Dear Sirs-Please find en-.

manently / want to put in my
order at the above address.
This is certainly q fine place
and there is a mighty fine uni
versity here. It is located
right up close to the mountains,
about 80 miles northwest Of
Denver. The altitude here is
about $500 and if you want to
60 up to $4,000 elev., Longs
Peake is only a couple days
climb. You can see it from
the campus here, covered with
snow. / am feeling fine out
here, due, | guess, to the dry
mountain air, good clear noun
tain water and the almost con-
tinuous succession Of bright,
cloudless days.
/ like the work out here verv.
much and am getting along all

is supporting a good strong en-
|gineering school here and is
coming to the front rapidly.
Hoping that this will find you
busy and prosperous l am,
Yours truly,

Newspapers and Communities
rom the American Lumberman

Newspapers and Communities
From the American Lumberman
No movement ever attained
success without publicity and
in the nature of things any
movement requiring for its
success the support of numer-
Gus persons must have the in
valuable aid Of a common
mouthpiece. The kind of pub
licity needed in this develop
ment is afforded by the local
paper at every stage of its
progress. The local editor
should be and usually is con.
versant with the community's
needs; he is wholly in sympa-
thy with and is an enthusiastic
supporter of every undertaking
that is calculated to make his
town bigger, better and more
enterprising.
The first evidence, therefore,
of a community's awakening is
to be found in it's local news
paper, and the first act of those
initiating a movement for To-
cal development is to enlist
the services of and work hand
in hand with that paper.
But this fact must not be mis-.
construed. The newspaper is
a business institution, the same
as is a dry goods or a grocery
store. It must give a financial
return for the money invested
in it and for the labor expend-
ed upon it. The greater part
of the exploitation performed
by a newspaper is more direct
" for the benefit of something
or somebody else than for the
publisher himself. But paper,
ink. type and everything neces.
|sary to produce Q newspaper

DELIVERIES ARE NOW ALL MADE
Tobacco Marketing Over. Sorting and
Packing Continues

If there are still crops of 1910 to-
bacco contracted for that have not been
delivered the CENSOR is not rightly in
formed. Day after day vehicles burd-
ened with the bundle weed have wheel
ed through the streets of Viroqua, but
now it is said there will be no more of
such hauling the present season.
About the first of the year work of
sorting and casing was commenced IN
the three principal warehouses of the
city. The Eckhardt eW finished its
work and the house was closed ten DAYS
since, but Bekkedal and Pretzfieli man
ayers declare that they have six weeks
work still before them, and that the
warm rays of sun are giving their help
ers an uneasiness that is prevalent at
this season of year.
There is frequently dropped in the
presence of the CENSOR a suggestion
that this one and that farmer has de-
termined to drop out of tobacco growing
for one reason and another. On this
point the CENSOR is prompted to ask
lis it wise for those to do so who have
all the equipment? On this point a
word from the Edgerton Tobacco Re-
porter is pertinent as to future prices
and conditions. We quote:
Preparations fer another crop are
again under discussion with the grow
ers and the general ct conditions
have much to do in determining the
size of the fields to be devoted to this
product. With the cigar leaf states
there has seldom been a time when the
country districts were so thoroughly
cleaned up of accumulated stocks and
the growers so free handed as at the
present time. Nowhere does there ap-
pear any surplus of leaf beyond the i'm
mediate market demands, and with the
binder states there is every indication
of ar actual shortage of leaf suitable
to the needs of domestic manufacturers
In the face of the situation there has
never been time in recent years
when the prospects were more favor
able for remunerative prices for a COM
ing crop than there appears today.
While the facts may not warrant the
raising of an extraordinarily large crop,
a full normal crop ought seemingly be
the aim of Wisconsin growers the com
ing year with every assurance that it
will meet with a ready sale at satisfac-
tory figures

LITTLE BENEFIT FROM LATE CLOSING

Once on time, not so very long ago
in little city,or rather country town,
there lived a few merchants who sup
piled the community for miles around
with nearly everything it needed, from
breakfast food to clothes, from nails to
a thresher. Each distinctive line was
sold by distinctive house, handling
only goods of that line. Stocks were
kept up-to- date and clean, patrons re-
ceived prompt and courteous treatment,
every one was happy, and very friend
ly feeling existed among the merchants.
Even the clerk, working for his paltry
S. 90 per week, was happy for he ex-
pected the boss to give him q raise some
day. Besides he knew that at $3.50 at
night his ten hours were up, the store
would close and he could get out and
play base ball, or do other stunts in the
good out door atmosphere
But alas, one morning when the boss
came down he says: John, | guess we
will have to stay open later at night.
| went past Jones' store last night about
700 o'clock and saw Bill Green come
out of there with package. Now of
course, I've got just as much right to
sell Green after $50 as Jones has, and
so | guess you had better quit playing
in the base ball nine from now on. "
Well, now, will Johnnie get a raise?
Oh. nothing like that Whatif he does
put in twelve or fourteen hours Il day.
What ii his health is not as good as it
ought to be: he should be thankful to
have job, let alone working for nice
man like the boss So Johnnie comes
back after supper, lights the gas, and
sits down to read the base ball news
while the boss is at supper. He Just
gets to where Brown is batted out of
the box, when Uncle Henry comes in
to sit around and tell of what he did
when he was boy. which naturally is
not nearly as interesting to Johnnie as
the paper. But he tries to be courteous
to Uncle Henry, so sits patiently and
listens to him until the boss shows up
at eight O'Clock. This relieves Johnnie,
/ but the boss has to listen to crops and
weather until he, too, gets tired. So he
suggests going home He puts the
! books in the big safe, counts the change
and is about TO escape to his wife and
children, when Uncle Henry returns,
buys five cents worth of fine cut chew
+ ing tobacco, and wants to know if he
can get cracker box for an old sci
ting hen. So, finally, after looking
around ia the cellar with the help of d
candle, he finds one for Uncle Henry.
J who goes home. He locks up and hur-
res home. only to find his wife and
children all in bed. which brings this
thought to the boss: Which means
the most to M, my wife and family OF
