ODD FELLOWS PURCHASE RUN
MING BUILDING
Fine Business Building and Hall is Of
fered to Society by Running
for S12,50O

After consideration for the past two
weeks, Viroqua Odd Fellow lodge vot-
ed to accept Henry Running's very
generous offer at its meeting last Sat
urday, and the Running block is now
the property of that society, the lodge
paying S12,500 for the same. The
site could not now be purchased and
the building erected for less than
$4,000.
This wise move on the part of the
Odd Fellows gives them fine future
home, in which they may expand, en-
abling them to add club facilities to
the lodge whenever they deem that
desirable and TO otherwise improve the
service of the lodge to its members
and the community.
And it may possibly have the effect
of stimulating building operations in
the business district, as many lodges
which have been sheltered there since
the buildings erection are now rem
dered homeless. The fine corner lot
purchased from the Lindemann es-
tate, and the old hall in the Williams
building, are now for sale.

Advises received by A. r. Hirst,

effect that total of 500 motor trucks
valued at 81, 100000, will be received
by the Wisconsin Highway Commits
sion from the federal government
soon, to be used on federal road work

same source for the same purpose an
allotment of steam shovels, graders,
Contractors equipment, trailers, ce-
ment tractors, ditchers, power plants,
horses and mules, harness, explosives,

THEY SERVE IN FOUR WARS
Four Generations of Richards Fight
for Uncle Sam
Thn Censnr .haA Ala measure

The Censor had the pleasure of a
visit with Major Jerre T. Richards,
who ran up for day to pay visit
to his aged father and other relatives.
Mr.. Richards was called out of civil
life in October, 1917. and assigned
to command of the 507th Engineers
being commissioned major. He or
ganized and took them to France in
February of 1918. Later he was placed
on detached service with the Chief
Engineer, advanced section, in charge
of hospitals, motor park and other
construction projects. On November
., 1918, he was assigned to the Hath
Engineers, LIST army corps. On Jan
uary 18th he was appointed as one Of
ten majors to make a complete in
spectiOn and report as to the damage
done TO French roads by American
conveys. He returned with his regi-
ment May and expects his discharge
this MONTH
Viroqua is proud of this, her highest
ranking native son in the great war
Major Richards fourteen months of
service in France nicely rounds out
the family record as to patriotism
His great-grandfathe fought in the
Revolutionary war, his grandfather
took part in the war of 1912, and his
father as a veteran of the Civil war
still survives to see his son return
after playing well his part in the war
of wars.
One thing we gathered from Major
Richards conversation which we were
glad to hear was his unqualified en-
dorsement of the Y. NJ, c. A. In Ct
feet he said that the work was the
biggest in the world, that it had to be
pushed with all possible speed, with
out sufficient preparation, that the
men who conducted it had to be drawn
from outside the young and vigorous
men who bad to serve as soldiers
that in the light of experience the
work could be done better if it were
to be done again, but taken as a whole
it was a grand work, wonderfully we'll
done, and that every criticism of the
~" could be satisfactorily explained.

Many boys and girls in the state
are doing excellent club work. We
are beginning to do some in this coun-

offered for prizes in boys and girls
club work. The State Fair Associa-
ton offers very attractive prizes and
the Wisconsin Livestock Association
is going to have a State club Show
for boys and girls. These are all at
tractive and worth the time and while
in money to take part. If there is any

a great drive TO put the program and

personal application of religion. Chris
tianity Is not to save souls only but
to save the world and the worlds life

a large scale. All people are our
neighbors, and the needy everywhere
we are TO help Christ offered a pro
gram to the world which he called the
Kingdom of God That must be es-
tablished on earth and it is our bust
ness to see that it is done Religion
therefore must be applied to society.

affairs and TO all human affairs. So
to do this the Methodist church has
set out to raise sos 100000 S40,-

mainly to the foreign and e0ngested
parts Of Our cities, and $50, 00O,O
for war reconstruction matters. The
church a!so cahr for over 10000 spe-
cial workers and leaders,. The finan-
cial canvass is on this week all over
the country The quota for the local
city church and circuit is 1886 a year
