MEMORIAL DAY IN NORRIS
WILLIE

The arrangements for the order of
exercises for Decoration Day are well
along toward completion. 1t is hoped
that the general public will under
stand that the celebration of this day
will begin with large parade, con-
sisting of the military or patriotic
organizations and civic societies and
organizations, school children, etc.
marshaled by Glenn A. Wilkins, and
led by the Morrisville Military Band
at 9:30 a. m. The line of the march
will be from Pleasant street, where
the parade will form to Hutchins
street, to Portland to Lower Main, to
High, to Union, to Congress, to Main,
to the Academy Park, where the ex-
ercises will be held, which will include
the program as given below.
1t is very necessary that all who
are to take part in this parade re-
port in the vicinity of Pleasant street
as early as 900 a. M, that there may
| be no unnecessary confusion or diff
Guilty in starting on the line of march
at $3.50 a. m. sharp. 1t is hoped that
the merchants will close their stores
on this day in respect to the day and
its great object. This is done in all
of the larger places, and it is most
appropriate. The person who will
not close shop on this day, who is not
willing to sacrifice to this extent
does not deserve the support of the
soldier trade. 1t is earnestly re-
quested that all show their respect
for this legal holiday by displaying
flags and decorating their homes and
places of business with bunting, etc.
Let us endeavor to make our village
look the patriotism she ought to look
and feel on this occasion. Clean up.
Doll up. Trim up. Let US do every
thing to keep our people at home on
that day and attract as many from
the outside as possible. ~
Following is the program of the
exercises of the day---Glenn A. Will

shal of parade:

Community TREE
A Big SUCCESS

No more happy occasion has been
put across in Viroqua in many years
than that fine Christmas observance
last Saturday evening, when at least
two thousand people and kiddies gath
cred on Main street about that beau
tiful big Christmas tree to enjoy the
program and make the youngsters
happy.
Promptly at 6:45 the tree was light
ed up, and a beautiful pine it was
tall and imposing, of symetrical form,
brilliant with its trimming Of many
eolored lights.
The band played several selections,
the children sang Christmas carols,
and a combination choir from the Con-
gregational, Methodist and Christian
churches sang several of the precious
old Christmas hymns. The children
formed -four abreast for several blocks
down the street and marched past the
tree, receiving presents as they pass
ed. AT the psychological moment,
dear old Santa Claus drove down the
street with whole load of presents.
Someone suggested that Santa was
built good deal like Abraham Jeru-
salem there was a suspicious re-
semblance, indeed.
Well, taken altogether it certainly
was a happy time, and the Commun-
ity Club which fostered the idea, the
business men who donated so literally,
and all who contributed of their time
and effort to make it success are en-
titled to the sincere appreciation of
this community. It is beautiful Gus
tom and we hope viii be observed each

If we can get FIVE or more recruits

plane to here, that is of course if the
weather permits. / do not know yet
how we're to go but if the weather is
fine no doubt but we will come by
plane. This station desires about two
hundred recruits to go to school to
learn technical trade. We have about
"a trades here to teach. Last year
we taught about 1000 men but these
are all transferred out and it is neces-
sary to get some more in order to keep
the school open the rest of the year.
So il you know any desirable ma
terial who wish to take a six months
course in some trade let me know and
sure will drop in and pay you a
visit. The only reason we are going
out to Wisconsin to recruit is because
we have almost all of the best men
recruited around here in Illinois, and
if you think there is a possible chance
of picking up a few high class men
let me know and viii come down and
look the ground over. Let me know
how the weather is also, If there is
any snow on the ground, also if its
possible for a ship to land on the Fair

THE GREATEST DAIRY
BREED in THE WORLD

Happy, healthy, handsome Holsteins
cover Wisconsin like a great Black
and White blanket--travel where you
will you cannot forget them. Wiscon-
sins landscape is not complete with
out them and Wisconsin's greatness
as a commonwealth is attributed to
them.
Wisconsin enlisted the aid of science
in her development and now leads the
world in tuberculosis free herds and
Cow Testing Associations. They elm
mate guess-work as to the health and
production ability of our cattle.
Wisconsin has 1877 testing associa-
tions in operation in az counties and
the cows on test aggregate 10000
head. Fully 75%o are Holsteins. Last
year 5000 official A. r. o. tests for
special records wereconducted on Hol-
stems. Holsteins lead the world,
which is admitted by the most dis
corning critics.
When you think of dairy cattle,
think as the majority Of dairymen
have thought, H0LSTEINS.

HUNTER IS KILLED

One of the saddest tragedies ever
enacted in this section occurred on the
Ray Slack farm south of Liberty Pole
on Sunday of last week, when Henry
Hill was accidentally shot by his bro
Their, James. The two boys were menu
bers of party who were hunting jack
rabbits in the pasture half-mile west
of the Slack home. The two brothers
were on opposite sides of a dense
patch of high weeds, neither knowing
the others location exactly. A jack
rabbit ran between them and James
fired, the bullet going through the
weeds and striking his brother in the
abdomen. The unfortunate lad was
carried to the Slack home where he
expired half hour after receiving the
fatal shot.
The two boys We're sons of Mr.. and
Mrs. Madison Hill of Soldiers Grove.
Henry was II years old. He was laid
to rest at North Clayton last Wednes-
day afternoon, beside the body of his
brother who was drowned in the flood
following the big storm on May 20,
1920. The Oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hill served in hte world war and was
twice seriously wounded. The deepest
sympathy of the whole community is
extended to them in the tragic death
of their young son.

This, to my notion, is poor way to

nowledge in some personal way every

Had so many flowers sent me that

think / was somebody and came from
somewhere. One of the nurses said
to me: "That Viroqua must be an
awful large town, to judge by what we
hear and see at this hospital" | ans
wered: at is the biggest little town
in the state of Wisconsin, and then
some" Flowers came from friends
and organizations in Viroqua and in
Lacrosse, so many, that one time !
began to look and think about IL.
had good cry all by myself.
About rs people called on me dur
ing my stay. Had no time TO get lone
some. Every mail brought cards and
letters, and such splendid ones at that.
And the best of it was, that with the
exception of two or three days, was
well enough TO enjoy every bit Of it.
Nobody knows what it all means un-
til they have been through it.

SPELL OF CASE WEATHER

The Christmas season brought one
of the most welcome spells of weather
to this section that could possibly be
imagined--case weather. The spell
of case was very general, covering all
of this part Of the state but the tenn
perature was too low for perfect case,
Nearly all of the ridge crops were in
good case, but the valley crops did not
fare so well. However, this spell and
the spell about a month ago, have en-
abled the growers to remove about
half the crop from the poles, with
most of the ridge crops all down. Sew
eral crops have already been delivered
in this city, and from now on deliver
les of the weed will be general.
