National Music Week

May 4th-10th, 1924, has been desig-
mated National Music Week in the rur-
al or small city schools and communi-
ty gatherings. During this week pro-
vision should be made that every
man, woman and child may be able to
hear the message of music to realize
that at least some form of music has
an appeal to and a meaning for him
or her. Churches, schools, musical
socities, women's clubs, boys and
girls clubs and farm groups of all
ds-organizations of all kinds
directly concerned with music and
those not directly concerned with
music-should be made to see the
Importance of the impression of music
on the public. A community who
thus gives more thought to music,
can give much to comfort, stimulus
and moreover it is a nerve-steadying
force and a companion to a person in
his work and play in his home and
social unit. Communities who give
more thought to music will pay the
way for a better and broader use of
music throughout the year-and that
is one of the aims of this movement.
For schools such preparation for
the observance of this week fits in
with the daily curriculum and the
programs for this week will natural
ly provide fitting climax for the
years musical work The music
memory contest of which we are
hearing so much now, due to the CON
test in the neighboring states, is one
of the most influential mediums for
such doings. Why not have mem
DRY music contest for this week
designated, in your school?

USE CARE IN THE HANDLING
OF EXPLOSIVES

By Dan A. Shaffer
county Agricultural Agent

The stump blasting season is here
with the usual number of injuries
and deaths. Stumps blown up pre-
maturely, blasting caps going off ac-
cidently and what not. We find an
account of some accident in almost
every daily or weekly paper we pick
up. The cause of almost 100 per
cent of these accidents can be traced
to either ignorance or carelessness.
The careless dynamiter and the fell
low that drags a gun around by the
muzzle are in the sane class-both
on the short route to eternity. One
should hire his dynamiting done and
the other should be denied the
privilege of using a gun. Explosives
are always dangerous and should be
handled as such.
Explosives should always be ham
died as carefully as possible. There
is always some element of danger
connected with basting work but this
danger can be kept to minimum by
careful work. The beginner is sell
dom injured because he uses extra
caution. The fellow that gets hurt
is the old hand, careless. reckless and
usually inefficient.
In tamping after loading the stump
always use a wooden tamping stick
never use a crowbar. your heirs may
never find it. Don't cut fuse too
short. leave few inches projecting
from the tamped hole. Better pay
for a few extra feet of fuse than
have your wife hay a casket and pay
the undertaker-it'llb be a lot cheaper
Blasting caps are dangerous when
not properly handled. They yere not
intended as toys or frecrackers and
should be kept out Of the reach of
children. Many a boy has lost a
finger or two as the result of playing
with blasting caps-keep them under
lock and key Use a cap box when
in the field and keep matches, pipes,
cigars, and cigarettes away from the
box. Use a cap crimper when crimp-
ing the cap on the fuse, it viii insure
a better job. lessen the danger Of
ha1gfires and perhaps save you get
ting a new jaw and a set Of teeth.
You can get cap cumper for .
dollar, SO why take she risk. Above
all handle and store caps with care.
Don't investigate a hangfre or
