ONE MINER DIES;
ANOTHER FATALLY HURT
Upsetting of Table Into Open Box of
of Dynamite Caps Causes
ExoIoSiOn

MoNTFoRT, April 1.-two min
ers, wrestling during the midnight
lunch hour in the "dog house" OF the
Hump Improvement CO. mine, upset
small table into an open box of
dynamite percussion caps. In the ex :
plosion which followed: Peter Peter
son Of Cobb, was killed; Mexican,
who had been employed at the mine
but short time, was fatally injured !;
Charles Cheaney of Cobb was per
manently blinded and eight other
miners sustained injuries.
Reports were at once circulated that
the mime had been blown up as the re-
suit of a plot. Mining officials, how
ever, secuted this theory. and as soon
as some Of the injured men were able
to tell the story of the disaster, all
doubt that the explosion had been
planned, was dispelled.
The "dog house" was completely
shattered and pieces of timber blown
great distances by the force of the
explosion. It is reported that the over
turning of the table upon the caps was
the result of friendly scuff1e between
two of the miners.

THE COUNTRY WEEKLY;
PARTNER OF THE FARMER

By using printers ink there are
many instances where the products of
the farm might be sold without loss of
time incidental TO taking the same to
market and there disposing Of it at a
price named by the other fellow. This
is especially true in the sale Of blooded
stock, as by advertising, buyers are at
tracted from long distances. The post
ing of a notice on the fence corner may
have its virtues, but few people have
the inclination to get out Of their auto
mobiles or tie up their teams to read a
poorly written ad tackled up on fence
post. The same notice, perhaps at a
cost not to exceed % cents, might be
placed before thousand farmers who
would be permitted to read it while
spending the evening around the parIor
table But advertising is study in
which business men have learned but
the rudiments, so it should not be ex :
pected that the farmer will have taken
any advanced grounds in reference
thereto H. G. Hotaling. Of National
Editorial Association.
A great many farmers are forming
the good habit of using the Want Adv.
column in The Democrat for the sale of
products. 1t is habit that brings
good results.

THE Democrat is not responsible for any

tors are required to limit their articles strictly
to 200 words. Express some idea, or thought, CT
argument, or state some pertinent fact, or ask
some timely question, Appeal to mems reason
and sense of right and justice. Above all, avoid
abusing ''the other fellow or calling him
names, for letters of this kind will not be pub
lished Everyone must give his name and
address, but request not to publish them will
be honOred.
To the Editor of The Democrat: The
subject of gardening for our boys and
girls was brought before the civic club
and much interest aroused. 1t was
suggested that the club offer prizes for
work along this line.
Just at this time boys who are too
young to enlist and all girls can show
their patriotism by helping in this
work to work to prevent food shortage
which this nation faces. We trust the
plan will find quick response among
the high school pupils and their
pdlCu luC uSCu lOL tIllS SEINlCc Is
real and very pressing.
The boys, we know, would gladly
serve their country on the field of
battle if need be. In the civil war the
armies were full of boys of IS and H.
There is no need yet for such service,
and we trust there never will be. But
there is need for this service, very great
need and immediate need.
The call has gone out, boys, call
of patriotism. Are you ready? So says
the Chicago Tribune.
1t is desired that those having vacant
lots will offer them for cultivation.
Any parties interested can com
municate with the chairman of the
education committee.

HOW WISCONSIN CAN SERVE

By Every Man Doing His Best
The scarsity of farm labor, the shortage
of food, and the consequent high prices
make it not only the patriotic duty but
also to the decided personal advantage
of everybody to produce just as much
food as possible this year.
By Growing Food Crops. Each
man should grow the crops he knows
how to produce and which are best
suited to his land. For Wisconsin this
means corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley,
peas, and beans. These are all high in
price and needed for army use.
By Planting Seed That Will Grow.
If every kernel does not grow the yield
is cut Farm labor is too scarce to
cultivate bare ground.
By Treating the Seed.-The United
States loses millions annually from
bugs and plant diseases. Treat grains
for smut, potatoes for scab, and spray
against insects.
By Fitting Land Well and Cultivat-
ing Thoroughly.-A good seed bed is
half the battle. Good tillage kills
weeds, saves moisture, and increases
the crop.
By Keeping Breeding Stock and
Using Good Sires.-High prices may
tempt some to sell their brood animals.
Only surplus fattended stock in good
condition should be marketed. Good
sires make cheaper meat and milk.
By Growing Silage Crops for Win
ter Feed Weather risks are overcome
by siloing forage crops, and hay and
grain are saved for other uses.
By Planting Pasture for the Pigs
Have all your pigs on good pasture this
summer to make more cheaper pork.
Use Glover pasture or plant rape, oats,
and peas, or soy beans.
By Producing for Home Use and
Saving Expense.-Let vegetables and
poultry supply your table. The young
people can do their "bit'' by furnishing
the family with fresh vegetables, eggs,
and meat. Can surplus vegetables and
fruits for winter use.

The Result of a Want Adv.

1t pays to advertise; and Edward
Curnow, Sr. knows it. Recently Ed.
Gribble advertised a set of harness for
sale saying that they could be seen at
Curnows wagon shop. 1t was a sea
sonable time for the sale of work har-
ness, and as result the door sill of the
shop shows considerable wear from the
feet of the very many customers who
called. Mr. Curnow has some things to
sell too; and you will find them adver-
tised in the want column.
