whether it will be shary and short,

Your goods are half sold,
You will get a good run
If the TRUTH you have told.

We have been told that Mr.. Mitchell
of the Woolworth store is full of pep.
Wonder who will be the lucky one to
bring him in as member.
Dollar Day is coming, and by what
we hear from some of the newspaper
men, it is going to make a dollar have
the buying power of two. Every
Town Crier should get behind this big
event, as it is sure to bring great
many people to town, and that will
help you, me and them. So if you are
called on to get out and do little
work, or to serve on the program
committee, for heaven sake 60 to it
with your coat off and sleeves rolled
up.
One of these days we are going to
print right here in this column the
names Of every Town Crier in good
standing-don't know just how they
will line up in print but we are going
to make try at it, Keep your eye
peeled-its coming.
Here is what we found in a 1904
October edition of the Ward County
Independent: H. E. Wheeler, one Of
the Town Crier live wires of today
was running biz store here then,
and this is the way he advertised.
10 yards best calico for Csc, and it
was in small print at that. 10 lbs.
sugar for $l.O0, and you did not have
to buy other goods to get it. You
could buy all you wanted any day of
the week. 10 spools Coates sewing
thread for Csc; in some stores near
Minot this same thread is selling for
Zoe a spool today. In the same edi-
ton the New York store advertised
the following: 100 lbs. best -four,
$50. Arbuckle's best breakfast
coffee 15c; Cream cheese, lbs. for
25c. Gee but those were the good
old dogs. All linen towels, Sc each.
And now days you hardly ever see
an all linen towel, and when you do
it is like feasting your eyes on a rare
diamond, you certainly would not dare
to use it for the purpose towels were
originally intended.
Some person please put about ton
of dynamite under the membership

lines of study for which he is best

Toxic Candles
AS War Weapon


reau of mines, who recently spoke on
Smoke and Incendlary Material" be-
fore the Franklin institute.
Smoke candles, so called" he said,
ARE small cylindrical boxes which are
ignlted by some sort of friction de-
vice, and which contains smoke pro-
ducing mixtures. Their use Is In set
ting up a smoke screen close at hand,
for after ignition they are simply set
on the ground, not being thrown or
projected in any way. The need Is
very apparent TO make the movements
of small groups Of men close at hand
possible.
Tried by British.
THE British, early In the war, de-
veloped very satisfactory smoke can
dies which were used by all the al.
lies. The Americans also developed a
candle which was satisfactory, but
which did not get into production and
use in France before the armistice.
The smoke Is normally white. must
have maximum capacity and be cool
enough to prevent the setting up OF
air currents and thus rise from the
ground. 1t must be heavy so as to be
displaced by the minimum amount OF
wind at low velocity. These require
ments are admirably met by candles
which produce a smoke consisting of
zinc chloride.
"As regards the future of incendiary
material. my own opinion, which opln-
Ion, however, is substantiated by at
least some of the military critics, is
that incendiary material, except for
small arms and long range shell and
drop bombs, will have at least a lin
tied and, perhaps, no use. The fame
projectors will probably never be used
in future war. Smoke material. on
the other hand, will have a very extern
slve and ever-increaslng use. BY the
use Of the smoke screen during an at
tack the casualties can be largely re-
dvced.
New Use Of Smoke.
There was in progress Of develop
rnent by the British and Americans
during the latter part Of the war smoke
candles which would give a toxic
smoke. The toxic material en-
ployed was diphenylchlorarsine. d.
phenylchlOrarslne is a solid which va
porlzes In the heat Of the candle and
is obtained In such a state Of division
that 1t will penetrate most gas masks.
Such toxic smokes. OF which there will
probably be others developed. will find
very extensive use In the future. It
Is the greatest step. made thus far In
the new use of smoke"
