BOSCOBEL AGAIN in LEAD
VTROQUA AND CASHTON TIED
FOR SECOND PLACE
Soldiers Grove, Viola. Hillsboro and
) Bosc0bel Win Sunday-FOur are
Tied for Third Place

When Galloway threw wide TO first
base in the fourth inning at Soldiers
Grove last Sunday, Viroqua handed
the game to the Grove. The score
was to 0, and the game was as good
as the score-a nearly perfect exhi-
bition of fine pitching and tight base
ball.
The defeat was surely no fault of
Schultz. who hit no one, walked no
one. struck out seven and permitted
just three hits Kellar for the Grove
pitched a good game. Our boys hit
him freely, but always into the hands
of their team. Pet got a double and
a single, Schultz double, Tom Garin
a double and Galloway a single, Only
once did we have a chance Of scoring,
when Tom reached second on his i.r,
and went to third on Callowoy's sia-
gle In the sixth. Then Cailcw Az ysSs
caught off first Bartel finished the
last two innings for the Gee when
Kellar hurt his arm. He struck out
four. Dunbar umpired in good shape.

PETITION AGAINST PAVING
MOVE TO STOP PAVING OF MAIN
STREET
A Few Property Owners Apparently
Dissatisfied With the Cost Of
Street Improvement

A petition has been circulated on
Main street asking the council TO re-
scind their order for the paving of
Main Street other than the three bu-
siness blocks. AT the meeting held
last evening TO hear complaints con-
corning their assessments on the pro-
posed pavement JOB several property
owners appeared and lodged formal
protest.
The Censor regrets the opposition
to the paving movement and trusts
that it viii not develop sufficiently to
interfere with the work. The council
has been petitioned at least twice 10
take action on the paving of Main
street ard it seems unfair that they
should be hampered and harrasssd
whea they attempt to pus into opera
ton the clear vii Of the majority
The arguments bsi1g used against
the aving at t1is tine sre the same
which have beer used in the past and
win be used at airy and all times III
the future II they are needed, no
Improvements viii ever be made.
A town is judged more by its Main
street than probably any other single
thing. Viroqua has been subjected
to more criticism on this score than
any other. We are an agricultural
city, and our farming friends are en-
titled to come 70 our city without hav-
ing to wallow through mud from the
city limits to the center of town. Ev-
lentually Decker and Main streets must
be paved to the city limits. We see
no reason why Main street should not
be done now. It is true that the con-
struction of the pavement will work
a hardship on some people-but this
will always be true.-It is true that
there are some phases of the PROPOSE
ton that do not appear absolutely just
and this, too, Will always be true,
improvements come only through a
certain amount, Of sacrifice, and we
must be prepared to make sacrifices
if we expect our city to progress.

BOYS RENDER A FINE CONCERT
Appreciative Audience Enjoys First
Appearance of Kid Band

A good-sized audience assembled
at the park Friday night to listen to
the first concert rendered by Director
Browns Juvenile band A sprinkling
Of the old faithful players were there
to lend stability to the band, while the
youngsters made up in pep and en-
thusiasm what they may have lacked
in mature musical training. The con-
cert went surprisingly well, and the
band was accorded liberal applause.
We hope for regular concerts from
now on during the rest of the summer
season.

PRE-WAR RATES

Fred n. Wood Also Declares In
terstate Rate Making Would
Wreck Country's Roads.
BY International News Service.

The railroads Of the country will
be plunged into economic chaos II in
trastate rate-making powers are re.
stored to the States. the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee was
warned today by Fred II. Wood, gen.
eral attorney and commerce counsel
for the Southern Pacific Railway Com.
pany.
Wood also predicted that "a res.
toration OF a pre-war level of rates
cannot be expected for long time 70
come"
IF there is any reduction" he con.
tinued, at must first be in freight
rates, but any harmonious adjustment
would be made impossible by throw.
ing wholesale rate-making powers

Wood appeared as an expert wit.
ness for the railroads in oppositio,
to the various heads OF State utility
and railway commissioners, who de.
mand that the transportation act be
changed so as to give back to them
war.
Inadequate revenues for the roads
and inadequate transportation for the
shippers would result at a time when
the country is undergoing an economic
reimbursement" he predicted.
The charge that State rates have
been frozen and the States denied the
power to adjust individual rates
within their borders to meet legiti-
mate requirements, is without foun-
dation," he asserted.

Upon direction OF the committee
the health officer gave the names OF

The men represented Chestnut Farms

Dairy of Corbin Thompson.
Challenges Statement.
Hardly had DIR. Fowler finished
reading the statement when attorney
, O'Brien jumped to his feet. He chal
lenged the statement of the health
officer that these men handled fifty.
six per cent of the milk shipped into
the District. DIR. Fowler then pro.
duced records of the Health Depart.
ment, which showed that milk shipped
into the District, said by the dealers to
be pasteurized, was found on examina.
ton to contain certain germs. This
he pointed out. was proof that pas
teurization was not always az effective
as possible.
Mr.. O'Brien interjected again and
declared that the psychologists OF
the Health Department who made the
examinations were incompetent men.
He said he was prepared to prove his
assertion.
Walter J. Carlin, New York city,
who said he represented the ice cream
manufacturers of Washington and The
Merril-Soule Company OF New York,
who followed DIR. Fowler, declared the
ice cream men were opposed to DIR.
Fowler's bill. They objected largely
because the bill provided for inspection
by the local Health Department of all
farms which ship milk into the Dis
trict. He also voiced opposition to the
clause in the measure which gives the
health officer power to seize shipments
of milk.
Measure Not Fair"
The ice cream men are willing and
ready to cooperate with the health Of

measure now being considered is a

Throughout the hearing the cues.

again. 1t was clear that members
of the committee are determined to
make some effort to lower the cost
OF this commodity.
In previous hearings II has been
brought out that milk dealers pay
about 8 cents a quart and sell for Is
cents. The committee is of the opin.
ion that the dealers, in charging Is
cents, are profiteering.
Il want to go into the books of
the dealers and | want to find out
who is profiteering." declared Con
gresham Millspaugh. Il also want
to know something about everything
else that enters into the milk price.
