WILL SOON BE SAFELY HOUSED
Tobacco Harvest Well Nigh Complet-
ed This Week

Not within our remembrance have
Vernon county tobacco growers been
favored with a longer or better har-
vest season than the one now closing.
All conditions worked to their salts
faction, and if present favorable cutt-
ing and shedding continues through
out this week practically the entire
big acreage will have been housed.
The chilling breath Of Old Jack Frost
has caused Fastening speed for ten
days past, but in no quarter are we
advised that leaf has been damaged
by frost
The drought of July and early Au-
gust caused stunted growth in some
fields, but fine rains later brought
forth amazing development and as a
whole we may truthfully refer to the
1919 crop of Vernon county tobacco
as the greatest in acreage and not in
ferior in quality TO the best we have
produced. Now that curing eondi-
tions are ideal there ought to be no
questioned good financial rewards and
returns. Up to date no effort has
been made TO secure options upon or
buy crops. Both buyers and growers
appear to be content to have thor
ough demonstration of the policy of
buying and selling when the weed is
cured and ready for delivery.

WINNERS AT STATE FAIR
VERNON COUNTY SWINE BREED
ERS AT THE FRONT
Mike Stohrer and County Asylum Du-
roc Pens Recognized-The County
Booth Exhibit was Credita-
ble-POints for Future

Vernon county has never had much
| of an exhibition at the state fair, but
| the late fair furnishes encourage
ment that in future we may be count
ed among the counties that desire to
let the light from under the basket.
! A reasonable starter was made in live
stock and field and garden products.
! Agent Graf had a booth of products
by number of people throughout the
county, the outstanding feature being
a large display of cured and green to-
bacco. The new growth was furnish
ed from the farm of c. W. Moore, the
cured case show from local packers
here. Above the booth, in large let
tiers woven into shape from cured to-
bacco appeared the words, Vernon
County" In the exhibit were forty
| different things cereals grains, grasses,
! fruits, vegetables representing thirty
farms, Tennis and Stanley Sebion of
Jefferson, furnishing the greater num-
Der of articles.
In live stock George Lee of Hills
boro showed Guernsey in the state
calf club exhibit Mike Stohrer. and
Superintendent Neprud of the county
asylum, made shipment, each showing
twenty Duroc Jersey swine, and the
best of it is that they carried away
premiums from a thousand hogs
shown in their breed Stohrer's man.
moth brood sows and boars, approach
ing half ton in weight, attracted at
tention of all visitors to the swine
department. Their winnings were:
Stohrer: First prize for sow under
s months, open class; first prize for
spring SOW, state futurity; second
prize for litter of pigs, state futur-
ity; third prize for sow months and
under one year, by Wisconsin state
fair; fourth prize for aged boar;
fourth prize for boar and sows under
year; fourth prize for spring boar.
state futurity; fourth prize for boar
under months. He lost four prizes
because of not making entry. His
winnings were S123.
Superintendent Neprud won two
sixth prizes for spring boars open
and futurity classes; eighth prize for
spring boar, in futurity, and eighth
for spring litter of four in futurity.
His winnings were $24.
The writer and all others from the
county who took note of the wonder
full display in all departments, were
gratified to know that we had winners
among such vast number of exhib-
its. 1t is real encouragement for the
future. We have the stock to win if
the effort is made
Vernon county's booth was very
creditable considering that little time
had been given, and no money ex-
pended to make it towering success.
Northern counties spent fabulously to
present their claims in this direction,
and their showings were certainly
great

A POST CHAPLAIN TALKS
CAPTAIN KENDALL HAS MISS
ION TO PRESENT
Makes Spirited Address in the City
Park, Friday Evening, Giving Ar
my Experiences and Obser-
yatiOns

On occasion of the last concert in
the city park, Captain j. T. Kendall,
of the regular army, our John. who
is at home on a furlough, from San
Francisco, California favored the large
assenblage with a fine patriotic adj
dress, covering a wide range of ex-
/ periences and observations as a sol
der and chaplain in the state militia
and army. He served in the capacity
of a guardsman and the last three
years in the government service be-
ing now stationed at SanFrancisco, as
regular post chaplain. During these
years he has been popular officer,
winning the respect and confidence Of
the hundreds of thousands of soldiers
he has served.
Mr.. Kendall was presented to this
appreciative audience Friday evening.

periences of camp life in the west,
what the Y NJ. C. A., the K. c., the
Red Cross and Salvation army had
done to lift the morale of soldier life
and improve the boys socially, NOR
ally, mentally and physically. The
government, he declared, was making
Icommendable efforts to provide hope
full futures for the soldier boys, but
out and beyond all government and
state preparation he was proud of
what his native Wisconsin is doing in
her legislation to help her defenders
in the bonus financial law and the ed
ucation bill. Now no young man who
served in the army can offer an ex-
cuse for a neglected education, be-
cause the Badger state opens the
doors to every school, high and low,
and offers them thorough training
in any line they may desire. ut is

MAGNIFICENT NEW BUILDING

The county board at its 1917 ses-
sion voted to construct county build
ing, voting bonds in the sum of $780,

appropriation was insufficient. A spe-
cial session of the board voted $25, 900

structure ready for occupancy year
ago, but materials and labor. could
not be secured by the ontractors,

may well take pardonable pride.
This building is planned for the
ages. The foundation goes deep and
solid, upon which thick walls Of tile

human ingenuity can conjure forth.
To further remove danger of fire, two
plugs with hose attached are placed
on each floor, and across the entrance
doors are brass rods which give in
