sHALLwEKEEP WITH THE PACE
Will This Community Have a Military
Company for the State?

Many surrounding towns and COM
munities are organizing companies for
the purpose of entering the State Ma
tional Guard, the official military unit
of the commonwealth. There is no
valid reason why Vernon county might
not have a company of militia. This
community has the spirit, the young
men and besides there are abundance
of timber for officers and trainers to
be had among the returned soldiers,
and men to fill the ranks
The Censor hopes our young men
will consider well this proposition,
those who have been in the service and
others.

the incidents of war that came most
wildly to his vision, some humorous,
mostly a portrayal Of the darkest and
more cruel side of war. The most
touching talk was by Ray LOCKER,
who told of the Lost Battalion" of
which he was a member. During five
days of watching and fighting his
comrades were reduced from $50 TO
1873 men, and he described it as five
days in hell and five without eating.
It was a recital of modern warfare
and suffering that chilled to the mar

triating over 100000 allied prison

ARE PICKING TOBACCO CROPS
Good Percent of County Acreage Is
Contracted For

There has not been the animation
of late in the tobacco score that pre-
vailed the first ten days following
the outbreak of contracting nearly a
month since. Buying has proceeded,
however, and those best prepared to
judge tell the Censor that fully three
fourths of the county acreage has been
sold. Prices appear to have been
maintained around the 80 to 35 stand

Soft weather has permitted the TAX

goods have even been delivered.
