The meeting of the Patrol Commit

here some so citizens from all over
the state who came long distances to
confer upon the ways and means Of
getting bill through the Legislature
that will secure better roads for the
state. The II Believe" slogan is a
good one and the publicity depart

splendid work in keeping the people

organization is non-partisan and it's
sole aim, at the present time, is to
secure the passage in the 1919 Legis-

United States. When this is done
Vermont will have taken another step
in advance and progress.

For the first time in the history of
the city, Rutland is without ice for
home consumption. The supply har-
vested last winter is entirely exhaust
ed and as almost every town along
the Rutland railroad has such re

cure II supply. The shortage is
thought to be due to the fact that
labor shortage and very heavy ice
caused some of the smaller com

COAL PYRITE IN EXPLOSIVES
q iowa Biologists Investigate Coal Fields
for Needed Mineral, With
Excellent Results.

An investigation Of pyr1te, an essen
tial material In the manufacture Of
high explosives, Is being made in the
coal fields of Iowa under the direction
Of Dean George F. Kay Of the Uni
yersity Of Iowa, who Is director Of the
Iowa geological survey. High explo-
sives are made with the aid Of sui
phuric acid, which in turn is made
chiefly by roasting pyrite, popularity
known as 'foors gold" Hence the
mineral is in great demand.
For many years pyrite for acid pro-
duction has been imported from Spain,
states Doctor Kay. But in order to save
the ships fer more urgent uses, the
shipping board has sharply reduced the
import Of pyrite. The domestic produc-
ton of the mineral must then be IN.
usually large, he declares
New York, Virginia, Georgia. South
Carolina and Alabama have pyrite
mines, and Illinois and several other
states are producing q small tonnage
from coal mines Many hundred thou
sand tons are quickly available from
coal mines, says the state geologist, II
the governments explosive program re.
Quires 1t.
The method Of preparing coal pyrite
for shipment to acid plants is simple
and cheap. The sulphur balls" mus
be separated from adhering coal, and
be crushed, washed and screened into
lump and fine sizes. Coal miners are
willing to load pyrite. and the opera
tors to hoist and ship It, If war indus
tries demand It.
