THE JUNIOR FAIR

Much interest is being shown on the
part of Vernon county's boys and girls
in regard to the Junior Department OF
the county fair, this year. The jun
Tor Department will be housed IN the
sales pavilion this year, and it IS the
plan TO have all junior exhibits, both
animals and crops shown IN this build.
ing. which is located at the east end
of the fair grounds.
Many boys and girls fail to enter
their exhibits at the last moment, ana
thereby fail to receive the benefits
that is rightfully theirs. Every farm
boy and girl should have something
to bring in to the fair. Even If it can
not be in all cases a calf, pig, or
few chickens, doubtless there are num-
erous who who would be pleased to en-
ter various grains or vegetables, to
compare their own products with some
others boys crop this year. The par
ents can do lot to encourage their
children in this respect.
The future of any county IS no
stronger than it's boys or girls IN the
county. In fact, the boys and girls
of old Vernon are it's best crop.
Therefore, every youngster should
plan to take an active part in the fair
by entering something. of course,
not every one can win the first priez
in the various classes, but make the
other fellow know that he had to beat
you to win, anyway. The fair board
has been very generous othe Junior
Department in premium money, and
the juvenile farmers of the county
should see that all the prize money is
being vigorously contested for. So
then, lets everybody be there at the
Junior Fair with a good exhibit, and
help make Vernon County's Junior
Fair Fair the best in Wisconsin. 1t

OBITUARY

Elvin Friedrich Berg was born the
18th day of June, 1915. He was z
years, 2 months, % days of age. He
tok sick Friday, September /, and not
seriously so until Monday. Then the
doctor was called out as he continued
getting worse. He was taken to the
Lutheran Hospital at Lacrosse. The
doctors pronounced his disease Pur-
pura Hemorrhagia, disease seldom
heard of. They did everything they
could for him but his life could not
be saved and he passed away Septem-
Der 6 at 8 a. m. He leaves to mourn
their loss, his mother and father, Mr..
and Mrs. Carl Berg and his sister Sell
ma. He was a member of the Sun
day school class of the Norwegian
Lutheran church of Viroqua.
Funeral services were held from the
home and Viroqua Lutheran church
Saturday, September 9th, and inter-
ment made in the Viroqua cemetery,
Rev. d. T. Bergen officiating, Rev.

well in the average run of fields, and
if the present temperature and no rain
continues TO the end of this week the
late tobacco stands a poor chance of
making good Some of the early har-
vested leaf, where the sheds have been
takn care of, is practically cured and
has an attractive appearance. 1t will
be light in weight, undoubtedly, but
it is sound and of fair size.
Buying of tobacco in the northern
counties continues. Jackson, Barron
and Trempealeau counties have been
visited by buyers who have called on
growers who are not members of the
pool. The additional acreage sold dur
ing the present week does not repre-
sent great quantity, but in the ag-
gregate the tobacco contracted for
since the movement started several
weeks ago amounts to about 1900
acres, and there is still quite a bit
of independent acreage open to the
market.
The impression is abroad that the
pool officials and bankers committee,
which have had the appointment of
general manager under advisement for
some time, have practically arrived at
a choice. Mr. Gary is evidently out of
it as an active possibility, though his
counsels in the final choice may be re-
tanned. The choice may have been
made before this issue reaches the
readers. Tobacco Reporter.

BROWN LUCAS WEDDING

Saturday evening, September 9, at
eight o'clock, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. w. Lucas, of this city, occurred
the marriage of thier only daughter,
Catherine Elizabeth, to Clarence Ever
cite Brown of DesMoines, Iowa, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Vincent Brown of
Iowa.
The home was beautifully decorated
for the occasion, the color scheme be-
ing pink and white One corner of the
parlor was decorated to represent a
good luck horse shoe, before which
the bridal party took their places.
The impressive ring ceremony was
performed by Pastor ]. Harry Bullock.
Little Idella Lucas, a niece of the
bride, carried the ring in a rose bud.
The bride was attended by Miss Thyra
P. Smith, of DesMoines, and Mr.. w.
c. Mack, also Of DesMoines, was best
man.
Preceding the ceremony Miss Smith
sang with much expression, that sweet
old song entitled, Il Love You Truly"
with Miss Genevieve Truesdale at the
piano. Following the ceremony she
sang, "0h, Promise Me-"
The bride was attired in a gown Of
white satin canton crepe trimmed with
Spanish lace and carried a bouquet
of pink brides roses and baby breath.
The bridesmaids gown was of tan
crepe de chine with corsage bouquet
fdeep pink roses and baby breath.
The ceremony was witnessed only
by the immediate family and most in
innate friends of the bride.
Following the congratulations de
iicious light luncheon was served.
/ Mr.. and Mrs. Brown departed by car
early Monday morning for their future
home in DesMoines, where the groom
is engaged with his brother in the
practice of law.

