WHITE GAPS CONSPICUOUS
Tobacco Beds are in Evidence Every
where in Country Districts

Tobs eco bed making is the order of
the day on every farm and place where
the weed will be grown this season.
Some beds have been made for week
and the long rows of canvas covering
tell the story. And now will come the
backaches in keeping the plant beds
free from foul weeds.
The rains of some days past have as
sisted farmers in a measure to take
hanging tobacco from poles that has
been appended high and dry during all
the winter months. So desperate have
many become ovec the situation that
steam engines have been used in filling
the sheds with steam in effort to bring
the weed into case and fit it for bund-
ling. We understand this has been quite
successfully done.
Local packing houses are still EN-
ploying workmen and an effort will De
made TO retain help till all the belated
tobacco is delivered and put in the case.
Peter Midthun, one of the growers in
La Fargo section, writes the CENSOR
that white cops are fashionable" over
there; plants are up and doing well and
prospects for bumper crop. He says:
Farmers, don't do any selling before
your tobacco is stripped and in bundle;
then you will have no trouble to sell at
right price"

Postponed term of circuit court con-

cases to be tried. There are but three
cases numbered on the criminal list,

Regardless of the April showers, the
meetings began on Sunday night with
great interest and good attendance. It
is delight to listen to Mr.. Van Voorhis
present the Gospel message and the
messenger-Jesus. The message is not
about representative men of our age
but it is the ''Man of Galilee,' who
challenges the summum bonum of the
whole human race. He does not spare
sin in any form but he does spare the
sinner and pleads with him to turn from
his. course lest he make Titanic wreck
of his soul.
Beginning with April 20, the meet
ings will commence at o'clock, and SC il
will be with the Sunday evening ser
vices until fall. At 3 O'Clock Sunday
afternoon Mr.. Van Voorhis will speak
to the boys and girls. Don't miss this
special meeting. Any one is welcome
to the afternoon meeting and especially
are the boys and girls. Come o 1t every
night and listen to the words of power
and life.

Homo Democratic Hnnors

At conference of delegates elected
to attend the national democratic con-
vention, former Mayor w. N. Coffland
of this city, was chosen as the party
candidate for district presidential elect
or. The CENSOR extends personal con-
gratulations to its neighbor. Ii would,
however. be indeed unfortunate for the
country If Mr.. Coffland and sufficient
of bis fellow electors should be chosen,
because that would mean a change of
policy for the nation, and industrial up
heaval sure TO follow that spells hard
times, unsettled conditions and general
depression. The country is not unmind-
full of the democratic soup houses, the
suspending banks, the era of low
prices for farm products and general
idleness among the industrial classes
when we last had experience with a
democratic national administration.

Chas. A. Leicht of New Lisbon. is the
candidate for the same place, made so

ONLY THREE BIG CIRcUsEs
viroqua Will Have One of These ON
Thursday, May

There are only three of the circuses
of the first class travelling on the road
today. That is, there are only three
circuses carrying three rings in which
the performance is given. These cir
cuses are Barnum & Bailey, Ringing
and the Yankee Robinson circus. All
of these shows have three rings, two
elevated stages and the usual h:2no-
drome track where the races are held,
The Robinson circus gives its wild west
performance in the hippodrome track.
The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, speaking
OF the Robinsons circus states that the
| performance is on par with either the
Barnum or Ringing circus and states
emphatically that the present Yankee
Robinson circus will excel the Barnum
show within few years.
HAS THREE RINGS FULL OF ACTS
The entire performance is given in
the three rings and the stages lis pre-
scented in such a manner that no matter
at what angle you are seated in the can
vas you can see every act sometimes
fifteen of them going on at one time
with perfect ease. The Wild West
performance takes place on the race
track, so that every part of this per-
formance passes you from two to three
times.
MUSICAL ELEPHANTS
| They are making tremendous hit.
They are of more than ordinary size, in
fact, the largest performing elephants
in the country, and they go through
their daily routine amazingly. In adj
dition to the herd which the circus car
ries, it has on exhibition the greatest
beast that ever walked the face of the
earth Kongo. mighty elephant from
ndia-imported to this country for a
tour of the circus this season.
$50 DAPPLE GREY HORSES
Without question the horses are the
finest ever carried with a travelling con-
eern. These horses are all young and
of the very highest class. They have
several blooded guillals,. all of which
are displayed in the norse tents free of
charge. If you CINE to town for moth
ing else than t.Ie parade, do not fail to
go to the horse tents and view these
fine animals.
BRING YOUR BUcKING HORSES
If there is bucking horse in your
neighborhood that no one can ride,
bring him in on Yankee Robinson cir
Gus day, and Texas Bill and his band of
rough riders some of the best in the
world-will see what can be done about
handling him.
Remember this great circus, mena-
gerie and wild west combination will
show in Viroqua on Thursday, May 2.
