PyrOtOI Takes Place Of
INT and SOdotal Issue
WAR sALvAGED MATERIAL NOW
READY FOR DISTRIBUTION TO
WISCONSIN FARMER

It's a newly devised explosive, made
from war salvaged materials and con-
tinues the work that sodatol, INT,
and Picric acid did to supply Wiscon-
sin farmers with an inexpensive force
for clearing land, blowing out stumps
cracking rocks, and digging bitches.
This is the announcement of John
Swenenart, land clearing specialist at
the College of Agriculture, University
of Wisconsin, today.
AS soon as the supply of materials
available for the making Of sodatol
were use,l up experiments were made
by Swene hart to find a way to utilize
other n,ate1 ais left over as surplus
after the war and not now needed fol
that purpose Experiments OF the Div
ision of Agricultural Engineering OF
the United States Bureau of Public
Roads and the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture have at length been sue
cesseul and satisfactory disable for,
mula WORK ed out.
Pyrotol vii! be prepared and car
tridged for use in much tie same way
as explosives in the past and it is be
lieved that farmers will have no. If
ficulty in getting good results and saw
ing large enns Of money by using this
material instead of more expensive
dynamites, says Swenehart.
This explosive will be delivered in
carload lots to all points in Wiscon-
sin at $3.50 for one hundred pounds
This means that farmers in every part
of Wisconsin will be able to call at
the door where a carload lot is being
unloaded and receive their material at
this price. In case small quantities are
re-distributed through other stations
or re-shipped by truck or stored, then
the additional cost of this local freight
trucking or storage must be paid by
the farmer who gets the material.
The price, higher than for sodatol,
is necessary to cover more costly
manufacturing process and also to pay
for some extra materials which must
be furnished by the contractor in or
der to make a disable explosive.
In order to give everyone a chance,
NOT over 1000 pounds is to be allotted
to any individual in single 12-month
neriod, advises Swenehart. Farmers
are advised not to order more than
immediate needs. While Pyrotol can
he safely stored if kept in a dry ven
tilated place, there is no assurance
given that it will keep indefinitely.
The new explosive is safe to handle;
does not freeze at any temperatures
ordinarily used for farm blasting; is
almost non-headache, and will be
found effective on stumps and stones.
IT is more bulky than ordinary ex-
nlosiye and therefore there will be
more cartridges to the pound
Distribution will be made through
county agricultural agents in those
counties where one is employed. In
other counties the agricultural col
Iege will arrange to make distribution
direct. The distribution is open to all
farmers in the state. Naturally, how
ever, as the supply of this material
depends on the available supply of
war materials, orders must be accept
ed subject to this supply. When the
supply is gone, checks will be return
ed.

Speaking only for myself everyone is urged to pub

Don't wait until the last minute to spring" "Roor
back"
And lest anyone with "the facts" is not informed
to how to proceed call attention to Wisconsin Stat
utes Section O9whc is the general statute covering
removal of elective county officers
And particularly to Section ILL., the material part
of which reads follows:
'1711 Suspension Of district attorney Cd If any
district attorney arrested for charged with Of
Tense against the laws of this state the governor is
credbly informed that any district attorney guilty of
such offense that proceedings pending before
any court or officer involving any criminal charge

elects refuses perform his duties the governor shall
suspend him from office until such charge shall be nves
gated and finally determined, and shall appoint the at
or of his assistants competent
attorney of the state to discharge the duties of such
office during such suspension"
And also want to call the attention of people to
the fact that county monies only be expended in
of two viz by the county board order Of the
circuit judge The county board has never gven OCon-
nor $4,000" any The county records speak for
themselves, and do not lie.
And also the fact that every year an audit is made
of all county offices and the further fact that Exami
ners' from the Wisconsin Tax Commission make an
haustve examination of all monies received and expended
by the county and file detailed reports each year.
If there has been any ssEulldugery why has
appeared?
Come out in the open! Produce the facts! Or for

"Since this case has come up,
there is said to be shown a pro-

LET THE LIGHT SHINE IN

In the Villas County News on
July 23rd, 1924. appeared an ar
ticle which wound UP as follows:
''It promises to be rather q
lively campaign before election
and undoubtedly many figures
as to county expenditures will
be shown publicly. With two
tickets in the field there will
be lively contest after the pri-
maries in September.--it is
stated that there will be show
ings made that will throw
boomerang into the ranks of
some individuals.
Politics is az strange bed-fel
low. Pet it and try and be its
friend and it will give you the
worst form of Hydrophobia;
slam it in the jaw with cold fig
ures and it will cringe, tuck les
tail between its legs and fade
into obIivion-or something like
that. Anyhow the promise has
been made that there will be
some fun before the election and
the public will watch develop
ments.
