VIROQUA in SECOND PLACE
WINS FROM CASHTON IN VERY
FAST GAME
Bosc0bel Murders the Grove; Viola
Does the Same to Muscoda; Rich
land Center Beats LaFarge


The fans who accompanied the team
to Cashton, Sunday, were rewarded
with seeing real classy game in
which Viroqua was victor by to
score. Our pitcher, Schultz, never
went better in his life, striking out
Ia men. They got six hits and Schultz
had them eating out of hand all the
way. Following a home run by Han
son, he frightened up and struck out
five men with only sixteen balls
thrown. Bell struck out seven and
our boys connected with him seven
times. Tom Garin got two hits, Cur
tbs, Galloway, Lad Garin, Johnson
and Kjos each one.
Two very regrettable occurrences
marred the game-the first when
Berens of Cashton stiff armed Gallo
way at second base, the second when
Bell lost control of himself when he
struck out in the 9th with two men
on and threw his bat at Schultz. The
offending players were literally boot
ed by both Cashton and Viroqua fans.

CONDITIONSV VERY SERIOUS
NO RAIN IN THIS SECTION FOR
OVER THREE WEEKS
Boiling Sun Doing Great Injury to
All Kinds of Crops in Vernon

For over three weeks this section Of
Vernon county has been practically
without a drop of rain. Some sec
tons have been visited with local
showers, but these have been Of little
relief in view of the merciless down.
pour of Old SOILS rays The past five
weeks of torrid weather have, we be-
lieve, established a record for this
county, and certainly no hotter days
than those so far this week have ever
been experienced in this section-try-
ing alike to crops and stockzand the
temper and efficiency Of humans.
Early set tobacco is standing up
fairly well but most Of the late set
is in very bad shape. Corn wits dur
ing the day but revives during tn
night. Small grain is most seriol sly
damaged. Unless copious rain comes
to this section very soon, the dam
age will in some respects be ire
parable.

Solving roblem

There no questioning the fact that the railroads of this country beset with hard problems They re- fusng pay high wages for labor and the public is pro- testing that will longer pay high freight and pas senger rates And right top of this comes steadily increasing number of shpby truck routes to cut down freight and express shipments heretofore given to the railroads
 And 1t is want to assure Holbrook citizens that they wiser thing than the latter movement If there is any thing that will to reduce freight it is the truck lines plying between cities towns and farms in all parts of the country The best way encourage them however is by seeing to it that the roads which they must travel are kept in good condition Every truck that brings load of goods and takes load away helping just that much to solve transportation problems, and to bring the cost of living back to where we'd all like to see it.
 It is that the truck should pay taxes toward keeping the routes which they operate and this feel they are in most instances ready and will ing to do But individuals desirous of reducing the cost of living anxious to bring about the odtme pros perity that this country at large enjoyed is up to to cooperate by seeing to it that highways n fit shape for travel three hundred and sixtyve days in the year.

When To Pull Up

We once knew colored man who spent good deal of his time fishing but who seldom brought home any fish, We wondered about it, and day crept down to the creek where he fishing After that didn't wonder He had bated his hook with big fat worm, dropped it in the water and then hung his pole in where the fish could grab the bait Then he laid down the bank and went sleep When he awoke and pull led in his line the hook bare The fish had nbbled the bait off and gone their way tced the fisher mans ignorance
 He hadn't caught any fish simply because there was nobody there to jerk the pole when the fish nbbled
 And there right here in Holbrook go- ing through life the way that fellow fshed. They go through all the premnaries to doing good business then they drop into and leave the fish to eat up all the bait They put ad in the paper and then back up that ad when gets the prospective toner into the store They hang up their sgn but not there pull the line when it is time to draw in business.
 man can start on thousand-mie trip in five min utes but he has got keep travelling to get to the place he is headed for. And he can work up big business when he puts single ad in the providing he fol- lows it up in careful sensible, systematic way. Think this over you who, like the fisherman, not pre- sent to jerk the pole when the fish bites.

POOR LEAD TO OBTAIN SPLIT
Attempt to Arouse Indignation Over "Horror on the Rhine" Proves
 Dismal Failure.

''The Germanophile attempt to arouse American indignation over the horror on the Rhine and thereby to lead to a split, spiritual rather than diplomatic, between America and her recent allies has failed of it's purpose in precisely the same way that Ger man propaganda in this country failed in every one of the years between 1914 and 191S," says an editorial in the American Legion Weekly.
 ''The truth is merely that the Ger mans do not know how to go about it. 'Kultur obviously does not include any knowledge of the fine art of get ting something over, a fact amply at tested by the reflex action which has accompanied the present attempt. The VOn Mach style of persuasiveness is no more subtle than the efforts of St. Bernard puppy to stand up on a hardwood floor. It is fiattering the VOn Mach type of boring from within to call it's insidious Insidious it is, however, in its intent if not in its ap- plication.
 "Dr. Von Mach has proved himself poor servant of his country, wheth- er he regards his country as America or Germany. He is a poor American for having tried to win America over to the point of view of the unrepen- tant nation to defeat whose govern ment 100000 Americans gave their lives, for attempting to resurrect hyphen that was theoretically buried just three years ago. He is a poor German because his clumsiness has served only to arouse America to the fact that she is still at war with Ger many"
