"SCHOOL DAYS" AT THE REX s.,
BEGINNING NEXT SUNDAY

. Freckle-faced, Wesley Barry, the
inimitable movie celebrity, will grace
the screen Of the Rex theater for
four days beginning Sunday in his
latest starring vehicle, "School Days"
made from the Gus Edwards classic
of the same name.
The very mention of the words
"School IDays'' holds an appeal for
young and old, and it is said that
every mother who has boys, every
man whotremembers his boyhood,
every human being who can thrill to
the joys, the disappointments, the
pranks and the glory of boyhood will
gloat over the trials and tribulations
of Speck Brown, better known to
the screen world as Wes' Barry.
Briefly the story centers around a
small town boy who loves the old
swimmin' hole and his dog. Hippy,
better than anything else in the world
He meets a wealthy uncle who sends
him east to get an education. Here
he meets many youngsters of veal
thy parents, and he finds himself out
of the social swim. He is beset by
many trials and tribulations, and
finally he goes back home to his
faithful dog and his little country
sweetheart via the freight train
route. -, +.
7: There are said to be many other
interesting high-lights in the picture,
in addition to a cast composed of
number of players who have graced
the screen in scores of productions:
The cast includes, in support of Wes'
Barry, Nellie P. Spaulding, Margaret
Seldom, Jerome Patrick, George Les
sey, Airline Blackburn, J. H. Gilmore,
John. .Galsworthy, Eveline Sherman,'
Francis X3 Conlan and Arnold Lucy.
The production was made by Harry
Rapf, and directed by William Nigh.

TOBACCO POOL PROGRESS

During the last week a number of
rules to guide the farmers in the strip
ping and handling of their tobacco
were sent to every pool member. These
rules are very simple and the things
that almost every farmer knows, but
there are many who do not realize the
advantage in having a uniform system
of handling. The pool management
sent these out because they knew that
they will be of direct benefit to the
pool, and it is the sincere hope of the
management that every farmer will
give his hearty support in putting this
uniform system across.
In the same envelope sent to pool
members a postal card was included
addressed to pool headquarters at
Madison. This card, which is to be
filled out by grower gives the Name,
Postoffice Address and Township in
which grower lives, the number of
acres grown by him, the number of
acres that is fit for asserting, the
number of acres of hail cut and the
number of acres of low grades. This
information will be of great value to
the pool in determining the number of
warehouses that will be needed, and
the approximate number of acres of
low grade tobacco that viii be for sale
The success of these undertakings
will depend entirely upon the honesty
and integrity of the farmer. However,
when the farmer realizes after the
first year of operation that these
things are of direct benefit to him,
his cooperation will be more easily
acquired. The buyers of low-grade
tobacco always figure on a certain
"a FVwNt e L. Il j -sAw-
dead tobacco and pay accordingly.
The pool will endeavor to remedy this
evil.
A farmer who put his tobacco into
the local pool at Viroqua had thirteen
cases of damaged tobacco on account
of too high case. The loss to this
farmer was large, and he will realize
the Importance of not having the to-
bacco in too high case. For this rea-
son, the pool will be forced to consider
the handling of tobacco in determin-
ing the grade. 1t would not be fair to
good handlers to stand loss on ac-
count of poor handlers.
Mr.. c. N. Pulley of the Division of
Markets, was in the Northern section
last week gathering samples from re-
preventative crops, to help them de-
termine the grades to be established
for tobacco in the bundle. The system
to be followed in grading will be an
nounced in full in the near future.
The local pool at Viroqua sold their
entire packing of 1000 cases to Cen
eral Cigar Company at price rang
ing from be to 45c pound. The To-
baeeo is to be shipped and paid for i'm
mediately. The local operations of
Pool meant an additional income of
around s70,000.00 to Viroqua and vi
cinity.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD

"The people of Viroqua and of the
United States at large have much to
be thankful for this year" declared
Mr.. Mork, President of the Farmers
Bank, in commenting on the distinct
Improvement in the business outlook
at this time.
The Improvement in labor condi-
tons generally has given a highly
optimistic tone to the situation. The
strikes fthe railway shopmen, the
miners, and in the east, the textile
workers, have been settled and this
has caused a large increase in the gem
eral volume of employment. Coupled
with this, there has been a marked
upward tendency in the trend of wages
Federal Reserve statistics show that
the period from August 18th to Sep
TENDER 18th, contained the largest
number of wage increases reported in
any month since the decline of bust
ness activity in 1920.
practically all the large industries
have reprted increased production dur
ing the fall months. OF course, the
mining output has shown tremendous
expansion, in some areas being con-
siderabiy larger than the average for
this period. The continued large de-
mand of the automobile companies and
the railroads has caused the iron fur
naces and steel mills to increase their
rate of production. The cotton mills
and knit goods factories, and to some
extent, the wooden mills, have shown
increasing activity,
Wholesale trade, also, has improv-
ed substantially with general increases
in sales Of dry goods, furniture and
shoes.
Il see in this improved condition a
better outlook for agricultural re-
gions", Mr.. Mork concluded, "for with
better trade, will come increased spend
ing ability, and a better market for
farm products"
