is WORKING DAY AND MIGHT
County Exemption Board Is Pushing
Classi6catiOn--A Suggestion

The missionaries have all been
mailed out and they are coming back
rapidly. The board is putting in three
hours each night in classification work
They issue the following suggestions:
The regulations require that a reg
istrant whose only claim for deferred
classification is on the ground of agri-
culture or industry should be CLASH
fled in Glass / by the local board. In
such cases the usual notice of CLASH
fication on form 1905 is mailed to the
registrant. This card is misleading,
as it gives the impression that appeals
must be taken within five days from
the date of the card,
A rubber stamp has ben secured for
this class Of eases, which gives notice
that '"This is not a notice of final
classification No action whatever
has been taken on your agricultural
cor industriall claim. Your ques-
tionnaire will be sent to the district
board in few days for action on that
claim. You will be notified by this
local board of the decision of the Dis
trict board when it is made"
Therefore, if your only claim is on
these grounds, don't go TO the local
board to appeal until you have receiy-
ed notice of the decision of the dis
trict board.
The foregoing applies only to in
dustrial and agricultural claims, and
if you are not satisfied with your elas-
sifcation on the grounds of depend
eney or other grounds you must APP
peal within five days.

BROUGHT BIG BUNCH OF "MoN"
Largest Crop of Tobacco Delivered
Larson Brothers of Viroqua

Larson Brothers Of this city, on
Monday, made delivery of their crop
of 1917 tobacco, and we doubt if a
larger acreage or more pounds will be
sold by one grower in the county. 1t
was delivered az the Espeseth house
to Schwartz Il Haskins, foreign hand
lers.It Was a / 5 acre crop, weighed
1890 pounds and they received a
check for S3,037 IS II was made up
Of 35l bundles, only 81 of which were
harvested before the hard frost fell,
all the 317 other bundles being dam
aged. The crop had been contracted
at % and Z. but liberal reductions
We're allowed for frost damage. The
Larson Brothers think that under IA
vorable weather condit MS, at present
prices, they would have received $4,000
As it was. they got about what they
usually do from the same ground, and
they consider themselves lucky Any
way it is a fine financial pIt -un. If
there is larger sale and deivery in
the county of 1917 growth the Censor
will be pleased 10 have it reported for
publication.
But STOP!
Our challenge TO bigness and finan-
cial returns has been answered even
before the type slugs are cold. Isaac
Tollackson and Sons. Of Jefferson, are
the high men. They delivered their
II acres to Nels Solverson and Charl-
es Serns, representatives of the Amer
lean Company. 1t weighed 2l,174
pounds and the Tollacksons were Civ
en- check for $3,9l4.69. The origi-
nal price al which this crop was con-
tracted is "a and 7 cents. Hugh Blu
chanan delivered to the same parties
his 6-acre crop for which he received
$1,709.0l.
The Censor is told that fully one
half of the above crops were frost

DOES This AFFECT YOU?
HERE is ANOTHER BLOCK TO
FULL CITIZENSHIP
Highest Court Makes Ruling Which
May Affect Many Vernon
County People

Following is an order just received
by the Clerk of Circuit Court of La
Crosse county from Robert S. Cole
man, chief naturalization examiner:
"Your particular attention is called
to the fact that yesterday the su-
preme court of the United States
handed down an opinion holding that
no declaration Of intention executed
either under the old law or under the
new law is valid Tor naturalization
purposes after it is seven years old.
1t will therefore become my duty to
move dismissal of any petition based
on a declaration Of intention over sew
en- years old, regardless of the fact as
to whether It was executed under the
old law or under the new law"
The Censor fears this will affect
many men in Vernon county who may
have taken out their first citizenship
papers. 1t seems certain that they
must commence over again in order to
become fully naturaliZed e their dec
laration was made mo g han seven
years since. All who r.tena TO take
that action should examine their first
papers and ascertain their present
status.
In La Crosse county among those
whose names were on the present cal
endar for full citizenship, fifty-two
were found not to be eligible because
of the new court ruling.

