A Community XMAS TREE

The Community Club of Viroqua en-
joyed a most pleasant meeting last
Friday evening. Nearly seventy-five
members sat down to the fine chicken
supper served at Miss Latta's Eat
Shop, and enjoyed the meal and the
flow of good-fellowship.
Following the supper, the Club dis
cussed several propositions, but prin-
cipally that of having a community
Christmas tree in Viroqua, and it was
wisely decided to celebrate the Yule-
tide in this manner.
Next meeting of the Viroqua Com
munity Club will be held at Miss Lat
ta's Eat Shop Friday evening, De-
cember 18th, preluded by another of
those highly enjoyable suppers. May
or A. E. Smith was appointed by the
president as chairman of the commit
tee on arrangements for the commun-
ity Christmas tree, with power to APP
point his helpers, and the main bust
ness of this meeting will be the dis
cussion of this holiday event.
The club is growing nicely, 119
names now being enrolled on the
books. 1t was decided to separate the
Offices of secretary and treasurer, and
Ralph E. Nuzum was elected treasu-
rer.

REMEMBER THE BIG
POULTRY EXHIBIT

All those interested in the breeding
of good poultry should keep in mind
the second annual exhibit of the YER
non Poultry Breeders Association to
be held at the Opera House in Viroqua
next week, December 10, IA and Is.
Last years show was a real one, the
judge saying that many shows which
had been going for years did not have
half the birds on exhibition. 1t is
hoped that this years show will be
better than the first one One of the
best judges in the state, Holman of
Lacrosse, has been selected to score
the birds, and all exhibitors will re-
ceive square deal, and undoubtedly
get many pointers of value from the
judge.
In the premium list published in
last weeks Censor, mistake crept
in. The premium in the English class
should have read $500 instead of So.
In addition to the membership spe-
Gals shown last week, Surenson &
Thompson offer a premium of S1.00 in
trade to the person having the best
bird in the show.

MAKE CHRISTMAS SAFE

A wagon load of Christmas trees
went up the street the other day as
John Dawson & Co., local agents of
the Hartford Fire Insurance Company
was talking with a member of the
Censor staff.
II suppose" said Mr.. Dawson, nod
ding toward the evergreens, "that at
least one of those trees will be indi-
rectly responsible for a fire in some
body's house before the holiday sea-
son is over"
"How so?" asked the newspaper
man.
well, there are still some people
and cotton and then use candles to
light them. The combination is bad
one and has caused the loss of many
lives and much valuable property.
you remember that Mrs. Harding
was going to adorn the White House
windows with lighted candles last
Christmas Eve. A representative of
the Underwriters Laboratories, an or
ganization which devotes its energies
to preventing fires, telegraphed to the
President and asked him not to do so
because his example would be widely
followed and would turn Christmas
Day into day of mourning in many
homes.
"The candles did not appear. / sin
cerely hope that the people Of Viroqua
and vicinity win light their trees by
electricity this year. A tree lighted
by bulbs of different colors is just as
pretty as one lighted with candles
and it isn't dangerous"

REV. BULLOCK TO LEAVE

Sincere regret is expressed not only
by the Christian church congregation
but by the city as whole over the
announcement that Pastor ]. Harry
Bullock is to leave Viroqua and will
enter the pulpit of the Christian
church in the city of Beloit on Janu-
airy LIST. For over six years Rev. Bull
lock has been a tower of strength IN
the Christian church in this city. A
pulpit orator of far more than ordin-
airy ability, remarkable organizer
and tireless worker he is indeed, and
our loss win be hard to repair. His
success in building up his church in
Viroqua has been most remarkable
and it viii be extremely difficult to
fill his place. We congratulate him
on his advancement, and wish for him
the best of everything in the new field.
He will occupy the pulpit lately fill
ed by Rev. Gerald Smith, an old viro-
qua boy. We regret to learn that
Gerald has suffered another nervous
breakdown which has necessitated his
retirement from active work in the
ministery.

