NEWSPAPER HAD SHORT LIFE
"PubIick Occurrences" in 1890, Got
Out One Issue, and Then the Au-
thorities Suppressed 1t.

Americas first newspaper, the Bos-
ton Newsletter, first published in
1904, on exhibition at the Massachu-
setts Historical society, marked the
beginning of continuous journalism in
the British colonies. Until 1704 the
nearest approach to newspaper in
the everyday life8of tlfe colonies was
the manuscript newsletter" which
was usually addlessed by the writer
to governor or a leading clergyman,
and was presumably shown around
and the news" further circulated by
word of mouth.
An earlier effort than thnt of the
Boston Newsletter to publish a news
paper in the colonies is on record in
the attempt to publish Publick Occur
rences, in 169o.s rtrhe Introductory
paragraph announced that "it is de
signed that the eountrey shall be fur
nished once a month Cor If any Glut
of Occurrences happen, oftener) with
an Account Of such, considerable things
as have arrived unto our Notice." The
Legislative authorities" Of the time
however, found some reflections Of a
very high nature in it's columns, and
the Publick Occurrences made no sec.
Ond appearance.

OBITUARY
MRS. MARIE KOSEL.

New Ulm lost another one OF it's old
settlers when the grim reaper claimed
Mrs. Marie Kosel at her home on
South Broadway Monday afternoon
at o'clock. The deceased was
troubled with gall stones although she
felt pretty well lately. The last
attack of this illness came last Satur-
day afternoon, losing very rapidly her
power Of resistance until she sue
cunbad early Monday afternoon. Mrs.
NcseI was born at Halle on the Saale
in Germany, March 18, 1849, and she
was married in that country in 1875.
Five years later they came to America
settling in New Ulm where the de-
ceased lived ever since. Her husband
was drowned three years later in the
Cottonwood river. Their union was
blessed with four children, as follows:
Mrs. E. T. Lester, Albert Lea; Willie
kosel, Fjheld, Wis; Helen Kosel, at
home, and Mrs. Frank Classen, Bengel
Ark. Arrangements for the funeral
had not been made at the time of going
to press.

GREAT FUTURE FOR WIRELESS
Boys Who Plan to Make 1t Their Life
Work Should Know and rAppre-
ciate Its Value.

Before going into practice fnstruc-
tion it is important that the boys who
are to become the wirless men Of the
future should appreciate the value
Of such work. Wireless transmission Of
messages and Of the human voice is
becoming daily more common. In a
few years the entire system Of corn~
munication throughout the world may
be transformed by wireless electrici-
ty, and it is important that boys
should be able to take their part in it..
The amateur wireless station is great
educator and gives the boys who
equip and operate it an excellent ed
ucation in the wonderful new science.
When the call came for wireless men
for the great war the amateur op-
orators were able to take prominent
part. Thousands Of boys who had
taught themselves how to build sta
tions and run them were able to take
important positions in wireless sta
tions at sea and on shore. No other
country had SO vast an army Of self
taught wireless operators to call on.
Many Of the boys who had taught
themselves all they knew Of the sci
ence rose to occupy important posi-
tions. It is not generally known that
it was an amateur wireless man who
was chosen to fly across the Atlantic
on the NC-4 on her famous flight

HAS BOTH MEMORY AND SCAR
Will Remember That He Was
Kicked by a Mule.

A kick from a mule is guaranteed
to make just about as much impress
sion on the memory as it does on the
anatomy. Yet Clyde D. Jarvis has
made sure that he will not forget the
kick he received from a Missouri
beast Of burden for the rest Of his
natural life.
Jarvis applied at Houston, Texas,
for enlistment in the marine corps
and was accepted. He exhibited a
scar about six inches long on the left
side Of his abdomen, and explained 1t
was the result Of an operation he had
undergone some six months before,
for a supposed ruptured spleen, fol-
lowing the kick from the mule.
The operating surgeon had made
the wrong diagnosis, however, and
found that Jarvis spleen was o. K.

Waterspout in the Pacific.

