Kansas Is In an awful stew over
a fear that an early frost will dam
age the corn crop, and a further
fact that If the frost does not come
soon the crop will be so large that
there will be no way of harvesting
1t. That's the way with too many
people-they worry when there Is
something to worry about, and
when there isn't they worry be-
cause there Is not.

placed a thermometer on the west side
of building, exposed to the full sweep
of the northwest wind, another on the
east side protected from the wind they
registered exactly the same.
In using a thermometer out of doors
the important thing to guard against is
radiation of heat from surrounding OBJ
jects. Any object warmer than its sur
roundings radiates its heat. An easy IL
lustration is this. Near Weeds drug
store hangs thermometer. At 10
o'clock a. M, it is in the shade. But the
sun shines on and heats the street in
front and the buildings across the way.
That heat is radiated, and the thermom-
eter gives higher readings than it would
were a screen placed in front of it. So
far as getting the true temperature of
the atmosphere is concerned the instru.
ment might as well be placed by an oven.
At the United States observatories two
sets of screens are placed around each
thermometer.
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding ev-
cry mans thermometer is right and he
knows it.

MCCONNELL LIKES IT.
He Will Purchase One of Those Iowa
Miikirq Machines.

From Tuesdays Daily.
W. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and food
commissioner, has decided to purchase
for experimental purposes patent
milking machine operated by gasoline
engine and capable of doing the work of
six dairy maids. Mr.. Mcconnell returned
yesterday from Iowa, where he inspected
the machine.
The machine consists of long pipe
running along the manger of the sta
BILE above the heads of six cows. This
pipe is connected with an air pump oper-
ated by a gasoline engine. In each stall
two tubes lead from the main pipe, one
to the cow and the other to the milk
pail. The pump operated by the en-
CINE creates a vacuum in the tubes lead
ing to the milk pals and thus causes
the milk to flow.
One man can operate a machine at
tached to six cows, and two men can
thus milk twelve COWS. All the attend
ant has to do is to attach the tubes to
the cows udder, regulate the gasoline
engine and watch the pals.

Civic Improvement League Discusses
Matters OF Interest.

Matters OF Interest.
From Tuesdays Daily.
The Civic Improvement league held a
meeting of officers and directors at the
home of the president, Mrs. John Ray,
last night. The meeting was small
owing to the cold weather and the preva-
lence of grip, but several matters of
interest were discussed and acted upon.
1t was voted to maintain member
ship in the national organization of
improvement leagues.
Resolutions were adopted favoring the
purchase by the city of the vacated
railroad land on Fourth street for a
park.
The subject of maintaining a "rest
room" for farmers wives driving in from
the country, was discussed. It was
thought to be very desirable thing, and
the subject was referred to a COM
mittee for Investigation.
The committee appointed to ask the
various companies owning poles in the
city to paint them, had met with a
favorable response in every case.
The request to the council to flood
various ponds and vacant lots, had been
acceded to, and places for skating thus
provided.

a little might be done toward the health
of the pupils.
DR.. Davis moved that the matter be re-
ferred to the committee on schools and
text books to report at the next regu-
lar meeting on the advisability of the
proposition.
President Hughes said that the doc
tors of the city are taking quite an in
terest in stopping contagious diseases
before they have gotten beyond con-
troll. The schools are the most likely
places for the spreading of diseases and
the doctors want the board to assist
them. The mater of proper quarantine
and when pupils shall be admitted into
school again after being sick are matters
to be considered.
Mrs. Smith said that every year the
schools have labored under difficulties
on account of contagious diseases, and
she knew it to be fact that last year
child had been admitted to the school
three days after an attack of the
measles. The attendance had been large
ly reduced on occount OF such things.
Mr.. Uline said that the committee
might also consider what shall be done
with detectives and imbeciles, dozen
of whom are in the schools. 1t would be
for the best interests OF the schools if
they were withdrawn, as one of these
sets whole room back.
DR.. Davis motion was carried.
The bills were allowed except that of
w. E. Stewart for wood, which was laid
on the table until the contract shall
have been fulfilled, as it was stated that
a year ago he failed to complete his con-
tract and the board had to pay other
people more for wood that he failed to
deliver.
Capt. Keysor said that he thought
that Mr.. Stewart would deliver the bal
ance of the wood this week.
The board adjourned.

