OLD RESIDENT
PASSES AWAY

Another of Baraboo's oldest resi-
dents passed away yesterday morn
ing, James Nelson Vanderveer, Dir.
Yanderveer had been in feeble health
for some time and was aged 80 years.
He had made his home with his daugh-
ter. Mrs. Inez Rounds. for some time
and it was there that he died at 1880
on Wednesday morning.
Deceased was born in Montgomery
county, New York, July 81, 1929. In
May, 1850, he came to DeltOn, max
ing the journey by way of the Erie
canal. the Great Lakes, and by wagon
from Milwaukee. Mr. Vanderveer
built the second frame house in Del
ton, being a carpenter by trade. Thir-
ty-seven years ago he moved TO Bara'
boo and has lived here practically
ever since. He built many OF the
prominent buildings in the city, among
them being the City Hall, the Bap-
fist church, and the First National
Bank building He was one of the
oldest carpenters and contractors in
town and no doubt had driven as
many nails as any. Even OF late years
he enjoyed the little work he was
able to do.
Mrs. yanderyeer passed away about
nine years ago. She was daughter
of Rev. Woodley, a pioneer Methodist
minister in this region, in the days of
saddle-bags, tallew candles, and track
less forests.
Mr.. Vanderveer is survived by the
one daughter, Mrs. Inez Rounds, six
grandchildren and seven great-grand-
children.

BELIEF is THAT
SEASONS CHANGE


Some OF the older men and women
frequently assert with conviction that
the seasons now are decidedly differ
ent from those Of their youthful days.
Not only are the winters milder now
than they were then but the summers
are different, they declare. Some are
convinced that the seasons are tagging
that is that winter now comes a
few weeks later than it did 40 or so
years ago, that it fingers beyond what
was formerly It's normal limit and en-
reaches on spring. We have the
same amount of spring weather as OF
yore, they believe, but this season
continues longer and in turn enroach-
es on summer. The latter, they say,
is Of normal length but it extends into
what should be fall which Is likewise
later and runs into the former winter
period.
1t appears that the seasons really
are later than they used to be. Each
season, winter, spring, summer and
fall, seem to come a few weeks later
and go few weeks later than in years
gone by. Whether this change is real
and permanent or merely imaginary,
everybody has complained about late
springs and late spring frosts which
for the past several years worked hav-
oc with fruit crops In many sections
of the country.
AS for qualitative and quantitative
changes in the weather, weather rec
ords show that these are wholly i'm
aginery; the average yearly tempera-
ture has varied but slightly in the
past lao years. Temperature records,
broken only by a lapse Of few
months in 1875, have been kept at
New Haven, Conn, since early in the
year 1880 A meteorologist who has
studies these records finds that the
average annual temperature for the
decade ending in 1890 was 49.6 degreea
F. The average for the ensuing 10
year periods were :1790-1S00, so; 1900
1910, 5O.4; 1S10-1S2O, Ats; 1S2O-183O.

1880, 49.7; 18S0-1S9O, 4S.9; 1S90-19O0.

LARGEST PRINT
SHOP IN WORLD
At WASHINGTON

Nowhere on the face Of the earth
is there printing establishment that
can begin to compare either N size
or nlll o.li with t:,n government Print
ing office at Washington The public.
as general rule, however. knows
comparatively little about this CO
lossal plant which is owned and OPP
Grated by Uncle Sam. This is due of
course, to the fact that the various
products of this enterprise ultimately
reach the people of the country
through some other governmental
agency.
There IS an aggregate OF fourteen
acres of floor space In the buildings
occupied by this printery. Fourteen
acres to such people as We're born in
cities and who have always lived in
them, may not seem so very much, but
if they were given the job Of escort
ing team of fussy-mules and a plow
over that amount of land. and then
planting it in corn or potatoes, they
would get the impression that it was
territory equal in size to Texas,
maybe Russia.
The original cost of the buildings
was $2.410,000 The machinery and
plant equipment of various kinds is
estimated to have cost $4,000 The
total number of employees is 4,437.
about as many people as make up
the entire population of such hustling
places as Prescott, Ariz.; Ocala, Fla.
Noblesville, Ind; Corinth, Miss, );

| Numbered among these employees
are 43O former soldiers, 81 of whom
served in the Civil war, 124 in the
4 Spanish American war, and 2S9 in the
late World war.
The cost of operating the plant
during the past year was $12,673,355
OF this amount $5,319,96S was paid
in salaries.
/ The amount Of coal, gas and cleo
tricity consumed during the course OF
a year is something enormous. II
required $4,000 tons of coal, 1886,
600 cubic feet of gas, and 100000
kws. Of electricity to run the plant
last year.
/ The press room is monster plans
in itself. 1t is equipped with l5z
presses ranging from small handled
to huge webs, capable of printing and
folding four 16- page forms at one
time. Ninety three OF these presses
are equipped with automatic feed.
