a suitable meeting place can not
be procured elsewhere, but lantern
slides and moving pictures can not
be shown in the car.
Each car carries oxygen-breath-
ing apparatus, a supply of oxygen
in cylinders, safety lamps. a field
telephone with 1000 feet of wire,
collapsible steel mine cage, an
apparatus for reviving miners who
have been gassed, and the charts,
splints. and bandages for demon
strating frst-aid methods. Some
of the training with rescue appartus
will be inside the mines, also in
smoke or fumes, so that wearers
will understand the value of the
apparatus and how to use it. A
miner wearing the apparatus can
enter a mine Immediately after an
explosion, and work in smoke and
black damp for two hours.
Many thousand miners have been
trained in the use of this rescue ap-
paratus at the Bureau of Mines
cars and stations. It is hoped that
in the near future every miner in
this country will have a working
knowledge of the apparatus, and
that every mine will have equip
ment ready for use in case of
emergency. Many miners have
been saved after explosions by
rescue parties wearing the ap-
paratus. Also, the apparatus has
proved of great value in fighting
mine fires.
Free instruction and training in
methods of first aid to the injured
are also given by crews of the
rescue cars and stations, and this
instruction is given either in con-
nection with rescue apparatus
training or entirely separately,
hence is applicable not only to
underground workers. but to all
those employed in or around the
mines and metallurgical establish
ments.

HEAVY fine
Possession Of Explosives With.
out License Brings Heavy Fine.

Any person in the United
States found with explosives in
his possession and who does not
have a license by the federal gov
ernment showing the purpose for
which the explosives are to be
used, will be at once arrested and
fined up to 5000 or sent to pri-
son for one year. If the circum-
stances warrant, the person may
be fined $1,000 and in addition
given one year in prison.
This is the principal clause in a
war measure by the last Congress
which is now being put into ef-
feet by the Bureau of Mines, De-
partment of the Interior, which
bureau has been charged with the
enforcement. Francis S. Peabody
of Chicago, a well known coal
operator familiar with the use Of
explosives, large amounts OF
which are used in the coal mining
industry, has been appointed by
Secretary Of the Interior Lane to
act as assistant to the Director
of the Bureau of Mines, Van III.
Manning, in the enforcement Of
the law. Under the law, the Di-
rector of the Bureau is en-
powered to utilize the services of
all United States officers and all
police officers Of the states, includ-
ing the city police forces, county
sheriffs, deputies, constables, and
all officers in any way charged
with police duties. The police Of
the cities have already been or
ganized for this work, headed by
a committee of chiefs Of police in
the big cities, of which Major r.
w. Pullman, superintendent of
police Of Washington, d. c., is
the chairman. The poice are not
only to look after the enforce
ment Of the law, but are also to
make thorough Investigations Of
all dynamite outrages and fires in
factories and warehouses, and. to
make their reports to the direc-
tor Of the Bureau. Of Mines.
Persons apprehended in plots
to blow up factories and bridges
will be turned over to the au-
thorities for prosecution under
Federal or state laws. Most
states have especially severe pun
ishments for these crimes. New
York has an extreme penalty OF
twenty-five years Imprisonment
for the placing Of dynamite with
intent to blow up property. The
penalty provided in this federal
war measure is merely to cover
the illegal possession OF explo-
sives.
The law provides that everyone
who handles explosives must have
a license. The manufacturer, the
importer and the exporter must
have licenses issued by the Bur-
eau of Mines in Washington. The
seller of explosives and the pur-
chaser Of explosives must also
have licenses, these to be issued
generally by county clerks, OF
other local officers who are author
| lied to administer oaths. There
will be at least one licensing Off

Afraid to Go Home

A policeman found a man leaning weakly against a lamp post one cold night. He was carrying a lopsided load of alcohol. Fearing he would overflow and freeze, the cop gave hin, a gentle nudge with his night stick.
 "Get out of here and go home," he ordered.
 q can't" wept he man with a strong Teutonic flavor. q wish I was dead. I came from Bavaria, my wife she is French, and her mother, who lives by us, is Swiss. My oldest girl got married to an Italian, and my other one to Dane, and now , since this country went to war, my three sons say they are Americans. What do I want to go home for-to get killed?"
 The cop rubbed a thoughtful finger across his face.
 "Well," he said, fits agin regula- tions but you got to go somewhere and he eased him gently into the back entrance of a saloon and put him in a chair.
 The woe-begone Teuton wept loudly as the policeman went away.

