A GORGEOUS SUNSET IN
WILLOW VALLEY HILLS

Last Thursday evening during the
waning twilight there appeared a
phenomenon the like of which the
writer has witnessed but few times in
fifty years. In the afternoon of that
day the overhead clouds which had
accumulated until they resembled
mountains and then changed their po-
sition by becoming lowering and SOM
bre, assuming the appearance of a
vast pail from sky line to sky line.
After the sun had sank below the hor-
lion it broke through the dark cur
tain of clouds and flooded the whole
overhead with a bright yellow glow
which resembled a lining of beaten
gold. This beautiful hue, spread far
and wide, was reflected to the surface
below and for the space of ten min
utes the reflection from the clouds
bathed the whole landscape with the
yellow tint. Especially were the dull
colored roads, plowed fields and house
tops dressed in FURNISHED gold. The
green of the forests, meadows, pas
lures and grain fields were touched by
the brilliant coloring making pic
ture for several minutes that was SUI
perbly grand.-WilloW Valley writer

CAMPAIGN AGAINST MOB
RULE IN VERNON COUNTY

VIROQUA, Wis.-Fighting practi-
Cally alone, Adolph Heinz, district at
torney of Vernon county, Thursday
launched a crusade against organized
lawlessness in the Mississippi river
towns of Vernon county, declaring the
situation which eliminated in a riot
at Stoddard, when mob of hoodlums
destroyed the village Jail to release
four alleged moonshiners who had
been taken in a raid on a dance hall,
can no longer be tolerated.
In support Of Mr.. Heinz are actively
enlisted Undersheriff Rogers, four
green but loyaP' deputy sheriffs, and
the law abiding opinion of the river
towns, led by Charles T. White, mayor
of Stoddard. Arrayed against him are
the rough and ready characters of the
river country and an apparently we'll
organized moonshining and bootleg
ging clique, whose headquarters, he
charges are in La Crosse.
Mr. Heinz declared wholesale ar
rests are imminent as a result of the
disorders at Stoddard
Among the greatest handicaps to
his crusade, Mr.. Heinz said, was "the
absolute indifference of certain La
Crosse and Vernon county officials -
He was particularly acrid in his
criticism Of La Crosse, declaring
former bartenders, whose sole sup
port and aim in life is moonshining
and rough houses" operate unhin-

It has short seasons and less precipitation than ideal corn country. So the peasants know little about corn meal and the art of making corn bread. honinv and corn meal nush

 Plans were made to rush it imme- dlately to Rostotf on Don and thence to famine relief central stations in the Southern Nolga area and into the hands of peasants without any effort at milling.
 The Noga country is full of wind driven mills which can probably be 2 d uSted so as to grind the corn.
