Total Eclipse of Sun Sept 10.

Residents of this city are interest
ed in total eclipse of the sun which
will occur September 10. The
entire eclipse will be visible from this
district and will be the last total
eclipse visible here for nearly 100
years. The next is not due until
the year of 2045.
The eclipse promises to be a fine
one, and many" observers have
planned to observe the total phase
which will be visible in small part
of California and to larger extent
in Mexico.
In this city the eclipse will begin
at about 200 o'clock in the after
noon, central standard time, a
convenient hour for observation,
when the moon as it passes in front
of the sun will appear to come in
contact with the suns edge at a
point on the lower right hand side.
The middle of the eclipse or time of
the greatest obstruction viii be
shortly after 500 o'clock. The
moon then will make a deep
circular indentation into the lower
edge reaching almost to the center
of the sun. The last contact, when
the moon leaves the sun and the
eclipse ends, will be at the left hand
edge of the sun at 4:12 o'clock.
No telescope or field glass is re-
auired to see the eclipse, but the OBJ
server will need a dark glass for
watching the sun This may be a
piece of common glass moked IN
the flame of candle, but better
thing is a Photographic negative,

ing Stumps and Stones.
DIRECT TO FARMERS
The Material viii Be Distributed
Direct to Farmers Through
County Agents.

Ashland-The land clearing move
ment in the state went into high
speed Monday with the announce
ment that millions of pounds of
Sodatol, the cheapest war salvaged
explosive yet offered, are available
for blasting stumps and stones.
Officials of the Land Clearing
Section of the Wisconsin College Of
Agriculture, who for months have
been working with representatives
Of the United States Bureau of
Public Roads to perfect this new
explosive, told farmers at the Ash
land Junction farmers field day Of
its existence.
Present indications are that 2,000,-
GOO pounds of Sodatol will find its
way into the hands of Wisconsin
farmers before snow flies. This
explosive is being used 10 replace
picric acid, another war salvaged
explosive, the supply Of which was
recently exhausted 1t is predicted
that farmers Of the state will find
themselves quarter of a million
dollars richer this fall as a result of
this new discovery.
Officials of the States Experiment
Station reported that Sodatol is a
mixture of T. N. T, and sodium
nitrate properly dried, ground,
mixed and cartridged II is entirely
safe, does not have any poisonous
effects, leaves no stain on we hands
nor does it produce the he3 ,daches
which handicap the usv Of some
ordinary explosives 1t is not af-
fected by freezing and will give good
results at any ordinary tempera-
lures
The material will be cartridged in
double dipped wrappers and can be
used in wet holes the same as
ordinary dynamite. Sodatol is
completely detonated with a No. 6
cap. Either the electric or common
fuse type can be used A cartridge

proximately the same working
strength as n cartridge of ordinary
dynamite. Individual cartridges
weigh about seven ounces, a fifty
pound case containing about 100
cartridges.
The material will be distributed
direct to farmers at a cost of about
&c a pound Where it is purchased
in less than carload lots the pur-
chaser will pay the local freight to
the shipping point from car lot

exploitation of this find purchases
will be limited to 1000 pounds In
counties having a county agent all
of this explosive material will be
handled through him Farmers in
communities not having a county
agent may obtain this material by
corresponding with John Swenehart
of the Wisconsin College Of ARricul-
ture at Madison.
According to the estimates made at
the conference the use of sodatol
will affect an approximate saving Of

-.. r;gure Has Been Placed as the
Cast Of a Water Plant for Hurley
By Engineer.
OPERATING COST $IO.1IO
w;,b a Yearly Operating Cost of
SOTO the City Would Be
Saving $4,000.

According to preliminary plans
and specifications prepared by j. H.
/ Rrahtz. consulting engineer of
{, Paul. the cost of water plant
for Hurley would be S37, 900, with a
rsarlv operating expense of $10,110.
Mr. Brahtz returned to Hurley
Thursday morning and will submit
rs pans and specifications to the
water committee of the city council.
His preliminary work here towards
he establishing of a water plant for
Hurley included the taking of
SAMPLES of the water in Lake Lavina
far ANALYSIS. His report on the
result Of the analysis showed the
water to be good, requiring but
little treatment to clarity it.
The plans call for building in
h which there would be a room for the
pumps, a work room and settling
tank underneath. The intake would
n he extended out into the lake 500
feet The water would first be
pumped into the settling tank, where
+ would be allowed to remain for
several hours until all vegetation had
settled. after which the water would
Be pumped through the mains to the
& city. By allowing the water to
settle for a few hours Mr.. Brahtz
believes that it would be perfectly
clear and free from all vegetation.
Two pumps would be installed,
One with electricity as motive power
and the other a gasoline engine
driven pump The electric power
pump would be the regular service
Ekump, with the gasoline engine pump
4 a reserve for use in case of
emergency.
In his plans Mr.. Brahtz has allow
ID for a filtration plant should it be
necessary to install one at some
tme in the future. At present,
oweyer, he does not believe that a

