STILES EXPLAINS
 ABSENTEE BALLOT
Large Number Apply For Blank Ballots Who Con-
 template Absence

On account of the large number of absentee ballots that are being cast in the August primary, Judge J. P. Stiles took occasion yesterday to explain the rules prescribed by the legislature for absentee voting.
 Any qualified voter who will be absent on August s may take advan- tage of the law, Judge Stiles ex- plained. In writing to Judge Stiles for a ballot it is necessary for the voter to give his full name, address. precinct and polling place. This must be done five days prior to the pri- mary No ballots will be issued after August 2.
 Upon the receipt of the request from the voter, Judge Stiles encloses a blank ballot in a self addressed envelope to be returned to Ernest E. Matthews. chairman of the county democratic committee. In addition to the ballot a blank is enclosed which the prospective voter must fill out in the presence of notary public to the effect that he is a qualified elector and will be out of the city on the date of the primary. The affida- wit is returned to MT. Matthews along with the ballot.
 Those who can come personally to the office of Judge Stiles are enabled to fill out all the required blanks at once. A number who expect to be out of the city are doing this. as less work is required of the voter and of the probate judges office.
 Judge Stiles emphasizes that no absentee ballots will be issued within the five days preceding the primary. So far about 150 have cast their bal lots and Judge Stiles estimated that fully 1000 will take advantage of the absentee voting law.
 The ballots as mailed to Ernest Matthews are distributed on the morning of the primary to the proper polling places where they are placed with the other ballots and counted with them

Is Forecast of President Mar tin-AIabama Powers 1921
 Surplus $221, ,446

Thomas ". Martin. president of the Alabama Power company. in his report of operations of the com pany for the year 1921 to the Ala bama Traction, Light and Power company, the parent organization, declares that 1t Is expected that plant at Mitchell dam will be ready about February 1, 1928"
 This plant will generate 100000 horse power and 1t is understood that the additional power has been prac- tically engaged by industries wish ing electric current for operation.
 Mir. Martin also reports a decrease in industrial power sold during the year 1921 on account of the state of industry, but adds:
 'Powerssales through retail lighr- ing and utility services furnished by the company to some so cities and towns we're well maintained. and the power sold in new territory reached by transmission lines completed in 1920 and 1921 replaced in part the smaller volume of industrial power distributed in the central Alabama district.
 AhN pOWtI SOlu III new referred to by Martin went to in- dustries in the Carolinas last autumn. which. on account of low stage of water in the Carolinas' streams. were deprived of local sources of hydro electric fluid and would have gone idle but for power secured from Alabama by the trans. mission lines. This power came prin- cipally from the auxiliary steam plant at Gorgas rn the Warrior Carolina cottcn mills were the prin cipal beneficiaries of Alabama aid.
 Warrior an Asset
 MT. Martin refers to the Warrior river as an Alabama asset, saying:
 The opening of the Warrior river to navigation through the coal fields of central Alabama and the eonstrue- tion of coal handling equipment and enlarged dock capacity at Mobile will advance the industrial possi- bilities of the Birmingham district

By the public indifference to the wrongs committed upon the workers 1t has forced them to strike in their own defense. The public has for feited it's right to have the trains continued to run.

CREAMERY PASSES
MILLION MARK

The Censor editor recommends that
now is the appropriate time for the
some $50 patrons of the big Viroqua
Cooperative Creamery, of which we
are all so justly proud, to get together
and fittingly celebrate one of the great
mile stones which has been achieved
in the growth of that institution-the
passing of the million-p pound butter
mark in less than ten months.
A total of 1,023,443 pounds of but
ter were manufactured the first ten
months of this year, gain over the
same period last year of 1927 lbs.
or 1S% per cent Truly this is a re-
markable showing and one that should
occasion great pride in the hearts of
every officer and patron of the cream
cry. 1t should call for celebration
and we hope that the officials will ar
range big jolification so that the rec
ord can be fittingly commemorated.

PACKING OF WEED

Charlie Shannon is here from La
Crosse supervising the shipping of the
big packing purchased from the local
farmers pool. 1t will require twenty
five cars to hold the crop, and it is
being shipped to Portage by the Cen
eral Cigar Co.
The sale of this packing is one of
the biggest and most pleasant oc-
currences in this community in a long
time, bringing joy to farmers and
business men alike. The Censor is
unable to learn just the exact amount
of money involved in the transaction,
but roughly speaking it viii run about
$3.50, 000-a very tidy sum indeed in
this time of tightness of money.
