your feet stay dry and comfortable

At the very places where rubber
footwear is usually weakest, the u. S.
Bootee has been made STRONGEST.
It's sole consists of heavy layers of
the finest rubber. All other points
of strain are heavily reinforced.
Ask your dealer to show you a
pair of the new u. S. Bootees. Note
their waterproof, smooth rubber sur
face-feel how pliable and comfort
able they are-examine for yourself
their wonderful built -to-wear con-
struction.
The u. S. line of footwear has
type for every need-arctics, rub
bers, lovers" Every one is backed
by over half a century of experience.
The rubber comes from our own
plantations-the whole process of
manufacture is supervised by experts
Always look for the U. S. Seal
it means solid wear and long service
for your money.

OBITUARY

Emma ]. Salmon, daughter of Benz,
and Remembrance Salmon, was born
in the toxin of Kickapoo, Vernon coun-
ty, December .18, 1871, and departed
this life January 90, 1921 age 40 years,
/ month and IL days.
She was united in marriage to F.
w. Atkins October 18th, 1894. To
their union five children were born:
Orla, Hazel, Lowell, Edna and Doris,
all of whom were at her bedside dur
ing her sickness and death.
The greater part of her life was
spent in the towns of Franklin and
Viroqua, removing to her native town
March LIST, 1920.
Emma was a plain, transformations
woman, richly endowed with these at
tributes which so greatly endeared her
to her family and the communities in
which she lived, fully recognizing the
responsibilities of motherhood she en-
deavored to rear her family in the true
walks of life, so that when the sum-
mons comes to them, when they, too,
must descend into the narrow house,
into that better life, whose pillows kiss
the eternal shore, that it might be in
the words of the poet: Like one who
wraps the drapery of his couch about
him and lies down to pleasant dreams"
Beside her husband and family she
leaves to mourn her demise, two sis
tiers Mrs. A. C. Lake of Sugar Grove,
Mrs. c. H. Carter of Readstown, and
one brother, Frank Salmon of Tower
vile.
Funedal services were held Tuesday,
February /, at Readstown and Liberty
Pole, conducted by Rev. ]. Harry Bull

After Landis' Scalp

And now it appears that they are af-
ter Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands
scalp and the liquorites openly boast
he viii be off the bench in few weeks,
using his acceptance Of the baseball
presidency as their leverage. We ra-
Their think that the man who is fear
less enough to hand the Standard Oil
Co. a $29,000,0O0 fine and whom nei-
Their the soulless corporation nor the

can bride or browbeat, is big enough
to handle both jobs without detracting
from the efficiency of either. The re-
tirement of Lands from the federal
judgship would be a national calamity
and the presence of more like him up
on the bench would insure the same
brand of justice for the millionaire
and the beggar. The big crooks are
as desperately afraid of lands as the
little ones

Big Plane Falls

Many Viroqua people took extra no
tice of the big mail plane which passed
over Thursday noon. 1t was flying
low because of the misty day, headed
straight west, and was an enormous
boat with two propellers and three
rudders, DeHaviland plane. Its sis
ter plane, coming from Minneapolis
that day was wrecked shortly after it
left the landing field. The jets of the
Pilot K. NJ. Stewart attempted to turn
back toward the Twin City landing
field and volplane down but his ma
chine went into a most dive and plung-
ed nito a plowed field. He was killed
and his machine seriously injured.
