AMERICAN LEGION NOTES.

The Women's Auxiliary will meet
Friday afternoon of this week at their
regular nesting and q special pro-
gram has been prepared. Every men,
Der should attend and see the program
and get an idea as to the progress the
Auxiliary is making. The Auxiliary
will not meet with the post in the
evening as at first planned.
Every member Of the American Lee
gion Post is requested TO be present
in the evening on Friday of this week,
as all committees will report on the
Memorial Day plans. It is going to
take the Cooperation of every men,
Der of the Post to put across good
program, and as many questions will
be discussed, it is hoped that all win
turn out.
The post furnished an escort to the
funeral of VIM. Mills on Wednesday
of this week at the Christian church,
and the following men were there in
uniform to act as pall-bearers, Amund
O. Tuhus, John Bann, Graydon Slack,
Ernest Stout, Fred Rhodes and d. E.
Slack. The ranks of the Grand Old
Army are fast thinning out, and it is
up to the American Legion to carry
1t is great honor conferred upon
the American Legion to be called upon
to pay last respects to the old COM
rades, and one which is cherished by
the members. MIR. Mills served nine
months in the service of his country,
and was a member of the 42nd Wis
consin regiment.
The American Legion, in adopting
the report of its National American
ism Commission decided to comment
crate the birthdays of two great Amer
leans, namely, Ulysses S Grant and
Robert Z. Lee. April 9th of this year
marks the one hundredth birthday of
President Grant and it is highly fitting
that we as Americans should in some
appropriate way, celebrate or observe
this occasion. April 9th, 1922, the
Posts all over the United States viii
celebrate the birthday of General II. S.
Grant. January 10th. 1928, the birth
day Of General Robert E. Lee. An
out-pouring of all our people to cele-
brate the anniversary of the birth of
these great Americans will be effective
argument that all sectionalism is bur-
led and the glory of the nation is the
chief concern of every patriotic citizen.
A bulletin board will soon be placed
in the Post Office for the use of all
Legion men. On it will be posted any
news of interest to the ex-soldier, and
notices issued by the Post officers.
Don't forget the Friday night meet
ing, and come with the idea of ex-
pressing yourself as to the way you
want the Legion to observe Memorial
Day. d. e. S.

A Second Candidite

The second candidate to announce

second candidate for the same Office,
Frank H. Rogers of this city having
thrown his hat into the ring as
seeker after the Office of sheriff. Mr..
Rogers made very capable official
during the two terms he occupied the

would not again fill it well and faith
fully. He has the advantage of plenty
of experience in that line, having been
also undersheriff two terms, and hav-
ing filled several town offices at Reads
town previous to his moving to Viro-
qua to take up the duties of sheriff,
Frank is generally well liked, and is

Mr.PropertyOwner:

Have you considered the
fact that bad storms are
predicted for Vernon
County this year?
Can you recall the storms
of past years?
Will your wind insurance
be adequate. and in COM
panies which have milli-
ons of dollars of capital
to back YOU up in case
of loss?
Most farmers do not con-
slider the fact that they
can buy wind insurance
in strong, reliable COM
panies, al a price per
thousand which should
enable every property
holder to carry his insur-
ance up to the value of
the property.
Service goes with every
policy we sell.
