Cooperative Ownership
InUOLUes LindstrOm Dog.

Lindstrom-The cooperative owner
ship idea, which is rapidly spreading to
operate all companies, banks, electric
power plants, mines, and the like has
given four Lindstrom people the bug"
influencing them to own and pet
cooperative dog" When nightwatch-
man Jesse M. Moore was about to carry
out his official duties and dispense with
the life of a large police dog without
license, four Lindstrom citizens each
donated a quarter to buy the tag in
order to save the dog from a premature
grave. Those who are stockholders in
cooperative Canine, Inc, are Mrs. Will
liam Seneral, Mentzer Olson, Arnie
Swanson and Walter Bergstrom. The
cooperative ownership idea, in at least
this instance, seems to be functioning
rather well, as the dog is good natured
enough to enjoy the affection of its
four masters.

Air Streams Gone Wrong
Keep Rain From Failing.

The heavenly Set-up this summer has
been all wrong for adequate rainfall be-
tween the Rocky and Appalachian
Mountains, according to G. L. Mitchell,
forecaSter for the Washington, D. c.,
district of the Weather Bureau. From
the first of June till the latter part of
July the air streams that make weather
perSiStently followed abnormal paths.
Unchecked by polar air, great current
Of tropical air went round and round
in vast irregular circle-up the west
ern part of the Great Plains and the
Rocky Mountain and plateau regions,
across southern Canada, down the east
ern part of the central valley region,
and back across the continent.
There was no lack of moisture aloft,
Mr.. Mitchell says, but the machinery for
squeezing it out was lacking. Nature
produces rain by bringing together two
air maSSeS-a cold mass and a warm,
moist mass. When the two opposing
masses meet, the warm air is forced up
over the cold, denser air. The warm
air is soon cooled to a point at which
it can no longer hold all its moisture.
To keep the United States cool and
moist, cold air masses (''highS'D must
either come down from Canada or they
must come in from the north Pacific
Ocean. This year the thighs" have
been in the south and the flows" in
the north-a situation that makes nor
NAL summer weather impossible.
Mr.. Mitchell ascribes the summers
unusually high temperatures in large
part at least, to the failure of highs"
from the north Pacific to move often
enough inland over Washington and
Oregon and thence eastward over Mon
tana, Wyoming and the Dakotas. These
polar air masses from the Pacific eff
fectually interrupt the northward move
ment of tropical air over the western
half of the United States, and, if they
occur at least once every days, pre-
vent the development of a heat wave
over northern areas west of the Mis-
sissippi River.

enough last week to test his rain
making abilities. The old gent parked
along the railroad tracks west of the
village and proceeded to try his chemi-
Gals with the greatest of faith. His
method ade hunor to the incident.
Red brick was used in the crude con-
struction of fireplace, where he burned
a mixture of kerosene and chemicals"
He stated that he added some tar to
the mixture in order to bring heavier
rain. The rain man" failed, but so

few weeks, including an east wind, sun
setting behind a cloud, a new moon,
and sweating water pipes.

Here is another list of questions
which are interesting to check. If the
statement is true or false, mark it yes
or no accordingly.
l. Doubling a cars speed from 20 to
40 miles per hour increases the braking
distance required four times.
2. There are more accidents at night
for the number of cars on the road than
during the day for an equal number of
cars.
8. A blowout on a rear tire is apt to
have more serious results than on a
front tire.
4. Having injured a pedestrian along
highway, the first responsibility of
the motorist is to telephone the police
department.
Try answering these questions.

Berries Taste Good, But
Not Hornets, IUan Finds.

Isle-Ivan Jindra of the Onamia dis
trict learned recently how to tell the
difference between hornets and rasp-
berries. You eat them, he found, and
if they sting you they're hornets. jim
dra was harvesting raspberries and alb
sent-mindedly picked one and put it in
his mouth, not noticing that it carried
with it large and sinister hornet. His
next sensation was that of acute dis
satisfaction, and a feeling somewhat
similar to that accompanying good
grade of Mexican chilli. He hurriedly
disgorged his mouthful of raspberry
and hornet, but the damage was al
ready done. For Is hours his tongue
was swollen so badly that he could not
talk or eat.
