How cold was it early this!
morning? or how hot was it a-'
bout one o'clock this afternoon? j
These ai'e the questions al-;
ways asked on extremely cold
days in the winter and on very
hot days in the summer; but a
correct and satisfactory answer
could never be given, because
of the great discrepancies ofthe
readings of our thermometers.
The difference was often as much
as ten to fifteen degrees, especially during times of very low-
temperature. This always gave
rise to debates as to whose thermometer was the  most reliable.
To remedy this, we made application to the Weather Bureau
at Washington for the establishment of a Cooperative Observer's Station at Pierz. After
several months of correspondence and after submitting to the
requirements of unlimited red-
tape, we succeeded.
Co-operative observers are
furnished with maximum and
minimum thermometers, instrument shelter and rain gages.
The thermometers are already
here, but the shelter and the
metal gage thermometer support
and rain gage are still on the
road. There are 1000 of these
stations in the United States.
The   state reformatory at St.
Cloud was   heretofore the   near
est observers station in this part
of the state.

RURAL CARRIERS GET RAISE
St. Cloud Times—A bill has
passed congress giving rural
mail carriers a raise, the new-
rate which is said will go into
effect the first part of July this
year will make the pay $1,040 a
year for carriers on a standard
route of 24 miles. Carriers
whose route is in excess of 24
miles will get $44.75 a year for
every mile they travel in excess
of 24.
NEW USE FOR AUTO
The young team of .1. Schoen-
berg, left standing alone in front
of Wm. Filer's harness shop last
Saturday morning, became
frightened and started for home
at a furious rate. J. J. Boser,
who happened to be on the
street at that time, gave chase
with his auto and caught (hem
near John Scbmidtbauer's place.
John took his stand on the running board of the machine, and
had his chauffeur, Henry Gau,
drive the machine sufficiently
close to the side of the run-a-
ways  to  enable  him  to   catch

The Milker.—Probably the
most common filthy  practio
mong milkers is milking with
wet hands and we fear but few
take the precaution to wash
their hands beforehand, no matter what work they may have
been doing*. Remember that
milk is to be used as an uncooked human food or manu-
i factured into butter, and before
milking see that tlie hands are
'as clean as when sitting down
to a meal. A clean pair of overalls and jacket of washable
material should be worn while
milking and removed at the
conclusion and not worn while
doing necessary dirty work a-
round a cow barn. It is also
criminal and punishable by law
for a person to handle milk in
any way, who is afflicted with
any infectious disease.
The utensils.—The pails, cans,
strainers, etc., should be lieavi
ly tinned and, as free as possible from seams, but what few
seams there are should be filled
with solder. Milk pails should
be used for no other purpose.
After using, they should first be
rinsed with cold water, then
thoroughly washed, using a
washing powder, and lastly
sterilize with live steam or at
least with boiling hot water,
then invert in pure air, which is
not found in a barn  or   kitchen.

victims to stomach, liver and kidney
troubles just like other people, with
like results in loss of appetite, backache, nervousness, headache and tired,
listless, run-down feeling. But there's
no need to feel like that as T. D. Peebles, Henry, Tenn., proved. "Six bottles of Eleetric Bitters" he writes,
"did more to give me new strength and
good appetite than all other stomach
remedies I used." So they help everybody. Its folly to suffer when this
great remedy will help you from the
first dose. Try it. Only 50 cents at

Prom the item below from the
St. Cloud Times it would seem
that I'ierz is not alone in street
and alley troubles:
According to A. A. Wright,
the fence which he recently
caused erected on his East Side
property and which has since
been taken down by others,
will be rebuilt shortly. According to .Mr. Wright, the fence en
closes property he purchased
from the Wilson estate, upon
which both the Wilsons during
their-ownership and he himself
have paid the entire taxes. Mr.
Wright feels there i.s no question
lis to tlie ownership of the pro
perty in dispute.
Those disputing his right to
fence in the strip of land insist
that the alley lias been used as
an exit to Wilson avenue for
many years and that Mr. Wright
has no claim to the amount of
land so used.