WOOL MARKET

Trading has been fair and a some what firmer feeling is noted, though actual advances are few. Manufac- turers have been in the market in con- siderable numbers, but do not appear to be ready to make large purchases. Much of the wool coming forward from the west is already billed to them, hence the actual amount of un- sold stock on the market is much less than usual at this season. Develop ments in Boston center around the wool needed for naval contracts and the possibility that the British govern ment may take over the South Afri- can clip. The first of these is already assured, and negotiations are under way between the British authorities and delegates representing the South African wool growers, looking toward the purchase by the former of the wool clip of 1917-18. Neither of these has had any material effect on the Boston market, but the former is ex- pected to eventually fix maximum price for certain grades of wool. Con- tracting in South America has been held up to some extend by the attitude of the growers, recent quotations showing cost laid down at Boston far above parity with that market. Buying is still going on in Ohio, on about the recent level of prices, but in the far west little is being done, clips remaining unsold coming for ward on consignment.
 Woolen spindles employed on dom- estic war orders about doubled be- tween June 1 and July 2, and worsted spindles increased nearly 30 per cent, but the percentage of idle woolen spindles increased from 5 per cent, on June to 6.8 per cent. on July 2, while idle worsted spindles increased from 1O.9 per cent. to 19.1 per cent. Wide looms idle also increased.-Brod- streets.

MOTOR TRUCK DRIVERS
 WANTED FOR RED CROSS

Twenty experienced motor truck drivers, twenty helpers and ten expert mechanics are needed at once by the American Red Cross for service in France, according to cabled request just received by the Red Cross War Council from Major Grayson M. P. Murphy in charge of the Red Cross mission to France.
 The mechanical squad will include master carpenters, body builders, painters, machinists and electricians two each. The trucks for which drivers are sought are of two-ton capacity and will be used in the rapid transfer of Red Cross supplies from seaports to their destinations, ser vice made necessary by the congested condition of the railroads in France
 Volunteers beyond military aga have been asked for this service by the American Red Cross to work without compensation and Red Cross officials are hopeful that employers of motor drivers and the other expert help required will contribute the ser vices of the men, paying their salaries while in Red Cross service.
 The Red Cross will pay the trans portation and living expenses of the men while abroad. It is the intention when the men are recruited to give them intensive mechanical training, some drill and if possible some pre- liminary instruction in the French language.
 This contribution to the American Red Cross by employers of skilled labor would be similar to the contrib utions of large organizations to the Red Cross staff at headquarters which includes nearly seventy-five volun-

teers, many of whom are paid by out side organizations while working for the Red Cross.
 Offers of assistance along the line of these Red Cross needs should be made to A. w. Staub, Director of the At lantic Division of the American Red Cross, Metropolitan Tower, New York City, or to the nearest Red Cross chapter.

AMERICAN EFFICIENCY

Germany efficiency has been held up as degree of excellence unattainable by Democracy. The accomplish ments of the United States since Alp, Til 9th last refute the truth of the claim. In the short space of time since that day the United States has accomplished the following:
 Declared a state of war as existing between this country and Germany:
 Seized 91 German ships and begun repair work on them;
 Authorized unanimously war fund of $7,000,000,000;
 Appropriated $600,000,0OO for mer- chant shipping and as much for air fleets;
 Agreed to loan our allies $3,000,- 100000 and advanced them a large proportion of that sum;
 Passed selective draft law and in single day registered nearly two million men for military service;
 Enlisted 600,0O0 volunteer soldiers in the regular Army and in the Ma tional Guard of the States;
 Sent Commission to Russia to aid Democracy there and a body of rail- road men to Russia and another to France to advise and assist in rail- road transportation in those countries;
 Begun the construction of 32 camps for our soldiers;
 Sent to England a fleet of destroy CTS and to France a detachment of troops;
 Authorized and now enforcing en- bargo whereby our enemies will re- ceive no more food or material from us;
 Passed food conservation law;
 Organized many voluntary commits sions and boards who are aiding the Government and the people in the speeding up of work, conservation of food, and other national movements: :
 Drafted by lot 6S7,OOO men for mili- tary service;
 While the Government was accomp fishing these things the American people have loaned the United States S2,000, 100000 and offered S1 1,000, ,000,- 900 more, over four million citizens subscribing to the loan. In addition they have given over S100,000,000 to the American Red Cross and S3,0OO,OO0 to the Young Mems Christian Association. All these things were accomplished while our soil was not invaded or even threatened with invasion and without any disturbance of business condi- tions. All was done with the calm determination and judgment of an earnest, patriotic people performing service for civilization and mankind and maintaining the rights, the dig nifty, and the honor of the greatest nation in the world. The German leaders derlded Amer ica's entry into the war as a bluff This is our answer.
 The German Imperial Governmen. was nearly fifty years in perfectine its military efficiency. In less thar four months the American Republic has made such strides as to indicate that in less than two years time tho boasted superiority of German eff. ciency will have been discredited There is such thing as America- efficiency, and time will prove that German efficiency can not withstand

