Our Extension Proposition
A Plain Talk with Subscribers

The publisher of the CENSOR, covering thirty
years of association with his subscribers, has
never before had such conception of their sterl-
ing characteristics as on the occasion of penning
these lines A month ago the purpose was an
nounced to increase the subscription price of the
paper. made absolutely necessary by reason of the
fearful increase in cost of everything entering in
to the production of a newspaper. The graceful
and hearty acceptance, with scarcely protest on
part of patron tells us of the substantial char
acter and right appreciation of the situation We
doubt if any home weekly newspaper in Wiscon-
sin ever held so many and so good class of sub
scribers kind that believe in and practice the
Golden Rule of Justice; who believe in the live and
let live theory. This has been fully demonstrated
to u.s. More than thousand subscribers have re-
sponded to an invitation to pay arrearages and ex
tend their subscriptions into the future at the old
price of 81. co. Very many more have expressed
a desire to do So but for one reason or another
have not been able Of the latter class, the ina
bty to deliver their tobacco is the principal cause

CURTIS RESIDENCE BURNED.
Building Nearly Destroyed - Some
Goods Burned

Monday afternoon at about two
o'clock, the roof of Scott Curtis resi-
denCe IN the first ward was discovered
in flames The alarm soon brought
the company To the scene, and a score
of workers stripped the lower story
Of its contents while the FIRE laddies
battled with the flames above. A por-
tion of the household goods ON the
second floor was also saved, but much
was lost and also the contents of the
attic.
While from the outside the building
appears not to have suffered severely,
yet the fire burned down through the
side walls, and the lower story Is bad
ly damaged while the upper story and
roof is total loss. Mr. Curtis car
ried insurance of $1,000, which comes
far short of covering the loss, not to
mention the shock OF being burned
out of house and home in zero wealth

community is extended to Mr.and Mrs.
