VIII Norris. Pairnlman

We don't know whether or not he is
getting paid for the job, but at least
the unlimited thanks of the travelling
public is extended to ]. w. Norris for
the valient service rendered by him
and his Fordson tractor in smoothing
the road between Viroqua and Westby
this week. He has made it the best
road in this vicinity, and gives US a
taste of how things viii go when those
motor driven graders authorized to be
purchased by the county board, get
into action. With the return of sun
ny days many farmers are out drag
ging the roads. In other sections none
seem to be so enterprising. 1t is a
fine service to perform to the commun-
ity at large and will be necessary until
some sort of winter patrol measure
is passed.

ANNUAL EQUITY MEETING
THE REXALL STORE

Annual meeting of the state Amer
lean Society of Equity was held at
Milwaukee last week. The main point
of contention was whether Equity
should merge with other farmer or
CARNATIONS, principally the Farm Bu-
Teau movement. 1t was overwhelm-
ingly decided not to affiliate. No eff
fort was made by the Non-Partisan
league to capture the organization.
Eleven hundred delegates were pres
emit. Annual dues were raised from
$3.50 to $500. E. c. Pommering was
elected president. He has been Tit
temore follower, but it is hoped that
his conduct of the Office will not be SC
fractional and destructive as has been
the case under the deposed leader.
Former President d. o. Mahoney was
pressed to become candidate and ac-
corded 274 votes over his protest. S.
E. Livingston of Pekin county was
elected president; John Prince of
Chippewa county on the board of di-
rectors.
Judge Mahoney, E. J. Jennings, j.
D. Beck, G. A. Smith, of Viola, John
Gardner of Hillsboro, Wallace of On
tario, Gillen of Whitestown, were Yer
mons delegates.

Attention World War Soldiers

Please remember this is the last
month you can have your war risk
insurance reinstated without a physi-
cal examination. And you would be
surprised to know how many of you
would fail to pass satisfactory physi-
cal examination. The important
changes recommended at the second
national convention are likely to be
adopted by the b. W. r. |. and by con-
gress. That will mean reduced prem
iums and better protection, making
even now the best insurance, as any
one who knows and has no ak to grind
will tell you, a still better and cheap
err insurance. / hope every paper in
the county and adjacent counties will
publish the above notice for the bene-
fit of the boys.
