MEMORIES OF THE OLD DAYS
Simeon Collins Tells of Severe Winter
in Pioneer Times

Editor Censor: Talking about a
cold winter reminds me of the winter
of 1881. My father moved from our
old homestead to a farm near where
| live at the present time. 1t was in
the latter part of November that he
undertook to build log house, and it
being so far from our home, after he
had 1t partly done we moved in. The
weather was fine and warm when we
moved and the house only had half
the roof on and that was only rough
boards laid up and down the roof. No
upper floor at all and only half the
lower floor laid with no dobbing 1--WE
called it those days) in, only chunked
up to the upper jOist. That night af-
ter we moved it turned colder and
showed about 8 or 10 inches. Talk
about comfort. Didn't we have it
then. But goood health and willing
hands soon remedied it all.
The late Henry Knapp ran sawmill
"a water power) just across the little
valley from where Anton Nelson now
lives, and my father soon cut and
hauled logs enough to get lumber to
finish our house, which he did in only
"a few days, and the plastering we
used was little cheaper than what is
used now. 1t was good yellow clay.
You may ask, did any of us children
get sick. l can readily say we all
stayed in the best of health. | often
think children were so much healthier
then than they are now.
The snow kept on coming until it
was nearly three feet deep and drifted
over top of the fences. All the fences
were rail then and it was good place
TO catch the snow in. A lane on Su-
gar Grove ridge had drifted full and
where the people shoveled it out It
looked like the rail road cut through
a small hill. But for all the cola end
snow every body was healthy aEd hap

How About The Six Weeks School

AAOW AhbOut lnC EOiA w GEMS GDCAlDOi
We still need about ten more boys to
get our school started right. If you
have not put in your application, you
should do it Immediately.
Lacrosse county is coming to the
front, not because it has better soil
and more intelligent farmers, but be-
cause the young men in the county
for the last seven years have been at
tending school, and with the coopera-
ton of their fathers have put La
Crosse county among one of the fore
most in the state.
Vernon county as a whole has better
soil, just as intelligent farmers, and
has all the opportunities of becoming
as prosperous county as any in the
state, but we must resort to more
careful seed selection, butter live stock
and study the care and feeding of live
stock, to where we can get the largest
returns in the most economical way.
Young men, let's crowd the short
course to its full capaciay, and make
Vernon county a more prosperous
county.

ing mail by train.
The matrix, or she'll, from which

through on the first aeroplane carry

Omaha. This matrix left Chicago at
s o'clock, reaching Omaha at l2:45.

TO MEXICO WITH
new ELG|N AUTO
Terrific Endurance Test While
Paint Still Fresh-Not
a Break or
PunCture.

Il isn't often that 4 new car own
er has an opportunity to find out,
right at the start, just what his car
will do under prolonged and adverse
circumstances. He generally has to
have it for while. \On the other
hand, the few who may have occa-
sion to test the endurance of their
cars while the paint is still new sell
dom find 90 effective means of an
alyzing its merit as did a prominent
western motorist, T. H. Vogl, a few
days ago.
South to Mexico.
No sooner than he had made his
purchase of new Elgin Six from
{. P. lies, Elgin distributor in
Seattle, Wash. than he was behind
the wheel and off with party of
guests on a 2300-mile journey south
across the states to old Mexico.
Two remarkable things-one of
particular interest to Mr.. Ills and the
other-well to whole lots of people
these days-are revealed in an en-
thusiastic letter which he wrote upon
reaching his destinations:
We averaged little over 2215
miles to the gallon of gasoline and
400 miles to quart of oil. In Ore
gon we encountered a great number
OF severe detours. and hills that were
long and>>steep-some pitches all of
SO per cent--but in spite of these,
mighty rough roads and the ex-
tremely heavy, load we were carrying
we averaged 40 miles day, and
when it came to those three and
four mile grades we stayed with the
best of then.
Not An Adjustment. \
Haven't had a wrench on the car
or made an adjustment of any kind.
"As the enclosed picture will
show, we were over the southern
line in old Mexico today; and we
thought of you fellows, slipping cold
tea while we were resting one foot
on rail saying, Fill EN- up again.
For shame, prohibitionists!
Then he added, "Oh yes, must say
we haven't had puncture."
