used for blasting purposes emphasizes
the necessity of exercising great care
in handling the materials and the wis
dom of employing the best safety de-

and to eXtinguish the resulting flames
in case the explosion does take place.
A large percentage of the damage from
such accidents results from the spread

Few people realize the wants and re-

pl0 in the United States Who would
think that 1t requires over a million dol
lars capital to carry on the package dye
business in this country. and that there
are twelve different factories in the Unit

One OF the largest package dye factories
In the world is that of the Putnam Fade
less Dye Co, Unionville, Mo. In this fac
tory alone over three million packages
are put up every year. When you know
that each package colors from 3 to 6
pounds OF goods, or that the output of

from to is million pounds and that 1t
would require more than 500 cars to haul
this amount of dyed goods. you will re-
alize the magnitude of this seemingly

Weather and Crop Conditions in Mime
sofa for the Week Ending June 20.
There has been no rain in the ex-
IRENE southwest during the week, and
though showers were general else
where on the 18th, 10Th and Goth, and
there were light showers in the Red
River valley on the 10th, the total
rainfall for the week was small in the
southern half of the State and in the
Red River valley. The weekly rain
falls in Becker, Douglas and, Wilkin
counties were the largest reported,
and these ranged only from O.75 of an
inch to inch. The temperature dur
ing the week was low for the season,
and on the morning of the 21st, it is
probable that severe frosts would have
been general if there had not been
fresh winds during the night; in the
southwestern counties the winds were
light, and frosts caused temporary in
jury to corn, young fax, gardens
and millet. The cool weather has re-
tarded the growth of corn, which is
generally rather small. The week
has been favorable for the cultivation
of corn and potatoes. Potatoes are do
ing very we'll, and the earliest have
tubers large enough for use. The dry,
cool weather has been beneficial for
the small grains and they continue in
vigorous condition; there is fear of
lodging on rich soils; a little rust is
said to have appeared in some south
ern fields. In the southwest early
wheat is beginning to head, and else
where it will not be long before it is
heading; early oats are also beginning
to head. Barley is heading; early fax
is in bloom, and rye is beginning to
turn color. Glover cutting is begun,
and timothy is coming into blossom;
haying will be general before the end
of the month. The crop of wild grass
is large. In the Red River valley the
fields of late seeded wheat are very
weedy, and few of them have been
plowed and seeded to fax.

She Was an Old Bride.

Editor Mitchell of the Alexandria
Post-News tells good joke on himself
that happened while he was enroute to
the east. While travelling on ''you-
tt C k e-my-back-and-I 'll-tickle-yours"
transportation and on the Pennsylvania
railroad he found himself approaching
the city of Harrisburg where there
was to be a state convention and the
train was crowded with delegates and
visitors. At small station a young
lady boarded the train and the crowded
condition of the car forced her to take
half the seat occupied by the journalist
from Alexandria. The rest of the
story is told by the editor himself as
follows:
Conversation followed. And by
and by my attention was called to the
ELUSIVE greetings given youngish
looking couple little ahead of US and
across the aisle, by a rather young man
who was passing through the car.
Soon another came and stopped with a
similar flow of evident congratulations.
"A bride and groom" whispered the
young lady. II picked them out for
that some time ago." [ remarked on
her shrewdness and congratulated her
quick wit, as we conversed amiably.
Then something attracted my attention
to the ''bride" and as I strained my
shirt collar, I heard at my side a sort
OF gasp and hurried exclamation, II
was mistakenly just as the ''bride"
raised her baby so the friends might
see it better. I could feel my compan-
ion blush, but I was too kind to look at
her as I remembered ''evidently."
We had to change cars at Blairs-
vile and I not only lost the young lady
but for five hours called myself lucky
to be able to stand on the platform"