Nh Brahtz is quite positive that
he supply Of water in Lake Lavina
ould be sufficient for the city of

axe is spring fed and estimates
how the overflow to be quite ex-

g the pumps, repairs, depreciation

On the Heights.

Sometimes right out of the drab
day there comes vision of larger
self than that which we are now
living. 1t may be with us for an
hour or for days, but while it lasts
it gives US new mastery. We feel
that we can do things. We lay
plans that look far ahead We toy
with possibilities. We feel that
after all we have n destiny and that
we are going to reach it, We see
with that highest quality of the
mind, imagination.
Then something gives US start
down 20 the old level Maybe it is
only change in the weather Maybe
it is something we ate that did not
agree with us. Or it may be only
bad day at the office,
But though we slip back we have
gained something for having stood
on the heights, even for an hour. We
know they are thert and we try to
reach them again And in en-
deavoring to go up we take out our
best insurance against going down.
What man has not had his great
moments? And so long as he has
them he has within him the
possibilities Of greater success, Of
greater usefulness. As long as he
has these moments, as long as he
does not find the way stretching off
on dull level to the end Of the
journey, he may know his hope Of
accomplishment is not ended.-Mil-
Waukee journal.

handled in smaller quantities.
The officials report the supply Of
blasting caps as limited. These will
be delivered without extra cost, ex-
cept for freight at the rate of 100
caps to every 200 pounds of explo-
sive ordered. Individual orders of
less than 200 pounds may be COM
bined with neighhor to bring the
order up to the necessary 200
pounds in order that supply of
blasting caps may be secured
Sodatol is u war salvaged explo-
sive and when the present supply is
exhausted there will be no more
available for agricultural purposes.
In regard to this new explosive
County Agent Dan Shaffer CON
tributes the following:
Sodatol will cost the farmer $5.95
per 100 pounds in carload lots de-
livered to any railroad station in
Iron county. Orders cannot be
accepted for less than 100 pounds
and to avoid speculation we will not
accept an order for more than 1000
pounds. We still have few
thousand caps on hand, and as long
as the supply lasts we will furnish
one hundred caps with every 200
pounds of Sodatol When these
caps are gone it will be necessary TO
use commercial caps. All orders
will be taken on this basis and no
guarantee of caps can be given
Sodatol will be distributed through
the county agent only and will not
be sold through dealers Farmers
desiring powder for land clearing
should order Sodatol from the coun-
ty agent at once. We are DESTROYS of
ordering a car at the earliest posi-
BILE moment.
If you do not have an agent at
your station, send in enough money
to cover the cost of local freight to
your station. The cost of 100
pounds of powder and the boxes to
various shipping points is as fol

Farm Boys and Girls to Judge at
State Fair.

Farm Boys and Girls to Judge at
State Fair.
The judging of live stock at the
Wisconsin State Fair, Milwaukee,
August 9th to September LIST, by
boys and girls enrolled in livestock
judging club work will be one of the
biggest educational features of the
fair.
eve feel that the livestock judg-
ing club work at the Wisconsin State
Fair is capable of doing more to in
crease the size of the stock show
year after year than any other
thing" says Secretary o. f. Remey.
Every boy and girl who completes
in this work is going to want to own
purebred stock and exhibit it when
they get old enough to own a herd or
flock of their own. That's why we
are doing so much to encourage it. "
Keen competition is developing
among the children for places on the
judging teams which are to judge at
the fair, according to those in
charge. The boy or girl VINO taxes
away highest honors will have to be
well trained and well versed to do so.
Club officials will be in charge Of
the judging at the show.
The livestock judging project has
become one Of the biggest and most
popular kinds Of club work in the
country since its introduction several
wears ago. The government is
promoting it particularly because Of
the interest that farming with it is
creating among the boys and girls
and the impetus which it is giving to
the raising Of pure-bred stock Of all
kinds.
The boys and girls club work de-
partment is becoming one Of the big
gest departments Of the Wisconsin
State Fair.
