FeIIowship Of the Grad

Numbers of democratic newspapers
of this section are commencing the APP
plicatlon of neighbor Graves for post
master of viroqua. The Bangor Inde-
penient has this to say on the general
subject of distribution of official pat
ronage, and postoffices in particular:
Without disparagement of the other
candidates The Independent hopes Mr..
Graves will secure the appointment.
We believe the postofiice appointments
should 90 to democratic editors of the
country who want them. And they
should go to them merely for the ask
ing Tor the reason that they are the.
most deserving and have earned the
preferment twice over at the hands of
their party. And by the same token,
four years from now when republican
president shall have succeeded Presi-
dent Wilson all these democratic post
masters should make way for their re.
publican editorial brethren. 1t isn't
every republican editor who wants the
postoffice in his town. but those who do
should be given the appointment with
out a contest, fight or petition of any
kind whatever. They are the men who
make It possible for presidents and con-
gressman to have postoffice plums to
give out, and these seasoned workers
should not be pushed aside for those
who render little or no party service.

Excellent Business Opening.

Any one wanting a good dwelling
house in the heart of the city of Viro.
qua should call on Chas. s. Slack. He
will sell his home with two big lots, or
the corner house with small barn, also
his business and business place. Either
will be sold separately or all together.
Parties thinking Of going into business
should investigate this offer, as it is a
good one. Mr.. Slack has desire to
quit his present business, as he has
for over twenty-five years been in one
place and would like a change. Some
young farmer boys could make good
here. Why not investigate now before
too late.

WISCONSIN YIELDS GO HIGH
Bright Prospects and Big Prices for
Our Tobacco Crops

1t is most unfortunate that the late
storm damaged so many crops in this
county Good curing and high prices
were certain. Growers whose yields
escaped the storm and those who saved
in marketable condition will be well re-
warded for their labors. The Edger-
ton Tobacco Reporter, last issue, says:
1t is doubtful if the trade fully real
ICES the acute situation of the binder
market. Within the past few weeks
more than half the Wisconsin leaf held
by local packers has been sold and a
good share Of the balance pledged waiting only
the appearance of samples to close deals. A far
seeing concern might drop into the state any day
and easily all the available supply of bind
ers likely 10 come into the market for the indie
pendent trade. The New England binder supply
was absorbed months ago and practically taken
out Of the market. leaving Wisconsin about the
only Leaf to draw from until another crop is ready
for use. and this is fast disappearing The larger
manufacturing concerns are pretty well fortified
for immediate needs. though none of them has
any surplus. but the smalls- independent factories
arein way to be badly pnehed for available bind
er stock and chance to pay higher prices than
ever known before the situation is relieved.
Were il not for fear of being muleted by the
Paul law with its poison fangs which has kept

would be very little II any Of the new crop of Wis

Rather than take chances. which a number Of To-
cal packers have less fear Of they prefer to wait
until the tobacco is cured and a better examina-
ton of its merits can be obtained before entering
the buying field. BY so doing. however they per-
nit local packers to get the first pick Of the choice

in the Vernon county district about half the crop

The 1912 packings have been selling literally
since the sampling has been completed and gem
orally at better prices than Wisconsin leaf has
heretofore brought. Trades invov, ing six TO sew

few weeks. and half or more Of the binder stock
held by local packers is already sold.
