the southern part Of our continent,
and it passes over Canada and does
not produce drop in the tempera-
ture to any marked degree.
All the Autumn rainy periods have
been followed by south winds, and
no severe changes have been noted.
Temperatures in the far north are
not as low as usual in the Autumn
months when we are going to have
a mild Winter, and records show it
was very mild north the past Au-
tumn.
Rats and mice are not seeking
Winter quarters, and squirrels have
not been observed storing away a
large quantity Of nuts for their Win
ter consumption. The nut crop was
large, but when this occurs the wild
game usually let their food remain
out in the open, but when nuts are
scarce the little animals are always
very busy storing away all they can
find.
A judicious and thoughtful observ-
er can see many reasons why this
will not be a severe Winter. No
study is more interesting, and it &C.
tually pays to carefully study the
causes and effect in all such matters.
If understood, nature is an open
book.-New York American.

Big Engine is Wrecked.

Benson Review: Last Thursday eve
ming at about six o'clock the large Ideal
engine at the light plant was put en-
tirely out of commission and another
engine will have to be purchased to re-
place it. Carl Knutson was on duty
when the engine began to pound" and
while he was attempting to get the 9TH
err engine going an explosion took place
entirely wrecking the big engine. 1t
seems that a bolt became loose in the
box connecting the crank shaft and the
connecting rod and the other bolts were
broken and twisted off. The end Of the
cylinder blew out and wrecked the ma
chine. Messrs. Johnson, Coles, Carlson
and Lee went to Morris yesterday tc
the object in view Of buying it if II
proved to be what is wanted. It seems
that the water and light commission
favor a Corliss and in all likelihood ar
engine of that kind will be purchased

New York, Jan. s-The first demon.

phone will be given in New York within
4 a few weeks. The ,kinetephone is a talk.
ing machine that works in harmony
with moving pictures. 1T Is to be used
to. add the realism Of the voice OF the
actor to the scene thrown upon the can.
WAS " tazs$Et<s -
Within a short time, at is predicted
Broadway productions will be playing
In mining camps Of the West. Great
musical comedies will be caught by the
machine, and while the music Is being
rendered the action Of the comedy will
go on before the audience. Mr. Edison
mas not saiI SO, but his; friends say he
thinks it only a question Of time before
the. best actors in America will be per-
forming their best roles before the cam
era and the kinetephone. = r l.~ss.
| !. MACHINE is FOOL PROOF."aSs-.
After four years Of the hardest kind
of work Mr.. Edison has perfected the
machine so that it is what he refers
to as fool proof" :
In June of last year the inventor told
of his theatre in the Bronx which with
politan opera house, where actors were
playing and where records were being
made. He predicted then that every
thing would be ready within a few
months, but while the plan was sue
cess artistically it was not perfect.
Since then the work has been going on
smoothing out the rough points until it
is said any play or opera may be pro-
duced.
For tests in New York the operas of
| Faust and II Trovatore are to be given
The reels are ready and the records of
the singers have been made
For purposes Of illusion one machine
is to be in the balcony Of the theatre
fand one back of the scenes. The one in
the balcony throws the picture of ac-
tors and scenery upon the screen, while
the kinetephone, run by second oper-
ator, will be worked just back of the
screen.
At present it is necessary to change
reels every six minutes, but this, it is
said, can be obviated so that the enter
tainment will not be broken up
GREAT PLAYS TO BE CANNED"
The recent entrance in the motion
picture field Of artists like Sara Bern
hardt, Nazimova, Maude Adams and 9TH
ers, it is believed will lead to the great
er use Of the moving pictures.
1t is considered certain that with such
artists as these and other players Of
note appearing before the camera there
will go also the recording of their
speech, SO that the greatest plays will
soon be canned" not only for this gen.
GRAFTON of play goers everywhere, but
the great ACTORS and singers of today
will be handed down to future genera
tons, not only in face and gesture, but
in voice.
The intention Of the inventor is not
to sell any of the machines, but to
lease them. In this way, it is said, the
actor who has made a great success in
part may have himself pictured and
send the films on tour through the small
towns where he has been heard of but
never seen.-Minneapolis Tribune

Stock Means Cash.