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 30, 1917.-Cattle receipts were 25,OOO head today, big drop from recent Mondays. Prices opened strong to 15 higher, but later slowed down to bare ly steady, top $13.75. Hog receipts were 7,5000, market mostly 10 higher, top $16.10. Sheep and lamb supply was 5000, market weak to 25 lower, best lambs here $14.50.
 Beef Cattle
 Missouri beef sters sold at $13.75, as compared with top of S13.9O for best steers here last week. Weighty grass steers were not as numerous to- day, sales not much changed from the close last week, 15 to 25 below a week ago, best in this class $1265, ligh. grass sters down to S9. Oklahoma shipped lightly, prices around steady, good steers weighing 900 to 1000 lbs. at $9.10 to $9.75, 750 to $50 lbs. at $7.50 to SS.75, lighter steers down to $6.75. Butcher cattle opened with good prospects but lost their ad- vantage. Striking switchmen at Chi cago threw the market off its stride and the reported settlement of the strike this morning did not quite re- store the equilibrium.
 Stockers and Feeders
 There was a large hold over from last week, 5000 head, but more coun- try buyers appeared today, and this in connection with receipts smalle, than heretofore resulted in a steady market, at recent declines. Some good red Kansas steers sold early at $S.5C weighing S75 lbs, considered steady Stock steers range from $6.25 tc SS.50, including best quality. Some feshy steers are going out as high as $11.75, but this trade is not yet de- pendable.
 Hogs
 Excited markets closed last week and buyers asked quarter higher al the start today. Later the situation settled to 10 higher basis, with that advance gone at the close. Prime heavy weights sold at S16.10, highest price since May, medium weights SIT best lights S15.60. Dry weather anc two dollar corn are too much for some raisers, and a certain number of goot breed sows are being sacrificed Courageous farmers are able to ge brood sows worth the money iron timid owners now, one Kansas mal today telling of his purchase of tw' good bred sows, weighing 300 lbs each, at $50. apiece at his home las week.
 Shep and Lambs
 Bad fresh mutton and lamb mar kets in the East continue, and price at the sheep house are lower, choic' lambs worth $14.75, possibly S15.0 with culls at $10. Two cars of Ari zonas sold today at s14.50, with 15 feeding lambs out at $14. Fanc, feeding lambs, weighing 55 lbs, migh bring S15, heavier ones less. Fat eve sell at sS, to s9.50, breeding ewes $1 to $1450, old broken thought eve , at $6 to $7.50, this kind being a gam ble, with chances against the buyer

All Participants in Tour Enthused
Over Service at Frederick
Hotel.

(From the Michigan IN. d. Arena,
March 16. 1919
Never was a crowd more royalty ta-
ken care Of than was the Michiganites
who partook in the tour Of the state
championship games at Grand Forks.
by the president. manager and
staff Of clerks and "bell-hops" Of the
Frederick hotel in Grand Forks.
Everybody there was on the jump
all the time to make US all feel as il
we were at home.
One Of the features Of the service
was the fact that no outsiders were
permitted to butt in on the Michi-
ganites who had parties in their
rooms or in the hotel parlors.
The dinner served to the band boys,
we are told. was excellent, and far
beyond what even the youngsters had
dared to dream Of.
Few people from Michigan will ever
forget the unusual courtesies shown
by the management and staff of the
Frederick hotel and we feel sure that
everybody from the city who goes to
Grand Forks will make The Frederick
their home while there.

tistng backed up by better service than
1t was by Fred and his helpers.