At PRIMITIVE DAYS AGAIN

Locally the Plan

The people of the cities and towns
and the railroads of the country are
just now at one of the most critical
periods in history. With war demand
ing every energy of private and pub
he industry, the community and in
dividual must care for itself The
fuel shortage is alarming, and a con-
| tinuation of present severe weather
leach day 10 to - below zero) suf-
fering must follow. There has been
much of it in the cities during the
snow and railroad blockade of the past
ten days.
The c. N. & St. Paul Railroad COM
pany has laid off $50 trains on it's
system, and other roads are following.
They cannot secure coal to operate
freight because of this.
We are having one train on the vi
roqua branch, coming in and depart
ing in the morning on old schedule.
They handle no freight for outside
points beyond the branch line. We
will have no Sunday train. Last Sat
urday and Sunday we had no trains
on that line.
Up-to-date the Southeastern trains
have operated as usual, and no orders
nave bGGAA iSSUGQ W LiiS GOAAti al
A number of citizens met with the
city council, last evening, to discuss
fuel shortage as it now exists inViro-
qua and surrounding villages. Dealers
have no supply of coal on hand and it
is very uncertain when any can be Sc
cured. To conserve its use was the
question. 1t was determined to close
the city library, get the churches to
unite their services, close the electric
light plant at such hours as are alb
solutely not necessary. A committee
of the council was appointed to look
up wood supplies through the coun-
try and if considered necessary to buy
i1r the city and furnish to citizens.
The puDiic schools are about the only
place in town where a moderate sup
ply of coal is on hand.

THEDoMGsoFA WEEK IN WEEP
Weather a Handicap We're BETTER
OF than Elsewhere

Extreme and continued cold weather
has not prevented everyday move
ment in tobacco. Every day deliv-
cries have been made, many hauling
from Genoa, Victory De Soto, LaFarge
and other distant points. A great per
cent of this has gone to our local pack
ing houses, and several carloads ship
ped out by local representatives of
foreign dealers. To the embarras-
ment of the latter was added the car
shortage, but they managed to secure
partial transportation facilities. 1t
has been a trying time for all con-
cerned. but there is no condition of
weather that will prevent dealers and
growers from activity in the tobacco
game.
There is no lack of the weed to keep
our packing house crews going, and all
available sizing help in being util-
lied. The going price for sizing is
S1.20 and $l.25 per hundred pounds,
the highest pay ever given here.
Frank Mcintosh, who recently re-
turned from Edgerton, says not to
exceed one-half of the acreage of to-
bacco in that section is off the poles;
that much of it was frozen in the shed
and is in bad shape. Some of the
goods received by him at his Viroqua
warehouse is being shipped direct to
the stemmers to be worked up.
The Times tells that crop of three
acres delivered in Westby by Peter
johnson of Irish Ridge, which weighed
out 1888 pounds and brought the snug
sum of S1,355.06.
The Edgerton Tobacco Reporter,
among extensive comment, has this to
say regarding conditions in that sec
ton: This state has been smother
ed under a heavy snow fall which the
gale has piled in drifts and handi-
capped most activities in the tobacco
sections during the week The tobac-
co bulks are yet so hardly frozen that
not much Roadway can be made in the
stripping, and only a moderate amount
of receiving has been attempted be-
cause of the bad roads. We learn,
however, there has been some rejec-
tions made at receiving points on ac-
count of high case leaf contained in
the bundles. Enough has been writ
ten to warn growers in this particular
so there ought to be but little excuse
for inviting trouble by attempting to
deliver tobacco unsuitable for packing
High case or wet butts simply don't go
and that is all there is about it. 1t is
somewhat of a question, too, as yet,
to what use the shed frozen leaf can
be put or what value it has in the mar
ket. These are matters that might
lead to more or less friction in the set

GOOD BOOKS WANTED
FOR BOYS OVERSEAS

Atlanta, Aug. 5.-The American Ii
brary Association has sent out call
for books for the boys overseas, and
asks that everybody help in the move
ment to supply the men in Khaki
with reading matter.
Already 100000 books have gone
overseas, but the fighters of the line
have developed such an insatiate ap-
petite for reading that the number is
in-adquate for their needs. The call OF
the Association throws an interesting
light on the class of books most popu-
lar overseas. 1t asks for new novels
of good tone, stories of the west, land
books and stories, by Zane Grey, o.
Henry, Rex Beach and others, show
ing that the war wearied mind Graves
diversion It recalls the fact that
Woodrow Wilson's great mental diver
sion is the reading of detective stories
The Library Association states that
it needs several hundred thousand
books, so every body has chance to
help. The books should be sent in to
the nearest Carnegie or public libra
ry, and should be plainly marked For
the Soldiers Overseas.
