AMOVE TO BUILD HOUSES
MEETING Is IN FAVOR or H0US-
ING CORPORATION
Committee of Five Appointed to In.
yestigate Costs and Report Fri
day Night

More than fifty representative cit
liens met at the city hall Friday night
and discussed at length the PROPOSE
ton of forming a Housing Corpora
ton. Viroqua, like every other city,
is desperately in need of houses. A
large number of families have been
debarred residence here IN the past
four years by reason of no available
place to reside, and it is the purpose
of the housing corporation to attempt
to remedy this condition.
II. p Proctor Jr., presided over the
gathering, and appointed committee
of five to investigate cost Of construct
ing houses suitable for the ordinary
family, the committee to report to the
meeting Friday night Of this week.
It is to be hoped that every represen-
tative man in the community will at
tend, as we believe this to be the most
pressing problem before the city to-
day Messrs. Ralph Nuzum, c. j.
Smith, j E. Stoll, w. ID. Dyson and
Chris Peterson comprise the COM
mittee.

EARLY FLOWING ADVISED
LOCAL CLETRAC DEALER EN-,
PHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE
OF PROPER SOIL PREPA-
RATION AND EARLY
PLANTING

A. j. johnson, the enterprising Gle
trac dealer, in a recent interview with
the Censor forcibly set forth the adj
vantages of proper seed-bed prepara-
ton and the Importance of early plant
ing.
ut is a well established fact" said
Mr. Johnson, that good crops usually
follow hard winter and heavy snow
fall. There is just one drawback re-
garding winter like the one we have
Just passed through; the melting of
heavy SHOWS leaves the land wet. This
delays blowing time and seeding time
and makes lot of rush work neces-
sary."
'Under old-fashioned methods when
farmers were forced to rely entirely
upon horsepower, late spring invar-
iably meant fewer acres put into crops
or else poor seed-bed preparation and
late planting. The modern tractor
has largely overcome the dangers and
difficulties of a wet spring. Now, a
farmer can work two or three times
as fast as he could in the old days.
His tractor can be depended upon not
to get distemper. If necessary, the
tractor can be worked every hour of
the day and night. 1t is always ready
and never tires out"
When questioned on this point, Mr..
Johnson admitted that claims had been
made that farmers could get on the
ground earlier with horses than with
tractor. But" continued Mr.. John
son, "if this be true regarding the old
round wheel type of tractor, which !
doubt very much, it certainly is not
true of the Cletrac.
The Cletrac travels en- broad, metal
tracks. Its weight is distributed over
eight hundred square inches of surface
so that the pressure is but AZ pounds
per square inch The Cletrac viii
lplow or disc or seed where the ground
is too soft for horses to work"
Mr.. Johnson also mentioned another
interesting point in connection with
tractor farming. He said that too
many farmers are careless about the
corners and about blowing up to fen
ces. He went on to say that, with a
tractor like the Cletrac, you can get
into the corners just as well as you
can with a horse drawn pillow and that
you can pillow as close to the fence as
you can with horses.
Not only farmers but the general
public is interested in big crop for
1920. Since the war, the world has
been looking our way for grain and
as Mr.Johnson says, there is a Bump
er crop" in sight for 1920. The Cen
sor hopes that every possible acre will
be seeded and the seed planted as ear
ly as possible because the longest sea
son is all IT, short to raise the crops
which the y ole world is looking to
US to produce.

The Highway Commission is send
ing out a request over the state, urg-
ing that so far as possible all auto
mobile traffic be kept off dirt roads in
general while they are drying after
the frost goes out. More harm can be
done to such roads, say engineers Of
the Commission, in a few hours than
can be remedied in as many months ;
and besides travel on dirt roads in
such condition is injurious to auto
mobiles.

BETTER SANE THAN SORRY
GoV.wILLISoF OHIO ADDRESSES
VIROQUA GATHERING
Gives People Warming to Protect Their
Constitutional Guarantees-A Just
Presentation

A complimentary luncheon was CIV
en- at noon last Friday, in the Metho-
dist church dining rooms, spread by
ladies of the church for Former Gov
ernor Frank B. Willis of Ohio. The
governor is touring Wisconsin under
auspices of the Citizens Council for
Constitutional Order" A committee
representing all branches of local
church life and congregations had the
affair in hand. Covers were laid fer
better than a hundred gentlemen and
ladies. Governor Willis spoke for
thirty minutes following the lunch,
but he gave his hearers things to pom
der over that should continue with
them through life. His talks are di-
rected against radical;sms of the day,
especially attacking socialism. /. w.
w. ism and all the obiectional red
theories that are calculated to under
mine sane and constitutional govern
ment. He warned his hearers that
their liberties, their property interests
are vitality threatened if the unrestrict-
ed radicalisms of today's agitators are
not curbed-the church, the home, the
school are the things sought to be
broken down by socialists and reds.
Governor Willis substantiated his
statements by the production of print
ed and written propaganda put in cir
culation. He said the abrogation of
the new prohibition amendment would
be followed by destruction of all other
constitutional guarantees.
Governor Willis is one of the strong
est speakers and reasoners Viroqua
people have ever had the privilege of
listening to. His presentation of dam
gerous matters as they now exist
should be brought to the attention of
all thinking people everywhere. 1t is
much better to be sane than sorry.
Constitution or Revolution" was a
warning not whit overdrawn by Gov
ernor Willis.
