BARKSDALE SWAMPED
BY PYROTOL ORDERS

Since the first week in August
731 800 pounds of the 100000
pounds of pyrotol allotted Mime
sofa up to June 80, 1925, have
been ordered of Washington
through the agricultural engi-
neering division of the University
of Minnesota. Pyrotol is the
latest explosive set aside from
war saved material for purposes
of road making and land clearing.
On September Is orders for py-
rotol waiting to be filled at Banks

fortunately the capacity at Banks
dale is 10000 pounds a day only.
so it is clear that many orders
cannot be filled until after the
ground freezes. The first car of
pyrotol shipped from Barksdale
was billed to Virginia, MINI.
Because of an abundance of

FARMERS SAVE MONEY
ON PRISON PRODUCTS

According to information re-
ceived by the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation from M. C.
Mcmillan, superintendent of in
dustries of the state prison at
Saltwater, Minnesota, farmers
who have purchased binder Irvine
and machinery manufactured by
the prison since the industries
were established have saved APP
proximately $12,000,000.
During the past season." said
Mr.. Mcmillan. I'VE have placed
on the market an improved Min
nesota binder which has COM
pared favorably with any other
machine and have been able to
sell this machine at a price from
20 to rs per cent below other
makes. On several sizes of bin
ders we are short over 100 ma
chimes.
We have manufactured this
year approximately 24,0O0,000
pounds of binder Irvine, all of
which was sold out early in the
season.
of course we are criticized by
certain interests, who declare
that our machinery department
has lost money. There are those
who even go so far as to assert
that this loss has affected the
taxpayers of the state. 1t is a
known fact, however, that the
prison has at no time received
any appropriation from the legis-
lature during the last ten years
and that it has been strictly self
supporting during that time"
Mr.. Mcmillan declared that
next year production of the bin
der and Irvine manufacturing
plant of the prison will be on |
capacity basis. Our business,
which includes binders, mowers,
rakes and binder twine." said Mr.
Mcmillan, has made phenomenal
strides. The increase in 1922
over 1921 was about 25 per cent:
of 1923 over 1922, about 100 per
cent; and of 1924 over 1923. an
proximately 25 per cent.
The object of our machinery
and Irvine business is to provide
employment for prisoners and to
permit them to learn a trade
which will be of use to them
when they are dismissed; and to
help the farmers of the state by
supplying them with a quality
product of machinery and Irvine
at saving in cost"
Binder Irvine and machinery
can be secured by farmers direct
from the Minnesota State Prison
at Saltwater, or through dealers

be taken with grain of salt.
Those who anticipate the election
of Mr.. Coolidge expect several
new faces in his advisory coun-
Gil. The tea-table and golf course
gossip is to the effect that there
will be at least four vacancies.
These OWNERS say that Post
master-General New has outlived
his usefulness and may be sue
ceeded by Rascom Slemp. now
secretary to the President, or one
of the leading Republicans of
the House. Others say that the
Coolidge campaign manager, w.
M. Butler, will find a berth as the
PING or Secretary of Commerce
succeeding Hoover who is look
ing for other fields to conquer
after recognizing his depart
ment successfully. Over the tea
cups they say that Secretary of
Labor Davis, will retire and
make way for another award.
Trouble has followed the Secre-
tary of the Navy and some ex-
pect Mr.. Wilbur to return to his
law practice in California.
Disraeli, a wise statesman once
said that there is no gambling
like politics and nothing in which
the power of circumstance is
more evident. No doubt there
are thousands of men who feel
qualified and deserving of Cabi-
net posts and seek the job. There
are others who decline invitations
to this high honor as they know
that in politics, merit is reward
ed by the possessor being raised,
like a target to a position to be
fired at" Serving on board of
directors in the business field, a
capable man has a chance to de-
fend himself but as a member of
the Cabinet he is constantly un-
der pressure from political
sources. The glory is only pass
ing as illustrated in everyday
life here when former Cabinet
officers are never noticed in a
crowd.
If John w. Davis wins the cleo
ton, it is said that Frank L. Polk
would be his choice for Secretary
of State. Robert lansing, who
formerly held the post under the
late President Wilson, is slated
for diplomatic assignment, pos
sibly to the Court of st. James
at London. Nobody mentions
William j. Bryan for a Federal
job. With Mr.. La Toilette as a
possible winner in the struggle
for the Presidency, speculation
falls flat for few share the Wis
,onsin Senator's confidence at
this time.
If you have the time to glance
over a list of Federal officials, oc-
'upying positions by appoint
nent, and you will observe that |
IN effort is made to preserve
geographical balances in regions
where the party in power has a
arge following. This unwritten
rule holds true especially on the
multitude of commissions and
bureaus having a long patronage
list. a President like King Louis
the Fourteenth of France, has to
keep in mind the sage remark of |
royalty Everywhere appoint

and one migrate
fui. There are many dreaming
OF place and power today who
