is PRETTY MUCH CLEANED UP
Tobacco Crop Practically All Taken
Prospects Not Good

Buyers best posted tell the CENSOR
that there is at this time uncontraCt-
ed for In Vernon county not two per
cent of the tobacco acreage. Last
week cleaned the platter, practically,
and the outside buyers went their way
TO conquer other worlds, so to speak.
But from reports elsewhere in Wis
consin the contracting craze has been
much like that here. Before the race
was concluded in These parts the mar
ket was topped in very few instanc-
es by a price of twenty-six cents.
The outlook is not catering, we are
sorry to report. The crop is very I'M
even and appears stunted in too many
cases. In tne valleys overiiowed fields
do not appear to take root and push
forward. On one farm a fine vigor-
Gus crop grows, while on the next
place a radically different and poor
outlook is found. As a whole the crop
is two 70 three weeks late, and unless
the best Of conditions prevail in near
future days and weeks we shall not
have better than an average crop, II
We are favored to that extent. Some
feids are ready for topping, and thai
work has commenced In d small way.
There is d tendency to shortness Of
leaves and a stunted plant.

HE SUMMARY


The animated scenes on Niroqua
streets the three first days Of this
week caused the minds of the old vet
Grams and pioneers remaining here To
revert to the recrQjtiug days Of 1851.
when the boys were preparing for q
patriotic duty In THE great Civil war.
These latter were the days when the
young men conscrlpted tol service in
the greatest Of world waHs we're gatE-
cred from all quarters at the county
to pass examination before The conn
~ board of exemption These were.
many Of them. accompanied by par
ents, relatives and friends, coming in
an manner Of conveyance, largely by
automobile. ana about the court yard
park was a procession of machines
a more orderly, better looking. SER
lousy disposed gathering of young
men no man>ever looked upon. IL was
evident that they counted the serious
ness of the situation as to their own
and foreign countries. and their per
sOnal relation to the same There
was no word of complaint that the
Nation had commanded them TO its
service, no murmuring hostility. but
a comprehension Of their duty. There
ingness to be truthful In their eXami-
nations. Nothing could better eN-
emplify the high citizenship of YER
non county. For much of this spirit
and the personal appearance and 10y
atty Of these young men the parents
of the county are entitled.
Promptly on hand Monday morning
at nine O'Clock were better than a
hundred Of these sturdy citizens, aud
after preliminary suggestions by mem
bers of the exemption board, the ac-
tive work OF making physical exami-
nations was commenced, jury ana
court rooms adjacent to the main au-
ditorium we're used the big room
being occapie d by the army
of candidates. The exemption board
consists of Sheriff Cowden, County
Clerk Moore, Drs. w. NJ. Trowbridge
and G. V. Porter, +, NJ. Minshall, c
W. FowelF and L. {. Boyle. Ppysici-
ans assisting in the examination were
Drs H. Trowbridge, +. f Morley,
J. w Holland, c. Z. Lauder, with
DrS Wade Harrington and Almond
Fortney to examine as to the teeth of
men. Other citizens lent assistance
as clerks and otherwise. and il was a
harmonious and lively working organ
ization.
Work OF the second and third Gays
was a repetition Of the activity of
Monday. and the final results are here
given.
Lewis Budde ofWhitestnwn and Vic
tor Green of De Soto were the only
ones who did not appear or were not
accounted for.
The examinations closed today after
three o'clock. ana the CENSOR consid-
ers it a pretty big stunt to give an
hour later complete review of the
standing of every man. We believe
this beats the record of any other
newspaper in the United States.
ES'B By consulting the key at the head
of the double table on this page one
may find the designation of every
man and Just what his standing IS
found to be by the exemption board.
