HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
z. Fl. 5. Wins From Vic


Last Friday our boys defeated VII
ola boys in a snappy game of base
bah tht. final score being 9 to 5. The
first two innings looked rather bad
for Use, tihe Viola boys making three
scores IN the first two innings, while
our boys had not scored at all. But
as the old saying is "a good beginning
makes poor ending" seemed to hold
true in this case, for when our play
ers started hitting the bali it seemed
sa though there was no difficulty at
all. Our boys played the game in fine
shape with practically no errors, while
the opposing team played fair ball
except for few errors.
This Is our second complete victory
with one tie game which will be played
off some time in the future. With
the proper backing from the school
the boys can't help but be victorious.
So let us get back of them and boost
for the team that represents our school
Mrs. Johnson's freshmen civics class
have been working for the past few
weeks on maps, which they are con-
strueting of the city of Viroqua. The
streets and lots have been MAPPED out,
making them as accurate as possible.
This work is something that is worth
mention as it gives the student prac-
tice in map making, while at the same
time it gives them a distinct idea of
the city in which they are interested.
1t has been arranged so that two indi-
viduals may take a general survey of
block and at the same time taking
note of any improvements that may
be made on the lots of each block. We
would suggest that all the lots need
ing improvement would be taken care
of before the civics class makes their
raid.
A new system takes the place of
writing the quarterly examinations
this year. Report cards are given
out every six weeks and your rank de-
ponds on your class standing. Tests
are given frequently between these

TO Gain a Good Reputation

The way to gain good reputation
is to endeavor to be what you appear.
That is precisely the manner in which
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
gained its reputskion as a cure for
coughs, colds, Group and whooping
cough. Every bottle that has ever
been put out by the manufacturers
has been fully up to the high standard
of excellence claimed for it. People
have found thai it can be depended
upon for the relief and cure of these
ailments and that it is pleasant and
safe to take.

Why Don't More Stores Sell For Cash
Let us face the truth--the reason
why most stores, which shouldn't. sell
