FRED C. vOIGHT

Fred G. Voight, one of Elko
county's prominent young demo-
Gratis, tells his party voters today
that he is candidate for demo-
cratic nomination for county clerk
at the September primary. He
was born and raised in Lamoille
valley. He attended the public
school in his district and after
ward took business course with
Prof. Nesse in the Elko county
high school. Last winter he
attended the Oakland business
college. He has a thorough
practical education and is
thoroughly qualified to fill the

democrat he asks the support of
his party at the primary election.
He will make lively run for the
nomination and if he succeeds he
will do his utmost to win at the
November election.
The democrats of Elko county
should give Mr.. Voight's candidacy
earnest consideration. If he re-
ceives the nomination and is sue
cessful at the polls, he will repay
the debt by conscientious, faithful
service as county clerk.

HOW TO keep COOL

uOU ~ NlII UUUI
The warm wave that has ex-
tended over the entire country
makes timely some sound advice Of
how to keep cool. This is furnished
by the physicias, somewhat as
follows:
l. Don't eat too much; we re-
quire less food in warm weather;
and overeating causes fermenta-
ton, with resulting indigestion,
nervousness and sleeplessness.
2. Reduce the amount of meats,
oils and fats to a minimum; avoid
heavy and stimulating foods; re-
frain from intoxicants and from
tea, coffee and condiments.
3. Be especially careful not to
overfeed infants; never let them
have either unripe fruits or meats
in summer.
d. Light clothing, in weight
and color, with linen underwear,
is best for summer; draughts are
dangerous when one is perspiring
freely; electric fans cannot always
be safely approached for the pur-
pose of cooling off.
5. DR.. Cromion of the Univers-
ity of Pennsylvania is authority for
the statement that sun and air
baths are said by the Germans to
be of great value in their nature
cure system. The sun has a very
beneficial effect on the skin and it
is found that its rays are far
superior to the use of cosmetics.
Many persons in exposing their
body to the rays of the sun take
too much at one time and thus ex-
perience extreme annoyance. Air
and sun baths when taken intelli-
gently harden ones system and
consequently enable one to with
stand with more ease the hot days
of summer.
6. Daily, systematic exercise
should not be omitted because the
weather is warm. A little taken
in the early morning followed by a
cool bath will tend to make one
cooler for the rest of the day.
! Z. In brief, the physicians say
that careful dieting, sufficient
exercise, rest and sleep, daily bath
ing and intelligent exposure to the
air and sunlight, the avoidance of
stimulants and cheerful frame of
mind, will insure one a strong
resisting power so that he need
have no fear of the extremes of
either heat or cold.
These rules are, for the most
part, an amplifcation of the
doctrine known to the Latter-Day
Saints as the word of wlsdom;"
an adherence to its plain directions
will save the people a good deal of
trouble in the way of loss of
health.

PASSING OF AN ocToGENARlAN AND PIONEER CITIZEN

Soren Paulsen, one of the Oldest and
best known citizens of Vernon county,
passed away at his farm home three
miles east of Westby, on Tuesday, Sep
TENDER IL. in the eighty-fourth year of
his age. Until twelve days before his
death he had enjoyed excellent health.
Complications of the digestive tract
then setting in, he gradually became
weaker and weaker until without a
struggle his spirit took its flight.
Mr.. Padlsen was born in Honnesfoss,
Norway, June q, 1927. In 1854 he
came to America, settling in Chicago,
where he followed his trade of carpen-
ter. Here on May %, 1855, he was
married to Mary G. Thorbus. Shortly
after the marriage they moved to La
Crosse, living here only a short time.
They then moved to a farm east of
WesSby, on the north road to Bloom
ingdale, and in 1868, after spending
few months in Sparta, purchaseda flour
mill in Bloomingdale. This mill became
known for many miles around as farm
ers for long distances came here to
have their grain milled. Mr.. Paulsen
installed what was then modern ma
chinery and made of the plant a mark
ed success. In 1872 he sold the mill and
purchased the farm that was to be his
residence for the remainder of his life.
Mr. and Mrs. Paulsen are the parents
of ten children, all grown. as follows:
Mrs. Anna S. Collier, Enderlin, North
Dakota; Mrs. Carl j. Hovde, Westby:
Mrs. n. l.. Hanson, Seneca, South Oak.
Paul 7. Paulsen, (who has always made
his home on the farm with the parents:)
Mrs. Gus L. Hanson, Richland Center;
Mrs. c. W. Berquist, Duluth, MINI.
Mrs. N. j. Holden, Aitken, Mimi. OF
to Paulsen of Sparta; Mrs. Frank Will
liams, Viroqua, and Miss Bertha Paul
sen of Sparta. Fifty-five grandchil-
dren and three greatgrand children are
also numbered as the descendants of
this aged couple. The room in which
the last obsequies were held for Mr..
Paulson had become rather historic to
the family. In it every one of the mar
ried daughters had answered to the
vows of holy wedlock, and here five
years ago, on the Goth of May, a gold
en- wedding was held in honor of the
parents, at which time beautiful gold
headed cane was presented to the faith
er by the children And now from this
same room were held the final services
over the mortal remains resting peace
fully in very bower of flowers and
ferns, while the relatives and neighbors
gathered with bowed heads to in silent
reverence pay their last respects. The
service was conducted by Revs. Daniel
son and Buffers and the burial was
held at the Methodist cemetery near
Westby

