More than half Of the Z. N. i.
allotment for bayfield, county. a
mounting to $4,000 pounds, has beer
ordered ts date according to the
Agricultural Agent v. E. Brubaker.
and there is every indication that
there will not be anywhere near
enough to supply the demand.
Mr.. Rrubaker urges farmers 70
get in their orders at once If they
want to share in the allotment, Tor
the orders will be filed as received,
and when the amour of orders
reaches the allotment for the coun-
ty no more orders will be taken.
Some of the Bayfield, county farm
ing districts have been rolling in
their orders during the past TWO
weeks, while some of the districts
will not receive anywhere near what
they are entitled to, but this is the
fault of the farmer who fails to get
in his application.
The cost of the T. N. T. explosive
to the farmer will amount to &c per
ID. plus the freight from Barksdale,
from which place shipment will be
made, and this will make the cost of
the explosive about half the cost of
dynamite.
T. N. T. as a blasting explosive IS
equal to dynamite in almost every
respect and very satisfactory work
has been done by the farmers. 1t is
claimed that the T.. n. T. is equal to
20 per cent dynamite as to strength
while the pulling power of INT is
about the same as 20 per cent dyna-
mite. As the T. N. T. is lighter
than dynamite two thirds of pound
of the explosive is used where q
pound Of dynamita is crd7ssrily
used.
T. N. T. will not freeze, and there
are no bad effects upon the persons
using the explosive. 1t does not
subject the user to headaches as is
the case with dynamite.
The T. N. T. which is to be fur
nished co the farmers was packed
for the State Agricultural depart
ment at the plant of the Dupont
company at Barksdale, and the
shells are in much better shape
than the hand packed T. N. 7. fur
nished by the state during the past
year.

WILL ENFORCE AUTO
LIGHT REGULATION
The New Light Law is Now in Full
Force and Effect and the Indus
trial Commission Will See That
it IL EnfOrced. %

MADISON Wis.,, July 26th.-The
Industrial Commission of Wisconsin
today announced state wide CAM
paign to enforce the new automobile
light law. For this purpose it has
continued the employment of G. ~.
Pettingill, who as special deputy has
given demonstrations upon the new
law in all the larger cities of the
state. During the next few months
he will assist police chiefs and sher-i
ifs in getting started in the euforce-
ment of this law. He will visit
every part of the state and will oil
perate with sheriffs, deputies andl
motorcycle policemen on the highwaysf
to make tests of headlights.
A start in this campaign was made
at Madison on Friday and Saturday
of last week. A dozen cars were
found which failed to comply with
the law, but only one of these was
not equipped with non-glare devised
All the other cars had patented lenses
but the headlights were not properly
adjusted and did not come up to the
requirements of the law. One of the
cars which failed to comply was that
Oh a garageman, who has himself
sold many lenses. Strict enforces
ment of the law has also been begun
in other parts of the state. In Fond
du Lac county sheriff's deputies have
not only stopped cars failing to conlE
ply, but have actually taken off spoil
lights on cars which were used ali
headlights in violation Of the laVI.
Arrests and convictions are reported
from Rhinelander and in many partk
of the state sheriffs have issued n6sI
tices that motorists will be arresteA
and prosecuted.
There is no shortage of lenses
now in the state" said John A. HoHl
veler, Electrical Engineer Of the In
dustrial Commission. "In fact, deal.
ers appear to have more lenses ia
stock than there are cars in the state.
Motorists can also comply with The
law without the purchase of patented
lenses by frosting or painting the
exact upper half of their lenses and
properly adjust their lamp bulbs II
the headlights. Complete instrueI
tions on how to comply with the new
law has been issued by the Industrial
Commission and viii be Furnished
upon request" N

LEAFHOPPER RAYAGES.

MADISON, Wis., Reports re-
ceived the past few days by the state
Department of Agriculture indicates
that the loss from leafhopper ravages
in potatoes this year in southrn Wis
consin will be as graf as in either of
the past two years. DR.. S. B.
Fracker, State Entomologist of the
department estimates the loss at 80
per cent of the crop. In northern
Wisconsin, however, that is north of
Waupaca county, the damage SO far,
is slight. In Waupaca county spray
ing may become necessary any day
now.
The. only fields in southern Wiscon-
sin which escape damage are those
being sprayed with the Bordeaux
mixture, in accordance with direc-
tions sent out by the department OF
Agriculture earlier in the summer

THE FORTY FIGHTERS

H Degan WITH the cOmmlCLee Oh
Forty-eight, and there were those
in the know who maintained that the
organization consisted of forty-eight
separate, distinct, and irreconcilable
parties. At any rate, after a few
score more had joined them at Chi
cago, it was veraciously reported
that the Convention contained no
fewer than one hundred and one
parties or factions.
The result was vivacious. Splits
and bolts were the order of the day,
with splits frsm the splinters and
Bolts from the boilers. We have no
satisfactory assurance that. any two
members of the convention were in
entire agreement with each other.
In such variegated circumstances
numerous candidates were put for
ward for nomination. There was
Henry Ford, of course. There was
the perennial Eugene Debs, who was
reverently introduced as '.the Christ
of today"-perhaps in emulation of
the slogan of A years ago of s'Wil-
son and Jesus; they bore the bur-
dens of the world" There was
Battling Bob" La Toilette, despite
the fact that he had positively re-
fused to, sanction the presentation
of his name. Miss Jane Adams,
Dudley Field Malone and others
"also ram Amos Pinchot and
George L. Record discreetly bolted
before the nominating speeches be-
gan, else they, too, would doutless
have been added to the list. In the
end, the coveted nomination was
awarded to Farley P. (not Peter Par
ley) Christensen of Salt Lake City,
who was a Republican in 1908, a
"Bull Moose" in 1912, a Wilson
| Democrat in 1916, and is Farmer
Laborer in 1920, with cheerful anti
cipation of being somthing else in
each successive quadrennium. Max
S. Hayes of Cleveland, Ohio, was
named for President, and a
platform was adopted which de-
nounces pretty much everything that
isn't and won't be.
It was a queer conglomeration of
radicalism, lunacy, visions, dema-
gogy, idealism, and general cantan-
kerousness with doubtless not few
sincere strugglings toward the light
The pity of it all was it's utter futil-
ity, bcause of its individual and col
lective intolerant. Each member
foremost members declared that they
were all intolerant. Each member
seemed to be so obsessed with his owr
particular doctrine as to be incapa
BILE of cooperating with anybody else
Tn such circumstances, even the mos
sincere aspirations for liberal reforms
were doomed in advance to be stifiet
and lost in the hurly-burly. If any
body had wished to create con
vincing object lesson in the folly 0.
"third party" movements, he coult
have wished for nothing better thar
this.

HOME BREW OUTLAWED
enforcement Officials Ruled Against
the Sale OF Hops and Malt
to Public.

Washington--Hom brewing was
brought actively under the prohibi
ton ban when it was learned that
enforcement officials had ruled
against the sale of hops and malt to
others than bakers and confection-
ers. Great secrecy surrounded the
prohibition bureaus action. but it
was ascertained definitely that such
instructions had been issued.
Details of the order were lacking
The only admission made by prohibit
ton officials in the absence OF Com
missioner Kramer was that the Vol
stead act had been construed to mean
that the sale Of hops and malt as
component parts of homemade beer
were without the pale OF the law and
their sale must stop. Enforcement
officials throughout the country have
been notified OF the government
determination. but they have not
been supplied with the technical
language Of the decision.
