KEEPING THE MONEY AT HOME

; The Cash Feed Store purchased
this week several loads of field corn
of H. G. Rorabaugh hauled in old
Iowa style, loose in the wagon box.
It took US back to our boy-hood days
in corn husking time, and was as fine
quality of corn as any grown in the
corn states. Mr.. Huff believes in
buying home-products, rather than
shipping it in from Nebraska. When
he buys in Nebraska, Idaho gets the
corn, and Nebraska the money. When
he buys here at home, We have both
corn and the money, too.

these figures the goods will move pref
ty freely. The cigar leaf crops vary
much in quality and desirability. The
price for the real fancy southern has
touched 25 cents.
The Pool officials are working to
line up with the big stemmers a con-
tract to sell all stemming stock con-
trolled by it. This matter has been
hanging fire for several weeks. 1t was
thought at one time that the STEM
ming concerns would endeavor to meet
their needs out of the Pool offerings
as their first move. Subsequent events
have upset these surmises. The stenf-
mers jumped in and took the non
Pool first, and up to the first Of this
week no definite understanding be-
tween the Pool and the stemmers had
been arrived at John Holtan, ware
house director for the Pool, stated last
Monday that he hoped to have the
pending deals closed before Thanks

Smill lots of old tobacco cased by
the growers and held on the owners
premises are found here and there
over the southern growing section.
The buyers are keeping tab of these
lots, but are not rushing the buying.
The farmers have been busy strip
ping whatever quantities of tobacco
were taken down during the past case
weather spells. Not a great deal Of
the crop came down, however.
Quite a number of crops in the bum.
die or packed loose in cases are scat
tered through many sections. The
stemmers are after this goods and of
fer better than 10 cents now going
for new tobacco. It need not be sur.
prise if cleanup of hits tobacco be
attempted at prices satisfactory to the
owners. Scattered holdings of 1918
and succeeding crops Of this kind will
when gathered together represent con-
siderable quantities of leaf.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

The Christmas Seal Campaign is on
The good they do, depends on you.
Through the Christmas seal, mill
lions of people have learned of the
natute and prevention of tuberculosis,
and great many other preventable
diseases. Hundreds of hospitals, elm
les, open air schools, preventoria,
nurses, and other agencies have been
brought into existence to fight tuber-
culosis. Through the Christmas seal
communities have been aroused to
better appreciation Of their individual
and public health; and the nation as a
whole has been stirred to a realiza-
ton of the Importance of tuberculosis
as disease problem.
The money received from the sale
OF Christmas seals goes to the State
Anti tuberculosis Association which
is making very successful fight on
tuberculosis. Their aim is not only to
cure, but to prev ent this disease. Ev-
cry dollar is spent economically. Not
a dollar is wasted. 10000 die annu-
ally of tuberculosis in the United
States. 5000 are children. This dis
ease is not inherited, it is contracted.
In 1908, 2509 died in Wisconsin of tu-
berculosis; in 1921 1900 died; in 1922,
1850 died. This reduction is the work
Of the state Anti tuberculosis Asso-
citation. No cause is more worth. No
money collected is wasted. Every dol
lar is spent in fighting this great
plague, which takes human toll an
nually of more than 10000. Quail
fed doctors and nurses 90 all over the
state and fight this disease, and edu-
cate the people in preventative meas
ures. Don't consider the purchase of
Christmas seal obligatory, but buy
them because in so doing you are do
ing a good turn to hundreds of indi-
viduals less fortunate than you are.
What can signify the spirit of
Christmas more than Health, Joy, and
Good VIII to all men? The little
Christmas seal is true expression of
This Shirt.

