HALF CENTURY COMPARISON
A Veteran Soldier and Merchant
Gives Some Facts

II is of prime interest in these days
of high cost of living, or "cost of
living high to take survey of the
past A recent issue of the Desc
to Argus contained q communication
from James H. Rogers Of that place
who went through the war and has
merchandised at DeSoto most of the
time since. He draws comparisons of
such interest that the CENSOR here,
with subjoins the article:
We hear so much about the 'hip h cost
of living" at the present time that |
thought it might be interesting for PEG.
pie to know what the high cost of liy-
ing really was at the close of the Civil
war in the years of 1865 TO 1868.
For instance, the price of some of
our farm products Wheat, 81 so to
81 IS per bushei: live hogs. l3c per
pound, and other produce in proportion.
And merchandise from the stores as
follows: Dry goods, calico as cents per
ward, brown sheeting 80 cents, denims
IS cents, Kentucky jesns 95 cents, wool
pants goods 81 Is to 82.75 spool Of
thread Is cents. pins Is cents, paper Of
needles Is cents, A. c. A. bed ticking
90 cents, and other articles of dr, goods
and notions in proportion. And in gro.
ceries and provisions: Flour SIS per
sack of 40 pounds, dark brown sugar
five pounds for 81. white sugar three
pounds for 81. coffee Rio so cents per
pound, tea 81 % TO 81 IS per pound,
kerosene oil so cents per gallon, vine
gar so cents per gallon. dark navy chew
ing tobacco 81 per pound, e0nlmnn smok.
ing tobacco go cents The above will
give the reader an idea of the then con-
ditions of trade and living.
Ii required 81 as of our currency to
get a gold dollar There we're thous-
ands upon thousands of men discharged
from the army, all with more or less of
this money, and, of course, but very
small per cent could get work, and a
great share OF this money d,ifted to
the hands of business men, until the
fall of 1873, at which time, the bottom
seemed to drop out of every thing prices
on everything went down, wheat so to
65 per bushel, hogs 81 so per hundred,
and everything in proportion.
Then we realized what hard times
meant. Many business men went to
the wall. A good horse could be bought
for $35 to $40 and good cows for SO to
SIS. ! write this to show the people
of the present day what we old fellows
of the COS had to 90 througAi and that
they realize what the high cost of liv-
ing really means.

WORST SCORCH 20 YEARS
EXTREME COLD WAVE PASSES
OVER NORTHWEST
Wisconsin and Vernon County Corn
and Tobacco Fields Laid Waste
by Frost Blight

Not in twenty years has Wisconsin
and this particular section of country
been so seriously injured by elements
of disaster as by the bIighting freeze of
Sunday night, when 8 temperature Of
81 above zero was upon us. This I'M
fortunate situation is so general that is
not easy to comprehend the widespread
effect. The loss in crops to the upper
Mississippi valley must be measured BY
millions in dollars. Continuous rains
and chill during the entire growing sea-
son left corn, tobacco, potatoes garden
truck and other products in a condition
% immstavity not experienced IL years.
and thus the disastrous freeze caught
things at the most critical time No
section of Wisconsin sppesrs to have
escaped the freeze Northern Iowa.
Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota are
within the belt seriously effected. Yer
non county is doubtless az badly touch
ed as any portion of western Wisc0n-
sin, because of our extensive tobacco
and corn acreage, both Of which are in
the delicate stage Of maturing three
weeks to q month behind other years.
We are forcibly reminded of the fact
that farmers. tenants and iaborers are
feeling keehly the losses sustained.
The tobacco crop was short ingrowth
ard most favorable weather necessary
for even fair yield A few had com
meneed TO cut ami shed when the blight
fell. From obser sion and interviews
with Representatives from all points
in the county we incline to the belief
that there will be Fifty per cent loss
in tobscro. Some fields on highlands
are rot injured. others partial, while in
valleys and low places some crops are
completely withered and ruined. Then
there is an average of damage
Corn, small and very immature for
this season of year, is injured in about
the same localities as tobacco. just
what the future win develop in this
crop is not easy to predict Potato vines
are universally blighted, indicating q
short and imperfect tuber crop. Gar
den vegetables were badly frosted
Many farmers built fires in their to-
haeco and corn fields during Sunday
night, which helped to certain extent
20 avert damage.

Allen Made bans Exit IL 4 Rush

One of the quickest moves Of his life
was made by Allen Fish on a recent
day. While returning from his regu-
lar trip to Viola with his auto truck,
the engil e of the same performed bad
~ and he had trouble with the motor
heating. When near the farm Of
George Cunningham the heat had be-
come 50 intense that the fluid in the
gasolene tank exploded, the force of
the same being so powerful that Mr..
Fish was thrown from the truck. In
the twinkling of an eye the whole ma
chine was a mass of flames, and he Sc
cured only portion of the contents of
the car. The remains Of the machine
are but bunch Of warped junk. It is
fortunate for Mr.. Fish that he escaped
personal injury, and also fortunate that
the machine was insured for fair per
cent of its value.

EDUCATIONAL REGULATIONS
New Laws Governing School Mat
tiers in Wisconsin

The important changes in the school
laws of the state effected at the legis-
lative session are said 10 number eigh-
teen. Their general object is to in
crease he efficiency of district schools
and enlarge the educational opportuni
ties of the masses.
Conspicuous among the new provi-
sions is one relating to state aid for the
maintenance Of county training schools
for teachers. The old law limited the
aid on the basis of the number of teach
ers employed. The new law gives add
tional aid where the school is maintained
for more than nine months of the year.
Where two school districts are CONSOLE
dated by the vote of the people the state
will pay one, half of the cost of erecting
one room rural school in the union dis
trict, provided that not more than ST DOC
be paid in any one school district The
number of the high schools Of the state
that may offer winter courses for coun-
try boys and girls ard receive special
state aid is increased from ten to ff-
teen. Persons residing in school districts
not maintaining q hign school or state
graded school Of the Srst class may at.
tend any high school ot any state graded
cIADDA oAGEAiiE lUshA Z sAVit III tue tltIltI
and tenth grades and have the tuition
become charge upon the town or coun-
ty in which the parents reside. There
is clause which provides that such nu-
pills shall have completed The course of
study Offerd in the home districts and
have Q certificate to that effect signed
by TIE county superintendent of schools
The compulsory age for attendance at
industrial schools in cities is increased
from l6 to II years ANY minor in EN-.
ployment between the ages of Is and IL
years must attend such schools in the
daytime at least five hours a week for
six months. Any person between the
ages of fourteen and sixteen years liv-
ing in cities maintaining industrial
schools, who is not required to attend a
public school or who is not attending a
high school, must attend such industrial
school at least five hours q week for six
months, or four hours week for eight
months. The old county board of educa-
ton law has been repealed. In place of
the old board there is to be committee
on common schools consisting of three
persons to be appointed by the county
board of supervisors.
The enactment of the statutes embod-
wing these numerous new provisions
did not occasion as much strife as the
changes proposed in the -cvernment of
the state university, Tough the schools
provide education for the multitude,
while the University must of necessity
be an institution attended by compare
lively few.
