EDITOR CENSOR: just a word of
greeting from southern California. 1t

since we came TO san Diego, and the
longer we stay IN this part of the
country the better We like it. The
climatic conditions certainly are all
that anyone could wish for
We have been hoping to see some
of our friends out 10 the Exposition
this year. which IS ON a larger scale
and more beautiful than last year.
The 1916 show has many new exhibits
including those Of fifteen foreign gov
ernments.
suppose there are some who may
think we are altogether too near the
Mexican border in these troublesome
times, but strange as IL may seem
there is less excitement over the sit

of the country. Nevertheless Uncle
sam has plenty of guardians stationed
along the border in case of any trou-
BILE.

TRIBUTE OF A DISTANT SON
Elmer Dunlap Writes Beautiful EuIogy
for Deceased Father

Warren w. Dunlap, our father, a
good-natured, joyous and just man,
now lies in Viroqua's beautiful Gene
terry, where patriarchs and babes sleep
side by side, clothed in the perfect
peace of death. On the sea of life he
had long ago passed mid-ocean and
had sailed beyond the buoy that marks
the farthest point, and then, being
weary, and using his burden for a
pillow, has fallen into that dreamless
sleep that kisses down the eyelids
still. While yet in love with life and
raptured with the world, he has passed
on TO silence.
In the December Of life another
heart has ceased to beat, and again
we are face to face with the mystery
of death. We question, but there is
no reply. Out on the wide sea there
drifts no spar. over the desert of
death the Sphinx gazes forever, but
never speaks. From the vOiceless
lips of the unreplying dead there
comes no word, but in the night Of
death hope sees a star and listening
love can hear the rustic Of wings.
Night has fallen But night here
is somewhere else the dawn, 50 why
should we fear that which viii come
to all that isl Night after night we

trusting TO Nature to bring us again
to life and duty: night after night we
bid our loved ones "adieu" and wish
them pleasant dreams on their jour
ney to that realm which, 30 tired men
is not a dreaded land We know not
whence we came nor whittier we 20,
but in years foregone, o Soul, was all
not wellS Why not, then. lie down to
our last sleep. still trusting Him who
has always guided us along the deep
shadows, believing somewhere on our
sense again glad sweet voice will
cry, Awake! Awake"'
Warren Dunlap was kind, generous
and good. He was always child, sin
cere and joyous, and as full of hope
as spring. He divided all time into
today and tomorrow. Tomorrow was
without a cloud, and of tomorrow he
borrowed sunshine for today. His
good natue is evidence that he be-
lieved in happiness, reason, Justice,
humanity, and that love is the only
guide. He added 10 the sum ofhuman
JOY, and if each one to whom he had
spoken a kind word were 70 bring a
blossom to his grave, he would sleep
tonight beneath a wilderness of flow-
ers. He now rests in that plot of
ground beside her with whom he
lived nearly Fifty years and near so

have answered the call But they
who stand with breaking hearts
around a grave need have no fear

remain so. The living Oft become es-
tranged: the dead are true He lived,

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR CROP
Tobacco Stand in Vernon County
CODA Large Acreage

The transplanting of tobacco was
completed in this section a week ago
and plants have taken on good growth
Notwithstanding scorching weather
conditions Farmers have cultivated
quite freely so soon. 1t is certain the
acreage is above that of last season.
OF conditions throughout the tobacco
growing regions of the state the Ed
gerton Reporter comments: After
the close of the rainy season of the
first week of the planting the soil was
so deeply saturated that there has
been little or no difficulty to secure
an almost perfect stand in the fields,
requiring but very little resetting
compared with other years. The
ground was in such fine condition, too,
that the young plants lost but little
time in getting rooted in the fields, So
that the crop is now we'll started with
an even growth. The outlook there
fore at the present writing is as fa-
vorable as often seen at this date in

well as cars. Let ALL traffic keep

The crop has heen planted under
such favorable conditions that it is
almost certain that a full intended
acreage in most localities is out which
will probably not vary much from that
of last year which was slightly under
that of 1914. What the crop needs
most now is thorough and frequent
cultivation to keep the fields steadily
coming on. II rains are not frequent
enough stirring of the soil will help
to conserve the loss of moisture be-
meath. If the plants get a good deep
roofing now they are in better shape
to stand drouth later on. Growers
need not lose the advantage of an
early start if proper attention is Civ
