Good Farm TO be Sold at Auction

The novelty Of selling a farm at
auction will be tested on Friday, De-
cember Goth, when the old DIR. Walloe
homestead, three miles north of Viro-
qua, will be knocked down to the high
est bidder by Auctioneer Hoveland
Some time ago the place, then owned
by Ole diversion, was exchanged by him
to the present owners for Texas lands.
The rev owners want to dispose Of the
same and take this means of doing So
The sale will doubtless attract long
line of bidders, for it is one of the best
located places in this section The farm
consists of 100 acres. The sale and
terms are fully set forth in the adj
vertising columns of today's CENSOR,
Look over the same if you desire place
for practical farming or speculation.

Tobacco Stripping Order of the Day
With Vernon County Growers

The perfect case weather of last week
gave opportunity for tobacco growers
to remove their crops from the poles, a
very large per cent of the 1911 acreage
having been taken down, and now strip
ping is the principal occupation with
farmers and raisers Of the weed. Many
have already finished stripping and
placing tobacco IN piles, and another
week or two viii fird large portion Of
the holdings IT. bundle, then delivery
comes on 8pace. Two or three crops
have been delivered to local warehouse
men, bat none Of the buyers desire to
receive goods till after holidays There
is assurance that the packing houses
will open early IN the rev year, af-
fofding empio yment to everybody de-
string work. Buyers say that tobacco

acre will not be an uncommon yield.
OF conditions elsewhere in the state
the Edgerton Tobacco Reporter com
ments: "a season of casing weather,
the like Of which the southern portion
of the state has seldom experienced,
prevailed for several days and gave
growers ample opportunity to remove
from the curing sheds as much of the
crop as might be desired. The condi-
tiops of this ''winter damp" were al
most ideal in every respect Starting
with the gradual melting of three inch
covering Of snow. with frequent dashes
of rain, an impenetrable fog followed
for couple of days with temperature
all the time warm enough to bring the
hanging leaf steadily into just the
proper case desired.
There seems to be sort of still
hunt going on for takings over the I'M
sold portions of the 1911 crop Since
the tobacco came down from the sheds
and subject 10 inspection buyers are
riding again and something like early
figures are paid for choice selections, in

Take Good Precaution

The season is here when scores of
lives are annually lost and hundreds of
fires are started by carelessness in
Christmas and holiday decorations. In
addition to the fires and panics in
crowded stores, due to careless wiring
of special displays or the catching fire
of inaamma Die decorations, thousands
of dangerous risks are run in homes.
The holidays, of ali periods Of the year,
should be freed from the danger Of
terrible calamities, which is always
present unless reasonable precautions
are taken III tie matter Of holiday de

Viroqua is justly conspicuous among

better exemplifed. The solo work
