one of the most tragic deaths that
ever occurred in this vicinity occurred
last Saturday evening near Cashton ia
George Olson, whose me was on the
old Jacob Surenson farm south of here.
Saturday morning he left home and
went to Cashton where, it is reported,
he frsqaented the 'srefreshment re-
sorts salOons-until he became in
toxieated. 1t is said that the authori-
ties there ordered him TO leave town
and finding himself too late to catch
the train, he started for home on foot,
walking the track Il Is reported that
someone saw him on the track and
warned him of the fact that it was time
for the north bound train. He WAS
found Sunday lying desd near the rail-
road track within the village limits of
Cashton, the supposition prevails that
he was killed by the rain

The pitiful affair was a severe shock
to the poor widowed mother who was
unable to attend the son funeral, and

FEDERAL BUILDING MOVE
CONGRESSMAN EsCH INTRO
DUCES BILL FOR vIRooUA
Amount Asked For 500, OOO-He Ex-
presses Doubt Over Outcome
The Bill as Introduced

The CENSOR is in receipt of a COM
munication from our Congressman John
j. Esch on the subject of federal or
postofiice building for Viroqua. Very
many cities throughout the country of
less importance, commercially, in pop
uiation and community surroundings,
have government buildings. With the
general growth of postal matters since
establishment of rural routes, parcel
post and other extensions Vir0uua has
as much demand and meritorious claim
for this expenditure of public funds as
a majority of places. Congressman
Esch is entitled to thanks of our people
for his efforts.
In note to the editor of the CENSOR
MIR. Esch says: while recently at VII
roqua, several spoke to me about intro
ducing bill for the erection of fed
eral building. | introduced such a bill
and forward you copy. 1t is but fair
to say however, that it is not at allie
tain that the committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds will be permitted to
present public buildings bill at this
session. The necessity for economy
and the urgent request of the President
to the democratic leaders in both Sem
ate and House to cut all appropriations

be done in presenting the bill at this
time as 1t can be taken up for consider

THE MEASURE AS INTRODUCED
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem-
bled, That the Secretary of the treas
ury be, and he is hereby, authorized
and directed to acquire, by purchase,
condemnation, or otherwise, site and

approaches, for the use and accommo-
dation of the postoffiees of the govern
ment at Viroqua, Vernon county, State

FARM. STOCK AND DAIRY JoTS

A little ad in the ''for sale" column
brought Hugh Buchanan SAC custom
er for Jersey bull calf, L. M. Lang
hus of Asbury the purchaser. 1t pays
to raise pedigreed stock and it pays to
advertise il.
J. A. Doerr of jefferson is absent in
Minnesota in attendance upon q public
sale of Chester White swine. He ex-
poets to make purchases if all condi-
tions are right.
Mike Storer disposed of eight full
blood Jersey Red sows They were
taken by Andrew johnson of Chaseburg,
who is also Red fancier and breeder.
The success of the Wisconsin dairy
man and the extent of the dairy pro-
duction is illustrated by comparison of
the value of these products for 1911,
the latest official estimate, with the
value of American machinery exported
70 foreign countries in 1912: Wiscon-
sins dairy products aggregated $685.
500, 600. Exports of agricultural i'm
pIements and other vehicles, including
automobiles, engines, etc, Sl25, 900, 900.
The foregoing includes machinery ex-
ports of all countries The share which
machinery formed of total exports of
finished manufactures other than food
products was rs per cent in 1912.
Here's a statement that will interest
farmers and others. To the Viroqua
creamery during the past year Hugh
Buchanan delivered cream that gave
him a money return of 81 COS IL. This
includes his share of overrun. From
ten registered jersey cows, nine grades,
three two year old heifers, 10 in all,
making about Sl05. so average. Mr..
Buchanan says one of the animals was
used by the family was not reckoned in
these figures. Besides he raised IL
calves from these cows. The CENSOR
will be pleased to publish a statement
of results better than the above.