A waterspout formed Sunday after
noon off the Haiku coast. The surface
Of the ocean was agitated until spray
and mist formed into cuplike smoke.
Then a fingerlike extension gradually
reached down from the cloud until
the two connected in midair. For sew
eral minutes the spout must have been
from 10 to Is feet in diameter. 1t
sWayed irregularly back and forth, as
though unable to support It's own
weight fully. Also, it was not solid,
but tube of mist and spray, whirling
rapidly. Next to the water it was like
smoke or dark spray, at the top dark
and less transparent, while most of
the length was CLASSY and plainly
showed the hollow center. 1t formed
quite slowly and disappeared the same
way. This scene was much the same
as the dust whirlwinds on the land,
only much higher and made of water.

An Old Street Directory.

An odd reminder of the past turns
up in the list Of duplicates that the
Massachusetts Historical society has
decided to sell from it's collection Of
historic miscellany In the form Of the
first street directory Of Boston, and
for that matter the first street direc-
tory ever printed in what is now the
United States. In 1708, when the
broadside was printed, 40 names were
enough for all the streets, alleys,
lanes and squares of the town; and
many Of them read the same nova
days. For some years prior to 17Os
the process Of preparing the list had
been engaging the authorities, and
when the selectmen published it they
were doubtless we'll satisfied with
Paddy lane, Frog lane, Cow lane,
Pudding lane and other quaint titles
which modern municipal government
might regard as undignif1ed and trivial

BOTH CHRISTIAN AND PAGAN
Rites of Mexican Festival Constitute
One of the strangest Mixtures
Known to History.

Probably the stpngest mixture Of
the ancient and the modern, and of
Christian and pagan rites, which can
be seen in the world today, is the an
nual Mexican festival Of the "Mata-
chimes"
No white man can tell exactly what
is the significance Of this festival,
which is celebrated in all parts of
the Mexican republic every spring.
Those who take part In it are typi-
cal MeXicans of INDIAN and Spanish
blood, with some purebred Indians
among them. The dances are much
like the war and harvest dances Of the
Apaches, Comanches and other south
western Indians, except that many of
the dancers flourish swords, and wear
by way cf decoration, the tin tops of
beer bottles.
The dancing is kept up for two or
three days, and the ceremony ends
with a dance about a great wooden
cross which is set on a high hill near
the town. This would seem to show
a Christian influence, and it probably
does, but the cross is known to have
been sacred to ancient Aztecs. In
deed, this whole ceremony is undoubt
edly one of Aztec: origin, with Chris
tian elements added.
This bewildering mixture Of pagan
and Christian religion is seen through
out the Southwest. The "Penitentes
Hermanos" OF Mexico and New Mexi-
co are another example. On every
Good Friday they whip themselves un-
til the blood comes, as penance, and
cruelty one Of their number with
ropes. These fanatics claim to be
Christians, but their practices have
been condemned by the church, and
like the Matachines can be traced back
to Aztec times.

Trace Pedigree for Centuries.

Speaking of old families and family
trees, English and Americans who
pride themselves on ancestry have rea-
son to envy the Arabs, many Of whom
can trace their family line back
through many centuries by means of
authentic documents. Prof. Talcott
Williams, an American who was born
and spent his youth in Turkey and has
Travelled much since In oriental coun-
tries, says the descendants Of MOham-
ned are numerous all over the Mos
lem Word-in Arabia, Somaliland and
East Africa-and that they prove their
line by these records, which they value
highly. There are also many descend
ants of Abu Bekr, the immediate sue
cessor of Mofammed The leading
Moslem family in Jerusalem are the
khaldi, descendants Of Kakled who
conquered Syria 1900 years ago and
whose descendants have kept their
genealogical records intact for all that
period.

PUPILS ATTEND in
LARGER NUMBERS.
TOTAL ENROLMENT SHOWS
4273 SCHOLARS AGAINST
1926 LAST YEAR.
R. B. KENNEDY, COUNTY sUPT
OF SCHOOLS, SUBMITS HIS
ANNUAL REPORT.

