COAL SITUATION SERIOUS

The coal situation throughout the
country is not materially changed dur
ing the past fortnight, except that the
weather severity requires a double
portion of fuel to keep people from
freezing. All efforts on part of the
government and Others in authority
have failed to affect a workable ad-
justment of differences, and miners
decline to return to work, notwith-
standing the fact that their fellow
creatures in every community of our
broad land are in desperate straits,
caused by lack of fuel At a meet
ing held, in Washington, yesterday,
miners refused to accept the sugges-
lions and terms of the president, but
1t is stated another meeting will be
held this week, in effort to get togeth-
er on terms.
Half of the industries of the land
are compelled to shut down. throw
ing out of employment millions of
working people. In Chicago and Mil
waukee there are over 10000 such.
Conservation of fuel is the order on
every hand. We are fortunate, indeed.
who live in wooded section, and the
farmers are bringing sufficient guam
titles to town to meet the demands.
Little coal is being received by our To-
cal dealers, and with careful use and
mixing of the wood that comes to
town this community is to be eongrat-
ulate on its favorable situation
A number of gentlemen met with
the city council last evening. to review
the situation, and it was the judg-
ment that no unusual measures will
be necessary here. In most places re-
strictions are enforced.

THEY MAKE MERRY
VirOqua Odd Fellows Observe Annual
Roll Call

Saturday vening last VirOqua indie
pendent Order of Odd Fellow lodge
and Regina Rebekah lodge held an
nual Roll Call" at their new and
spacious hall. At $50 the banquet
tables were filled and over three hun
bred enjoyed that feast of good things
and the hour of social intercourse.
The "Roll Calp was made by f. M.
Minshall who has so often and so ably
presided on such occasions. Several
of the members who were present
gave brief talks; among these We're
A. +. Smith, Albert Carmichael and
c. w. Noble, the latter had driven up
from Newton for the roll call. From
Henry L. Gardner of Green Bay, VIM.
Nj. Boufileur of Salem, Oregon, and
others, interesting letters were read,
and, at times, musical numbers vari-
ed the program. These were render
ed by Mrs. Ray Huschkaand the Miss
es Matte jackson and Iva Fisher,
pianists; and by Mrs. Chas. Parker
who, accompanied by Mrs. A. F..
Smith, on the piano, sang. These adj
ditions to the program were sincerely
appreciated and heartily encored.
After the program dancing and
cards were the order of the evening
and the Odd Fellows are all young

ira started. The |. o. o. +. roll calf
is always an event, and the 1919 one

HAS STUCK PUBLISHERS HARD
Recent Increase In Printers Stock is
Staggering Load

Every newspaper publisher and
printing establishment in the land is
seriously effected by the elbow that
killed father" and it is liable to put
out of business many printers and
publishers The increase in price on
paper on which newspapers are print
ed is practically doubled, and that
fairly well tells the story of increased
cost of everything that is used in
printing office. The outcome can mean
nothing else except increase in sub
scription prices, in advertising rates
and general commercial job printing
work. Almost every paper one picks
up makes early announcement of adj
vanced rates. Just how soon it must
come to Censor patrons we will not
say. But it means now that all sub
scriptions should be paid in advance.

THE GREATEST ON RECORD
VERNON COUNTY'S FINANCIAL
SHOWING AT TOP
Banks Show Assets far Above Best
RecOrd-Haf- Million Gain in
Two Months

In an assuring measure the financial
standing and prosperity of commu-
nifty is represented through its banks,
for they are the channel through
which business is transacted in large
degree. Vernon county banks today
tell story of unprecedented prosper
ity for the people Bank deposits
here are largely the funds Of farmers
and individuals, business men usually
being borrowers.
The financial statements made on
September "a, by the fifteen county
banks, showed assets and deposits to
be $S,O3l ,590.62, while today's showing
is $S,563 ,224.95, or an increase above
half-milliOn. 1t is a remarkable
and satisfactory exhibit of the coun-
tvs resources. The total property of
the county is equalized at $44 GAG, 1915,
by the late board of supervisors, and
here we have one-fifth that amount in
cash in our banks.
Only one bank showed a falling off
in deposits since the September sched-
ules were filed. The new statements

lost little son, about years old, as
result of burns. 1t almost seems
that the lad was predestined to meet
some such fate. He had previously
had narrow escapes from drowning
and poisoning. On this occasion he
got hold of an old can hidden away
in his fathers garage, containing gas
oline, and poured part of the contents
in the stove. As he did so the flame
shot forth and caught his clothing
