A Valuable Bulletin

In preparation for the short course
in agriculture las set forth last week &
CENsoR) soon Co be established in Viro-
qua high school, authorized by a late
law, the faculty has issued for distribu-
tion an illustrated twelve page bulletin,
which must naturally create interest in
this important and far-reaching branch
of industrial and scientific education.
II is practical document, treating as
it does of alfalfa growing, stock judging,
and corn testing The two latter sub
jscts are embellished with plates de.
scriptive of the work. The corn test.
ing features, for guidance, have pic.
lures of first premium and rejected
corn exhibits at our late county fair
contest, with instructive information
on all of the points which enter into
the selection of seed corn.
Altogether the bulletin is valuable
one for school patrons and the public
and is step in the right direction to
set forth the value Of our schools. A
copy of the pamphlet will be gladly
sent to any person sending request
to Prof. I. G. Brown.
The new extended agricultural course
will open on November II.

circled about the city in apparent be-

Get Your Winter Supply of Stamp

Get Your Winter Supply of Stamps
Boys on the rural mail routes center
ing in Viroqua ask the CENSOR to make
an appeal in their behalf: IL is that
all patrons provide themselves with
stamps before winter closes in. 1t is
unfair to ask messengers to pick pen
MES from mail boxes in cold weather.
Besides. the postal regulations protect
them from such imposition and direct
that all matter placed IN boxes be
stamped ready for gathering by carrier.
In the past drivers have been very &C,
commodating in respect to this matter
of stamping mail for patrons. Now,
for the winter at least, they ask re-
Turn courtesy and justice OF having
pc aple provide themselves with stamps
and S!ace mail matter in the boxes
ready for gathering. They will decline
to take out pieces not stamped. If it is
necessary to place money in the mail
box, enclose II in an envelope or secur-
ly wrap it in piece of paper.
Just consider yourself driver for
one day in bleak weather. Imagine
how you would enjoy barring your hand
and thrusting it into hundred or more
mail boxes after loose coinsl Try it.
