RoI iCaH on the Gordon Amendment.
In speaking 10 his amendment for

have tina highest opinion of the per-

but my real objection is that there
lis not single man of that court
which has not political affiliations
which has placed him there. There
have been members of this body who
would swap pageship for a mem
bership of the supreme court. The
only cure for the evils or democracy
lis more democracy. Thirty-seven
states OF the Union trust the people
to elect their judges. and the people
of Virginia can elect good judges just
"a successfully as they elect Cover

OF ONLY ONE MEast RE

In tire course Of remarks at Tues
day nights session of the senate.
Senator f. Lee Trinkle. in urging ac-
tton on the calendar bills. stated that
he had no personal interest in urging
passage of bills. except for the pub
lie interest, for he had during this en-
tire session offered but one bill of
which he was patron. or this he said
he WAS proud.
II is probable that this record is
not eaualted by any other members.
Judging from the great number OF
bills introduced. Those who have

LUTHERAN DRIVE BEGINS
NORWEGIAN CHURCHMEN COM
MENCE BIG WAR WORK
Will Raise $4,000 In One Week
Vernon's Share S5,000--Cap-
tains Are Appointed

During the week of February 1926,
the Lutheran churches Of America
viii eaise the first budget for the
wears extensive work to aid and COM
fort the boys of that denomination in
the services Of the United States.
The amount to be raised is S750,0Q0,
This work. while it is in the nature
Of Red Cross activities is nevertheless
very necessary 1ad has the approval
and commene alton of President VIII
son and the national administration.
When we realize that there is only
one regular chaplain to every 5000
soldiers it is piain that there Is need
og strong effort on part OF our
ehurcheslooking toward the spiritual
needs Of the men.
Vernon county's campaign opened
Sunday evening with monster I'M
ion service of the three Norwegian
Lutheran congregations at Hofstead's
church. The service was marked by
fervent patriotism. Rev. o. o. Sovde
Of Coon Valley delivered the address.
An executive session was held Mon
day at which captains were selected
to head the drive In each church:
Smeby's charge, Ole kios; Hofstead's
charge, Otto Otteson; Jacobson's
charge ole Fjosne; Esofea, Carl John
son: Asbury Ridge, Andrew Hanson;
Smeby North Springvilie, Albert Nell
son: Hofstead, North Springville, Ger
hardt Naagland. All churches in
the coutty are lined up with captains
and their teams and the drive to Sc
cure Nernon's share, $500, is vigor-
ously proceeding with every probab-
ility of far exceeding that figure.

LEAVE FOR WEST CAMPS
REGISTRANTS VOLUNTEER FOR
LUMBER CAMP SERVICE
Those Married Since May 18th Are
Denied xemption-Remain
in Class 81

The local board has received the
recent marriage" cases from the dis
trict board and in nearly every case
of marriage since May Is, 1917, the
registrant has been placed in Glass l
for the reason shat the dependency
voluntarily created since May Is is
not sufficient reason for calling on
some one else to take his place in the
army"
Even in eases where ali3avits were
submitted showing that the parties
hsl been KEEPING company and lad
been engaged same time prior TO May
19, the ruling was the same. How
ever, those who were placed in a de-
ferred class for Industrial or ocupa-
tional reasons still retain their CLASH
fcation on that ground even though
they were placed in Class / on the
ground of dependency.
The final classification card to be
issued soon will inform the registrant
in what class he is recorded on the
classification list of the local board.
The following registrants have been
indicted into the service by the local
board this week, leaving here We'd
nesday for Vancouver Barracks, Wash
ington, to enter the spruce production
division of the aviation section: Ed
mond L. Woodcock, Liberty; Otto J.
Sletton, Whitestown; Charles O.Lew
is, Viroqua; Owen J. Snodgrass, Web
ster; Ernest LePage, Viroqua; Earl
H. Witcraft, Genoa; Olaf Hanson,Vi-
requa; Elmer E. Anderson, Liberty.
The following were indicted into the
infantry and sent TO Camp Gren, Char
lotte. North Carolina: Chas. E.Wood-
house, Victory; Nordal NJ. Neprud,
Westby; Rudolph J. Skaaland, Westby I;
Bertinius Christensen, jefferson.
On account of the uncertainty as
to when the men are liable TO be called
about the only way man liable for
service can depend upon is to apply
for induction into the service at once.
The local board can furnish trans
portation and meal tickets to the
camp selected. II is the intention cow
to send a party Of men each Weo-
nesday, and those wishing to join will
please communicate with Clerk Berlie
Moore, secretary of the local board.

it's deposits went to 100000 in thir-

1T SURELY PAYS TO ADVERTISE
Merchant Rogers Gets More Results
Than He Figured On

The Censor rises in a very elated
spirit to make very humble apology
somewhat conflicting emotions 70
be sure, but you'll understand when
we tell the story.
Last week, Merchant Rogers wished
to give a general reduction on bis
stock Of ladies' fine waists. So he
wrote his ad thusely: Ladies 81 10
81 waists reduced 81" meaning that
81 would be taken from each waist
selling at these prices. But the Cen
so ad. setter dropped in that little
word "to"--and 10, Rogers is selling
81 waists at 81 A few hundred
papers were. ran before the error was
Uncovered We hesitate 70 think of
what might have happened had the
entire edition Of 1900 Censors been
sent out bearing the mistake.
Some folks say that people aoa t
read the display advertisements in the
Censor.b bat after fighting people away
from that case Of waists for three
days, Rogers and his genial force Of
salesladies freely admit that ~ pays
10 advertise.

MUST REPORT FOOD SURPLUS
Our Administrator Secures MOdifiea-
ton of the Drastic Order

While at Madison Food Admins
TRAITOR CD Smith secured from Chair
man Larson permission TO have Yer
non county people report their sur
plus supplies of wheat flour and su-
gar more than necessary for thirty
DAYS consumption instead of having
to be Inconvenience by returning it to
the points of purchase before real
need of this drastic action appears
necessary. Mr. Smith displays COM
mendable judgr.ent not only in Sc
curing this concession but In his de-
clared administration of the order.
He relies upon the loyalty of our peo-
pie to make prompt and accurate
statements of their sdrpiusage to him
in a voluntary way, feeling that there
is no occasion for inquisitional meth
DDS, and assuring the people that IN
his opinion requisition of their sup
plies is a very remote possibility. His
letter follows:
Viroqua, Wis, February 10, 1918.
TO the Residents of Vernon County:
Some day ago the State Council Of
Defense. as a war measure, issued an
order to all persons who had to eX-
coed thirty days supply of WHEAT
t
mediately return the same to the
place where it was purchased and re-
ceive credit for the same.
I have succeeded in getting, for the
time being, slight modification to
this order. Every person living in
Vernon county who has TO exceed
thirty days supply of either -four or
sugar on hand will Immediately noti-
fy the undersigned the amount Of such
excess and when and where it was
purchased. This viii give me know
ledge as to where the surplus IS and
I viii endeavor to let you keep Il on
hand and not return it unless absO-
lutely necessary, under the order of
the government
You will use just as little wheat
-four in the mean time, as you can
possibly ger along with, using all the
substitute possible This means
every consumer in Vernon county.
Yours truly, c. J. SAITH.
CO. Federal Food Admin.
