Young Ship, Young Officers,
For Young America

First of all it is ship manned bv tho
young for the young. The captain himself is
but little over forty, the chief officer something
under, and the chief engineer, who was with
the President Harding when she was n,eralv

on her maiden trip and has been with her ever
since is younger still. They are typical sea-
men; but they are young, the oldest of them
the captain; the youngest boys were not
even in the navy during the war Most of
them were, however, some on the Leviathan,
or one of the other German ships, and they are
all members of the naval reserve The chief
steward, Billy Linn, for instance, at twenty
eight was chief steward of the Leviathan.

young America ne has gone the ships of the
older nations one better by proving that it is
possible to be as busy and active on board shin
as 1t is aS Long Island country club. After
you have seen what he has done you wonder no
one ever thought of it before. but, aaoat as
ashore, it Is always the obvious that is over
looked.
Every ship has shufheboard, quoits and the

That Is the frame Of mind with which one
went to bed at night; but it was a frame of
mind hard to retain the next morning when
there was nothing on the horizon but ripping
waves and the air from the south blew warm
against our faces. laughing group of young
people on deck made that attitude of the pre-
vlous night seem childish, and gradually it be-
came clear why it is impossible to remain in
that state Of mind very long on the President
Harding.

Hard indeed to believe that crowd of one

Americans could consume only 1925 worth Of
liquor in twenty-four hours, but there it was in

records of the deck steward for the same date:

: : mn MARKETING

At the meeting of the State Tobac-
co Pool at Madison last week Director
Selmer Neprud was selected to go to
Washington as the Wisconsin dele
gate to the big cooperative marketing
convention now in session at the ma
tional capital. The purpose of the
convention is to weld into one unit
the various cooperative movements
of the nation. The cotton growers of
the south, the different tobacco pools,
the California Fruit Growers Asso-
Citations, etc., are all represented there
Legal counsel will be engaged to joint
" represent all of the United States
cooperative associations and arrange
ments will be made concerning the
securing of foreign markets for the
surplus crops of the associations. A
general marketing program will be
mapped out, and the question of mar
keting at least expense from the pro-
Queer to the manufacturer or consum-
er will be discussed at length. The
elimination of that class of middle
men who stand between the grower
and the manufacturer and consumer
is the big problem before the conven-
ton.
ITtSlutHt Dl1SudHi VI tilc hciktuShy
Burnley Tobacco Pool will probably
preside over the convention. Cooper
alive marketing is sweeping the ma
ton and all fair minded men are COM
ing to recognize that the farmer will
never enjoy the prosperity to which
he is rightfully entitled until every
product which he produces in handled
comparatively. This does not mean
the farmer contemplates going into
the manufacturing of his products
that is the work Of men trained in
these lines-but it does mean that he
wishes to control the marketing of his
product and keep his finger on it from
the time it leaves his farm until it is
in the hands of the manufacturer. He
will get more for his product, and the
ultimate consumer should pay less
when it gets to him, if the cooperative
plan is properly followed out.

