Arranged in Condensed Form

1 Vlroqua-It has been proud veal
for everyone connected with Virouua's
big cooperative creamery, for during
1928 that institution smashed all pre-
| VlouS records, and for the first time
passed the half million mark in re
celpts. In 1922 the creamery manu-
featured 1,147,370 pounds of butter
In 1928, 1,295,982 pounds were made
and the gain of 1852 pounds was

La Crosse-Henry Dean, an EN-.
ploye in a wholesale drug store at La
crosse, stepped backward into an ele-
Vator shaft and plunged from the third
Hoor to the concrete basement He
got up, shook himself, readjusted his
glasses, and started upstairs to re-
sumo his work. Horror-stricken fel.
low employees insisted that he be taken
to doctors office, but the doctor
could find nothing wrong with Dean.
Its funny l didn't break my glasses"
he said.
Madison = Roadhouses in which

action will be taken to close UP all
such places in Dane county or force
them to take out dance hall permits.
Grantsburg- During the last year
there were received by oil dealers in
Grantsburg, forty cars of gasoline, ap-

ticipated that other stations in Grant
county handled fully as much as did
this place, making total of $15O,OOO

ing, at a rate of $40 a day.
Oshkosh = Fishermen of Oshkosh
and adjoining territory are up in arms
over the change in the fishing laws
Of the state which prevents them from

A protest has been sent to the state
commission.

progress for the town of Wolf River
during December, for according to the
report of the registrar, Frank Neu-
schafer, not birth was registered,
