
posed of to the satisfaction of all the
allies.
