PIPE OF PEACE ISSUED

sThe Pipe of Peace" annual organ
of the Senior Glass of Viroqua High
School, is in the hands of the class
and the Censor force is mighty glad of
it. 1t is book of 152 pages with a
classy two-color coyer--the choicest
bit of quality printing on big scale
issued in the county in some years.
We spared neither time nor expense
in making it book of which the com
munity and school and ourselves could
be proud, and how well we succeeded
is best expressed by the delight of the
class, and the remark by one of the
Lacrosse printing houses that 1t is
the equal of any city work. The Gem
scr editor and foreman have not miss
ed night in the last five weeks, work
ing on the book sometimes beyond mid
night, and the book was gotten TO the
class on the specified night regardless
of two weeks delay in starting.
The binding of the annual was en-
trusted to Bookbinder Nekola of La
Crosse, and as that gentleman had
only five ANIMALS to bind at this time,
Editor Goldsmith and Foreman Sher-
rick and their wives drove there Sun
day and assisted in the binding in or
der that the book might be delivered
on time.
On the trip we passed the sad auto
wreck ON Middle Ridge in which a
Maxwell car driven by Sid Bristow of
Lacrosse which left the paved road
and rolled down steep embankment,
killing w r. Peterson and probably
fatally injuring the driver. Owing to
the similarity in names, the story gain
ed circulation here that Ed Peterson
and Alex Ristow were occupants of
the car. Another man and dog rid
ing in the rear seat were uninjured.
The men were returning from dance
on StJoseph Ridge. Sunday afternoon
above Lacrosse, a young man met
death when his car went over an en-
bankment.

VIROQUA BEATS CASHTCN

The unexpected surely happened last
Sunday when Viroquas ball team lit
orally mopped up the earth with the
hard-hitting Cashton bunch, Due to
the bad start that our team has had,
the loyal fans looked upon the Cashton
team with fear and trembling especiai-
ly after the two awful beatings the
Cashton boys administered to Sparta,
but their fears rapidly changed TO Joy
as our boys connected with Shotten
at will and the scores mounted up
yiroqua winning by 1S to score.
1t was a slug-fest right. our team
getting IS hits off Shotten that were
good for 25 bases. He struck out ii
and issued one pass. Hastings worked
fine for Viroqua. He was touched for
8 scattered hits, issued pass and hii
man. Cashton made eight fielding
errors, Viroqua five.
Viroqua has discovered a ball play

but Il enables Curt to plug up that aw.
full hole on the infeld, and is a won,
derful strengthened TO our team
Stanley got two fouls of the grand
stand fence-a stunt seldom pulled
across by any catcher but Curt.
Bunny Kuehn made an AWFUL poor
showing. Out of six times at bat he
only got on six times---flve hits and an
error. Bunny has batted close to 200
so far this season.
Hastings had good control and an
unhittable underhanded bali that kept
him master of the situation at all
times Shotten Ind lots OF stuff bat
kept growing them and our boys
batting eye was working
Viroqua pulled off one double play
Boots TO Lad to Harris.
Curt worked fine on short--as usual
Harris played finn ball at LIST Lad

A NEW PHYSICIAN

Viroqua has q new physician in the
person of DIR. II. G. Erickson, who has
located over Dahl's Drug Store. DIR.
Erickson practiced at Stanley before
the war. He spent two years in the
service of Uncle Sam as Captain in
the Medical Corps, being both gassed
and wounded. Following his discharge
he located at Marinette, but the damp
climate did not agree with him and
impelled him to move to this city.
Capt. Erickson was awarded the
Croix de Guerre for conspicuous SER
vice by the French government. He
was with the 127th Infantry, Sind
Division. He has had twelve years
of medical practice, a graduate of
Minnesota University, one year at st.
Joseph hospital in St.Paul, nearly a
year at the Mayo clinic at Rochester,
and ran his own hospital for a year.

ABOUT AUTO VIOLATIONS

! Rumor, that wonderful old dame
Who tells so much that isn't true, is at
il again--this time spreading all sorts
Of false tales concerning the manner
in which Viroqua officials are enforc-
| ing the auto laws. IL is said that our
| farmer friends are being pinched on
split-hair violations. The truth is that
not one farmer has been arrested so
| far, because citizens Of Viroqua are
assumed to know the local restrictions
better than those who reside outside
our borders. 1t is also said that the
| fines administered have been excessive.
The fines have been most mild-from
| $500 TO $5.00--except in case or
| two where the state law has been vio-
lated, and the law prescribes minimum
| penalties for state law violations over
which local officials have no power.
II is also said that the police officers
get part of the fines. The entire fines
go in to the city treasury. What a
wonderful old world we would have IL
people could only bride their tongues
when Dame Rumor whispers in their
ears until they could get to headquar-
tiers and fjiId out the truth
Gentle reader, do you know that the
| first year the pavement was laid in
| Richland Center three people were
killed by automobiles Pavement in
vites congested traffic and speeding
and speeding invites disaster. Every
city that lays pavement finds that in
order to protect the lives Of her people
| it is necessary to enforce the state
auto laws and also enact some local
regulations. These laws and regula-
lions are always reasonable, and con-
stitute a proper protection TO both
drivers and pedestrians.
The Censor has repeatedly publish
ed the main points in the law for the
information Of drivers and will again
do so that none may be ignorant to
them: Speed limit in cities Is miles
per hour; past school houses 8; in the
country 80. The man to your right
always has the right Of way at inter
sections. Don't turn your car except
at intersections (never in the middle
Of the block. Park your car at a 40
degree angle to the curb on Main be-
tween Decker and Terhune Never
park closer than 10 feet to any cross.
ing or 20 feet to any fire plug Never
drive in city limits with your muller
open. Never cut corners. If there is
no silent policeman at an intersection
just imagine there is and go around
him on the right side. Throw out
your hand when you stop or turn (this
is not law, but a proper precaution.)
Never drive without two lights in
front and one in the rear at night.
Observance of the above viii enable
you to "get by, not only in Viroqua
but any city in Wisconsin, barring a
few local regulations. IL You are
driving in large cities you will find the
no-parking areas plainly marked.
When a street car ahead Of you and
going in the same direction stops 10
discharge passengers, do not pass IL.
Stop your car and wait until 1t starts.
If you park at night IN any Of the
cities the size of Lacrosse remember
that parking light on your rear fend-
er is now required.