Odd FELLOW ROLL CALL

Invitation cards have been issued
for the annual Roll Cali of the odd
Fellow lodge which will be held at
the lodge hall on Saturday evening
of this week, the supper commencing
at six o'clock. The annual roll call is
one of the most enjoyable events in
the Odd Fellow calendar, and no doubt
the usual jolly bunch of Odd Fellows
and Rebeccas and their husbands es-
corts and wives will be in attendance.
A fine program is being prepared
which will be followed by cards and
dancing, and you will miss a royal
good time if you fail to attend.

"Now is the time when every good
Legionaire should come to the aid of

bucks for membership fees for 1923.
While the dues for our Post are only
SO and as 81 out of that SO goes to
pay National and state dues, a great
many members will wonder how this
Post can operate on the one dollar per
member. 1t is because the expense of
running the Post has been kept down
to a minimum, and because in 1922
every member put his shoulder to the
wheel and helped put across the big
events we staged. We do not intend
to raise the dues, and want every man
who does not pay his dues before Jan
uary 1st, 1928, to remember that your
American Legion Weekly will be i'm
meliately STOPPED, and in fact the files
will be closed as far as the National
and State departments are concerned.
At the last meeting plans were I'M
der way for the second annual min
strel show, to be shown at the Temple
Theatre some time in January. There
is a good live committee in charge of
the event, and it should surpass last
years show, if that is possible. You
all remember how we had to play
three nights to satisfy all the public.
While the Temple Theatre is much
larger than the old Opera House, the
play will be shown on two nights.
Every member should be present
this Friday night, as important mat
ters will come up, and a good attend
ance is anticipated.

times he was too anxious and raster
than his interference, getting caught
lin n lam before he had Travelled lar,
but usually when Scotty was gwen
the ball, FL Centre made their DIS
|tance.
HoltvilIe rcsorted to the aerial
ramc more than FL Centre and tired
many forward passes. The majority
of them were broken up by the ri
Centre gang but few went through
successfully for good gains. The
passing of Whitlock, the Iloltville full
back was extremely good, but the IN
ability of the ends to get through the
El Centre line caused many beautiful
pass TO 90 for naught. Holtville tried
several trick plays, with little II any
success.
Ell Centre rcsortcd more TO straight
football, ripping away ut the Holtville
line until it crumbled before the on
slaunht of the backfield, who sent
Scott through again and again for
gains.
Ell Centre scored their touchdown
earlv in the first quartcg, when due to
inaccurate passing by the lioltville
center, FL Centro got the ball% Holt
villc's 10 yard line and series of line
plunges sent Kliegel over with what
proved to be the winning points of the
game. Holtvillc came back in the see
ond quarter with nice field goal sby
Whitlock from III Centro's 30 yard
line, which ended the scoring. There
after the game see-sawed up and down

out Of the danger zone when either
goal was threatened.

Ell CENTRIC HIGH
GAINED VICTORY
OVER HOLTVILLE
Scott, Kliegel, Williams,
Stars of Game; Scores
Made in First Half

Central Union Highs doughty pig
skin warriors bumped and Jared their
way over to Holtville yesterday after
noon and then bumped and Jared their
way to a 6-3 victory over the husky
Holtville eleven in the first football
game OF the season. The day was too
hot for football, but both teams man
aged to stick through four II minute
periods without any material damage,
though near the finish it looked as
though some Of the boys would have
TO be carried off the field, due to the
strenuousness with which each team
fought.
1t is q little too early in the season
to expect good football and consider
ing the number of green men ON each
team, the brand displayed ut Hoitville
was mighty good. If one were to pick
the star of the game, it would have to
be Scott, the III Centre halfback
though Captain Kliegei and Williams,
the giant Holtyille guard would each
run him Il close second, and with
Byrd, the Holtville halfback looming
up strong.
This boy 'sscotty' can play foot
ball and it was a pleasure to watch
him hitting the Holtvillc line and
worming his way through their de-
Tense, or carrying the ball for an end
run. He is built close TO the ground
and reminded one of jaek-rabbit as
