VIRoQUA, WIS.,, Aug. 1, 1917.

For nearly or quite two weeks the
tobacco growing districts of Vernon
county have been canvassed as never
before in efforts to make purchases, or
take options and gamble on the unde-
veloped fields. The chase has bordered
on hysteria, if not insanity. More than
hundred men have gone at break
neck speed over the public highways,
into harvest and hay fields, and nearly
every farmer has been persuaded to
enter into contract for the sale of his
crop.
If what is told che Censor is correct,
and we have little reason to doubt it.,
by the time this paper is put to press
95 per cent of the present standing
field crops will have been placed under
contract and at prices that are dream
-16 to 25 cents. Many contracts have
been written at from 16 to 18, buyers
taking the chance of all damage in
field and shed. The regular stock
agreements range from 18 to 22 cents.
We have had many local campaigns
for tobacco buying in Vernon county,
but nothing to compare with the pres
ent grabbing of the weed. Let US hope
that the season may be good one and
the growers realize and reap the bene-
fits that are produced by world stril-
gency and shortage. IL buyers are as
able and willing to do the fair thing at
receiving time as they are anxious to
secure options by purchase, the winter
of 1913 in Vernon county will be fruit
full in reports of big money production.

NEW YORK, Aug.


Sweltering as the atmosphere was
this week it did not dampen the enthu-
siasm nor the strenuosity with which
the second American Sumatra inscrip-
ton was set in motion yesterday. The
attendance was even larger than at the
first one, and figures on some lots went
even beyond the highest price paid at
the first inscription. The a, $50 bales
offered were taken again mostly by
manufacturers. The full and detailed
report of the result of the Sumatra
and subsequent Java inscription is
given in our news columns OF this
weeks issue. The next, and appar-
emily last, inscriptionon American soil
this season is scheduled for October
5th. The general outcome of them was
certainly successful beyond expecta-
ton and were alike benefting the inn
portation company and the manufac-.
turers who were so sorely IN need OF
the Sumatra wrapper. But the domes-
tic leaf is not suffering any setback
by the lavish investment in the Suma-
ira. Far more lavish in comparison
even are the demands that our domes-

EDGERToN, WIS.,. Aug. 10, 1917.
While the rush of the buying move
ment has materially subsided, there is
still enough activity in the growing
districts to hold prices close to the high
mark of a week ago and there is little
possibility of their declining since the
number of firms who stand ready to
add to their holdings is sufficient to alb
sorb the balance of the unsold rem
nants of the crop. 1t is estimated that
close to 95- per cent of the acreage of
the state is now under contract. The
sales appended will show the range of
prices now prevailing.

Local rains covering quite large por-
tions of the tobacco growing districts
have relieved the drouth conditions
somewhat but general and copious rains
are still needed to ensure a leafy crop.
The advancement, however, has not
come as rapidly as expected. The very
best weather conditions are needed to
see the crop past the danger of frost
as the main harvest is still several
weeks away.
The market for old leaf has no news

The shipments out of storage reach
400 cases and three cars of bundles to

ORFORDVlLLE, w IS., Aug. Z, 10lt.
Tobacco is growing splendidly, and
while there is big variation in the
size of plants, ranging from six inches
high to waist high, all fields look prom
ising, especially in view of the fact
that buyers are anxious to close con-
tracts at prices from II to 22 cents, and
in some instances the buyers being
willing to take chances. Several buy
ers have been riding the past week and
it would not be surprising if half of
the crops were contracted for before
the week ends. Growers may have an
opportunity to test the legal value of
field sale should the season prove un-
satisfactory, and few now believe that
there is such thing as a binding con-
tract with the buyer taking chances
should the crop prove failure or not
worth the price paid, or offered. One
thing is certain, that tobacco of any
value at all will bring all it is worth,
and there are those who are predicting
that choice stocks will go as high as 30
cents,

AUTOPSY BY DIR. B. H. STONE.
Evident the Bradshaw Child Met a
Violent Death1Some Theories OF
the Case.

Evidence tending to show that
eight-year-old Alice Bradshaw, daugh-
ter of John Bradshaw of Lyndon,
came to her death by violent means, is
said to have been secured as a result
of the autopsy performed upon the
body Friday afternoon, by state path
ologist, B. H. Stone of Burlington, and
his assistant, DR.. c. E. Whitney.
Coupled with other testimony which it
is expected will be produced along the
same line; the confessions of the ac-
cused women, and more evidence
cleaned in the weeks between the al
legged murder and the finding of the
decomposed body, the prosecution is
seemingly drawing the net closer and
closer about Miss Eta May Hicks, the
Bradshaw housekeeper, her friend,
Mrs. Alvin Remission, and John Ker-
win, Mrs. Kenniston's brother, the
three persons charged with one of
| the most heinous crimes ever COM
mitted in the state.

IN FIELD A Mile FROM HER HOME
Facts on the Case.

FdCtS Oh the case.
On Friday afternoon, July 6, after
little Alice had been missed. the
neighbors, thinking some crime might
have been committed, notified the au-
thorities. A search Of the premises
failed to reveal any trace of the child.
A gruelling by the officers resulted in
a confession being made by both Miss
Hicks, Mr.. Bradshaws housekeeper.
and Mrs. KenniSton, a close friend.
Mrs Remission claimed at the time
that Miss Hicks struck the child with
a club while she (Mrs. Kenniston)
choked their victim. They at first re-
fused to give any information as to
the disposal of the body, but later
made a statement as to it's location.
thorough search of the place and
surrounding country failed to pro-
duce results, and from time to time
the women gave what they purported
to be true statements as to the
Whereabouts of the body, but all
proved to be false.
