Gated by his address, on the letter.

also being mailed out. In any case
where citizenship classes have al

matter of directing the candidates is
left, entirely to the county office, but
it is asked that they be not sent too

from taking the work. In case the
candidate resides in a place such as

If in teachers institute or at other
times when the teachers meet collec-
lively or individually, encouragement
in the work is made, praising their
efforts and calling for their best CO.
operation, it would be of great value
in furthering the teaching of good
citizenship in the rural districts where
it is often sorely needed and most
difficult to establish.

citation of the assistance will issue to
the teachers who undertake the work

FROM GOVERNMENT
FOR LAND CLEARING
Congressman Knutson Calls
Attention to War s.lv-
y = aged Explosives Use

/ Congressman Harold Knutson is
sues notice from Washington to the
farmers in this district that he has
q thousand copies Of T. N. T. folders
No.; 720, which tell now to use this
Var-salvaged explosive for peace
time purposes.
Farmers who are interested in &C.
curing a copy are requested to write
Mr.. .Knutson and he will send out
these folders while they last In the
order requests come in for them.
How T. N. T. is used in land
elearing:
TIN. T. is a yellow crystalline
powder, made in three grades, differ
Ing technically but not practical ap.
plication. Grade II is the one most
comm only. available from the wal
surplus. This varies in color from
different manufacturers, being often
light, yellow in color and very dry. II
may also be dark brown and some.
what greasy. For practical purpose.
in stump work, no account need be
taken of these variations in color Of
appearance.
InEstrength T. N. T. is about one.
third stronger than ordinary dyna'
mites when loads of less than two
pounds are used. If the quantity Of
material used in one load is above
two pounds, the T: N. T. seems ia
exert . stronger effect than ordinary
|dynamites. Large loads should there.
fore be used with care, ~ the ex-
iplosion is much more violent and
pieces Of the stumps are thrown
farther. A No. 8 blasting cap il
required for complete defamation,
The use of No. 6 cap will result
in misfres unless conditions are just
right The No. 8 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 OF
electric caps and blasting machine
may be used. The electric method Of
firing explosives is recommended.
The hole for the charge is made in
the same way as would be necessary
with dynamite, except that the
T. N. T. charge should not be extend.
ed out any length in, the hole due to
its insensitiveness. Enlarge the hole
at the bottom 50 that the charge will
be well "bunched." A common term
in connection with dynamite is to
"spring the hole" where large
charge is used.
The war supplies Of T. N. T. can
likely be cartridged and made avail
able for use at cost of less than
10 cents a pound. The authorities in
Wisconsin have successfully cart
ridged, packed and distributed their
200, 00O-pound supply at a total cost
of $4,000, or about 8 cents pound.

WEEKLY
LESSON IN CIVlCS.
MRS. ANNIE SIMS BANKS OUR
FIRST WOMAN DELEGATE TO
A REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION

1t should be season of wide
spread rejoicing and Of hearty con-
CALCULATIONS on our part, that our
first lady delegate has arrived. Just
as the American woman rejoiced
over the election of Miss Rankin to
the Congress from Colorado and the
English woman over the seating of
Lady Astor in the House Of Parli-
ment, so we should rejoice over
this beginning among our women
and open hearts and minds to great
er visions, too precious to be enum-
Grated. Let us just think about
them-they are certainly coming.
We women are entering politics
at time when the public conscience
is aroused and burning for greater
opportunity. We are educated and
we are not going TO be "downed''
by any opposition as has been the
case with our men. Kipling says,
"The female of the species are the
fiercest Of its kind"
Is 1t not most significant that this
first delegate should be a southern
woman or voter from border state.
She is reported to have received all
courtesies and to have been referred
to as the lady from Clark. She
was appointed to be a member of
the rules committee, and performed
her task becomingly When called
upon for talk, she said: I'VE are
just beginning to open our eyes in
politics, but before long we are going
to make ourselves felt, and you can
depend on Annie Simms Banks OF
Winchester to do her part for the
grand old party
We know Annie Simms Banks can
be depended upon to do her part for
her party and we want her to see
to it that the Grand Old Parity re-
ciprosates. Three cheers for Annie
Simms Banks, our first women del
egate to Republican Convention.
