Every year the Chautauqua management
has trouble to restrain the younger generation
of Redwood Falls-for the past two years the Wis
ting platform manager and his co-worker with
the children have made very discreditable COM
parsons between the youngsters of our town and
the other towns in which they work. It might
be as well for fond parents to do little coach

q few simple principles of courtesy to speakers
and behavior in audiences Not even the most
experienced platformist can do his or her best
when the front benches are filed with squirming
whispering, giggling humanity. Let us not for

Ellen Beach Yaw last year, and do a little pre-

This morning friday as we are working on
this column, two daily papers lie before u.s. One
bears the headline 10000 Killed in Chinese Ma
sacre"! The other features "Twenty-Six Mine
Strikers Massacred." We are moved to wonder
who, in the sight of God, is the greater offender

The thought of the responsibility which rests
upon thinking people is staggering.

THE BIJOU

After several weeks of preparation the Bijop is all set for Carnival Week which starts Sunday night, continues through the coming week and cer- tainly affords more features and sur prises than any other program the Bijou has offered since 1t was opened.
 The Sunday night program will be entirely separate from the one that comes the first three days of the week and extra effort has been made to provide for the Sunday night con- cert the liveliest, most entertaining group of pictures available in the hlm market.
 During the week there will be a reversion to the old time variety idea with I6 acts presented and with short accompanying features rather than the big feature picture. In addition there will be several added attrac- tions during the week that the pro- gram may live up to the Carnival Week idea.
 Starting Sunday night the program will have a double feature attraction in Charles Hutchinson the Thrill a Minute Stunt King" in the first in stallment of the serial, Go Get 'Em Hutch" A second big feature Sun day night only will be Neal Hart in "Rangeland,' a thrilling story of the long horn cattle country in Texas. The picture program will be rounded out with Urban's Movie Chat, Pathe News Weekly and the best comedy that Chaplin ever made.
 Monday will bring the first of the eight act programs. Heading the bill will be Jungle Jazz," a novelty with music suggested by Kipling's Jungle Book" Ethel Delmar and Hal Hixon are the featured stars. The special feature will be James Burke and Eleanor Durkin and this team is just good enough to have headlined the bill at the Fifth Avenue theater in New York five times within the past six months. The added feature will be Scanlon, Demo Brothers and Scanlon offering what they term "Old Ideas Renewed" Robinson and Pierce in a mirthful quarter of an hour, No More Saloons" suggested by Mr. Volstead; Eldredge Barlow and Eldredge; Burns and Lorraine; Ross and Hayne comedy knockabout artists and Arthur Hoskins, "The Melody Man." with a short picture features to round out the bill.

mittee, Foster cunnningly maneuvered so-called "amalgamation' resolu- ton through the Chicago Federation of Labor. The resolution was inno- cent enough but immediately after its passage the true motive behind it became manifest Foster imme- diately heralded the adoption of this resolution as an endorsement of his "amalgamation" scheme in his La Dor Herald"
 Fortunately President Gompers had previously arranged for a con ference meeting with the officers of all the local trade unions in Chicago almost immediately thereafter and Foster was driven out in the open and shown up in his true colors. As a result the trade unions of Chicago are aroused as never before and to all practical intents the Chicago unions have repudiated Fosters pat ent medicine. Indeed, the Railway Employees Department convention has buried Fosters scheme so far as the railroads are concerned.
 While there is room for improve ment in the trade union movement, while there Is Hced for greater sol- idarity among the forces of labor, tnere IS neltne1 room nor OCCdSlOn for any one to undermine the Ameri- can trade union structure and to still further divide the ranks of labor.
 This movement of Fosters is eX- tremely dangerous and particularly so at this time. It smacks of soviet ism and bolshevism and what is more, it is doing what employers have been attempting to do by might and main. The employers who are fighting the trade union movement could we'll af- ford to put Foster on their payroll and promote his Labor Herald" :" Consciously or unconsciously he is playing into their hands and is prov ing himself aa ingrate toward the trade union movement.

