The weather man played hob with
the early hours of Viroqua's celebra-
tion, a drizzling rain keeping the
crowd down to a handful until nearly
noon. A very fine parade had been
planned, but of course was out of the
question. The LaFarge band, Viro-
qua Forester team and a few decorat-
ed cars and marchers made a fair
showing.
At the pavilion, Mayor Roseland
welcomed the crowd with a few well
chosen remarks. and Hon. D. o. Ma
honey delivered a stirring patriotic
address, after which the LaFarge band
rendered a much appreciated concert.
Forester Drill
No other team appeared to contest
with the Viroqua Foresters, but the
local wood chopping aggregation gave
a uniformed drill which was much APP
preciated.
