over by Mrs. Adam McLees and Mrs
y. I. Hage, decided slump in number
OF entries over past years was in evi.
dence but the quality could hardly be
improved upon. The bedding and Gro.
chet work was very sim, but good
deal OF embroidery was in evidence
Sofa pillows plenty. A fine piano
scarf made by Mrs. Peter Thompson
and daughter was sold to Mrs. M. H
Bekkedal for $40.
The canned fruit and pastry show
ing, in charge of Mrs. Shirks, was ex-
ceptionally good, especially in cookery
Bread was somewhat minus; home
made candies fine, cake splendid.
Mrs. T. ]. Thorson was lamenting
because the ported plant display was
not so good as in the past, but the cut
flowers were most beautiful. T h G
showing of pictures was about as usu-
al, some especially fine work being
noted.
The superintendent in these home
work departments wish to commend
the work of the judges Miss Schumann
of Lacrosse and Mrs. Wick of Viola.
They gave splendid satisfaction.

Just how vital a factor the school
nurse is in the school life and health
could be gained from the charts and
tables displayed by Miss Chase in her
booth where many babies were weigh
ed during the fair.
Superintendent Sanford is indeed to
be congratulated over the lastly ar
ranged booth so wen filled with en-
tries from all parts of the county
The educational part of our county
life is to our minds of supreme inn
portance, and the school ranks with
the church as a sacred calling

HOME COMING
Mrs. w. S. Field was in charge of
the "Home Coming" at the Fair. The
high wind blew down the big Home
Coming Tent" and tore it badly; so
she had place in the Red Cross booth
in the Main Building.
SALVATION ARMY DRIVE
"Tag Days" at the Fair added only
$364.75 to the Salvation Army fund.
When the large number present is con-
sidered and the wonderful prosperity
of our county is remembered, this
seems a poor contribution to so great
cause. Almost twice as much was
raised in a few hours among the Vi
roqua business men.
With a hospital to be built IN our
state this year and the other worl.
that the Army will have to have furds
for, we must do more, out Of our
abundance, to provide the money for
the peace-time work of the Salvation
Army. Viroqua and Westby have al
ready been raising funds and other
communities will be called upon.
A campaign will probably be .inau-
gurated taking in all the school dis
tricts of the county.
To the most successful "taggers"
in the Salvation Army work at the
Fair, Mrs. Potter gave a free aero
plane ride. The girls worked II twos
and Misses Flo Rogers and Verna
Thayer were the winners. Miss Thay-
