NAMES OF EXPLOSIVES
LICENSING AGENTS

In discussing the object and rules
and regulations Of the explosives law,
which became effective a short time
ago, NJ. c. Mowler, o. s. explosives in
spector for Minnesota, took occasion to
call attention to the Importance Of this
measure and to the need Of having it
carried into effect, not only as a pa
triotic duty but also as a matter of per-
sonal protection against evil-minded
and irresponsible persons disposed to
destroy public and private property.
Under this law all dealers in ex-
plosives are required to take out a
United States license, to be obtained
from county agents specifically au-
thorized to issue the same.
1.-The q. s. Licensing Agents, author.
lied to issue explosives licenses in Mar
shall county, are as follows:
A. c.. Swandby, Clerk District Court
Warren: A. C. Kirmes, Middle River
E. J. Johnson, Stephen; Ben Docken
Holt; E. A. Brekke, Argyle; Elmer O
Huset, Radium; Alfred Johnson, New
folden; s. A. Ostgaard, Gatzke: Bert
Lee, Oslo; Charles NJ. Carlson, Strand

CROPS AND THE WEATHER.

A very heavy shower, the best Of the
season, passed over this city about five
o'clock on Monday afternoon. The
rains this year seem to be more or less
local and. very unevenly distributed in
narrow strips, and this shower, also,
is said not to have covered a large
area. As a general thing, though, the
rains in the northern part Of the valley
have been rather scant in the month of
June. Rains that may come during the
next few days will mean much to the
crops. Grain on summer fallowed
fields is looking exceptionally fine.
Destructive hail storms are reported
from Grand Forks, Fargo and Moor.

FATAL AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT SATURDAY

Last Saturday night Gust e. Olson
and Filing Jorgenson, of Alma, were
returning home from trip to Red
Lake Falls in the formers car. When
near the Ole Bodell farm, five miles
east of Warren, Mr.. Olson, in meeting
another car perhaps. drove too close to
the edge Of the ditch alongside the road
so that the car tipped over completely
and pinned him undernea til. Mr.. Jor-
genson was thrown to the ground clear
OF the car but was so dazed by the fall
that when he recovered consciousness
somewhat he did not know where he
was or what had happened to him and
wandered away from the place in the
darkness. Next morning DR.. O. F.
Mellby, of Thief River Falls, drove by
in his auto on his way to Warren and
noticing the upturned car by the road
side stopped to investigate. He found
Mr.. Olson dead underneath the car
death evidently having been instantan-
eous, as his head was severely bruised
and crushed. Upon arriving in town
DR.. Mellby notified the proper authori
ties about the accident. When Mr.. Jor.
genson in the morning had recovered
sufficiently to realize where he was, he
started for home afoot, not knowing
the sad fate that had befallen Mr.. Oh
son.
The unfortunate accident has cast
deep sorrow and gloom in severa
! homes in town Of Alma. Deceased was
a single man, 81 years old, and LIVED
with his mother in said town. He bore
good reputation and was. held in the
| highest respect and esteem by every
body in the community. His sad an6
untimely death is regretted by all who
knew him. Besides by his aget
mother, he is also mourned by {
brother, John Olson, and his sisters
Mrs. Carl F. Adolphson, Mrs. Loui:
Nygren, Mrs. Charles Knitter, an(
many other relatives and by a host O.
friends.
The funeral is to be held today from
the Alma church. The community ex
tends it's sincere sympathy to the be
reaved.

INSURANCE RATES
- ON DWELLINGS

Fire insurance rates on dwellings in
Minnesota have been readjuted in ac-
cordance with the experience on the
class during recent years. Rates have
been reduced on dwellings in towns
with good fire protection, and increased
on those with little or no fre-fighting
facilities The reduction is larger on
the brick buildings with non-combusti-
BILE roofs. and on all classes Of dwellings
a larger reduction is given for non-com-
bustible as compared with single
roofs. AS the statistics show that the
loss ratio on, the contents Of dwellings
is higher than on the buildings them
selves. the new rates Oh household fur
niture are higher than on the struc-
lures. All the changes made are inten-
ded to fit the rate more closely to the
hazard and to recognize the efforts of
the householders who build with an eye
to fre-prevention and Of the municipal
tiles which provide proper ffe-fghting
facilities.

Andy NJ. Swanson, who left for Camp
Grant with the Marshall county con-
tingent a week ago Monday, returned
the latter part Of the week, having been
discharged for the small physical de-
feet OF an ingrown toe nail. As far as
he could learn, he said, it is the inten-
tionato take the men overseas in
veryshort time, and there was no time

At Another reason for his return was
probably the fact that he is still sub
ject OF Sweden, not having been in this
country long enough to obtain his full
citizenship papers. Mr.. Swanson has
gone to Argusvi1le. n. D., where he was
teaching when called, to resume his

launching an organized fight against
tuberculosis
The Northern Division of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, the State Advisory
(Tuberculosis) Commission and the
Minnesota Public Health Association
have just adopted a cooperative plan

sive and complete than is the case in
any other state, are as follows:
Immediately upon notification of a
tuberculosis soldier, the Northern Divi-
sion of the American Red Cross,
through it's Home Service Section Of
the local chapter, makes contact with
the soldier and ascertains essential
facts concerning him.
The Minnesota Public Health AssO-
citation and the Advisory Commission
for the purpose Of the examinations,
enlist the services Of experts in the
diagnosis Of tuberculosis, and the SER
vices Of competent nurses as required
The local chapters Of the American
Red Cross agrees to assume expense Of
sanatorium or other care, as outlined
or recommended by the Minnesota
Public Health Association and the Adj
visory Commission provided the funds
cannot be secured from public agencies
for the treatment Of tuberculosis.

LOCAL BOARD ITEMS.

~ Anyone knowing of a registrant who

and is not entitled to same. should re-
port that fact to the local board at
once, so that the board can investigate
the matter and re-classify registrants
according to their present status. Any
information given the board will be
treated as confidential. We cannot
correct unless our attention is called
to it. We must depend upon the public
to keep us Informed Of these matters.
It is your duty. Attend to it.
Any registrant who is not engaged in
q useful occupation should be reported
to this board. so that steps may be
taken to withdraw his order number
and induct him into service.
Any male person over the age of 16
years who is not engaged in a useful
occupation should be reported to the
County Attorney so that steps may be
taken to compel him to work. Any
person who attempts to hold up the
| farmers for unreasonable wages should
! also be reported to the County Attor-
| ney, as this is but one way of avoiding
| work. This applies to labor of all
kinds.
| Tits board is interested in regis
4stEants, only those between, 81 and 81,
and it does not matter whether they
are registered in this county or else
where We have jurisdiction over
them. No method is provided for pay
ment of expenses in these matters so
all services performed must be gratuit-
ious. Members Of the Board are too
busy to travel over the county to seek
out cases Of this kind, and they cannot
! afford to do so at their own expense.

these matters and do their part, we will
do ours. -.-
