Certainly the financial horoscope for

writer has compiled the figures from
statements just made and published
by authority of federal and state bank
ing departments, and we find that as

ed in January there is an increase of

IS, 1872 ,569.56, now $9,736, 31946. Only
one of the fifteen financial institutions
shows falling off in deposits and re-
sources. We verify believe that il
the tobacco industry could have had
its natural sway in January and Feb
ruary the bank deposits would have
gone past the ten million point. As
it is, it is wonderful showing for the
industrial progress of this community
and county, for it should not be for
gotten that this is the money of the
average citizen, not the banks. 1t
only needs level headedness, judicious
economy in private and public affairs,
to insure safety and . prosperous fu-
ture. Turn a deaf ear to the agita-
tors of unrest and political bolsheviks
and the country and people will go
forward swimmingly.

Viroqua's first team won from Cash

capped by the presence Of three sub
stitutes in her line up, the Cashton
principal declaring two regulars be-
cause of deficient school standings.

fully free from dissention.

A JOYFUL EVENT ARRIVED
GOOD PERIOD OF CASE Wealth
Err DESCENDS ON US
All Available Help in County Busy
On Stripping and Bundling the
Weed

The long-looked-for period of moist
weather descended upon Vernon coun-
ty last Wednesday evening and con-
tinued until the following night, thick
murky fog which permeated the sheds
in good shape except at the tops, and
made possible the taking down of
about 80 per cent of the crop. Every
available worker in the county is now
busy stripping and bundling the weed
and if roads are at all passable next
week viii see the commencement in
earnest of long procession of bund-
le goods to the different sorting houses
The Mcintosh house has not closed
down; Eckhart warehouse opened on
Monday; Bekkedal's will open next
Monday; Hazen's sometime next week.
There is every prospect of the crop
not being finally wound up until July.

ROAD CONVENTION OR SCHOOL
Bad Roads, Weather and Sickness Pre-
vented Large Attendance

The first annual school scheduled
for the county, on Tuesday. was a sue
cess in point of interest demonstrated
in discussion of subjects, but because
of bad weather and worse roads, the
attendance was small, only 5S regis
tering. About half of the county pa
trolmen, town boards and others were
on hand. John r. Lepke was called to
preside in absence of Chairman Do
len, who like other announced speak
ers, were prevented from attending
because of illness. Senator Bennett
made an address of welcome, dwelling
at some length on recent legislation
on road matters. A number of pa
trolmen gave their experiences in
past years. Commissioner Ristow
gave a detailed talk to patrolmen,
foremen and machine operators. Cap
tain Heinz entertained the audience
with his observations on roads in for
eign countries, telling that the most
eXaeting details were worked out for
centuries there, hence every reason
why they should be in advance of us
who are but getting started in scien-
titic road construction and maintain
ence. Mr.. T. Nj. Reynolds of the state
roads department, reviewed the state
highway law as a matter of informa-
ton to officials and road workers. He
spoke of the care that should be ex-
ercised in preventing as little friction
as possible during the closing of a
section of road building; that patrol
men and road constructors should lend
every possible assistance to the travel
ing public in times of stress and trou-
bic. DR.. Porter and o. G. Munson
spoke Of some of the practical cares
that should be taken in the expendi-
ture of public moneys for roadmaking
and the latter commended the system
of road marking now in vogue in Wis
.consin.
Although the program was broken
into by absence of announced speak
ers it was an interchange of ideas that
must bear good fruit in future prose-
cution of our big road problems.