IMPROVING THE FArHFR OF WATERS
Older Writes Of Extensive Works Where
He is EMPLOYED

From La Noble, eighteen miles north
of La Crosse. on the Minnesota shore.
Z. j. Older writes concerning govern
ment work on the Mississippi. where
he is foreman:
Here on the bluff is the government
stone quarry under the management of
S. l.. Jameson. Here the rock are
quarried for the dams in the river. On
the bluff are two steam boilers. One
furnishes steam for three drilling ma
chimes; the other for the hoist engine
that carries the rock to the barges.
After the holes are drilled, each hole is
eighteen inches deeper than its prede-
cessor. There are six drill for each
hole, making one hundred and eight
inches. These holes are shot with DIV
Mantle and set off by electricity. Then
the workmen break the rock into sizes
suitable for easy handling They are
next loaded into 'skiffs. which are two
feet deep and seven feet wide. holding
about four yards of rock. Then they
are drawn by horses on a narrow rail-
way track to a point under the tower
where two workmen, called 'hookers. >
fasten the chains. Engineer Schaefer
starts his engine and raises the skiff to
the cable that carries it to the barge in
the river. The cable stretches about a
thousand feet from one tower to the
other. 1t is quite a sight to a novice
to witness the clocklike work of men
and machinery. After the rock is load
ed on the barge it is taken to point
previously selected, where a fleet is
stationed, and there they are unloaded.
The dams are constructed of brush and
rock. Mr.. Shumway of Genoa has
crew cutting brush near here. IL is
bound into bundles and loaded on
5arges. Brush and rock are used until
the dam is of the required height and
length. If only one could see the work
done they would say the government is
doing a good job in making six-foot
channel. There are about forty men
here now.
From the bluff where we are located
we can see Trempealeau. two miles
away, Galesville seven miles distant;
WinOna can be seen at a distance of
nine miles and at night its lights are
very easily seen. Then we can see
Centerville in Wisconsin and the Trem-
pealeau farms. The Burlington rail-
way is on the opposite side of the river.
The Northwestern trains are in sight,
and Just under the bluff the st. Paul
railway is double tracking, having crews
of men at work. By their depot is a
sand pump, which pumps sand out of
the river for a new track. There are
very few boats on the river at present
on account of low water

II it was the purpose to elicit an ans
wer TO the foregoing from the CENSOR,
we have to advise Mr.. Rodgers that
possibly county officials or others hay-
ing official connection with the matter
can better make reply to his inquiry.
We are aware that the state board OF
control. who make frequent visitations
10 the jails, almshouses and other pub
bic institutions under their supervision,
condemned the Vernon county Jail two
or three years ago, as unsanitary and
dangerous 10 life by reason of it's being
what they term fire trap" When
we reflect that every portion of con-
struction and the furnishing of all ma
terials is let to the lowest bidder, we
do not believe that Mr. Rodgers implied
insinuaJiJn that some one has a rake
| off in commissions is well founded. II
Mr.. Rodgers has information or belief
of such he owes it to the public and
taxpayers to give the facts. - Ed. CEN

Remembraneea Of Destruetive CyeIone

The late John NJ. Bennett prize es-
say on the Viroqua tornado mentions
that q rug waR blss from house in
Viroqua into another at Hillsboro. Mrs.
Cole of Union Center related to w. e.
Butt that a letter was picked up in
front of the postofice at Elroy, that
had been blown from the school house
two miles west of Viroqua. The lady
says that after the storm she stepped
out on a plank in the BarabOo river and
bed sheet came down in front of her,
and before she could reach it the cur
rent took it down through Sank county.
In the historical library at Madison is a
piece of hickory tree, size Of large
arm, pierced by stick the size of a
cane and split in two for several inches,
the smaller stick being tightly held.
Mrs. Cole was in Viroqua just before
and just after the tornado, and was
witness to several newly-made graves.
She was here recently on business at
the office Of Butt & Butt and says she
sees a big improvement in our city.

SHOULD ESLIGHTES THE PUBLIC

EDITOR CENSOR: In regard the article
published in the CENSOR of two weeks
ago, entitled Facts regarding the new
Jail, would like TO see few questions
answered through the columns of the
CENSOR First, who asked the board of
control to visit our Jail? Does any
body get commission on the 800, 600?
Would it not be better TO spend 800, 600
to keep people out than to keep them
in that institution? We taxpayers have
made up our minds that we would like
to have something to say about a few
of these $50, 900 deals.

honorable, upright man. He was of
that sweet and kindly disposition that
one word in our language seems meant
for just such characters, he was a gen
tleman. There was nothing coarse in
his nature. II was a joy to have bust
ness relations with him, and a double
joy TO know him so intimately as to
have social relations with him. Mr..
Paulsen was also of religious nature
In 1855, while acting as best man at a
wedding ceremony, he was so Impress
ed with the prayer of the minister that
he was awakened to the need of living
a Cody life. Six years later he joined
the Norwegian Danish Methodist church
near WesIEy, and where the cemetery
now is, built church of that denomi-
nation. His religious life was always
very real to him. Thus passes one
more of Earth's choice souls.
