Lieutenant Gladish, Aviator at Our
Fair, Receivers from His Injuries

President Minshall of the agricul-
tural society, is in receipt of note
from the aviator at our late fair, who
on leaving here had an accident that
resulted in death of his engineer, in
jury to himself and destruction of the
aeroplane, the property of Mrs. H. l..
Potter of Madison. Writing concern
ing himself Mr.. Gladish says: II am
practically well now, just have cou-
pie of small scars to show for my
long fall. The doctor has said that /
can start work this week, so | hope
to get start soon. I'd like to do a
little flying, but the season is over
and positions as pilot are scarce. Of
course / don't intend to make flying
a regular occupation, but I'd much
rather stop in a successful trip than
with crash. / may go to a univer-
sity the first of the year. Mrs. Potter
is very sick. l imagine her illness is
because of overwork and worry. Give
my regards to my Viroqua friends.
l enjoyed my stay there very much,
and found you all very kind. / am
appreciative of the courtesies ex-
tended"

WORKING To CLEAN 1T UP.
BUYERS ARE INDUSTRTOUSLY
IN THE GAME
Tobacco Activity is General in the
State-HOme Folks Luck in Sales
and Otherwise

Steady riding and cautious buying
has made it possible for a large per
cent of Vernon county growers to dis
| pose of their tobacco holdings at re-
munerative prices. The valley acre
age was first picked and put under
contract then the up-lands was sought;
later the hail damaged goods were
| commenced upon, making, to date.
quite satisfactory cleanup. At this
stage of the game an unusually large
average of the 5000 acres in the
county have been sold.
Wet weather brought about eonsid-
cradle early removal from the polls of
a portion of crops. Stripping and
bundling are in order in a moderate
way, and in isolated cases delivery Of
new weed has been made.
Edgerton Tobacco Reporter tells of
conditions at it sees them at home and
at distance in the growing eenters
as follows:
The market conditions present the
calm which was expected to follow the
storm of the opening of the drive for
the 1919 offerings. In the northern
counties, firms who are interested in
hailcut andcommon grades are buying,
and having no difficulty at getting
what they want at the prices they
offer. Some of the northern valleys
are practically cleaned up.
In the southern section much good
1919 leaf is still in the hands of the
growers. The packers took big slice
of the best binders in going over the
top a week or two ago, and though
they are out for more of the same
goods, they are no longer in any hurry
about it. The situation in the field
market IS similar to the one prevail
ing in the Water street market. The
manufacturers were hot upon the trail
of the 1918 packing, and snapped it up
in short order because they liked it
and needed it. After their need had
been taken care of, the market return
ed to normal The packers in the
field bought, impelled by the same
motives, bought fast and got lot;
as soon as they had the edge of their
appetites taken off by the first course.
they settled down to enjoy the balance
of the menu. That is the condition
of the market today. There is tobac-
co bought right along, but without
haste, and nothing has developed dur
ing the week to indicate that these
normal and sane market conditions
will be upset by any new elements be-
tween now and the time of the deliv-
cry of the 1919 crop. While some
stripping was done during the excel
lent case weather of last week, the
work was by no means general. What
little of the early tobacco is stripped,
looks promising.

MENDICAN'TSOF PETR0CRAD IN
 SORRY PLIGHT

EXCHANGED, June 16 (by maiD.- Ivan Davidoff, a wood supply contrac- tor, who has recently returned from Petrograd, says he found that city al- most unrecognizable. Tramways were approaching a standstill, and there was hardly any artificial lighting. He often saw starved horses fall down and die in the streets.
 Everywhere one saw starved and emaciated people, unable to walk, ly- ing or sitting in the streets, begging for bread" he said. Later these heartrending spectacles were seldom to be seen, as Red Guards collected such mendicants and took them away. No one I knew could tell me for cer- tain their ultimate fate, but often one heard the communist motto, Anyone who does not work shall not eat, and must die
 The poor-houses, hospitals for in firm or helpless wounded soldiers were all used as barrack and commune headquarters, the inmates being thrown out to die.
 Many starving children of work men were expatriated to sO-called grain-growing regions, but unfortu- nately, now no district can grow enough grain to feed itself adequately. The lack of food, especially in the cap- ital, was appalling.
 "In Petrograd and Moscow many an honest and educated woman has been forced to sell herself for food or cloth ing. The people look like the inmates of hospital, and the death rate is phenomenal"

 Why should some specuIating New York people be allowed to get a cor ner on a block of tickets and hold them until the pasteboards bring an enormous sum?

TWO CHANCES
 BY PRINCETON
 FOR YALECAmE E

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 14-An elev- enth hour shift in the forward line as the Tigers took the field here yester- day afternoon for the final workout before departing for New Haven this morning revealed the fact that Head Coach Bill Roper is not going to start the same eleven against the Ellis that commenced against Harvard last Saturday.
 There will be two changes in the makeup of the team when it trots out on the gridtron in the Yale bowl on Saturday afternoon. Stanley Keck is in frst-class condition again and resumed his old station at left tackle This meant that new place had to be found for Bigler, who had gone from left end to left tackle when Keck was forced from the lineup by injuries.
 Davis has been displaying such I fine brand of football at left end that there was no thought of dropping him so Parisette was taken from his berth at right tackle in favor of Bigler This move surprised most of the knowing ones, because it has been thought that Parisette's great playing in the Harvard contest has earned him a regular job There is no doubt in the minds of those who have seen the team play this year that the blonde tackle will be in the lineup Saturday during part of the game at least
 The lineup, as definitely decided upon for the Yale game Saturday, was announced last night as follows:
 Left end, Davis; left tackle, Keck; left guard, Baker; centre, Callahan; right guard, McGraw; right tackle, Bigler; right end, Williams; quarter back, Struggling; left half back, Trim ble; right half back, Wittmer; full back, Garrity.

BROWN HOPEFUL OF
 BEATING DARTMOUTH

Providence, F. l.. Nov. 14-Brown is confident of a victory over the Dartmouth football team on Saturday at Boston The coaches and players alike feel that the big Green eleven is more battered and tired than the members of their own squad. More over, the team which will enter the fray this week will be the strongest of any pat on the field this year. Practically every student on the hill is going to the game, a special train being secured to take them to the Hub.
 It is not certain that Albright, the crack end, will start, but it is the in tention of the coaches to use him if possible. In case his injured shoulder prevents him from entering the game Brisk or McSweeney will play Both are above the average standard of ends and hardly would weaken the lineup.
