Cook, Minneapolis league man threw
for Neillsville. During the game, Link,
Cashton' ; regular pitcher, was badly in
iured by n base runner and had to retire.
Gate receipts We're S27.
A great crowd from Viroqua, Sparta,
Norwalk Ontario and various other
points witnessed the Sunday game and
got their moneys worth. DR. Will
Blake and Ben Borgerson were tele-
graphed for, Blake only responding.
Cook again went into the box and was
batted hard Blake was also batted all
over, but few safe hits were made off
him. A muifed fly fumbled grounder
and throw to third that wasn't noticed
by the hasenan, lost the game in the
opening inning for Cashton, while Neiils-
vile played perfect ball. The score is
as follows
Cashton. o 0 3 o 0 0 0 o.
Neillsville4 0 0 0 2 0 0--S
The gate receipts were $71 and some
cents. During the game the three Leon
boys, Linke and the Richardson's were
presented with fine gold watches by the
citizens of Cashton, for their good wori-
with the team. Arba Morrison umpired
the game and gave good satisfaction.
A good lot of money changed hands on
the first game but the Cashton money
was not to be seen on Sunday, although
to was offered. The return games
will be played at Neillsville in the near

Keep a Record.

1t would prove not only interesting
but highly beneficial if farmers would
get into the habit of noting down in a
book kept for the purpose the time of
commencing to plow, of planting, cul-
tivating and harvesting the various
crops. 1t will take very little time
while it will help as guide in determ-
ining future operations. To a more or
less extent farming must be done by
the season. A plan that will be best
one year will not always be advisable
the next and it is easy to be mistaken a
year or two later as regards the time of
planting, caltiyating or harvesting. But
wi9h properly kept record we may
know to certainty the date that thsee
various operations were performed. Ey-

Yard Schools or Nothing New.

Such was the decision of the special
school meeting held Monday night,
which was attended by about 100 resi-
dents of the district The board sub,
r,itted a resolution for bonding the
district for $50 600 to erect modern
high school building to be lighted and
heated in the latest and best manner
An amendment was submitted to bond
for $5. 500 to build one war3 building
with two dera, sments, I'll PROPOSE
tons were discussed from many points
OF view. and on vote the wd was
found to he divided 100 to 47against the
proposition. Then con lsus of
opinion was obtained in fave { ward
schools, 70 TO As. The det4 - of the
proposition were left sor settle
ment for an adjourned NEE ing to be
held next Saturday evening.
That the proposition for the establish
ment of ward schools should prevail in
small city like Vipcqua, where the
schools are centrally located, seems to
us entirely out Of place When three
suitable ward sites are purchased and
buildings are equipped, nearly sufficient
funds win have been expended to build
modern high school building, and IL is
then but question of very few years
when the latter viii be required Patch
ing the city up with lily built, lighted,
heated and poorly equipped ward coops
will be but continuation of the ex
penditure of money without consideTa-
ton of future needs that has too hong
prevailed in this town.
The CENSOR believes in doing this
matter of enlarged school facilities well
while we are 40 Z. or leaving matters az
they are. The ward scheme it appears
10 us, is but makeshift, for which
every progressive citizen will blush in
the future.

will receive check amounting to very
nearly $3.50, 600, which the Reporter is
confident is~the largest sum ever paid a
local packer in single transaction for
tobacco. This will make the Sutter
firm the owners of about i3, SEQ cases of

are of Northern Wisconsin leaf that is

JUMPED THE TRACK.