EAST SITE AGAIN
SELECTED BY 1856

Although Monday evening was the
coolest so far this winter, with a Bit
ing gale blowing out of the northwest
it in no manner dimmed the ardor of
the electors of Viroqua Joint school
district, who gathered at the High
School auditorium nearly eight hum
bred strong for the one purpose of
expressing their preference as to
where the fine new $150,000 high
school building and gymnasium should
be located.
1t is indeed gratifying that the turn
out was so large. The district pro-
baby viii muster about 1900 voters
and a two-thirds vote is far more than
is ordinarily gotten out in even the
hottest of political campaigns, so no
one can truthfully claim that the meet
ing Monday night was not thoroughly
representative. 1t was also a great
relief to most Of those present that
no time was lost in debate or heated
discussion of the merits of the two
sites The amount of work done by
the champions of both sites previous
to the meeting was amply sufficient
to put every voter in possession of the
pros and cons of the question, and all
present had their minds fully made
up as to how they desired to vote.
The question came to a vote with
out delay, the voting being by printed
ballot which tended TO hasten the vot-
ing and eliminate mistakes. At the
close of the count, Chairman Proctor
announced that the vote stood 301 for
the west site and AIT against the west
site-a majority of 1S6 in favor of
the East site which was selected at
the first special meeting. Not only
was the majority larger at the second
meeting, but the percentage in favor
of the east site was considerably larg-
er. Majority rule is the fundamental
keystone in American government,
and when the will of the majority has
twice been clearly expressed, as in
this case, it is the duty of every good
citizen to lay aside their differences
and place no distractions in the way
of executing the will of the majority.
The Censor trusts that the school mat
ter has been definitely settled and that
all of our citizens viii put a united
shoulder to the wheel and build that
urgently needed school. With our
kindergarten quartered in the Congre-
gational church, and our grades and
high school fairly bursting the walls
of their respective quarters, it is high
time that adequate quarters be speed
lily provided for our overcrowded and
rapidly growing schools.

BAPTIE HURT in FREAK
AUTO ACCIDENT

Gloom pervaded the city Monday
evening when the news went from
lip to lip that Loren Baptie, genial and
poppy Ford dealer, had been very
badly injured in an automobile acei-
dent. As is usual in such cases, we
are happy to report that the first ae-
count was exaggerated, and that Bap-
tie is in the land of the living by a
good margin and it is believed he will
fully recover without any complica-
tions.
The accident was one of the most
freakish ever recorded in these parts.
Baptie had left his Ford coupe at the
top of the Hogback hill and was at
tempting to push a stalled truck up
the grade. The emergency brake on
his car failed to hold and the car came
down the Hill without a pilot. Ii
whizzed past the truck, then skidded,
and the back end struck Baptie and
knocked him into the ditch, ard added
Insult to injury by climbing right in
after him and walking up and down
his PROSTATE frame. Baptie did not
even know he was hit by his own car,
and as he executed double somer-
sault through the air, distinctly re-
members saying some things about
the carelessness of driver who would
hit him from behind that did not even
remotely resemble the Lords prayer.
He was hurried into town where it
was found that he had sustained a
slight fracture Of the base of the skull.
and badly scratched and cut face,
one cut coming within the thickness
Of sheet of paper of his eyeball.
He suffered unite a loss of blood and
things certainly did not look promis-
ing for his recovery, but Baptie is
product of the wild and woody west,
his early training consisting of teach
ing good manners to unruly MAYER
licks and bronchos, and it takes more
than Lizzy to get his goat. He will
be forced TO remain in bed week or
ten days, and viii be on deck at the
Ford garage in couple of weeks.
We're all glad it was no worse. old

POOL Low GRADES

The Northern Wisconsin Tobacco
Pool pulled across a big deal last week
at Madison when 2o,000,000 pounds
of the pools holdings of low grades,
hail cut, and warehouse rags were
sold at $2,000,000. This tobacco was
sold on percentage basis, at 10 cents
per pound Just how efficiently the
pool is working to protect the grower
and get him a higher return for his
tobacco can best be realized from the
fact that before the pool through its
influence established the price at 10c,
nearly half the crop of low grade to-
baeco in Wisconsin was sold at &c per
pound.

NEWTON STORE IS ROBBED

During the early hours of Monday
morning, the store of Thomas Pc
burglars and quite quantity of mer-
chandise was made way with. The
robbers drove up in a car and at
tempted to enter through the front
door. Failing in this because of a
heavy bolt on the inside of the door,
entrance was gained through base
ment window. All of the better grade
of cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, pipes,
mittens, overalls and considerable light
merchandise was lifted. Just how
much the value Of the stolen merchan-
disc will amount to is not known.
Friend Tom carried no insurance, and
friends and neighbors sympathize with
him in his loss.
