THIS AND THAT
HECElvEs LETTER FROM
 COLD RAY OIL FIELDS

In letter from Oscar Crockstead who is in Kodiak, Ivan Scheike is in receipt of some interesting news re- garding the oil fields.
 Oscar states that the oil boom suffered lull for a period due to involved law suits, but that now the fields are experiencing new lease of life. 1000 people had arrived in Oct. and more were still coming. It reminded him of the Nome days of 1900. Meals are $1.25 and people have to sleep on the floor. Many new buildings are going up and prosperity seems to have come to stay.
 Charles Madsen formerly of Nome has a store and is reported as doing well. ,..a
 Oscar states that he will most likely move to the oil fields and at tempt to wrest fortune from the new venture.

\. E. BARN DANCE
 WAS GREAT SUCCESS

The reputation of the local Camp of the Arctic Brotherhood. gained in many successful social events in the past 20 years, suffered no dimi- mutton last Saturday night. when that which has become a.recognized social event, the A. B. Barn Dance, was given at the A. B. Hall.
 The attendance was large. the music was simply grand and every body appeared to be enjoying them selves to the limit. At this dance, when about midnight it was dis covered that many ladies had en- gagged SO many dances in advance that the. dancers, were experiencing all the disadvantages of a, program dance, the management announced that from that time until the Home Sweet Home Waltz, a custom lately become popular at some Social dan ces outside, that of making all dan- ces "Cut In' dances, would prevail 1; thereby making it possible for any gentleman to cut in on any couple at any time.
 At first some were displeased at thus having their engagements in- terfered with, but after the new style was in full swing all seemed to enjoy the Innovation.
 It is with much pleasure that we note the A. B's intend to give an. other dance on January goth. and akho they have net given out it's nature. we know that the dancing public Will be looking forward to that date It is also rumored that they intend to give an April Fool Party OH March 3Oth.

TOMBSTONE ARIZONA GETS
 NEW LEASE OF LIFE


 Nome numbers among it's citizens men and women who in years past spent pleasant and exciting days in the town of. Tombstone. Arizona. They remember the early boom days when every man carried gun and drank his flicker" raw: when a six-shooter was the law and the quickest man on the draw won the game. Those days have past, the old town has emerged from her frontier days and now assumes the aspect of modern city. The fol- lowing clipping is taken from the Arizona State Miner. edited by H. E. Watson, former Nomeite, we'll known as Harry Rivers, the comed- ian. in the early days of our camp. Tombstone, the wild and woody camp of 40 years ago, is to have all its streets graded and ditched, while Alien Street is to be paved. During the past 20 years Tombstone has been little more than quiet old camp, housing a population about equal to Wfckenburg and similar in it's environments. New blood will assert itself and the mod ern transfusion seems to be equal to putting new life and energy into the town and attracting more resi- dents." t...

VIROQUA SOCIAL EVENTS ECHOES OF THE ICE STORM

AS the full realization of the awful
havoc wrought by the merciless coat
ing OF ice Sits into Viroqua, it is seen
that the damage is greater than was
at first supposed. From Winona on
the north to the south line of Wiscon-
sin; extending into eastern Iowa and
Minnesota and eastward to the central
part of our state, the same conditions
prevailed. In this area, telephone and
light wires were almost totally wreck.
ed. and damage to timber is beyond
estimating.
A strange trick Of the storm IL that
the valley damage Is very slight. AS
you drop into any Of the vallies in this
locality, feeble telephone lines are I'M
inJured--a few degrees of higher tenn
perature prevented the formation Of
ice. But the valleys did get bap-
tism Of water that would have been
most serious in the summer. The
frozen ground prevented washing. and
the Ice blanket made the running wat
.er clear and free of debris so that it
passed on to the sea without taking
out bridges, etc. The Kickapoo val
ley experienced high water TO within
six inches Of the high mark of 1907,
Soldiers Grove and Gays Mills having
NNsSA w w the uISt iloOrS OF the DuSl-
ness places. Il passed away quite
quickly and the damage was not ma
terial.
The very worst weather conditions
have prevailed since the storm-be-
low zero part Of the time, and the ice
sun covering the trees and wires ,mak-
ing resumption Of wire and light SER
vice slow and difficult job. The trees
or rather what is left Of them--are
still bent down and many win never
resume. their upright bearing when
relieved OF the ice burden.
"A J. Favor walked down from Cash
ton, Thursday, when the Milwaukee
found It impossible to procede on ac-
count OF ice over the rails. The train
was derailed on siding at Cashton 10
add to the other troubles. Assistant
Postmaster f. NJ. Nye and. Carrier
James Honaker drove up Friday to
get the lock pouches but met the
train coming down at 2:20 and had the
trip for nothing. The Kickapoo was
without train service for several days.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

ID. h. 5.
On account of the severe storm of
last week, and the light service be-
ing crippled. it was impossible to hold
the meeting in the Band Hall, as
scheduled for last Friday night. This
VIII throw our next meeting two
weeks from last Friday night, and
every member is urged TO be pres
ent at our first meeting in our new
quarters, which viii be on March TO-
One Of the main things to be taken
up at our next meeting will be the
plans and arrangements for Memoir
ial Day. The VIM. A. Jacobson Post
VIII work in conjunction with the
schools and nothing but bad weather
VIII prevent its being a red letter day
for the American Legion.
At the end of 1921. the Department
of Wisconsin was nth in size. in re-
CARDS TO the number of members
which it had. Weekly reports of the
membership cards received at the
State Department Office shows Wis
consin in 18th place with IL ,26l mem
bers. On March LIST, the names of all
members who have not renewed for
1922 will be dropped from the mall
ing list of the American Legion Week
". If any of the members who sign
ed up recently do not receive their
paper, they should notify C.. A. Cutter,
at the Farmers Bank and he will be
glad to straighten it out.
Critics of the American Legion are
of two kinds: Those who are entitled
to belong to the Legion, by reason of
their war service. but do not, and
those who are ineligible for member
ship.
We may disagree with the second
class in their reasoning but we must
admit their right to their opinion.
With the first class, a feeling of inn
patience is not illogical.
The ex-serviee man who does not
take advantage of his privilege of
joining the American Legion but who
carps and criticises from without, is
the same as the American citizen who
rails at dirty politics and then refuses
TO go to the polls and cost his vote.
1t Is obvious that If he doesn't take
enough interest in his country to do
his bit in running it he has no right
70 resent acknowledgement of its af-
fairs.
The nation is DESTROYS of knowing
what are the sentiments and require
ments of its fighters. The nation
wants the disabled to have square
deal and for all ex-service men to
feel that they are not the victims of
ingratitude. The nation is glad that
there is one big organization o {
Worll War soldiers, sailors and ma
rines that has authority, based on
representation to say, This is what
we want. This is what we believe we
deserve. This is what we demand for
our sick a NJ disabled comrades. .
Men who are eligible to join the Amer
lean Legion should do so and help 10
keep it one big outfit.
Come on fellows, let's all get a
member and make II 500 for 1929.
