May Come This WAY

The daily papers of yesterday state
that the United States calavry is max
ing hike from Fl. Smelling to Sparta
military reservation, having left the
Fort on Tuesday. They will cross the
Mississippi at Prairie du Chen, and if
the natural route is followed Viroqua
will be in the line for a visit from the
soldiers. The distance is something
like $50 miles, and naturally the troops
would arrive here about the Fourth of
July.

Example Of Honesty and Advertising

The CENSOR brings quick and certain
returns to its advertising patrons. The
following is one instance in hundreds
which occur: "On Decoration day a
young son of Mrs. Gulbrandson lost on
the streets purse containing ten dol
lars in silver. Last Saturday the money
and purse were returned by a son of
Jerry Rusk of Liberty, having been
picked up by Mrs. Rusk on the day it
was lost. A small notice in the CEN
soR brought owner and finder face to
face" About ninety-nine times in a
hundred lost or found articles are re-
stored to their rightful owners. This
ration is possibly not so faithfully ex-
emplifed in money losses because find
ers are not all as conscientious as in this
instance.
Anyway itpays to advertise. especial
ly If firm or individual has the privilege
Of using a medium that reaches the
people as does the CENSOR.

BRIEF FARM AND DAIRY Jors


In the past ten years the population
Of the United States has increased APP
pro Ultimately Is per cent, while the num-
Der Of head of live stock shows an in
crease of only of per cent. This
would seem to Indicate that in only a
few years stock-raising Of all kinds is
bound to become even more profitable
to the farmers Prices are now lower
than they were q year ago, but with a
steady growth in population the de-
mand for both meat and dairy products
is bound to put prices back on higher
level than ever before.
The La Fargo Enterprise tells that
the first shipment of spring chickens to
be made from that place was by the
Beatrice Creamery Company. The
fancy price Of Is cents per pound was
paid for them by Halle Roberts the
local agent.
The few farmers Of this county who
have made a starr in alfalfa growing,
have cut their first crop. The Viola In
telligencer states that Sam Ames of
Liberty has been spinning some big
yarns about the alfalfa he is growing.
He exhibited one root with over sixty
stalks Of hay on il, and on the last day
Of May he showed stalks three feet
long. There is nothing like it as hay
producer.
Miss Tessie Wood Of Liberty showed
a duck egg to Viola editors that has
the record 50 far this season. 1t meas
ured 81 inches the long way round and
8 the short way. Next.

Four Weeks Religious Meetings
Close Sunday

Camp meeting and Bible Mission re.
ligious services came TO d close Sunday
right with large attendance. Sunday
was not as productive of an overflow
gathering like the tabernacle services
of old, on the concluding day Unfavor-
able weather doubtless curtailed the
crowd materially. DIR. Fitield gave
three strong sermons, and with the
song services, Sunday schools and other
exercises, a crowded program was the
order. Throughout the week evening
meetings were well attended and much
interest manifested. DR.. Flfield and
his co-laborers, the local clergy, Revs
Hartwell, Daschler and Palmetto, and
visiting ministers, gave earnest atten-
ton and work and are entitled to pub
lie commentator for their laudable
efforts.

Thursday evening, brought fully an

ROUND AND ABOUT US

Speculation is that the contemplated
building of the Ontario-Wilton railroad
is to have its northern terminus shifted
to Norwalk, point further west.
There are two reasons offered for the
possible change of base. First. that
more money can be secured in private
contributions; and second, that If it
were desired to extend the -Jau north
at any future time II could &c accom-
plished without tunnelling. An agent
representing outside capitalists Is still
at Ontario assisting the local men push
the financial end Of the project, and it
is reported that practical assurance is
perching on the banner of our neigh
bors of the east that the inscription
Of success will not be written on the
winds this time.
Some imaginative mind at SPRING
vile has conceived the belief, and given
il 10 the world that in that ancient
hamlet a warming box of historic re-
nown exists and is still in use. The
story goes that an old-fashioned box
stove, a ton in weight, brought from
Prairie du Chen, which was in use in
pioneer days when that city was one
Of the famous military rendezvous and
outposts of the United States; that
the old stove served to warm Abraham
Lincoln, JEFF Davis, Zachariah Taylor
and lesser lights of the old days of
Fort Crawford. Guess, probably, this
is a second Rouenstone, or the creation
of some ready mind.

Fishermen along the Mississippi, and
especially at Genoa. are getting wise
to their opportunities. A writer in the
De Soto Argus tells that they have
conceived the idea Of constructing pri-
vate ponds or reservoirs in which they
catch and deposi. fish so that they may
be had and disposed of at the most
seasonable time. The reason is thus
explained: Whenever fishing is good,
the market is very naturally low, and
whenever fish are hard to catch, like
wise, very naturally the fish market is
high.

sPECKs OF DIAMOND DUST

The ball game last Sunday between
the Summit Stove Company team of
La Crosse and the local team was rather
a one-sided affair, the home boys bag
ging the game by score of 8 to 4.
The early part of the game was played
in drizZiing rain, making the footing
so insecure and the ball so wet and
slippery that good playing was impos-
sible. However, until the fifth inning
the score was a tie, TO |, the visitors
having scored in the first inning and the
local team in the second. In the fifth
succession of hits and errors Melted
the home team five runs and the game.
The boys are putting up a strong,
snappy game and merit the support they
are receiving. Next week they meet
the strong Majestics of La Crosse on
the fair grounds The new diamond
will be initiated and spectators can see
every play from the grandstand.
