District Attorney Bennett has asso-
clated himself with new attorney in
this community in the person of Adolph
Heinz. The gentleman is of German
parentage, born in Bohemia and came
to this country when a small boy. Be-
cause of adverse circumstances he be-
came a ward of the state at the Sparta
state school. He then found a home
with DR.. Cremer of Cashton and was
enabled to graduate from the Cashton
high school, taking the four year course
IN three years. On a cash capital of
Sl5 he entered the university, taking
the tull four year course, graduating
from the college of letters and science,
and then took the full three year course
and graduated from the law school,
earning his own way throughout the
entire period. While at the university
Mr.. Heinz took special interest in mill
tary affairs and thereafter served for
three years as commissioned officer in
the Philippines. At the conclusion of
his service there he made q trip around
the world, visiting Japan, China, Straits
Settlements, India, Arabia, Egypt. Italy,
Sicily, Switzerland, France, Belgium,
Germany and England At the conclu-
sion OF his law course in 1918 Mr.. Heinz
was admitted to practice in all the
courts by the supreme court d the state
and shortly thereafter entered the law
office Of Mr.. HiGhse in Lacrosse. as a
clerk. He comes to Viroqua with the
highest recommendation from Mr.. Hig-
bee for ability ard integrity. Without
parental assistance or outside help Mr..
Heinz has worked his way from the
NJ
young man of this calibre and charac-
ter.
The CENSOR does not know, but sus-
poets that this change may fortell that
Mr.. Bennett will seek political prefer
ment that might cause him to be all
sent from Viroqua and in such event he
would naturally desire someone alike
capable and trustworthy in charge of
his office. The new firm will be Known
as Bennett & Heinz and the CENSOR

anniversary Of Hon. Roger Williams,
one Of Billsboro's oldest citizens and
Civil war veterans. on that day Mr..
Williams showed the Sentry man a ci-
ear case and cigar that he had had over
1orty years. The case and cigar have
quite history. The case was made by
an inmate of the Vernon county poor
farm from piece of newspaper and
pieces of straw, and was presented to
Mr.. Williams by Capt. John w. Green
man, county treasurer at that time.
On the same day Henry Casson, then
editor of the CENSOR, presented him
with rs cent cigar made by Daniel
Stumble. While talking about the above
articles, Mr.. Williams was undecided
whether to smoke the cigar or keep it
until some future birthday. He has
since informed us that the desire to
keep it was too strong and he still has
il in the case II is the wish of the
Sentry and Mr.. Williams many friends
that he may retain his present good
health for many years and be able to
smoke the above cigar some future
birthday not yet near by. = Hillsboro

EDITOR CENSOR: Our second week
at Raymondville is passing away very
pleasantly. With the common express

lovely morning, and perfect day,

came into this section bearing AZ car
loads of northern land seekers, and of
course few pleasure hunters. Very
few are invited this year on the excur-
sions except bonafide land seekers, and
the writer spent one day with bunch
of II Minnesota farmers that were in
terested to man in climate, soil and
the surrounding conditions from morn
ing until sRening, and seemed very
sorry to take the train again for the
north. Several stayed over, and have
been out each day since, taking them
to property they had bought,
Truly this Is 2 delightful place to
those seeking climate and good soil,
and if provided with car, as we are,
they can in one day take In most of the
Delta of the RioGrande valley, and on
roads that are a pleasure to auto over.
Most of the time / can take one or
more of the family along on these trips,
and we are certainly fortunate at hav-
ing our car with US. Oranges, lemons,
grape fruit. figs, dates and grapes cer--
tainly are success here. l would Just
add that we autoed to San Benite last
Saturday and saw hustling up to- date

mills with capacity of 200 tons of cane
in "a hours. On Wednesday to the Gulf
Coast, where we went bathing and en-
ioyed it. Saw thousands of well bred
cattle on our way while passing thros:EsssS

for pleasure or profit, or especially
