Safety First.

We are again nearing the an
nual celebration of Independence
Day and il would seem that q
few timely hints as to the proper
observance of the day, to the end
that less fatalities and less fire
waste be committed, would NOT
be amiss and / would suggest
that in view of the terrible con-
flict now being waged among
our sister nations an added
weight of sentiment be given
the sane Fourth movement in
that the days celebrations should
suggest the pleasures of peace
rather than the horrors of war.
If explosives must be used the
authorities should limit their use
to public parks and to certain
hours of the day, having close
supervision by competent persons,
to the end that as little injury as
possible to othea people and de-
struction by fire may be had.
The firing of any kind of explo-
sives among the closely built
frame buildings which compose
most of our cities is certainly in
accord with the reckless spirit
that is sometimes INDUCED in re-
garding fire. If before any cele-
bration all cities and towns would
have a thorough cleaning up Of
the rubbish that may have ac-
cumulated and the use of explo-
sives restricted as to time and
place as above indicated the po-
lice and fire wardens might have
at least a fighting chance to min.
imize the results. In lieu there
of it is the duty of every city to
arrange for its people suitable
amusements or exercises of a
patriotic nature tending to teach
patriotism, loyalty and love OF
and devotion to our country.
To this end we beg to recon.
mend that a sane Fourth Of July
be observed, that trash and other
combustible materials be remov-
ed from the proximity Of any
celebrations.
In this connection it might be
Of interest to note that the num-
Der of deaths and injuries as a
result of the celebration of Inde-
pendence Day has decreased from
I, ,449 in 1908 to 1,506 in 1914, a
decrease of about &c per cent
which should in itself lead us to
be encouraged and to urge the
good work on. Let us make
every effort to make 1915 break
the record. L. T. HUSSEY,
State Fire Marshal.

In The Mining Field

The past week has witnessed
great activity in the Baxter.
Quawpaw district.
Drilling is going on to the
west and south. Reports of rich
deposits come from all quarters.
In this immediate vicinity. the
Mission, Petersburg also known
as the Katy" Big Jack and
Grey Horse are producing ore
and making shipments. Clean
up work is being done on the
Monon, Hannibal & st. Joe, Last
Chance and other shafts.
In side the corporate limits of
Baxter a company known as the
Mulberry Mining Co., and COM
posed of Bert Childs, w. N.
Love. Fred Goforth and Ed Kutz-
ley of Joplin, has secured the
Newhouse tract on Spring Branch
and are sinking a new shaft.
The ore in these diggings is
near the surface but trouble is
anticipated from water. Other
local companies are forming and
arraugeiug for active work.

The Army Worm.

Manhattan, Kan, June 21-
Harvey, Reno, Rice, Barber, and
Cowley county crops are being
seriously damaged by the army
worm. AS soon as these worms
are found control methods should
be put into operation at once,
says George A. Dean, professor
of entomology in the agricultur-
al college. The army worm
moves rapidly and destroys every
thing in its path. All efforts Of
control should be centered on
keeping the worms out of crops
not yet attacked and thus confn-
ing the injury to as small an
area as possible.
Poison bran mash made OF
bran, 20 pounds; Paris green, ]
pound: syrup, 2 quarts; oranges
or lemons, 3; water 3 IL gallons,
is recommended by Professor
Dean as the best remedy for the
control of the army worm. To
prepare the bran mix the bran
and Paris green dry. Squeeze
the juice of the oranges or lemons
into the water, choppinG the
pulp and peel into fine bits and
adding them to the water. Then
dampen the bran and poison
thoroughly.
The mash should be scattered
in the evening because the worms
feed at night. If the worms are
abundant in the alfalfa field the
crop should be cut at once and
the worms destroyed as they
move to the next field by means
of a band of mash. If the worms
are working on alfalfa just after
il has been cut, the poisoned bait
should be sown broadcast over
the infested fields,

Four of the six men entombed
at Neck City last week have been
rescued after 120 hours of i'm
prisonment. 500 miners have
worked in relays ever since the
cavern in heroic effort to save
life or secure bodies of the un-
fortunate miners. Two men have
not as yet been found as the res
cuing parties have met with diff
fculties too great to overcome.
However the work is being push
ed to the limit of endurance. All
hope of finding the two men
alive has been given up.

John Gilman assistant county
attorney of Galena was in Baxter
yesterday prosecuting Matt Pow
ell who was charged with assault
to kill. In a dispute over the

slashed entirely through. The
case was before Justice Jones,
who after hearing the evidence
bound the defendant over to the
district court at Galena, for trial
in September.
