Administration turns in it's effort to
cut down expenses or to reduce taxes
it meets the disarmament problem in
some form. 1t has taken months for
the true Importance of disarmament
to be appreciated but the question
has at last gotten so big that in its
and foreign situation combined.
Back of the disarmament problem
lies for instance the whole attitude of
foreign governments toward the fund
ing of their debts to the United
States. How much interest can they
afford to pay annually, how much
toward the principal if the chief item
in their budgets is military and naval
expense for the next war? And while
President Harding has sent informal
feelers to the foreign powers to de-
their attitude toward a re-

of European countries from attack
then a disarmament program will be-
come plausible. France for instance
wants to know what insurance the
United States will provide against at
tack by a reorganized Germany ten
years hence. The United States has
failed to ratify the special defensive
treaty whereby America and England
were to come to the aid of France in
the event of an unprovoked attack by
Germany. The guarantees against war
adopted by France have been big

in her budget Similarly Great Brit
ain has not yet been convinced that
she can dispense with her navy. She
doesn't know American plans or pre-
tensions and all the talk she hears is
about growing friction between Amer

Brooks. ''They recognized the second

the teachers of the intermediate

that those who held the elementary

were considered the best. teachers.
s'It is clear that the monthly sal

state funds was not excessive since
it averages for all teachers employ

TALKS OF WILSON'S
SALARY LIST


Richmond, Va, June 27.-Presi-
dent w. B., Bradley, of the Virginia
League, has called, a meeting of the
league. moguls for Thursday after
noon of this week at o'clock, at
the Monticello Hotel, in Norfolk, for
the purpose of considering the pro-
test by the Wilson club, charging
that the game last Saturday after
noon at Richmond was illegally call
ed at the close of the seventh inning.
They cite the constitution of the club
that games must not be abbreviated,
except for lawful reasons, such as
darkness, to permit a team to catch
a train, etc.
The Richmond club however,
claims that the game was not. abbre-
waited at their request, a double
header being staged, but a seven
inning nightcap was asked by the
Wilson manager, and that Manager
Ryan agreed Evidently Manager
Clark had no idea that his club
would lose. But they did, score 6 to
4. Wilson wanted to continue the
game, but the Richmond manager de-
clined to consider any change, and
the umpires enforced the agreement
made between the two managers be-
fore the starting of the game and
ca1fed it at the close of the seventh
inning -,
While other business can be con-
sidered at the meeting, I am not ad-
vised as to whether or not the charge
that Wilson has violated the league
salary limit will he considered at
the meeting said President Bradley,
when interviewed by your correspond
ent. = - -
President Bradley admitted that
he had heard the charge made and
had read it in the newspapers. Fur
ther than this, he declares that he
knew nothing about the charge or
the intention OF those bringing it for
ward.
"Any member of the league, of
course, can bring the question up
and it must be disposed Of" said Mr..
Bradley. eff the charge is brought il
is probable that the league will order
thorough investigation.

WITH THE COUNTY AGENT

Hi-Sp0ts from the Co. Agents Office
The old saying, 81 am going to Cal
ifornia to spend the winter" is a thing
of the past Wisconsin weather of
the past six months has taken the
notion of migration out of the mind
of the transient Wisconsin caller.
However, together with this mod
crate atmosphere, there comes a con-
dition of soil, dirt road, unfrozen.
which under the heavy traffic of our
agriculture, is subjected 20 TIE ex-
IRENE test of community traffic de-
moralization. Especially is this true
of Vernon county because of the very
nature of the soil with which these
road beds are made up.
Travel has become quite impossible
in many parts of the county because
of the recent thaws and freezes dur
ing periods of heavy traffic. Hard
lsurfacing of roads together with ade-
quate waterways along the side in the
form of bitches, is absolutely essen
tial TO insure safe and rapid travel
at all seasons of the year.
However, until such measures can
be made as will meet these require
ments, more attention must be given
to seasonal traffic
Let us boost for good roads. Join
hands with your county board, with
your Commissioner of Highways, and
your patrolman, cooperating in every
instance toward that end which will
make for better travel twelve months
in year.
Vernon county is a large county,
measuring several miles in both di-
rections, measuring approximately
two times the distance east and west
as from its northern to its southern
border. To facilitate getting around
the county and in an attempt to serve
the public in the best possible manner.
the county agricultural agent has un-
equally divided the county into two
portions-the east and west portion
and has further planned to devote a
proportional part of his time about
one week of each month in the eastern
portion - making headquarters a t
Hillsboro, and the balance of his time
in the western portion of the county
headquarters at Viroqua.
A Half Day Get Together Farmers
Meeting is planned for one afternoon
during the week of March 1919. at
Hillsboro. At that time it is hoped
to get the organization of several live
stock breed associations and adopt a
definite plan of work for the wear
1921. Definite dates of meeting and
plan of work will be submitted for
your approval shortly.
On Friday, February 25th, the resi-
dents of the locality of Retreat met
at the local hall answering the dinner
call of Mr.. James to a big feed that
was prepared by the ladies for the par
ticular occasion. About a hundred
people were present. The dinner was
followed by a business meeting at
which time an official community club
was organized. A proposed constitu-
ton and bylaws, together with plan
of work for the year will be submitted
for approval and adoption at the next
regular meeting on Friday, March Il,
