Using INT

In Strength INT is about one-third
stronger than ordinary dynamites
when loads of less than two pounds
are used. If the quantity of material
used In one load is above two pounds,
the TINT seems to exert stronger
effect than ordinary dynamites. Large
loads should, therefore, be used with
care, as the explosion is much more
violent and pieces of the stumps are
thrown farther. A Nos blasting cap
is required for complete defamation.
The use of No. 6 cap will result in
misfires unless conditions are just
right. The No. cap is the same as
that used for dynamite, except that
the cap is larger. The same kinds OF
fuse can be used. Either common
blasting caps and fuse or electric caps
and blasting machine may be used.
The electric method of firing explo-
sives is recommended.
The hole for the charge is made in
the same way as would be necessary
with dynamite, except that the INT
charge should not be extended out
any length in the hole due to its in
sensitiveness. Enlarge the hole at the
bottom so the charge will be well
"bunched. A common term in con-
nection with dynamite is TO spring
the hole" where large charge is
used A spoon with a long handle
may also be used to enlarge the hole
at the boJtom for this purpose. This
is not needed where small loads are
used under small stumps.
In order to enable a charge
to be packed down in the hole, the
sides of the cartridge may be slit
with knife. There is no danger in
using a knife in this way.
While INT is safe to use, this does
not mean that it is less dangerous

"A canoe trip Tuesday. The canoeing
party was on a trip In the Flambeau
waters. They had just completed a
portage and were loading their duffle
into the canoes to resume the trip A
rifle, carried hy another member of
the party, was dropped, discharging

Thompson's thigh. 1t was at first
thought that the injury was only a
flesh wound, and the boy was hurried
to a doctor a short distance from Lac
du Flambeau. But the bullet had
ranged upward, apparently, and must
have severed an artery. The lad died
a few hours after the q :cident.
Messrs. Thomas, Kelley, and Cook,
managers of Camp Winnepe, and Mr.
Eldridge, the counselor who was in
charge of the trip, accompanied the
remains to the lads home in St
Louis, Mo.

mar the record Of Camp Wtnnepe in
all the years the camp}has been in op-

EAGLE RIVER WINS
9th VICTORY SUNDAY
Laona Team Defeated l to 0
By Local Team---Camp
Winnepe Wins From
Sunset Farmers

The Laona team suffered it's first
defeat of the season Sunday at the
hands of the Eagle River aggregation
at the home grounds here, byaa score
of l to 0. The two teams were very
evenly matched Each had played
about the same number of games and
neither one had been defeated this
season; thus it was a championship
game from all angles. And after the
first few innings Sunday it was evil
dent that each team had met worthy
adversary. 1t was an alright game
right from the jump. Batters were re-
tired in one, two, three order in prac-
tically every inning. The lone tally
was brought in in the sixth by j..
Merical on Ewald's hit. Eagle River
men went to bat twenty-seven times,
Laona men thirty-two times, and out
of the total Of fifty-nine attempts,
but one man was able to score, which
goes to show that every man on both
teams was paying strict attention to
his fielding. The game went fast,
taking only one hour and twenty-five
minutes of the fans time. But they
were minutes full of snappiest bali
playing all through.
Frankel, pitching for Eagle, got five
strike-outs and allowed five hits.
Collins, throwing for Laona, is credit
ed with ten strike-outs and allowed
three hits. The box score shows how
il uoS done.

INT burns readily and is much more

taken to keep fire and sparks away

In placing the cap in the cartridge
it is highly desirable to use a proper
instrument. The handle of the cap
crimper is made for this work and
should be used. Be sure that the cap
is placed lengthWise of the charge, so
that the business end' of the cap
points toward the mass of the charge.
1t is not well to try to use too short a
fuse. The cap should be crimped on
the fuse properly. This can only be
done with cap crimper The Use. of

It is often desirable to use primer
made with a No. cap and small
piece of dynamite to set off the charge
Of INT. The dynamite is exploded
by the smaller cap, and this sets off
the INT. This is almost necessary If
a No. cap is not available. lamp
the charge firmly in the hole and
then lamp the earth in tie hole
above the charge tight to the top.
Only in this way can full benefit of
the charge be realized. Be careful
that dirt is not mixed with the ex-
plosive, as this may prevent the
charge from going off. bitches can be
made with INT, but on account of
it's insensitiveness a No. 8 electric
cap is necessary in each charge.

