MUST HAVE
EXPLOSIVES LICENSE

The average druggist is probably
somewhat surprised to know that he
must have a United States license
for the sale of explosives. Such a
requirement has been found neces-
sary by the government. Many of
the drugs commonly sold in the
stores are also used as ingredients
of explosives. If no restrictions
we're placed on the sale of drugs the
man who could not get explosives
directly could buy the materials at
the drug store and make the ex-
plosives himself Under the law
druggists will be required to keep
record of each sale of certain drugs
above a certain very small amount.
H. w. King is the licensor for
Dickinson county.

Father Jager's Mission
ST. PAUL PRIEST HEADS MISSION
TO SERBIA-PLAN Is TO RE-
STORE AGRICULTURE AND TO
HELP PEoPLE-THlRTY THOU
SAND ACRES WILL BE cULTI-
WAITED.

If agricultural relief work in Serbia
is successful, it will be extended to
other devastated countries, and after
the termination of the war probably
to practically every country in Europe.
This is summary submitted by Rev.
Francis jaeger, head of the depart
ment of bee husbandry, University of
Burton before his departure for Eu-
rope a. few days ago and made pub
lie last Saturday.
Father Jager's unit consists of five
in accordance with recommendations
made by a special commission sent to
Serbia by the American Red Cross to
determine how best to make the des-
titute people of Monastir and vicinity
self supporting in some measure.
"The commission recommended that
these people be allowed to raise their
own food" reads the report, land
aided to this end, for two reasons !:
First, on account of the difficulty of
transporting food from America; Sec
ond, on account of the national char
acteristics of the Serbs, which make
out and out charity Objectionable to
them.
"The American Red Cross appro-
rriated approximately 100000 for the
purpose.
q was commissioned to carry it
out. Purchases were made of agri-
cultural machinery and seed to cul-
tivate, plant and harvest about 10000
acres of land near Monastir.
These purchases were assembled
and shipped during February, March
and April, 1918. The crops raised will
be wheat, corn, barley, oats, rye, po-
tatoes, beans, and all varieties of
garden truck.
"a lumber mill will be erected i'm
mediately on our arrival, and next
fall flour mill will be built at some
available water power site.
While the people are raising their
first crop, DR.. Edward Ryan, now rep
resenting the American Red Cross in
Saloniki, Greece, has been instructed
to supply food for them.
1--WE shall take pictures and make
full descriptions of the details and
progress of the work fur future guild
ance in the efficient and economical
prosecution of such labor and that
errors may be eliminated"
Laborers will be assigned to the
unit by the Serbian government.