THE PALACE

Foolish Wives" the outstanding photo-dramatic production of not only the present year, but of all the years back since the master screen drama has gained public recognition, will be the brilliant and extraordin- ary attraction at the Palace for the entire week beginning Sunday eve ming. The million dollars and over expended on this production; the Io months required to screen the great scenes; the cast of over two thousand; the great array of princi- pal characters enacted by leading lights of the silent drama are all fea- lures that have made this production of "Foolish Wives' one of massive n1agnifcence.
 "Foolish Wives" is the great suc- cess of the picture screen; it is the great triumph of Eric von Strohein, it's director and star. By his remark able characterization of the bogus Count Sergius" in "Foolish Wives" von Stroheim has become known as the screens greatest villain and the most polished he-vamp of the silver sheet. "Foolish Wives" caused the creating and building on an Amer ican Monte Carlo for in the scenes of the monster production the most brilliant show places of the famous European resort are shown, standing where they were built in California but perfect replicas of the famed buildings of the worlds greatest pleasure ground.
 "Foolish Wives" is the most expen- sive picture ever made from the standpoint of producing worth, it is also the highest priced screen pro duction ever presented in New Ha- ven when the cost of playing rights aer considered Notwithstanding the enormous cost of securing the rights for the pictures presentation at the Palace there will be no advance made in the present price scale of the thea ter. Although "Foolish Wives" was presented at the $15o scale in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and near ly every other city the regular popu- lar prices only will be charged for it's showing at the Palace

COXEY TO LEAD ANOTHER ARMY"
 ON WASHINGTON
Tells Harding That Jobless Situa- ton Demands Immediate
 Action.

Unless President Harding bestirs
 himself in behalf of the relief of the
 unemployed, another jobless army ! will be brought to Washington by ! Gen. Jacob E. Coxey of Massilon, o. \ who gained fame at the head of a ! marching army of idle men during
 the panic of 1893.
 Notice to this effect was served up on the President by Coxey during a
 recent conference at the White House.
 "I am pleading to you and for you ito come back to the people as l would plead to my own son to come back if 1 saw him on the wrong road, " Coxey said to MT. Harding. "When you feed your favorite dog, Laddie Boy, with choice meats, think of the millions of starving children who would kneel down, pray for you, and thank you to just give them a few crumbs from your sumptuous table. Think of the parents of the children in land od plenty in the city of Akron, your home state, pleading for one days work per week. These parents are feeding potatoes to for themselves
 Think of the starving miners mak ing a dying and struggling effort to maintain the principle of the right of their union for collective bargaining.
 "When you are playng golf and taking your weekend outing on the Mayfower, just let your mind run over the suicides that have occurred since your inauguration, being at the rate of one human being for each 25 minutes since March =, 1o2I-2o,ooo per year"
 Coxey told Mr. Harding that con- trol of money should be taken from the few and lodged in the hands of the people. He has a law pending before Congress which he believes will accomplish this result.

FREIGHT CHARGES TOO HIGH

Washington, April 28.-Freight charges on farm products and many other commodities "bear a dispro- portionate relation to the price Of such commodities" and should be i'm mediately reduced, according to Con- gressman Anderson, chairman of the joint congressional commission of agricultural inquiry.
 These rates should not only came down but rate-making bodies and railroad tariff officers are advised to give ''greater consideration to the relative value of commodities in the making of rates" and let existing charges on high-priced finished pro- ducts stand, if necessary, to remove cost burdens from basic materials.

