Here is a boys funny essay on hens

"A writer in McCalls Magazine: Hens
is curious animals They don have no
nose, no teeth. nor no ears. They swal-
low their vittles whole and chew it up
in their crops inside Of 'em The out
side of hens is generally put into pliers
and feather busters The inside Of a
hen is sometimes filed with marbles
and shirt buttons and sich. A hen Is
very much smaller than a good many
other animals, but they'll dig up more
tomatoe plants than anything that ism t
a hen. Hens is very useful to lay eggs
for plum pudding. ike plum pudding

IH. BENNETT FOR COUNTY JUDGE
He Makes Formal Announcement Of Nom
Partisan Candidacy

In another part of today's CENSOR
District Attorney j Henry Bennett
makes formal announcement of his de-
termination to stand as a non partisan
candidate tor county judge at the ap-
preaching spring election. This is a
laudable ambition for one possessing
judicial temperament, industry and abil-
ity in that line. Besides il is no mean
honor nor light responsible y. In no
Official station of county government is
it more essential to have a studious,
painstaking, methodical, prompt and
efficient man than in the probate office
of a large and growing county like Yer
non. IL is said that a very large per
cent of the entire property of a people
is passed upon judicially every twenty
years by county judge. How i'm
portant, then. that the affairs of estates
the property and beQueathiBgs to
widows and orphans-shal be carefully
guarded and promptly, cautiously and
honestly administered
That Mr.. Bennett has in the past
demonstrated unusual fidelity and de-
votion to his public duties as district at
torney is everywhere acknowledged
The county never had more vigorous
and thorough prosecuting official; one
who devoted his time and ability to his
work. At the close of six years service
he voluntarily retired from the position.
believing that the honors and RESPONSE
bilities should be passed around, and
that there were others worthy of re
cognition. But at the first opportunity
his party and the people called upon
him to again assume the position, and
he has now served two years. The
county board members and all Others
having a right to demand his official
services found him always at his post
of duty ready and anxious to aid and
counsel with them. The county's in
terests have ever been guarded and
looked after during his administrations
Because of his high sense of official
possibility, his keen knowledge OF
the law, his prompt and careful methods
Mr. Bennett would make the people an
ideal Judge If chosen to that responsible
position. The people have right to
expect and demand the undivided at.
tention of their probate Judge to the
duties of his Office. and that is what
Mr. Bennett pledges TO them if he be
comes their servant.
In politics Mr. Bennett is a repubh-
can, but he says in his statement an
nouncing his candidacy that he seeks
the position as non partisan During
long struggle for better things in
:, isconsin Mr. Bennett has been an
ardent and forcefui advocate of the
reforms and progressive policies con
tended for and achieved

The buying movement is still being
crowded along under good deal of head
way. There is probably not much less
than half a hundred buyers riding the
growing districts of the state, and the
aggregate sales must foot upwards of
thousand or two acres. That the
crop, has been moving faster recently
than any time since the market opened
is generally conceded.
That improved conditions are gradu-

mand for old goods, even though the
prices have not materially advanced.

taken down during the casing weather

a MODERN LIGHTING SYSTEM
New Gas Producing Engine IS Marvel
of Modern Invention

Viroqua's electric lighting Iiant is
now pulling the load of the local light
ing system, and is doing satisfactory
work. The new gas producing engine
is creating considerable interest to the
many visitors at the plant and is an in
vention of quite recent times. The gas
producer looks not unlike a water stand
pipe, the coal being fed in at the top
and the fire burning at the bottom con-
sumes the fuel, and produces the gas
that propells the engine. This gas goes
through another stand pipe arrange
lnent called the scrubber. This scrub
ber is flled with water through which
the gas passes. This process clenses
the gas from sulphur and coal oil be-
fore it passes into the engine. The en-
gine, which looks little like the ordi-
nary gas engine, has three cylinders
and driving capacity of one hundred and
fifty horse power. 1t runs smoothly
and with little noise, and has little
trouble in pulling the nightly load in
cident to furni, hing the city with the
electric lights
But the best thing of all is the econ
omy with which this engine operates.
The expert machinist, MIR. / Henry
of Toledo, Ohio, who came here to in
stall the plant, tells the CENsoR man
that one horse power is derived from
every pound of coal consumed, where
;.s, under the old system it took about
seven pounds to produce the same
amount of power
This wonderful machine is manu-
factured by the Rathburn-Jones En-
cheering Co, of Toledo. Ohio, and the
gass producer is made by the Smith
Gas Producing Co, of Lexington Ohio
Mr. Henry, the expert. will remain
here until about February 20. to teach
the boys how to operate the new ma
cnine and keep it in good running order.
