in the Florida Union. regular democratic paper
as follows:
From personal interview with President ". G.

the great nation that confers him whatever OF

term as descriptive the majority Of the class.
One would not think from conversing with Pres-
dent Harding that the notification committee Of his
party had done it's duty. for surely man who was

Stump Blasting Explosives.

Farmers in the cut-over regions of
Minnesota who have stumps to re-
move are jumping at the opportunity
offered by the government through
the University of Minnesota to get
leftover explosives with which to do
their stump blasting.
The announcement made last week
that the United States government
had allotted 81 carloads of picric acid
to Minnesota to be distributed among
land-clearing farmers at about half
the prices that farmers have been
paying for other explosives, was met
with eager interest on the part Of the
farmers. As soon as the word went
out, county agents in the Is counties
to which allotments have been
assigned began to get inquiries.
The meetings being held this week
at county seats and elsewhere to
acquaint farmers with the opportunity
to secure high grade explosive at
greatly reduced rates, and to acquaint
them with its use, have been largely
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1921-07-22

attended. Following each meeting
orders have poured in.
Those in charge of the campaign
believe that Minnesota's allotment
will be quickly absorbed. Through
the county agents, therefore, they
are urging farmers to file their
orders early in order to get the prices
quoted-seven cents a pound plus
freight charges of about two cents
from Sparta, Wis. If the supply at
Sparta is exhausted, additional stock
will have to be shipped from New
Mexico which will greatly increase the
freight charge. All orders should
be placed with county agents or local
bankers.
County Agent Neubauer explained
the method of securing these ex-
plosives to the White Iron Farmers
Club at the meeting held Sunday and
many were interested judging by the
enthusiasm with which his talk was
received. II

Dream Aided In Cure.

A knowledge OF the significance OF
dream-states has within recent years
enabled psycho-analysists to effect
cures In many cases where ordinary
psycho-analysis has failed. For exam
pie. woman unmarried suffering from
hysteria-neurosis dreamed that she
was tormented by the tail Of vuiture.
This woman in her youth had read
Grecian and Egyptian literature, In
which the vulture has a distinct SYM
bolic value in relation to sex. This
lady had experienced very violent
attack during this period. and her
dreams were connected with the vui-
ture symbol. A psycho-analyst to
whom she went very quickly got to
the root of the trouble and was able
to effect a complete cure.

value Of Friendship.

Nothing that we experience In life
makes a deeper appeal to US than the
loyalty of our friends in the hour of
misfortune. Frequently we hear 1t
said that only In misfortune do we
know our real friends. There Is no
doubt about this. Superficial friends
will not stand the acid test Of adver-
sity. 1t is amazing what tonic 10y
atty is when life feels its stress ard
strain. 1t may not disclose itself In
my material way. for Its finest express

hulwark when the sorrows and misfor-
unes come.-James e. Freeman.

There is something wrong with a
system of existence that bring tears
to the eyes of an old man and causes
his shoulders to be shaken by sobs
When one has passed through the
trial and sorrow, raised family and
toiled along the way, he should know
a few years of peace and love and
tender care before he lays down the
burden. This is inspired by an
incident that touched US deeply a

father stopped US on the street and

One of the measures backed by
the Legion which Congress recently
enacted, provides that $500, 900, shall
be placed at the disposal of the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Training,
which will use it in making loan to
tide disabled veterans over rough
spots. Plans for distributing this
money will soon be completed. and
then, should disabled veteran be

secure them, from the Federal Board.
The distribution of enemy guns and
material captured in the world war

Congress of a bill distributing this
material to states on the basis of pop