LIGHTNING CHARGES CAR

Lightning plays many a curious
prank, and our friend James Davis
ran up against it in one of its playful
moods last Friday evening while driv-
irg along Pleasant Ridge. As the
storm approached, Jim got out of his
car to put on the side curtains. Just
as he touched on eof the snap fasten-
ers with his thumb, flash of light
ming and resounding clap of thun-
der descended upon him. The bolt
struck a short distance away, and APP
parently charged the whole body of
the car-and his htumb got the bene-
fit. 1t turned him completely around
and nearly felled him. His thumb was
not burned, but for two days Jim says
it felt as big as barrel

SLIGHT FROST in PLACES

The past few days have been trying
ones to all farmers, and especially to
growers of tobacco. Following the ex-
cessively hot weather and drought of
the past six weeks, broken last Thurs
day by copious downpours, period
of cool weather set in and light frost
was reported Monday morning, but
apparently no damage was done. The
height of the cool period has passed,
and we can reasonably look forward to
ten days or two weeks before the dam
ger point comes again.

4 MOST UNIQUE ELM

Manager Brown is surely to be con-
graduated over bringing such a uni
que and sparkling film to Viroqua as
"a Connecticut Yankee in King Ar
thurs Court" Mark Twain's great
story is brought right down to date
and the clever, catchy language used
is a real delight. Two large audiences
witnessed the film and pronounced it
the best comedy ever. And it was not
lacking in dramatic situations and
deep philosophy either.

WIS. TOBACCO MARKET

Washington-A government pool
of $500 900, 900 would be tossed into
the nations financial markets to save
the American farmer fro mfood spec
ulators and grain gamblers under a
plan sponsored in the senate by Sena-
tor King, Democrat, of Utah.
King proposed to transfer all as
sets of the war finance corporation,
now completing its post war func-
tions to the federal farm loan board
for use in extending seasonal and long
term credits to farmers or cattle rails
ers. A bill he introduced was before
the senate finance committee for con-
sideration.
King declares his plan would elm
mate food spectators who obtain con-
troll of farmers crops at cheap prices
at harvest markets. If his plan is
adopted. he commended farmers would
be saved the necessity of selling their
crops at harvest prices during flood
on the market and could obtain reason
able profit in the open market under
the law of supply and demand.
The plan was said to meet the APP
proval of members of the senate agri-
cultural "bloe" and probably will be
considered by that body at a special
meeting. 1t was said the plan would
enable farmers to obtain credit for
their fall and winter planting and IN
time to be of benefit for the spring
crops.
With the war finance corporation
$500, 100000 capital placed at the dis
posal of farmers, farm associations or
individuals could obtain loans from
the government on receipt for crops
stored in warehouses pending their
disposal on the open market. Loans
could also be obtained by cattle raisers
on stock held on the pending sales in
the seasonal markets.
my plan is to transfer the func-
tons of the war finance corporation
and its great funds to the farm board"
said King "These assets would be
employed to discount paper represent
ing debts incurred to sustain agricul-
ture or live stock production. 1t would
give the government a ready fund to
make loans to cooperate associations
or individual farmers on warehouse
receipts for farm products.
Edgerton, Wis, Sept 8, 1922.
It was noised abroad during the
early part y IJtle week JtidJ Soiite w.
bacco had been contracted for in the
Nora Cottage Grove section. I h e
packer reported to have acquired the
tobacco was seen and he denied point
blank that he had bought any southern
tobacco of the 1922 crop in the fields
or shed up to the middle of this week.
That does not say that some contract
ing of southern tobacco may not be

toned is considerable acreage of to-
bacco not in the pool, and some of the
best southern Wisconsin leaf is raised
in that neighborhood.
The harvest Of tobacco is not speed
ed up by the kind of weather we have
been having during the past three
weeks, and a vast amount of tobacco
is still in the field. 1t is not faring
