High Cost Of Rata.

The fire prevention committee of the
Building Managers and Owners asso-
citation Of New York has issued the fol-
lowing bulletin to its members: "The
upkeep of rats has gone up. A year
or 80 ago someone figured out that It
cost us $3.50 per person per year to
feed the rats In the United States. Re-
cent figures compiled by British ex-
pert place this cost In the United
States at $75.O0O.OOO a year, which is
a trifie over 81 per person. This Ia
simply for food consumed and de-
stroyed and has nothing whatever to
do with the very considerable fire loss
they cause.

but one day something happened
which changed all this and made lit
tie Rooster feel very foolish.
One warm day Mrs. Henry Hen took
her family under the bushes out Of the
heat and told them to keep quiet, but
little Rooster began to brag that he
was very brave and that some day he
would be the cock Of the yard and
that all the others would have to obey
him.
II shall drive out all the other
ROSTERS and shall have all the corn
I want to eat before let any Of the
hens eat Bit" said little Rooster.

sorry to tell you that sometimes they
did not behave, but pecked and flew
at each other, quarreling just as some
little children do, bothering their
mother very much.
Little Rooster Chick thought be-

also thought they should mind him
and do Just as he told them.
OF course, this made sister chicks

COUNTY BOARD TUESDAY

Vernon County Board of Supervis-
ors convenes at the Court House in
Viroqua next Tuesday morning, No
vember 15th---the latest possible date
at which the board can meet. 1t is
very probable that Thanksgiving will
break into the session this year. This
has not happened for many years.
The Censor hopes that this session
of the board will thoroughly invest
igate the proposition of oiled roads
and make provision for general oiling
of our highways. In no other way
can Vernon county hope to have any
considerable mileage of good roads at
a cost within reason, We believe hard
surfaced roads are out of the question
at this time, and oiled roads are the
only solution of our good roads prob
lem. We also believe that the states
idea of building trunk highways at
great expense is wrong. We believe
that every farmer is entitled to good
road 70 his door We believe that the
farmer bringing in his load of produce
is of vital importance to the country's
prosperity; and we don't believe in
building roads for the convenience of
rich tourists to travel in comfort while
the farmer wallows in mud. BY all
means let US have a general oiling Of
roads.

vefnber 18th and ends the oath. No
canvass win be made in Vernon coun-
ty, but those who wish to renew their
membership can send or leave their
dollar at the Bank of Viroqua. 1t is
highly desirable that large number
renew their membership, not alone be-
cause Of the humanitarian appeal but
because in order to retain oar Red
Cross funds in the county we must
have an organized county chapter, and
this cannot be done without repre-
sentative membership.

most generous patronage. Their pro

The tickets will be sold by the high
school students and the profits from
the course go to assist the high school
in fitting up gymnasium. This is a
most worthy move. A gym has been
needed for years, and now that the

chase of a portable gym, the school
is going after furnishing the same.
Help them do it.

The story that Miss Vivien Hoyt,
the Red Cross county nurse, told to
the Ellsworth city government Mon
day evening of the physical condi-
schools, and of conditions she found
in some homes here, amounts almost
to an indictment of ELLSWORTH
civilization. Miss Hoyt appeared be-
for the board to urge the i'm
portance of a community Red Cross
nurse for Ellsworth. Her plea did
not fall upon deaf ears. If the
money were available, we believe the
city government would be justified,
criticism from the taxpayers, at
least not from parents, if the full
amount necessary to secure a city
nurse, $4,000, was appropriated from
the city treasury. This, however,
would not be possible, as the budget
for the year has already been made
up, but we believe the city govern
ment should go to the limit of, say,
$500. If the people of Ellsworth
and friends of Ellsworth can in a
few days raise $4,000 for high
school building for the education of
its children, surely they can raise
$500 or $4,000 for the health of
those children.

HIGH SCHOOL FUND.
Proceeds from Food Fair and Sub
scriptiOns About $4,000.


Edward F. Small, treasurer of
the Boosters club, has furnished a
preliminary statement of the re-
ceipts from the food fair and a
complete list of donations to date
to the Ellsworth high school build
ing fund. A final statement of all
receipts and expenditures cannot be
made, as bills are not yet all in.
A careful estimate indicates that
the net proceeds of the food fair
and donations will be $10,50O.
The donations or subscriptions
amounted to $7,612.25, of which
there has been paid in, in cash and
Liberty bonds at par, to date
$5,2S4. The food fair manage
ment is anxious to close up the mat
ter and deposit the funds with the
Ellsworth High School Building
association, and hopes that all I'M
paid subscriptions will be forth
coming at once, so that it will be
unnecessary to send out notices.
Payments may be mailed to e. F.
Small, treasurer, or left at the Lib
erty national bank, and receipts
will be mailed.
Following is complete list of
donations and subscriptions to the
fund made through the food fair
committee:
