Almanacs.


The history Of almanacs goes back
to very ancient times The Greeks
of Alexandria certainly had them, al
though the date Of their first appear.
anoe in Europe is not known with GER
tainty. In the British museum there
are specicens of manuscript almanacs
dating from the thirteenth and
the fourteenth centuries, but
the first printed European ali
manac that anything is know about
was compiled by the astronomer Pur-
bach, and appeared some time be-
tween the year 1850 and 1851. It was
however. Purbach's pupil Regiomon.
tanus who brought out the first alma
mac OF real Importance. It gave the
usual astronomical information not
merely for one year ahead, but for, the
81 years 1475-1531. Regiomontanus

John Miller), besides being great
astronomer was bishop.

James E.. Child of Waseca,
whose hair has whitened in the
cause of advancing the material
interests of Waseca, recently re-
signed the presidency of the
leading bank of that town be-
cause some of the directors wLo
happen to control the stock of
the concern, attempted to die

run his paper. Mr.. Child was
right; no self-respecting publish

outsider to tell him how to run

President Taft has rendered a
decision in the Northern Mime
sofa liquor cases, the gist of
which is that the lid" will not
be in evidence hereafter except
on the Indian reservations. This
is as it should be. The govern
menr evidently went farther
than it should in closing the sa-
looms in territory outside of the
reservations. The regulation Of
the traffic in the latter localities
is properly the duty of the state

a Gle dstonc Story.


Mr.. E. T. Benson. in an article on
the winter charms of Grindelwald in
Travel and Exploration" related an
anecdote of Mr.. Gladstone. It seems
that at a country house one morning
the guests were discussing at break
fast the right way OF packing a
sponge-bag, when the sponge has been
used and is consequently water
logged. Mr.. Gladstone. who had APP
parently been solely absorbed by his
mornings correspondence. suddenly
closed the discussion by informing the
party that they we're all wrong. The
only proper method is to wrap 1t up
in Your bath-towel. and stamp upon
it. Then put it in your sponge-bag

SUCCESSFUL COOPERATION

The farmers who make up the pro-

little crossroads village OF Scandal.
in Washington county, Mimi. afford
such an example of successful COOP

enterprise. as may well be held up
for emulation by farmers all over the
state.
First-They have cooperative
creamery, the business of which has
steadily grown, from its first estab
lishment, in 1891, until it now reaches
$4,000 annually. with Prospect of a
further Increase with each successive
year.
Second-They have a cooperative
store, in building which cost them
$4,000. and which carries an $4,000
stock of goods.
Third-They have built co-opera-
tive telephone line at cost of $4,000.
Fourth-They have pooled" their
religious preferences. along with their
money, and erected fine church edi
flee costing 100000; where other
places, without the spirit of Christian
cooperation, have five or six inferior
buildings and supporter rather.

Fifth-The young people. cooper

being also used for school purposes.
Sixth-They have united in Farm

one kind of potatoes. and in market
ing the same in carload lots. BY
this plan their potatoes bring them
10 cents a bushel more than In the
home market. When forced by the
scarcity of feed to buy hay. the mem
bers of the club employed purchas-
ing agent; and. by pooling their or
ders, they got hayl$2 a ton cheaper.
The results of this happy spirit of
cooperation are seen in prosperous
farmsteads on every hand; cheer
full. aspiring population. and an ad-
vance in land values to s75 and $50
per acre and upwards; while in other
places with even better soil and a
larger population, land can be had for
about half those figures
The over-intense individualism
which has been SO marked a feature
of American life. has proved, in the out
c1me, detrimental to the best interest
of the farm. and destructive to the
ideals of democracy. Cooperation.
which blends individual energies in
an effort for the general good. restores
those ideals; and at the same time 1t
demonstrates that the best advance

endeavor to uplift others along with

ORIGINAL RINGLING SHOW.
Yankee Robinson Made the Present
Rinplinc Sh ow

Ringing Show.
The Ringling Bros, in All interview
in New York in April of this year,
made the statement that they owed
their success to the great est of ali
showmen, Yankee Robinson. For two
seasons the Rim glings show endeavor-
ed to pilot their show on the sea of cir
cusdm, but met with disaster each
time and wended their way back to
Baraboo. Finally Yankee Robinson
took the then young Ringlings Bro s.,
up and with the Yankee Robinson &
Ringling Bros Show made a success.
This continued for some time, finally
Yankee Robinson and the Ringlings
separated. Today these two man.
moth shows continue to rule the world
of circusdom, and each one is credited,
with having the best circus perform
ance and mensgerie carried with te MT
ed organizations. Both show are still
on friendly terms, each one contented
with the territory allotted them each
season. The only possible friction
between the to big shows is during the
winter months when some big foreign
act is desired by each show. The
Yankee Robinson Shows has the Ring
lings bested in this regard, having
formed an alliance with the grea
vaudeville interests of the country ant
] having the only hi, h-class vaudevill,
house operated on the big vaudeville
circuit. However. the early friend
ship of these two shows is so stroni
that Ringlings are loaned many fea
lures not desired by the Yankee Robil
son Robinson Shows; for instance, tn
Peatty troupe, now the big feature o
the Ringlin show, was exhibited b.

ee Robinson Shows two seasons prio