MRS. CLAUD LEWIS
BURNED To death

The Censor is called upon to chron-
lcle one Of the most shocking TRACE
dies which has occurred in this COM
munlty IN many years-that of the
burning to death of Mrs Claude Lewis
last Sunday morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis and their two
small children, were former residents
Of Viola and Readstown, coming here
to work on the Hugh Buchanan farm,
and occupying the tenament house
across the road from the Buchanan
home.
The first intimation of the awful
accident came when the Buchanan
children, returning home from Sunday
school, noticed flame and smoke is
suing from the kitchen windows of the
tenament house. The Buchanan fam
lily rushed to the scene to find the in
terror OF the kitchen Quilted by flames
and Mrs. Lewis lying on the floor in an
adjoining room, horribly burned, with
her year-old baby tightly clasped in
her arms.
The unfortunate woman was in the
act OF starting a fire in the kitchen
stove and was pouring kerosine into
the stove when the blaze leaped to
the can and an explosion ensued which
drenched the woman and the kitchen
with blazing oil. She ran from the
room, trying to quench her blazing
clothing, and in her frenzy clasped
the young child in her arms. The in
FAINT was overcome by smoke but re-
vived, but the young mother sustained
such awful burns that although med
ical aid was summoned at once it was
of no avail and she expired Monday
morning. The community's deepest
sympathy goes out to the heart-brok-
en- husband, and the young motherless
children.

BE TOLERANT

Viroqua is now immersed in a de-
cidedly spirited contest as to the To-
cation of the new school building. The
general interest aroused exceeds any
local problem we have been called
upon to solve. Naturally, each voter
has a preference between the east and
the west sites, and some exhibit more
heat in the matter than is really good
for the proper community spirit which
ought to prevail. Regardless of which
site you may prefer, the Censor urges
each voter to remember these flnda-
mental American points of conduct:
Keep in mind that it is your duty to
attend the meeting next Monday even
ing and vote your sincere convictions,
thinking only of the best interests of
our schools. Always keep in mind
that every other person has the same
right to his opinion in the matter as
you have. Grant that every other per-
son is just as sincere in his convict
ion as you are. Don't attribute selfish
motives to the people whose judgment
is different from your own, for they
can with equal grace accuse you of the
same thing-and both of you would
probably be wrong in questioning the
motives of the other. Human being
were not made to agree. People don't
seen things the same way. Probably
the Good Lord knew best when he
made them that way. Be tolerant.
And when the vote is taken and the
location settled, abide by the win of
the majority, sink your differences,
and pull for the good of the school,
remembering that in America the will
of the majority is supreme Let us
collectively and individually see to it
that Viroqua is free from such bitter
controversy as developed, for instance,
in the the West Lima school row
Keep sweet, and after it is over, for
get it.

WIS. TOBACCO NOTES
Edgerton, wis, Nov. "a, 1922

Several have inquired as how to
understand the Pool order Of strip
ping. Some confusion exists in the
minds of many with regard to "fllers"
and BIS and whether the BIS are TO be
separated. Paragraph in the in
structions states that "Fillers shall
include broken leaves and be clean
and free from trash and dead leaves. f"
Crops fit to assert, to be clean and
free of filters, broken leaves, dead
leaves, trash and other damaged
leaves" Filters defined here cover
only the type commonly called farm
ers filters" and do not include BIS.
The BIS are to be stripped in with
the asserting leaf. In "crops fit to
assert" and in "hailcut crops fit TO
assert" the trash is to be elected, the
farmers. filters separated, the rest is
stripped together.
Considerable stemming is picked
by different firms from day to day.
In Rock county south and east of Ed
gerton quite little has changed hands
at prices ranging around the cent
mark All this tobacco Is, of course,
independent crops, and there is quite
liberal field to pick from Some as
sorting tobacco has also been bought
mostly the fancier offerings, and the
prices have held pretty well up to the
pace set at the time the southern cam
paign opened. 0dden & Clauson, Sam
Roun, Joe Berg and others are among
growers who more recently disposed
of very pretty goods.
The Pool contract offering low
grades to stemmers is now formulated
and presented TO the firms interested,
p. Lorillard & Co, Bloch Bros, Scot
ten e. Dillon, Liggett & Myers and
Reynolds. The firms have certain
date limit given within which they
must declare their wants. The con
tract specifies the asking price for
each grade, but it does not make any
distinction between northern low
grades and southern. It is reported
that some of the largest buyers of
1922 have signed contracts to deliver
low grades TO various ones of the
stemming firms.
The tobacco which was taken down
is being stripped, but the amount laid
down in most cases was very conser-
vative.