FINDS RARE BIRD-ANIMAL

When anybody in this vicinity comes
across anything in the bird or animal
line that they don't know ANYTHING
about, they usually drag it over to
Taxadermist Ray Spellum, and so
when Homer Cunningham discovered
a dead bat the other morning he lug
ged it over to Ray, who was surprised
and delighted to find that it was none
other than the grey-tipped night-fiier.
The common bat is small size and flies
only at twilight. The night-fiier fam
lily arr much larger-this specimen
having a Widespread of fourteen
inches-and they ny at night. Il is
the only specie of the night-fying
family native to this part of the coun-
try-and a very rare bird-animal to
be sure.
Like the public-spirited individual
that he is. Ray has offered his large
collection of bird skins and animal
pelts to any local institution that viii
have the same properly mounted. The
Vernon County Normal is starting a
museum, and this is a fine opportunity
for that institution 10 possess a col
lection of practically every native bird
and most of the birds of our nation.
We trust that a way VIII be found for
raising little money so that these
skins may be mounted and properly
displayed and perpetuated in our COM
muUity

BEWARE OF ME noG

Farmers residing along that section
of Number IL and p now being pre-
pared for paving by the Campbell Con-
struction Co. south of Viroqua, and
travellers who are so unfortunate as
to have to journey that way, complain
to the Censor that they are having
no end of trouble with the construction
foreman on that Job. The Censor ed
itor can well voueh for the truthful
ness of their complaints. for he unwit-
tingly turned down that same road
a few days ago, because there were
no closed signs on the road and to all
APT earanees the road was being trav-
eled sa@ularly; and we really feel
lucky to have escaped with our lives.
One scholarlyman has said that there
is no situation in life in which a man
should forget to be a gentleman" but
that wild eyed foreman apparently
never heard of the remark. The Cen
sor editor will frankly say that he
never witnessed a more childish ex-
hibition of uncontrolled temper over

Tobacco growers are being warned
to watch "wildhre," a serious eastern
tobacco disease. new 10 Wisconsin. in
letters sent out this week by c. P.
Norgord, commissioner OF agriculture.
The. trouble is infectious and is caus-
ed by bacteria 1t was discovered in
South Carolina in 1917 and has since
spread to most of the eastern tobacco
sections. The first cases in Wiscon-
sin were found and identified BY DR..
James Johnson of the experiment sta
ton last week. Since then a survey.
carried on by the state entomologist's
Office with the assistance of DR.. John
son, showed more extensive distribu-
ton than was anticipated. Growers
are asked to send suspected specimens
to DR.. Johnson at the Horticultural
Building, Madison
So far wildfire appears to be con-
fined to Dane county, but search is
being made for it in other sections.
At least thirty farms are involved. ex-
tending from Deerfeld to Waunakee
with center of infection near Burke.
The total damage will depend on
weather conditions, and the loss may
be very severe in the infected fields if
driving rains occur in late summer.
This disease differs from other to-
bacco infections in the presence of cir
euiar, bleaehed-out areas about the
size of dime. Later these pale spots
enlarge and run together. Heavily in
fected leaves are said to be practically
worthless.

WISCONSIN AUTO
ACCIDENTS in JUNE

The Wisconsin Highway Commits
sion's accident report for the month
of June shows that there was a total
of IS accidents which occurred on the
State Trunk Highways. In this num-
Der of accidents there were about $50
persons involved. Number of persons
killed, 6. Number seriously injured.
43. Number slightly injured, 81. Ac-
cidents without injuries, &c.
The accidents occurred as follows:
On straight road, 46. On curves and
corners, 80. On railroad crossings, 3.
On intersecting cross roads, 4. Other
places, 3.
The main cause for most of the ac-
cidents is wreckless driving or speed
ing. Out of the IS accidents. So of
them were caused either by wreckless
irving or speeding. The remainder
of the causes were due to defective
car mechanism, weather conditions and
miscellaneous other causes.
One of the interesting things brot
out by the figures of this month is
the fact that out of the IS accidents.
only in 80 cases did persons escape
without injuries, thus showing that in
all accidents during this month. less
than 45%o escaped injury.
The months of July and August are
the heavy traffic months on the high
ways, and if the accidents are to be
kept to ma minimum each and every
driver OF cars must be cautious and
observe the rules of the road and prin-
elples of good driving.