BOTH PARTIES FILE
COUNTY TICKETS
September Primary VIII be
Interesting. Both Par
ties Name Strong
Candidates.


After being inactive for four years,
| Villas county Democrats will have
full ticket in the county field at the
primary and general election as
nomination papers for the following
Democrats were ecirculated and fled
Tuesday, the last day of grace for
being placed upon the September
Primary ballot.
County Clerk-E. f. Hayward
Sheriff-Louis Denton.
Treasurer -Robt. Persohn.
Coroner. j Roderick.
Clerk Circuit Court-O. LaCh ance.
District Attorney Blank.
Register of Deeds-H. w. Morris.
Surveyor-Blank
In the above list are noted several
who for the first time are candidates
but whom none need be afraid can
not fill the positions we'll if elected
and If their united strength is on a
par with the showing made by Mr.
Denton, alone on the ticket two
years ago, for the first time in years,
Villas county offices will be admins
tered by Democrats.
Tuesday was the last day allowed
by law for political candidates to file
nomination papers and as a result
those who desire to hold county Off
cial positions were busy getting their
papers properly signed and fled with
the county clerk. Republican candi-
dates are as follows:
County Clerk Mary Hong, present
dep. clerk, and Michael Morrison Jr.
Sheriff.. J. GaffRey and Ben
Juve.
Clerk of Court-Hunter Case.
Treasurer III. Adams.
COrOner-Blank.
Register of Deeds-Fern Scott.
present deputy and Edmund Draeger
Surveyor-W. J. Walsh.
Messrs. Juve, Morrison and Draeger,
candidates for sheriff, county clerk
and register of deeds, are well and
favorably known young men, mem
bers Of the American Legion and
their friends exsect them to be In
side tbs loney at the end OF the
race. Hunter Case, Of Phelps, for
clerk of court, is the only nominee
from that town and it is his first
step in the county political arena.
He is one of our best and Oldest
friends in the county which protects
him against any rock throwing from
the Review. The other candidates
are now county officials and hold
records for efficiency that always
constitute a large factor with the
voters.
The candidates. OF Misses Hong
and Scott for the places they now
hold as deputies, marks the begin
ming of a new era for the United
States as the result of granting the
ballot to women, and il our estima-
tion, will vastly improve the whole
political system. Women have long
flied elective offices as deputies and
in Wisconsin it is not unusual to
elect them direct. From now on the
practice will be more general, when
their qualifications are equal to those
of men. Both tickets as whole are
much above the general average of
county tickets and we honestly re-
greet that it will be imposs ible to
elect both of them.
For the Assembly, the voters will
have their choice of three, Sept. 7, in
T. J. Koerner, Spider Lake, Villas
county, H. M. Mark, Hurley, Iron
county, Republicans, and e. S.

Notice to Farmers.

/ wish to notify farmers
who are intending to have
clover hulled this fall that
it will be necessary for them
to get clover bunchers for
their mowers in order that
there will be no danger of
getting gravel stone and
other injurious matter to a
huller mixed with the clover
as often happens when cut
and raked. Very small stone
will ruin the cylinder Of the
shuller as well as causing de-
lay and expense in getting
repairs. Get a clover bunch
er for your mower.

The score by innings:
Eagle River--0 o o O l 0 Ok

Interest, was at highest pitch for
the game. Eagle River has won every
game played this year, the last five by
a margin of one score each. Fans
realized that Laona, with record
just as good, was strong contender
for the honors, consequently the gate
receipts showed one of the largest
crowds seen out this year. Many
Laona people made the trip with their
team believing that the players had
a good chance to win and keep their
record unbroken.
A return game will be played at
Laona next Sunday and judging from
last Sundays game it is going to be
no cinch for either side. Of course,
Laona will have the advantage of
their home grounds and home crowd,
