STRANGE WELLS IN MINNESOTA.

Some of the wells in the vicinity OF
Winnebago, Mimi, are reported as show
ing slight daily variations in level, the
water frequently standing lowest at
about 10 a. M, when the barometric pres
sure is usually greatest, and highest at
about p. M, when the pressure is likely
to be least; and still greater fluctuations
mark the passage of storms, the water
rising materially with the decrease in
pressure on their approach, and subsid-
ing on the return of fair weather and a
high barometer.
The discharge from flowing wells is
naturally greater when the barometer is
low than when it is high, although the
difference in discharge IS usually so small
that it is unobserved. However, where
the artesian pressure is slight, as it is in
many of the wells of southern Minnesota,
the effect of fluctuations in atmospheric
pressure is frequently apparent, and it
sometimes happens that wen will flow

deep and ending in sandstone, is said to

narily.
On the approach of storms the water
in the wells of southern Minnesota, which
is ordinarily clear. becomes cloudy OF
milky; in others it becomes bright yell
low or deep red. Among those whose
waters become milky before storms are
certain wells, near Lakeville in; Scott
County, and the most pronounced ex-
amples of discoloration are in the vicinity
of Waterville, in lie Sueur County.
The milkiness is due to silt or clay, and
the yellow and red colors to fine PARTICLES
of iron oxide
Similar phenomena have been observed
in the wells in this section of the state,

it opens the question to what extent can
we prepare and what methods would be
best. Can we not do more to avoid
danger Of war without ornaments than
with them? If it were more to the in
terest of foreigns nations to be at peace
than at war with the United States,
would there be any serious danger Of
war? If war would be destructive of adj
vantages offered by the United States
to the world, with profit to itself as well,
would that not be stronger safeguard
than armies or navies? Free trade with
the world and economic justice at home
would establish such conditions. A ma
ton that can and would offer to it's own
people, and to all who would choose to
come, opportunities denied elsewhere,
and which placed no obstacles in the way
of international trade, would not only
ensure prosperity to it's own people but
would be universal benefit which
could not be interfered with without in
juring the world. The danger Of war
in such case, without any army or navy,
would only be imaginable with an igno-
rant nation governed by insane rulers.
But life cannot be prepared against all
possibility and all emergency. That be-
ing the case, would it not be better to
adopt the methods that would make few
and remote the possibilities and emer-
gencies which cannot be guarded against,
than the method urged by The Tribune,
which is just as likely to increase them
and bring them nearer?-1'he Public.

This admiration may carry feeling
of dread, something akin to awe, and
may even increase the hope of her ulti'

rival in field that has made her come

She even seems to have rewrit.

The End Of The World.

Many worthy people there are, in
New Ulm and elsewhere, who see in
the awful cataclysm in Europe the signs
of the approaching end of the world.
If this fear that our insignificant little
planet will be suddenly extinguished
because few misguided fools are scrap
ing over the back yard fence for "place
in the SUM-, will lead people to pay their
debts, start public library, curb their
tendencies toward vicious gossip
and lead better lives, then so much the
better. Let them think it; although
it still remains question whether their
fears will re-echo very far amid the in
finite courts of heaven.
But this fear of the approaching end,
like every dog, has it's day. No mat
ter how absurd theory is, it will find
its followers. People have gotten them
selves ready for the end of the world
ever since the Apostles prophesied
Christ's ''parousia'' or second coming.
Every wandering comet, in sight of this
world, brings to life sects and religions
based on the fear that it will soon be all
over with us.
Is the world really coming to an end?
We doubt it; but if it is to be destroyed
in fireworks and birthstone, we want to
be there and see it. The world comes
to an end every time person dies; and
it ends that way as thoroughly and COM
pletely as if the whole thing were pro-
jected into eternal darkness with the
aid of all the theatrical fireworks which
are usually expected with it's destruction.
Still it is the dream OF many a youngster
that, if the world is really to be destroyed
as if by gigantic submarine, he be given
the privilege of seeing it 60 up in smoke.
What an adventure it would be! How
commonplace by it's side is a motor
cycle accident, or football game!
How small and petty would be all the
infinite worry and gossip of the world
when compared with this one spectacle,
Homeric in it's magnificance, which would
flip us forever into silence! We don't
believe the present war is anything more
than whip used by Providence in right
ing some of the old wrongs of Europe, but
if it presages the end of the world, we
repeat that we want to be there when it
comes!

