A No. 8 blasting cap is required for complete detonation, The use of a No. 6 cap will result in misfires unless conditions are just right The No. 8 cap is the same as that used for dynamite, except that the cap is larger. The same kinds of fuse can be. used. Either common blasting caps and fuse or electric caps and blasting machine may be used. The electric method of firing explosives is recommended. The hole for the charge is made in the same way as would be necessary with dynamite, except that the T. N.

If in teachers’ institute or at other times when the teachers meet collec- tively or individually, encouragement in the work _is made, praising their efforts and calling for their best co- operation, it would be of great value in furthering the teaching of good citizenship in the rural districts where it is often sorely needed and most difficult to establish. The federal government in appre- ciation of the assistance will issue to the teachers who undertake the work a Certificate of Recognition and Ap- proval, and:Certificates of Graduation and Proficiency will be presented to worthy citizenship candidates and . their wives making satisfactory pro- gress. The books and all information re- ceived by County Superintendent Mc- Ghee are being mailed out to various teachers in the county in an effort to make this project a great success in encouraging the candidates to make thorough study of the required subjects. In order to receive a naturaliza- tion hearing at the September term of district court in Beltrami county, all candidates .must have signified their intention for hearing before June 14 at the office of the clerk of district court. $2.000,000 Freight ARRIVES DESPITE STRIKE (By International News Service) Akron, Ohio, May 8.—Despite the outlaw railroad strike, a freight ship- ment of tire fabric valued at $2,000,- 000, reached here o. k. from Passic, N. J. a few days ago. The shipment was made on a spe- citl “train of fourteen freight cars. selections which met with favor from the audience. Between the first and second act the boys’ glee club made its first appearance at a public per- formance and its vocal selections met with heary approval. The club was composed of 14 male voices from the high school and is being directed by Miss Martha Fibigar, instructor in music. Under her direction the hoys' voices are being trained in ad- mirable shape and this club prom- ises to grow into a very good sing- ing combination. ¢ Excellent choice was made in se- lecting the members of the cast for the three act play each part was well suited to the actor or actress. No special. mention need be made concerning any one member for each played his or her part without appar- ent flaw. The play itself was woven about a tidy little romance filled with more than ordinary confusion over mixed identities until the very last wten all is unraveled happily. * No finer selection could have been made for a play to suit the mem- bers of the class, the size of the High school and the conditions un- der which a play is produced in Be- midji. Everyone who attended ex- presses complete satisfaction '~ from the evening’s entertainment. Finan- cially also the reproduction was a success. Local citizens supported them heartily and were well repaid. EVIDENCES GROWING THAT STRIKE IS FAR FROM GENERAL Output Approaching Normal Again in Many Mills Which Are Opgrgting EDUCATIONAL PAGEANT T0 BE PRESENTED MAY 18 AND 19 BY PUPILS “The Light” Won Great Favor at Educational Conven- tion at Cleveland An Educational pageant entitled “The Light” will be presented on May 18 and’ 19°at the Grand theatre by the pupil§’ of Bemidji -public schools. This feature is written by Catherine T. Brice, assistant super- intendent of Schools at Cleveland, Ohio, and was intended especiatly for presentation at the Cleveland conven- tion of the National Educational as- sociation in February of this year. After having been presented there it met with such hearty favor that it has been arranged so that other schools may present it. Superintendent R. 0. Bagby while attending the convention at Cleve- land witnessed the pageant staged there by over 1,000 pupils and was very much impressed with the ac- complishment. Since feturning to Bemidji he decided that a showing of the pageant would be a fine thing for this city, consequently he secur- ed enough copies of the play to fur- nislj to the members of the cast and has made arrangements for the stage- ing of the pageant with over 100 pu- pils taking various parts. ISach de- partment of the local school will be representel according to the present plans. The children are already show- charge is used. The war supplies of T. N. T. can likely be cartridged and made avail- able for use at a cost of less than 10 cents a pound. The authorities in : Wisconsin have successfully cart- ridged, packed and distributed their 200,000-pound suply at a total cost of $16,000, or about 8 cents a pound.

Thomp- son, bureau of War Risk insurance representative for Minnesota, an- nounced Friday that new steps have been taken by Colonel R. G. Cholme- ley-Jones, head of the War Rick in- surance department at Washington, to insure justice for ex-service men disabled by the war. “Claimg reviewers and examiners will see that no awards of compen- sation are reduced and otherwise amended without a new physical ex- amination for one held within that current month,” Mr. Thompson said Friday, explaining clauses in the new bulletin sent out by Colonel Cholme- ley-Jones. “This means that there will be no more cutting of temporary awards without a recent examination on which to base the revision. The same instructions contain a direction that no partial awards may be given when a man is in hospital; this means that every ex-service man and woman in hospital with an illness or injury run- ning back to the service will be awarded automatically temporary and total disability and that there will he no exception. “Even when no recent examination report is on file, the awards will be continued until such examination can be obtained, unless, of course, the man refuses examination, which un- der the day may be the basis for withdrawing of his compensation. There have been no such cases yet. “This will remove completely from the minds of former service men the fear they sometimes feel that their position for presidential nomination.

KNOX BOOM UBSETS CALCULATIONS New York, May 8.-—Republican presidential situation already com- plicated has been rendered even more difficult of solution by the growth of favorable reaction to candidacy of Philander C.

Tt has also been reported around Bemidji that men are badly needed in Idaho around the mills at Coeur D’- Alene and Rosepoint. Investigation has been made and a statement from Winton headquarters who are oper- ating largely there, advised that there are plenty of men there and everything is running to capacity. MOTHERS’ DAY Tomorrow is Mothers’ Day. Tomorrow the mothers of our nation are specially remembered, whether it be the hallowed memory of their presence once with us but now departed, or whether it be . own dear mothers still with the living memory of our us. For the cherished memory of the departed we wear a white flower and for the memory of our mother still with us we wear a red flower. Mother, the cradle of the nation, the guardian of its children, the counsel of its youth, the companion of its manhood and the consolation of its bereaved, how fitting it is that we should set aside a day when all the nation shall cherish her memory. Special services will be held celebrating the observ- ance of the day in the churches of the country, and it will be specially fitting that all who can shall wear either a red or white flower emblematic of the occasion, AP A PPN A covers principally those cases where an additional temporary compensa- tion was given, above the physical rating during a time when a man was becoming accustomed to being partly disabled.’ ’ MOTORED FROM TWIN : CITIES WITH NEW CAR Fred Goughnour of the Motor Inn, accompanied vy Dr. Borreson and Dewey Mills drove up from the twin cities arriving here last night about 5 o'clock with several new automo- biles for the Motor Inn agency.

The people are interested, he says, and will flock in large numbers to the demonstrations. An attendance of 1,000 is predicted at many points. The experience of early settlers has shown that it pays to clear land for modern farming in northern Min- nesota. The land on which is locat- ed the Northeast experiment station near Duluth was originally covered by a heavy growth of timber. It was cleared in 1914-15 to the stump stage and according to M. J. Thompson, superintendent, the timber products more than paid the cost of clearing The outstanding crops of. the cut- over country are hay, potatoes, ruta- bagas, oats and barley, Station rec- ords kept by Mr. Thompson for sev- eral years, show that these crops have a aubstantial profit for the growers.
