WILL RESTORE OLD MILL.

With the requirement of patch Of
ground on which the historic build
ing stands and the completion of a
fund to restore it, the old Seppman
windmill will be preserved for pos
terity by the Blue Earth County His
torical Society.
An example of an ancient method
of turning grain into flour and a
landmark of the early days of Blue
Earth county as well as a pictures
que object in itself, the Society wants
to include it among it's relics.
Rebuilding of parts of the struc-
ture will be necessary and supports
must be placed in order to strengthen
it, the society has learned. The
amount required to do this work will
run into some hundreds of dollars.
Members of the organization believe
that the fund for this purpose, col
lected through an association, can be
completed without difficulty.-Brow

"That task is to give the best

Margaret's mother asked what she
was doing.

replied.
"Surely you don't think you can
sprinkle salt on birl's tail and
catch it?" the mother said.
"But Mr.. B told us kids that
we could sprinkle salt on birds
tail and catch it and he wouldn't

Sheepdog Is Marcel
of Canine Sagacity

It is only recently that attention
has been drawn to the wonderful
brain capacity of the working sheep
dog. Dogs trained for special
sheepdog trials have given extraor-
binary demonstrations of how a
dog can think and reason for him
self.
Many people are under the i'm
preston that this is quite new
development in sheepdOg training.
but it is not so. From time i'm
memorial shepherds have had a
wonderful understanding between
themselves and their dogs. In the
real sheepdOgs there seems to be
an inbred instinct which FEMALES
them to do the work that is ex-
pected of them. 1t is a natural
gift, which is developed when
brought into companionship with
the shepherd.
James Hogg, the Ettrick shep-
herd, wrote much regarding the sa-
gacity of his dogs. In his day the
shepherds had more difficult tasks
to accomplish than they have to-
day. They had to bring their flocks
long distances to fairs and mar
kets. and had to keep their own
lots separate from the others-a
task in itself, as the sheep had to
be tended night and day.
The working collie has great
capacity for understanding each
sound and gesture made by its mas
ter. The dogs enjoy their work,
and seem to delight in anticipating
the wishes of the shepherds.

Rats and Other Pests r
Distributed by Wind

There have been many insect
showers, and small frog showers are
not unknown. One was witnessed
near Toulouse by Professor Pontus,
in 1904. But the most unpleasant
shower of all fell in Norway. A
colony of rats migrating from the
highlands to the lowlands was
swept up by a whirlwind and strewn
over the next valley.
In the past, people have attrib-
uted these showers to witchcraft,
but the truth is, of course, that the
wind was at the bottom of the mis-
chief. Travelling in a circular mo-
ton, the wind will sweep up light
objects like gigantic vacuum
cleaner and bear them through the
air.
In every case recorded these
strange showers have been accom-
panied by extraordinary weather.

Hoover Wins in all

fell in line as rapidly as the votes
could be tabulated. .s-
Prohibition was the dominant
factor which caused Mr.. Smith
trouble in the Southland. This sec
ton of the country was dry for
years before the. 18th amendment
was passed and the people did not
propose to support any candidate,
regardless of party, who would
ieopariize the dry cause.
In the midwest farm relief was
the real issue. AS the so-called
doubtful states of Minnesota, Wis
consin, North and South Dakota,
Iowa and Nebraska swept into the
Hoover column with smashing ma
jorities it was a striking index
that the agriculturist of the middle
and northwest had faith in the sin
cerity and ability OF Mr.. Hoover
to bring them pracsIcal relief.
In the New England and East
ern seaboard states there was a
fear that the protective tariff. fos-
tered by Republican policy might
be tinkered with should Gov. Smith
be elected. Experience with form
er Democratic tariff legislation
had been expensive and all of New
England and the Atlantic sea-
board states will send Hoover
electoral voters to Washington
save Massachusetts, and Rhode Is
land. The Smith lead is scant in
these states and may be wiped out
with complete returns.
The Harvest and Pacific coast
states followed CALIFORNIA; lead in
indorsing the candidacy of the
great administrator, Herbert Hoov-
er.
At this writing, Wednesday eve
ming it is apparent that Mr.. Smith
is the worst defeated candidate
for President in the history of
American politics, save perhaps in
1912 when Mr.. Taft, embroiled
in party fight with Teddy Roose-
Welt, carried only one state. The
1912 election gave President Will
son 435 electoral votes. Gov.
Smith has carried eight states
six in the extreme south and two
seaboard states, as follows: Ala
bama, Arkansas, Georgia, Lousia-
ma, Mississippi and South Carolina,
and Massachusetts, and Rhode Is
land in the extreme east.
To be elected President the sue
cessful candidate. must have 266
electoral votes. The returns at
hand indicate that Hoover and Cur
tbs will enter the electoral college
with 444 votes. Complete returns
may change this number slightly.
The following tabulated statement
indicates the states each candidate
b carried:

Physicians and Cookery

While our modern cook books
are mostly written by women. this
has not always been the case. Dur
ing the Middle ages it was custom
airy for doctors to write cook books,
and most of the culinary volumes
of these times came from the med
ical profession. Cookery was con-
sidered akin to healing. Doctor Lis
ter, author of fine cook book and
physician to Queen Anne, wrote {:
Il do not conside myself as haz-
arding anything when 1 say that no
man can be a good physician who
has not competent knowledge Of
cookery.-Kansas City Times.

Sun Dogs

"Sun dogs" are mock suns, ap-
pearing in the form of a bright
light near the sun, usually tinged
with the prismatic cOlors and some
times having luminous train.
Two or more are generally seen at
the same time in connection with
solar halos. They are popularity
called "sun dogs" because they are
attendant on or followers of the
sun. They are really optical illu-
sions and are known scientifically
as ''parhelia. The images are due
to the prismatic reflection of the
rays of light through ice crystals

Early Britons Unlettered

Neither Caesars Commentaries
nor the writings of Tacitus and
other historians of the period Of
the Roman domination convey evil
dence that the Britons had any
knowledge of letters until the Ro-
man and Greek characters were

torians preserve any oral traditions
of the British hards or druids cal
culated to shed much light upon
the early history of the Celtic race.

Cicada Not a Locust

The cicada is referred 10 as the
17-year locust, a name that is in
correct in at least two particulars.
1t is not locust ut all, that name
being properly applied only to mem
bers of the grasshopper family, and
while it has 17-year period it
also has a 13-year period. 1t has
been so long miscalled by the name
of the locust, however, that there
is no hope of disesting it of that
incorrect appellatiOn. ,...~.