NEXT YEARS CORN IN GRAVE
DANGER
IF Seed Corn Is Not Picked This Fall
The 1916 Crop Will Be Small.

Grave danger to the 1916 crop lies in
the condition Of corn in Minnesota this
fall. Next years crop will depend in
large measureonthesupply Of good Mimi
esota grown seed corn obtainable this fall
and good Minnesota-grown seed corn is
going to be mighty hard to get From
careful reports received from various
parts of the state, it is certain that gen.
eral heavy frost before September Goth
would easily destroy the seed value OF
most of Minnesota's corn Even if frost
holds off until after that date, the guam
tity of corn that will be available for
seed, will be small for reports indicate
that at best the state will not get more
than half-crop of corn this year. The
same reports show that the amount of
seed corn held over from last year is very
small. It is well known now that it does
not do to 60 to more southern parts of the
corn belt for seed corn, for seed corn from
such areas does not mature early enuf to
escape frosts in Minnesota.
What is to be done then?
Andrew Boss, A. D. Wilson, C.. p.
Bull, and Others at the Minnesota Col
lege of agriculture, who have been study
ing the situation, suggest this:
Search out the most mature acres of
corn on your farm.
Pick a.supply Of seed corn from these
acres the moment the corn is mature enuf,
picking from the standing stalks in the
field.
! Corn is mature enuf for seed when it
has reached the dent stage, though it
is better to let it ripen beyond this stage
# possible. But if it has reached this
stage and frost threatens, TAKE NO
CHANCES BUT PICK SEED CORN!
4 If you have no corn far enuf along fol
seed, and some other farmer in. the vi
cinity has, buy the privilege Of picking
seed corn in his field at fair price pei
4 bushel. It will cost less to do that than
to buy seed corn Of doubtful worth
next spring.

have met the trying conditions this year

MUST BE. MORE PARTICULAR

The supreme court affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court recently in the
case of Mrs Oma L. Walker VS.. DR.. ].
S. Holbrook. This case was originally
brought in the district court Of this coun-
ty, when the jury returned a verdict in
favor Of the plaintiff in the sum of 81 900.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court by the defendant hut that body
sustained the decision Of the lower court.
The action grew out of the fact that
on Nov. s, 1912 Mrs. Walker submitted
to an operation which was performed
by the late DR.. Bjelland, assisted by DR..
J. S. Holbrook. The complaint alleged
that a piece of gauze which had been
used to absorb the blood when the in
cision was made to perform the operation,
was sewed up in the wound. Mrs.
Walker continued to be sick, suffering
from running sore until Nov. 5, 1913,
when she had to submit to another op-
Grafton for the removal Of the piece OF
cloth. Meantime, DR.. Bjelland died.
and the action was brought against DR.
Holbrook. DR.. Holbrook claimed that
he was not responsible for the operation
owing to the fact that Mrs. Walker had
employed DR.. Bjelland and not him tt
1 perform the operation. The jury, how
ever, found a verdict for the plaintiff il
the sum Of $1,000, and the supreme court
affirmed the lower court. M ankato Re

Pastoral Can Be Read
in Belgian Churches

Amsterdam, via London. Jan. 1S.-
The Echo Beige says that General Won
Bissing, general of the Bel
gian territory occupied by the Ger
mans. has issued the following proola-
nation at Brussels:
THE governor general declares Off
cially that the assertion concerning the
arrest of Cardinal Mercier is totally
unfounded. The German authorities
never dreamed of interfering with the
liberty of a prince of the church in the
exercise of his ecclesiastical functions.
His pastoral, however, contained pas
sages which were injurious to Ger
many and which consequently could
not be overlooked by the German au-
thorities.
Nevertheless. out of respect to the
sacredness of his place and in order
not to offend the sentiments of the
faithful we have not prohibited the
reading of the pastoral in the
churches. The governor-general linn
tied himself to taking police measures
demanded by the situation"