Fair Haven and Westville Car Crashes Through Doors of an Old Car Barn. A car on the Fair Haven and West
 vile road coming towards the city last night about o'clock swung onto sid- ling near the corner of Cannon street and Whitney avenue, near Mt. Carmel, and before the motorman could stop it it had dashed through the closed doors of an old car barn at that place. The barn is unused, and 1t is supposed that the switch was turned by a wagon wheel just enough to allow the car to jump the regular track. The side track leading to the barn is short, not much more than the length of car, so it was impossible for the motorman to check the speed of his car to any great extent The car dashed through the doors and smashed them, but the mo- torman was uninjured. The car was slightly scratched. but otherwise there was no damage done.
 There were five passengers on the car at the time, and the car was in charge of Conductor Hall.

consumed is not nearly so large as that of the mother country, yet it is relatively large as compared with the present population Of those colonies. In Australasia the consumption of tea at the present time averages over seven and one-half pounds per head of the population In Canada the per capita consumption is at present under five pounds. The value of tea at the time of landing has fallen from 111sd per pound, in 1886, to sgd. per pound in 1920.
 Of the total amount of tea at pres ent imported into this country 14 per cent. comes from foreign countries, and S6 per cent. from British poses sions.
 AMERICA CONTROLS COFFEE
 TRADE.
 The production of coffee, like that of tea, is largely increasing. The United States holds very similar place in the coffee trade to that held by Eng land in the tea trade. the relative con- sumption in each exceeding that of all the other countries of the civilized world put together. The coffee trade of the United States, therefore, may be said virtually to control the trade, as well as to a certain extent the prices of coffee throughout the world. The great bulk of coffee imported comes from the largest coffee-producing country, name ly Brazil, the second largest quantity coming from Venezuela.
 The quantity of coffee consumed in hn tat hp pic fyn,, 100000 pounds in 1SS4-5 to over 800,000,- 900 pounds in 1S9S-9, the consumption per head having risen at the same time from over nine pounds to over Il pounds. Whether this large increase is due to the fall in the price of the Bra gillian product and it consequent in- creased cheapness or whether it is due to that decrease in the consumption of alcoholic beverages which has taken place in the United States of late years is moot point. Probably it is due in some measure to both these causes.
 In the United Kingdom the consump- tion is approximately o.7O of a pound per head. Indeed, in the United King dom the consumption of coffee is rather decreasing than increasing, having been rather over than under 0.90 of a pound per head of the population in the years 1884 and 1885. The European in which coffee is most taken is Germany, where at the present time over 300, 00000 pounds go into con annually, which is equivalent to over six pounds per head of the population. France consumes four and pounds per head, Canada one pound, and Australasia one-half pound. From The London Pal Mall Gazette. 1

post. The tinbers were cracking under his feet and the water was beginning to creep over the planking, when the officer of the day appeared at the end of the bridge. He saw the sentinel and his peril.
 Come off that bridge, No. B. he yelled above the storm. Haarscher walked calmly off the bridge and came to an arms port"
 "Haarscher, you d-d fool, didn't you know the bridge was going? Even as he spoke the frail structure was whirled away.
 "That was my post, lieutenant" said Private Haarscher, "and you forget that I am a Frenchman,"
 Private Haarscher was dandy. The neatness of his equipment has been told. Once a man who had the repu- tation of never having lost the position of orderly at guard mount came from another regiment and re-enlisted i'm Haarscher's command. The two pri yates, as luck would have it, were de- tailed for guard the same day. The whole garrison turned out to see which one the adjutant would pick for the coveted place. The officer spent about twenty minutes examining the rifles, waist belts, cartridge boxes and brass es of the two men. There was abso- Iutely nothing to choose between them in point of neatness of appearance. Finally, as as last resort, the adjutant unbuttoned the blouse of theneW claimant for orderly honors. He found somewhat faded but clean undershirt. The adjutant passed to Haarscher and opened three buttons of his coat. Haarscher had on brand new suit of silk underwear that must have cost him a months pay. It was the other man on that day who walked post in the hot sun, while Haarscher did "lolling" duty in the shade in front of the commandant's quarter.
 The morals of the FrancoAmerican soldier were like his rifle at guard mount--spotless. There were no low camp or garrison intrigues for him. He was pleasure lover, however, and he joined in all the entertainments that went to tighten the evenings of the sol dier life. At no dance or 'hop under the auspices of Company A" was there any particular attending maiden sin gled out for the attentions of Private Haarscher. He went the rounds and danced with all. During the years he saw his comrades marry and leave the service. They told him his day would
