probability will head the proposed
association. which will be composed
principally of the approximately A.,

will be open to the association when
formed, aside from the social feat

Two Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named in honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe- cial patriotism and bravery. He was sergeant in t South Carolina regiment And in the attack on Fort Moultrie, early in the war, the flagstaff was shot off and the flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of the works. Jump Ing from one of the embrasures, Jasper mounted the colors, tied them tc staff and held them in position under a hot fire until another flagstaff was brought. For this q commission was offered him but he declined 1t through distrust of his qualifications. Or an- other occasion he and another sergeant named Newton attacked British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun- ty Is named Newton in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georgia and central square In Savannah help to perpetuate Jas per's name. He was killed at Savannah near the close of the war.

When the birdman tells us we must not give these things to our pets too frequently the temptation to 90 con- trary to advice Is strong, for we sym' pathize keenly. An accident showed me the way to gratify our pets without harm to them, aS experience has proven. Some months since, a little birdseed was spilled on the earth in large tub containing rubber plant Soon these seeds spreuted, agd we hit, upon the idea of removing the bottoE, from the cage and setting 1t over thH young sprouts.

Why Flour ExpIodes,

Records Of the last ten ears show that about twenty explosions have Oc- cured in cereal, four and feed mills, with the loss of S2,000,O0O worth of property, as well as the killing or in turing of over two hundred employees. Investigations regarding the causes of these explosions and subsequent fires have not proved conclusively what arc the difficulties to be avoided. In eight cases the explosions are believed to have originated from the sparks pro- duced in the machines during the grinding process. Tiny particles of gravel or metallic substances coming Into contact with the plates of the ma- chine may nroduce enough sparks so ignite the dust within the machine. Another possible cause for cereal dust explosions suggested is the use 0f naked danes.
