More Local Tobacco Deals.

Within the past two weeks two tohac-
co deals We're made in this section of
some moment. Eckhart x Company
purchased from Goldberg Brothers &,
Johnson, at Westby 500 cases of last
years crop, and also 800 cases from Fl
o. Hanson of the same place of the 1900
crop This, the CENSOR is told, cleans
up the Westhy last year packings except
the goods held by G., n. Neprud.
Plant beds are doing we'll and farmers
have so early. many of them. commenced
tn prepare their land for the plants
There is an earnestness displayedsamong
growers that is commendable The fact
that they were badly docke6 by buyers
the past season is having no effect on
their determination to grow a large
acreage again the present season The
experience with the late crop will be a
teacher to both grower and buyer
The Edgerton Reporter facetiously re-
marks: The imaginary center of the
tobacco business is changing localities
pretty rapidly these days. Last week
the Janesville papers had it fixed in that
city but later dispatch from Madison
says it has been shifted to the capitol
city and hereafter, traffic in the filthy
weed i'll eminate from that hub. If
the tobacco center of the state is become
to be a sort of ignis fatuus, we are
prompted TO ask what are the enterpris-
ing citizens of Waunakee Readstown
and Mcfarland doing that they have
not caught it on the fly and held it for
at least one night stand. The tobacco
center is nice thing TO have boys, and
don't let an opportunity pas to nail 1t
After it has been pas sed around for a
while it will settle dcwn to remain Just
where it has been located Cor the past
onarter of a century,

CHANGED HIS NAME UNDER DAHL LAW.
Hon. John A. Johnson of Madison, First to Take
Advantage Of the New Law

John A. Johnson, we'll known Nor
weglan manufacturer and capita ist of
Madison, is the first person in the state
TO lake advantage of the Dahl law enab-
ling persons TO change their names. In
accordance with the provisions of the
law, Mr.. johnson fled with the register
OF deeds of Dane county formal declar-
alton OF his inter s.On of changing his
name from John Anderson johnson TO
John Anderson Johnson Gisholt. He
says IN his declaration that the name
johnson is too common Gisholt was
hts ancestral nam and the one he bore
In boyhood before he left Norway. When
coming to this country, he followed the
old Norwegian custom and assumed the
name of johnson. A Madison dispatch
says that Mr.. Johnson's four sons ex-
pect to adopt the new patronvmic. Ne
cesslty, the mother of invention was tbe
mother of the scandinavian custom Of
adopting such common names as John
son. Anderson, Disc L. Severson. Gunder-
son and similar nomenclature For
centuries families il Norway would oc-
cupy the same homestead, and as eener-
alton succeeded generation the members
of the family became so numerous that
one Gisholt couldn't be distinguished
from another and so it became the ems
tom for the son of John Gisholt to he
known as the son of John or Johnson
As time passed the persons known nv
the given name of their fathers retained
those names instead of their true patron
ymics. The custom followed the sturdy
Mortimer to this country and in MANY
parts of the state ii is still followed

by Assemblymar Dahl. and which he
came law, prov ides that on application
to the register of deeds of any county of
which person is resident he NAV
change his name by an easy process
paying small recording or certificate
fee, but no person can change more than
once The purpose of the law. as the
CENSOR understands it, is to give oppor.
tunity for change as in Mr.. Johnson's
case Already several people have sail
TO us that they will have restored TO
them their rightful names.

1t Is gratifying 10 note the interest
that is taken in the tobacco industry in
this section. Two years ago the first
experiments in tobacco raising were
made in this immediate vicinity and
only a few acres were given over TO to
baceo culture. Last year the average
was greatly increased. This year the
acreage will be more than double that Of
last year and we are informed by tobac-
co N that at least $50 acres will be
given over 70 the cultivation Of tobacco
in this immediate vicinity this season.
Il is a crop that brings in good money
for the investment Two or three acres
can be raised with ut materially inter
ering with other farm work.-Viola

From earth's pale house OF clay,
Up 70 the great good Spirit

How long-how far the journey
Times measure cannot tell.
But friends we're round about him,
And all. yes all, was we'll.
Strong In the strength OF manhood
With many noble trait,
A stead fast Christian pilgrim,
His course in life was straight.
True TO the friends who loved him;
True TO the home he left.
And her, the one most faithful
Now widowed and bereft.
True to our noble order
Until his sun went down,
And In the higher Temple
He'll wear Masters crown.

The compass and the square,
We're still his rule of action
And with him everywhere.
Farewell, o friend and brotheri