President Mowbray's annual address

practical pointers for its further prog
ress.
Secretary Morley of Owatonna and

proved by the convention.
Mr.. L. A. Sweet of Fairmont, than
whom there are few better posted dairy
men in the state, talked to the conven-

Sweet always gives a good talk on any
subject connected with his favorite hob
by, the dairy industry.
Other matters of interest and bust
ness details came before the body.

LOST HIS ARM.
David ]. Severance the --latest Victim
OF The Cora Shredder.

David ]. Severance the --latest Victim
of the Cora Shredder.
From Tuesdays Daily.
David j. Severance, the well known
thresher and farmer of Belgrade town
ship, met with terrible accident about
ten o'clock this morning while shredding
corn at the home of W. Hodapp in North
Mankato. 1t was the old story over
again. His right hand was drawn into
the shredder by means of his glove,
which caught in the machinery, and the
entire forearm was so frightfully crush
ed and mangled as to render amputa-
ton at the elbow necessary. The opera
tion was performed by three physicians.
Mr.. Severance was then removed to
the hospital, where he will have to stay
several days.
The past year seems to have been pc
culiarly unfortunate one for Mr.. Sever
ance. All through the threshing sea-
son he had continual trouble with mali
cious and jealous parties, who put pieces
of iron into the stacks he threshed for
the purpose of damaging or running his
machinery. The tricks cost him con-
siderable money.
Mr. Severance has a wife and two
children living out on his farm in Bel
grade township.

cur. Tie Blue Earth County society
said th.t it had adopted this resolution
and had pledged its support toward
bringing about the improved condition
that the resolution contemplated.
On motion OF Mr.. Comstock, this
matter was made a special order for
the next regular meeting.
Capt. Keysor reported for the COM
mittee on property and expense, that
the board had authorized the making
of repairs during the past year amount
ing, it was estimated, to $l,3S0.7S.
These repairs had been made at an ex-
pense of $l,l06l6. Additional repairs

Repairs to high school boiler, $3.50; curb
and gutter at Union school grounds,
Sl3S; new door at Franklin building,
$40; yard sprinkled at West Mankato
building, $3.50. These items had brought
the total cost up to something over ST.
$50.
Capt. Keysor recommended that dur
ing the holiday vacation a cement block
floor be laid in the boys closet in the
high school building, and that the doors
be removed from the stalls, as the Stats
are broken by the boys. 1t had been
found necessary to take these doors off
In the other buildings. The floor will
cost $50. He recommended that the re-
painting, recalcimining, etc., be left un-
til the spring vacation. Minor repairs
in the girls closet were also recommend
ed.
On motion of Mr. Comstock, the report
was adopted, and the committee was in
structed to make the repairs recommend

Nationality IN Industries.

The current report of the Massa-
chusetts bureau of statistics of labor
is peculiarly interesting as showing
the proportion Of different nationali.
tief In the various industries of that
state. In general iway the chief OF
the bureau says that ''the strong in.
dustrial condition in Massachusetts
has been secured and is held not by
the labor of what is called the native
stock but by that of immigrants of all
chimes, who have left their native
cline to seek here opportunities fol
financial advancement and political
and religious liberty" This is shown
by the fact thatin thirty-five occupa,
tions tho native element predominates
in but eleven, while those of foreign
birth fill the remaining twenty-four.
1t is only In the professions, art, musit',
amusements, education, and In trade,
which includes merchants, statesmen
and wnmen, and accountants, thar
the native stock cuts any figure.
