The pains in the pit of my stomach

hurt me so much. = Il

smothering spells, when I could hard

Secretary Gus Morterud of the
Asylum Board of Trustees tells the
Censor editor that the report of the
county board doing of last week con-
tanned misleading statement to the
effect that the board had appropriated
SIS, 900 for deficiency in the asylum
fund. The facts are that while the
fiscal asylum year ends June Both, the
aid from the state for the asylum for
that year is not received until in Feb
ruary, and it is necessary to borrow
from the other county funds to tide
over until that time. This has been
the practice for years past, and the
board thought it wise to appropriate
money so that in the future no deficit
in the asylum fund would occur from
this cause.
Our good friend, Sam Lake, drop
ped in today to offer fine 4-year-old
Percheron for sale at SIS, and incl
dentally told us of a happening that
makes US wonder just what is wrong
with the railroads. A Vernon county
man travelling through the Dakotas,
attended an auction in one of the crop
failure districts and bid in fine team
of Percheron mares for SIS. Jubilent
over his purchase he went TO the de-
pot to arrange to ship them beck to
Gods country-Vernon county. To
his indignation and dismay he learned
that the charges would be $50. So
long as the railroads get more for
hauling the farmers produce than the
farmer gets for raising it, real pros
perity viii stay afar OF. The recent
drop Of ten per cent in freight rates
on all farm produce is a step in the
right direction. Step agafn--and
again-and again. Then maybe rates
would be down to reason. The pros
perity Of the nation starts with the
farm. When the farmer is prosper
Gus, all other industrious and deserv-
ing people are prosperous. When the
city manufacturer and the city labor
unions find out that the war is over,
then r-osneritv viii -pturn 70 the rec-
pie in the small towns and country

CROP ABOUT ALLSTRIPPED
VERNON'S WEED WILL ALL BE
IN BUNDLE THIS WEEK
Edgerton Man Buys rs Acres But
Probably NOGeneral Buying Move
Until January

Soft moist weather continues, and
has given tobacco growers fine OPP
portunity to strip their crops recently
removed from the poles, and it is prob
able that ninety per cent of Vernon's
1921 crop will be in thu bundle by Sat
urday night of this week.
Just when the buying movement will
begin is problem. Most all dealers
still have high priced weed on hand
and are not inclined to make a mad
scramble for the new crop with condi-
tions so unsettled. Sweeney of Ed
gerton has had nine men here riding al
various times for the past three weeks,
who have picked up about 125 acres,
They pulled out last week, and no
general buying move is anticipated
before January LIST.

new BASE BAEL DIAMOND

Possibly it may be just little pre-
mature to think of base ball matters
in December, but the Viroqua Ball
Club believes in taking time by the
forelock, and plans are now under way
to make the Viroqua diamond the best
in this section of the state. Pet Nor
rison took the Fordson and the plows
out to the fair grounds and plowed up
the old diamond and outfield-510 feet
square This will be disked, dragged
and rolled, making a skinned" dia-
mond and outfield. The diamond will
be swung two feet to the right in order
TO get the sun out of the first base
mans eyes, and the entire diamond
moved twenty feet to the north. A
high wire fence will be constructed
at the edge of the race track and con-
tinued up both foul lines. This will
permit race horses to warm up while
the game is in session, or the holding
of the two events at the same time if
necessary

young and the Paige car was new, this
homely druggist and his sweet young
wife were caught on hill after
rain storm without the chains on. He
sat in the drivers seat and told his
wife that he had TO hold the car from
going backward and she would have
to put on the chains. Well, the Mrs.
got out and dragged around in the mud
and put 'em on, by heck, while her
lord and master sat in the front seat
