UNIVERSITY OF PENNsYLvANIA

of Figure l. Fve-sixth of the light or this bright sun is cut off every third day by the interposition between it and us or second sun which is darker than Algol itself though far brighter than our own sun. This eclipse will be greatest on October l at Il p, m. eastern stand ard time on October at hours AS minutes p. m., and every two days 20 hours 4S minutes thereafter. The ob- server will note that the darkening is quite gradual phenomenon; the light of Algol is not suddenly cut off, but the time from when the darkening begins until it is the greatest is between three and four hours. This represents the time occupied by the disc of the fainter star in moving from the edge to a central position on the disc of the brighter star. The method of making the observation is hence to look at the star at intervals of half an hour or more, when the change or brightness will be very striking.

THE HUNTERS MOON

The full moon which occurs nearest the time of the autumnal equinox is known as the harvest moon: the next full moon after the harvest moon is called the hunters moon and these two full moons of the year have attracted attention from the earliest times This IS because at this time of the year there IS very unusual amount of moon light. The nearly full moon rises but a few minutes later on each successive eve- ming for nearly week, and it remains in the heavens all night long, not setting until but little before or until Some- time after sunrise the next morning. The effect is especially noticeable in higher attitudes, such as those of England and Scotland. and early agricultural peoples did not doubt that this was special arrangement of Providence to enable them to work many or all of the hours Of night in the harvest fields.
 The explanation of these two full moons is simple one. The reader will re- member that the full moon is always opposite to the sun in the sky, so that when the sun is crossing the equator at the autumnal equinox and moving downward among the stars, the full moon is crossing the equator at the vernal equinox and moving very rapidly up ward Although it requires three months
 
 to it's solstice, the moon occupies but single week in moving from the equator to the solstice of the moon. Thus each night during this week it is far higher above the equator than 1t was on the evening before. This northward motion causes the moon to rise each evening much farther toward the north of the east point of the horizon and lengthens the moon day. It thus partly neutralizes the "retardation' of the time Of moon rise. which is on the average about 5l minutes later on each successive day. At the time of the vernal equinox the sun is moving upward among the stars but the full moon is moving rapidly downward The retardation is then in- creased, so that at this time of the year we in the northern hemisphere have an unusually small amount of moon light.
 A full moon occurs this year on Sep tember 20, only threes days before the time of the hutumnal equinox. This is. therefore, the harvest moon. and the full moon of a month later October 19. is the hunters moon. At the latter time the retardation will be but half an hour in the United States, while it will di- minish to but about 10 minutes to ob- servers on the earth 60 degrees above the earths equator.

HAVE The BINDER READY
State Safety Commission Appeals to
Grain Raisers


Grain Raisers.
Harvest time is soon at hand. Every
grain of wheat now growing should
be saved for food Therefore every
farmer with a field of wheat should
take to heart these nine succinct bits
of advice by the, State Safety COM
mission.
One. Remember that grain cannot
be cut with worn or broken sickle.
Two. Order repairs before harv-
iest time-it saves time and money.
Three. Do not attempt to run the
binder with badly worn and torn can
vases.
Four. Do not give the machine
an oil bath at the beginning of the
season and expect that to be sufficient.
Five. Oil all bearings frequently,
using little oil each time.
Six. Protect your machine from
the weather, it will work better and
last longer
Seven. Keep the tool box equipped
for making emergency repairs.
Eight. Get an instruction book on
your binder from the manufacturer
and study it.
Nine. Test the machine in the field
before the harvest crew is assembled.
Every binder that breaks down on
the job is a Stacker, and this is no
year for slackers, mechanical or hu-
man.

Mapleton

Mapleton is certainly enjoying one
of the best chautauquas it has ever
entertained. Every number is a
winner. The talk Saturday afternoon
by soldier from the front was in
tensely interesting. He told of life
in the trenches, going over the top,
I'being buried alive and also what he
had seen of the brutality and out
RACES committed by the enemy. The
evening entertainment by Alton
Packard was the best ever given
here. Cartoons, songs and sketches
followed in quick succession. The
Sunday afternoon program given by
the Rumania orchestra was all that
1t was recommended. Artistic, patriot
tic, each Soloist of merit They
also gave the prelude to the evening
lecture by Opie Read whose sub
ject. Grains of Sand" was up to the
minute, showing how a very small
circumstance might be the turning
point in ones life. His picture of the
kaiser was unique but true to life.
Even the NOnpartisans came in for
a humorous remark Unseen Forces
by Judge Manford Schoonover Mon
day afternoon. The Immortal picture,
The Melting Pot is billed for Monday
night. Tuesday is the last day and
will be occupied by the White HUI
Ears. The lecture to be given by E.
I. Austin is on the subject of "The
Mental Machine in Action" The large
tent is filed at each program in
spite of the heat or mosquitoes.
Miss Hazel Johnson, Florence
Lang and Irene Church went to Man
kato to- attend summer school.
Reuben Dietz has given UP the idea
of being a soldier and will attend
summer school at Mankato.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Mckay of
Bass Lake attended the old settlers
meeting Tuesday and shook hands
with many old friends. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckay came to this section year
later than the early colony and have
endured the privations of the past.
Young people now deplore the fact
OF having to use corn -four but in
those days many times the corn
was ground in coffee or feed mill
and the johnny cake made without
eggs or shortening and they were glad
to get it. 1t was no uncommon thing
to see red face at the window and
to have an Indian walk into the door
without knocking. Often the women
were left alone in the log cabin with
the children while the men folks went
to Owatonna for supplies. Wheat flour
could not be had many times no mat
ter how much gold man had and vet
those people lived and thrived and
were happy. Later the settlers be-
tween here and Minnesota Lake were
obliged to go to the big woods near
MankatO for wood and several teams
would go at one time, taking two or
three days for the trip. They would
bring also supply of groceries. The
old Commercial house and Minnesota
house were then the popular stopping
places in Mankato.
Miss Letha Cooper of Minneapolis
came down for the picnic returning to
the city Wednesday.
Mr.. Hemingway of Vernon was
another old settler present at the
Tuesday picnic.
Charles Bomberger who has enlist
ed in the radio department of the
navy, returned to the city after
spending Sunday at home.
