WRITES FROM THE SOUTH
PROF. REINDEL DESCRIBES HIS
AUTOMOBILE TRIP
1850 Miles in Nine and Half Days
on Twenty Miles TO the Gallon
Editor CENSOR


Editor Censor
New Orleans is busy place and
an interesting one. No one seems 70
know the directions-it's uptown and
downtown, woodland and river There
are some beautiful wide avenues and
some dingy, narrow streets. Palms
live oaks, magnolias and myrtles are
everywhere. This isn't a banana coun-
try but here on the campus are sew
eral clumps Of banana plants, some
with fruit. We also have the palms,
oaks, magnolias and rnyrtles mention
ed above and figs, oleanders, roses,
umbrella trees, (Chinese) etc.
Incidentally, there are mosquitoes
here and they have taken a great
fancy to northern blood. But beds
equipped with bars" tas the mosqui-
TO netting canopies are called) are
quite an effective protection at night.
Porches are galleries"
Our trip down was an education
too. The immense cornfelds of CEN
ira Illinois, the Illinois coal mines,
the Ohio river Kentucky tobacco (quite
different from Wisconsin, cotton fields
and cotton picking in Mississippi, and
sugar cane in Louisiana made a con-
tinuous geography lesson.
A synopsis of our migration could
run something like this. First day,
rain. Skidded into ditch. Pulled out
by truck. Bum hotel. One puncture
Second and third days. Generally
good roads. Second day. One pune
ture.
Fourth day-Terrible roads. Hills
that | wouldn't attempt If wet.
Fifth day. Ferried across Ohio, but
first taken across Mississippi to Mis-
souri, shore. Lost one-half day.
Sixth day. Sunday-rested in a
most homelike little hotel in Sharon,
Tennessee. Five church buildings, no
services that day.
Seventh and eighth. Roads reas-
sonably good-some rough, some not
so good Eighth day, one puncture.
Ninth day. Lots Of sand. Skidded
in sand. Stuck, Pulled out.
Tenth day. Some good, some bad
roads. More of the latter. Caught
in rain. Some bad mud. Two blow
outs-one in deepest mud.
Eleventh day. Miserable roads.
Misdirected and drove about thirty
miles farthur than necessary. Arriv-
ed at Shidell too late for ferry. Left
car and came last thirty miles by
train. viii get car this week. One
puncture.
Both blow-outs and three of the
four punctures on right rear wheel.
No engine trouble Nine and one
half days driving-almost 1850 miles
and almost exactly twenty miles
to the gallon.
Frankly, / don't want to drive it
again right away. It's hard work.
All well.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market

Edgerton, Wis, Sept. %, 1921.
Aside from harvesting and housing
of tobacco, news is as scarce as ice
in a mill pond in July. By news we
mean the kind of news that growers
and packers would like to hear from
now on. The 1920 portion in the hands
of the indenendent packers is in the
process of sampling. Some of the
samples have reached the Weter Street
market. Hhere they say that the
northern end of it shown is unusually
fine in quality and burn, though a lit
tie darker than some packers want it.
In commenting on it the Leaf says:
at is a crop that cost the packer more
money than any crop of Wisconsin to-
bacco on record and on which, even at
the necessarily high asking prices, viii
net the holder little If any profit"
Western holders know that the stuff
is good, and see no reason why it
should linger long in their hands even
at the prices they are obliged to ask.
The large remnant of 1920 still in
the hands of the growers is still safe
enough where it is, but the owners
are in need of money, and the hope of
some advance money on the contracts
for 1921 sales, now dissipated, they
would like to sell. Those who have
straight stemming goods are letting
it go at the and cent figure, long
established, but those who have some
longer sizes in their holdings are wait
ing in the expectation that the de-
mand viii assert itself before the 1921
big crop of binders becomes available
for the trade.
The week did not open propitiously
for the harvesct Of the late fields, but
a sigh of relief was lifted as the wind
direction again changed from the bore
as regions before any frost damage
was recorded.
Heavy rains again the flrst days o.
the week are delaying the harvest.

VIEWS OF MRS. WILLARD
They Are Expressed Relative To
The Cunningham Case

They Are Expressed Relative To
The Cunningham Case
From Fridays Daily
Mrs D. G. Willard, one of the
members of the jury which sat IN the
case of the State of Minnesota
against Arthur Cunningham accused
of moonshining, says that while the
case had some amusing features in
it, nevertheless 1t was serious mat
ter. She thinks that in this case
where the defendant was an ignor.
ant negro, the very best evidence
should have been produced before a
convictino was brought about. Mrs.
Willard said that if she had a boy
taken up for the same offense, it
would take a great deal more evil
dence to satisfy her of his guilt.
While there were some amusing
incidents in that trial." said Mrs.
Willard, Il think that the most
amusing of them all was the fact
was outwitted by the two colored
witnesses for the state"
Mrs. Willard says that the evidence
brought out left great deal Of doubt
as to the guilt Of the defendant, and
her conscientious opinion is that II
was not proven beyond the posi-
bility of a doubt that the defendant
was guilty
Mrs. Willard is of the opinion that
there are great many strangers en-
gagged in moonsninIng, and that the
charge preferred against Mr.. Cum
ningham, may have been a ruse on
the part of the two complaining wit
nesses to throw the officers OF the
track.
~ felt that had no right to vote a
man guilty who had not been proven
so beyond the possibility of doubt
did not consider the case a laugh
ing matter. 1 thought that it was a
serious case, and wanted further in
vestigations made" said Mrs. Will