According to the annual report of
County Superintendent Of Schools
R. B. Kennedy submitted to the
Minnesota State Department of Edu-
cation the total attendance OF pupils
in the schools, graded, senli-graded
and rural, in Brown county increased
somewhat during the year Just closed.
Out of 1867 children Of school age
there was a total enrolment. of 4,273
pupils in these schools, while the
figure in 1918-1919 reached as high
as 4,315. The teaching force remained
practically the same, the total number
having increased by 6.
Almost E, enly Divided.
The number of pupils in all the
schools is almost evenly divided be-
tween the boys and the girls, the former
dominating only by small margin.
The total of the boys was 2,169 and the
total number of girls was 2,104.
This proportion changes considerably
in the high and graded school districts.
Here we find the same preponderance
of girl pupils or students that has been
noticeable for laany years past in all
parts of the country. In these schools
there was a total of 2,126 attendants,
divided as follows: .1,027 boys and
1909 girls. No doubt, the number of
the boys would be still much smaller
as compared with that OF the girls if the
figures of the high school attendance
were given alone. Just the reverse
can be observed in the rural and semi
graded schools. The total number CT
pupils in these schools was 2,147
1,142 of these were boys and 1,0O5
girls.
According to their ages the children
are subdivided into three classes, as
follows: Those between and 8
years Of age, 1902; between and .16
years of age, 1854, and between 16 and
Fl years Of age, ~335. The rural and

Beliefs concernina Friday.

Americans haven't got around to the
point Of view of the ancient Scandi-
navians, who called "Frigi deag" the
day of the Goddess Frigga, or Freyja,
the luckiest day Of the week; but they
are getting more like the Moslems,
whose conviction that the sixth day of
the week is pretty average day, after
all, is expressed in their belief that it
was on Friday that Adam was created,
entered paradise was expelled, repent
ed and died, and that on Friday will
come the day of resurrection.

Hints From the Department of
Justice
Justice

Just as many tender expensive
steaks are ruined in cooking by keep
ing on the fire too long; tougher ones
are condemned because of the lack of
the proper cooking. Whereas long
slow cooking will ruin porterhouse,
it only adds to the excellent qualities
Of a rump or round steak.
For every meat animal handled
there is a heart, liver, kidney, tripe,
tongue, sweetbread, tail and head to
be used. We know that an animal has
to have a neck, fore and hind shanks,
legs and shoulders to hold together the
choice loin and ribs.
What is true of the cuts of beef is
likewise true of other meats.

CUTS THAT COST LESS HAVE
HIGH FOOD VALUE.

From Maine to California women
purchase meat in practically the same
way. Nine out Of ten have learned
for years. as do some even now, that
the more expensive and most tender
cuts of meat must naturally be most
nutritious and that the cheaper and
tougher cuts are to be discarded or
left with the butcher TO dispose Of,
not realizing if they purchase only the
tender cuts, he must keep the prices
high enough to cover the loss of what
isn't sold. Our leading dietitians of
today are teaching the women that the
tougher cuts of meat are exactly as
nutritious as the more tender, if not
more so, because the blood is drawn
to the parts in which the muscles are
constantly used.
In a beef animal of 500 pounds
about Is pounds are tender meat, the
loin in the hind quarter composed Of
sirloin, porterhouse and single steaks
and the prime ribs Of the fore quarter.
These two commercial cuts being the
uUSL IcuucI dIC uuOSL al ucIuduu anu
every butcher. no matter what the To-
cality, will tell you he has no difficulty
in disposing of them. The difficulty
lies in selling the cheaper cuts as well
as the extra meat portions.
The greatest trouble in selling the
cheaper cuts comes from the fact that
women do not know how to cook them
TO make them palatable. A long slow
cooking is the secret of converting
tough meat into delightfully."- tender
roasts or steaks. Excellent dishes may
be served from flank, chuck, rump
steak or neck, providing the meat is
carefully seasoned, scared to seal in
the juices and then cooked to deli
cate brown. This necessitates mod
crate temperature