During year 1912 o. A. Nybakke ship
ped total Of 81 carloads of stock from
this station to the South st. Paul mar
ket. He tells us the other buyers have
shipped about the same amount, max
ing total for the year about 100 cars.
What Mr.. Nybakke bought he paid an
average of $1,000 per car for and fig
uring that other buyers paid like
amount means that 100000 was receiv-
ed by the farmers of this locality dur
ing year from the several stock buyers
Adding to this what was received by
farmers who shipped their own stock
would bring the figures up to a very
respectable amount and indicates that
stock raising is one Of the leading pur.

Progress Of the Press.

(Joe Brynildsen in Candy News)
One of the most encouraging signs Of
the times for the country press is it's
gradual separation from political bond
age as well as from local factional pre-
JUDGES and entanglements. The past
history of many country newspapers has
been one of many trials and tribulations
while tied to some local cliques or un-
der political bondage to the various
leaders of the district, state or nation
Editorial and news matter has been
written and printed with sole view
to the interests of their special favor
ties, instead Of the general public, as it
should be, and as a result the public in
general has been misled and misinform-
ed on most every subject imaginable I'M
til the daily press has become an object
of suspicion and the country press one
Of ridicule and disgust by every thinker
on the farm. Happily, this condition
has been largely changed within the
past year, and those who followed the
drift of the last campaign are beginning
to see that at least a few Of the country
papers are something more than joke,
that they stand, for some definite prin-
ciple which they honestly believe to be
of more or less public concern and well
fare. The time is rapidly passing by
when printer can get a partly printed
sheet in the large cities, print few per-
sonals and patent medicine and liquor
advertisements on the other side and
call it newspaper, for the thinking
man is bound to figure it out that such
a sheet has none but sinister mission
locally, 70 c+r
ton Of this new development among
country readers, backed up by sensible
business men of the city, the Ortonville
Herald Star and the Big Stone County
Journal have just been merged into one
paper and will hereafter appear as the
Ortonville Journal. Ortonville is city
somewhat larger than Candy, is the
county seat, and there have been two or
three papers published there upwards
of forty years with a seemingly pro-
f1table field until now. With this change
will come an ideal newspaper that will
be a credit to the community it will re-
present, without coloring or prejudices
other than the public veal. The News
takes pleasure in congratulating the
newspaper boys and citizens of Orion
Vile on this sensible plan and progress
i've movement for the betterment of
country journalism. It is sample of
what should be patterned after at Mon
tevideo, Granite Falls and many other
towns in Minnesota. AS to the future
Of the country press, as already indi-
Gated, there is no reason for partisan
ship in politics, and there should be no
room for any as the exponent Of any
political cliOue or religions creed : 1t
should stand for the good of the COM
munity, state and nation upon all ques-
lions, as an exponent of progress and
education for the masses, and without
prejudice for the classes. That is prob
ably the opinion of large majority of
readers, and it is high time that news
paper men and merchants took the same
view Of the question. - =

Finds Legislators 1ayoxablo.ss

Il Z
The Field Secretary Of the State Tu-

In his report to the Executive Cons

been carried on since Sept goth, he

there was a disposition not to insist on
this position but to co1cede that the
Commission which had studied the sit
uation carefully is In the best position
to know what is; the best plan. for Min
nesOta. . 3 -ss.Sss @ = r. /.
Many Of the County Commissioners
were, interviewed and it was gratifying
to find that they were generally anxious
! to have the legislation enacted so that
! they could be enabled to provide instt-
| tutions near the homes, Of the people
without the county bearing the whole
| burden of construction and maintenance
Many of these officials have found the
caring for the tuberculous in aims hous-
es and by other wrong means, very un-
satisfactory, so they welcome the oppor-
tunity to care for them in the right way
in order to give them a chance to re-
cover, but more important from the
point Of view of the community, to pre-
vent the advanced cases from spread
ing the diseases to others.
Physicians, newspaper men and other
prominent citizens, many Of whom were
interviewed, were almost unanimously
in favor of advanced anti-tuberculosis
legislation. They were especially pleas
ed with the prospect of having con-
sumptives cared for, even tho many of
them are unable to pay for the treat
ment.
The results of the educational work
which has been carried on during the
past four years by the State Board of
Health and the State tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION is plainly evident in the en-
lightened public opinion regarding tu-
berculosis.
