SCHOOL BUILDING
BEING RtMODElED

The school building, which was
moved from Ceteau,e was placed on
the foundation Tuesday, and car
penters are now busy remodeling it
preparatory to housing a part of
the school children from the main
building. Supt. Polk informs us
that he is not vet certain just what
portion OF the school will be trans
ferred to the Annex. If the high
school continues to grow in enroll
ment, there will not be room in the
present Assembly room for them,
and it may be possible that part
of the number would be in the 9th
er building. The Assembly room
Is now as full of seats as possible,
and there are not sufficient num-
ber to accommodate the number Of
high school students enrolled.
"A partition will be placed in the
lower room Of the Annex, leaving
the upper room as it is. Whatever
plastering is necessary will be
done. a heating system installed,
order before any attempt Will be
made to make use Of the building.

RHoDA ROYAL CIRCUS SHOWS
Monster Crowd Attends Performance
Show Small But Fair

Monster crowd attends Rhoda Royal
ciccus at Viroqua Saturday. What
there was of the show wis quite fair,
but the size of the show was very
much exaggerated and the price asked
out Of AL proportion to the merit Of
the production. The reputation Of the
show as having a host Of grating
hangers on mad come to the ears Of
our city council from Boscobel, Rich
land Center and other nearby points
and they put their license fee at $500
in an attempt to discourage their COM
ing, but they came and from the size
Of the crowd apparently did not suffer
because of the excessive license. II
was reported that they raised the
price ftheir reserved seats to 75c
to ''get it out of the people"-the $500
Such was not the case, as they did the
same thing everywhere, starting their
reserved seats at that figure and then
dropping to SOC, to 25c and we know
of Bome who were admitted to the re-
serves at other towns for nothing.
The show started out with two cars
two years ago and is growing fast.
Many of its acts were very good and
the only criticism is their overcharge
tactics and policy of exaggeration.

PICNIC AT DE soTo SATURDAY
Farmers and Business Get Together
in Nice Fraternal Time

The Farmers and business mems
pune put on at DeSoto Saturday by
tip business men of DeSoto was a
very enjoyable affair, although the at
tendance was not as large as it should
have been, due in large measure to the
number of people attracted by the
Rhoda Royal circus.
r. p LOTUS was president of the
day. Addresses were made by Coun-
ty Agents Wright of Crawford and
Schelling of Vernon and l.. G. Hatch of
the Onalaska agricultural school.

ket dinners. Fish sandwiches and
coffee were served and a splendid va
riety of refreshments available. There
were niger baby racks and other con-
cessions to enliven the day.

crossed bats in the afternoon, Lansing
winning by to 2 score. The score
was 2 to until the 9Th inning when

and FIVE scores were made. Five of

THEGIANTs WIN FROM VIRoQUA
Colored Boys Have Close Shave When
Their Pitcher Blows Up

The Union Giants met the Viroqua
team Monday afternoon and won out
9 to 7--but we made 'em play ball,
anyway. 1t looked easy for them at
first. Pet Morrison was slow in warm
ing up, and they knicked him for sew
eral hits in the first frame, getting
three scores. After that he pitched
great ball and most of their scores
were made on errors. Billy Weisse
and Stoop Berens of Cashton helped
the local boys.
In the sixth inning the boys COM
menced to whollop their pitcher. Three
got on. Then Curtis came to bat and
cleaned the sacks with the greatest
hit of his career--a three-base swat
Curtis. Then Galloway scored Bird
Then they yanked the left-handed
twirler and put in their star, Cannon
Then the slaughter stopped.
Williams made fine catch. Kuehn
scored runner with fine hit, Carl
Curtis stole second on the niggers enc
small feat with those birds.) Bird
let in two scores when groundeI
went through him. Galloway lodged
a ball and unintentionally made fair
sacrifice hit--the first we have ever
seen. Berens made fine backward
running catch Curtis caught run
rier off third. Johnson made beau'
of catch in center. Galloway made a
hard catch. In the 9th Giant got
on by walk, stole second, and scored
a moment later after the throw I'd
second bounced off his leg into center
field. For moment it looked rosy
in the 9th when Morrison's hit scored
Berens, but Cannon frightened Up and
our hopes went glimmering.
