WISCONSIN NO STACKER

The American people again have
given a war loan of many millions
more than was asked. Secretary Nc
Adoo announced that total subscrip-
tions to the second Liberty loan were
$4,617 ,532, 300, "a per cent over-sub-
scription of the three billion dollars
sought. Half of the oyer-subscrip-
ton will be accepted, making an ac-
tual issue of $3,80S, 766,150. There
were 100000 subscribers, SO per
cent of whom applied for bonds of
$4,000 or less, and will receive their
subscriptions in full
Wisconsin, although classed as dis
loyal to the government, because of
the actions and utterances of her
United States senator, has more than
cast off that odium by covering her
self with glory in the second loan, the
subscriptions by her patriotic people
being $7s,231 $50, or $27,S31 $50 in
excess of the minimum allotment.
Many of the counties exceeded their
quota of bond sales, and as a whole
Wisconsin takes her place among the
states that performed nobly her part
II providing funds to carry on its war
4 yainst autocracy. The good citizens
OF the commonwealth left no doubt as
to their loyalty to the government and
their subscriptions may be accepted as
shining exemple of their practical
patriotism.
Vernon county fell short in the sale
of the minimum allotment of bond
sales, which was s655,20O, and the
subscriptions were only $27O, 450, but
we did as well as most of the counties
like situated in western Wisconsin.
Bad weather conditions, and much
worse road travel, materially interfer-
red with vigorous and fruitful cam
paign for bond sales. Practically no
campaign was made in the rural dis
tricts outside Of a few towns.

HAPPY THOUGHTS OF OLD HOME
A New Year Greeting to the Censor
and its Readers

Dear Censor: / am proud, glad
and happy in having this great oppor-
tunity Of writing to the Censor and
wishing the subscribers one and all a
happy and prosperous New Year. For
while | am a frequent contributor to
the Minneapolis papers / am just as
proud and glad to see any little word
that / could say, published in the Cen
sor. Because | am sure that it will
reach many an old friend and neigh
Dor from far and near for oftimes
when we cannot see them in person
a little word is like letter from home
and it all goes to cheer and brighten
the nonotony Of the times. And while
/ have the three Minneapolis papers
left at my door every evening | look
forward with pleasure on each Friday
to the coming Of the Censor, for well |
know that it viii bring some tidings
from those who seem To have passed
out of my life But the old haunts.
the old friends and neighbors some
how leave the sweet and tender mem
DRY that lives with Us up through the
troubled years, and so when | read the
many clever and talented letters, po-
ems and articles written from friends
and neighbors from far and near
feel too that | would like to have a
word to say in behalf of the Censor
and its many subscribers. For many
is the bright, talented and clever let
tiers that | have read written by one
who has Travelled much and is able not
only to interest one but throughout
useful knowledge to the public, the let
tiers from here and there, east and
west, all go to make the Censor a good
and useful family paper. And last
but not least, we find once and a while
a letter from one of Vernon county's
best and well known farmers, C. V.
Porter, who is with the farmer all the
time. And after reading these letters,
and many others my mind fiyes back
to the dear old town with its old stone
school house and its many hooks and
corners of interest to me. Now we
find new schools, new Carnegie libra
~, number of beautiful churches,
and best of all is that Viroqua keeps
voted out one great evil, the saloon.
So / am more than proud of being
one of her citizens though absent at
present, and | am glad to see by the
Censor that the tobacco season is so
near at hand-one of the greatest in
dustries of the state of Wisconsin. es-
pecially in your section and for a num-
Der of years the farmers and the to-
bacco growers have all made good, not
only for themselves but all the sur
rounding country and have made the
farmer, the banker, the laborer, all in
dependent, proud and happy. And so
you can see how it is that | want a
word to say in wishing the Censor,
with all its subscribers, a Happy New
Year. The awful war cloud is the one
unhappy thought. But we must con-
quor; we cannot be slackers. Wiscon-
sin is doing her part, | am sure, but
you have a very black eye because of
the present attitude of a man and of
fetal who once stood for country and
human rights and downtrodden hui
Very truly,
Mrs Marion Z. McClain.

AGE NO BAR

Everybody in Viroqua is Eligible
Old people stopped with suffering,
Middle age, courageously fighting,
Youth protesting impatiently;
Children unable TO explain;
All in misery from their kidneys.
Perhaps little backache first.
Urinary disorders, dropsy may
quickly follow.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Are endorsed by thousands.
Here's Viroqua testimony.
Mrs. John Clark, 400 E. Gillette ST.,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are moth
ing new to me because l have taken
them off and on for years when my
back has been lame. At these times
| have gotten a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills from Davis drug store and they
have always relieved me of this trou-
BILE. BY taking Doan's this way oc-
casionally | enjoy the best of health
and | am pleased to recommend them
to all my friends. Doan's Kidney Pills
deserve great credit"

THE DIFFERENCE

Announcement is made by Marvin
Hughitt that subscription by the
Chicago and North Western Railway
Co. for five million dollars of United
States of America second liberty loan
bonds has been authorized by its
board of directors. These soulless cor
porations which the /. w. VS., the So
cialists, and the political yellows are
wont to rail about, have an inspiring
habit of doing their patriotic bit in
glorious fashion.
And that raises the question:
How much has Senator LaFollette
subscribed?
Or Victor Berger?
Or Senator Gronna?
Or Stone?
Or the few Madison radicals who
still adhere to LaFollette Madison
Democrat.

Building is a bargain, right now!
Building materials seem high in price,
but they are so because it is costing much mare
to produce them Though we admit ''Old
Faithful HEMLOCK hasn't gone up muchD
Building prices in general WILL NOT BE
LOWER for years, if ever, because producing
costs are up to stay, and demand after the war
will be enormous. But farm products are
much higher in proportion than building
materials and they may ahgays be 50 high. Your
buShel of wheat or hundred of milk will buy more
building materials right than ever before and
perhaps more than ever again. Don't miss it -
BUILD NOW!

Here's to the kind of man and pa
triot former President Taft is. AL
though beaten for reelection by Pres
ident Wilson, he is with him heart
and soul in war matters. Listen to
what he said at a recent meeting in
New York to raise Y. NJ. C. A. funds:
The Russian and Italian situation is fraught
with serious danger. No one can prophesy
row how long the war viii last. The only
thing do is to make up our minds no
matter how long the war continues, that we
will be there at the end"
We are neither republicans nor democrats
now. We are Americans and we are firmly
behind the president
By his desire 70 avoid conflict and his great
patience, Mr.. Wilson proved conclusively that
he was forced into war because honor and duty
required it. There was nothing else for us
to do. The suggestion that should not
have gone into war ignores our honor. our
prestage, usefulness and the spirit shown
in the revolutionary and the civil wars.

Eighty billions of dollars were spent
by the federal government in the Civil
war Then the total wealth of the
country was only sixteen billions of
dollars. Today the national wealth is
about $50 billions of dollars, and our
annual earning power forty billions.
All the expenditures of the war will be
comparatively small in proportion to
those of the Civil war If we were to
spend in like proportion to what we
spent then, the total would be $125,-
600, 100000, or forty billions more
than have been spent by all European
countries in the past three gears. Our
nation is the wealthiest in the world,
its wealth exceeding that of England,
France, Germany and Austria COM
bined. We also have one-third of all
the gold in the world in the vaults of
