TO DISTRIBUTE PYRoToL
Explosive May Be Obtained From
 State Board of Agriculture

The supply of picrie acid and soda t0l having been exhausted the Bureau of Public Roads has made arrange ments to distribute pyrotol in a simi- lar manner.
 The purpose of this distribution is Co put surplus war explosives directly into the hands of the individual farm er for use in improving his own land
 Pyrotol Is a high explosive eompos- ed largely of ground smokeless pow der and sodium nitrate. It is pre- pared for use in douhle-dipped para- fined cartridges weighing about six ounces The cartridges are packed n wooden boxes each containing 50 pounds of pyrotol
 Pyrotol is comparatively safe explosive While it is more sensitive than INT or picric acid. there Is no danger whatever in handling it pro- vlded that the ordinary care Used in handling dynamite or other explosives K used. l. will burn without expIod- ing. at least in small quantities. and should not be exposed ta fire as flame
 On account Of the high freight charges on explosives in small lots shipments Of pFotoi cannot be made in less than carload lots fI6 .o0o lbs } and the State Board of Agriculture reserves the right Co cancel all orders and return remittanees to the sender unless individual orders amounting Co i6.000 lbs are obtained. inai- Kidual order will be taken for from 100 Co l000 pounds.
 The State Board of Agriculture will act as distributing agent upon its reception at Hartford. Freight charg- es from Hartford Co destination must be borne by the party ordering.

THE CHURCH CORNER
Bondage

To those of us brought up in this country whose first law is freedom. the natural reaction upon reading the title of this article would be the question 1 and statement. What have we to do with bondage7 We are free people 1" ! But are we? We may declare boldly and glibly, "I am absolutely master of myself and my actions. l live where | like. 1 eat sleep when l like, l am a good or an indifferent neighbor or cit izen, just as you like. am a free indi- vidual" But again the question comes. ! Are wei Let us analyze a little our selves and our actions. Take first the business man or woman. If he or she really want to make what Is called a success of their business, can they really do any of the things 8 truly free man or woman should do? They can not. Their speech is limited to those words which will not impair their likelihood of gaining dollars, of overcoming the competition of their rivals Their thoughts are limited to an overwhelming bondage of egotism. such as. to reach a position In the business world higher than one's com petitor. to accumulate little more money. to keep ones physical body in good condition 80 that t may do it's highest duty in this bondage of ae- eumulation This is a true picture of millions of men and women Of today How can We say it is a life of free domg
 Tn all walks of hfe}it Is the same. The one who wishes to climb high or rule socially Do they. or dare ghey speak simple truth to the many they e0utact3 We are told by these same social leaders that such a course of simple truth telling alone would dis rupt and disintegrate the whole of so- ciety Are these human beings free7 They are ia hos4sge and heavily ii bondage Co thing they call tact. and which is more correctly expressed in the more unpleasant word. untruth.
 But those human beings who see themselves as souls and not as bodies. who realize and Use in all their deal- ings with their fellow men feariessness eLd Freedom the two divine attributes ot the soul, these are free. But any adult human being who allows another Co think Ur Co judge for him or her. without using the power of thought. Qt reason. or of truthful speech, is not free.
 Every being in more or less degree. possesses these powers 0f thought, of reason, which drFerentiates as from the animals, and only those who real ! lze this, who use these faculties. who refuse Co be bound by that which the soul or the voice of conscience warns against, they are the free ones and only free ones of the earth.

HALT RUM AND
NEGR0RUNNING
Revenue Cutter Engages in
Gun Battle With Booze
Craft

West Palm Beach, Fla, Aug. 2S--
P-Firing one pound shells as fast
as its single gun could be loaded and
discharged, revenue cutter engaged
in combat with two vessels Of SNUG
glers and liquor runners inside the
Lake Worth inlet last night and
forced the vessels out to sea, where
the flight was continued.
Capture of the runners was re-
garded certain but had not been re
ported this morning.
Six negro aliens who were being
brought into the United States on
the smuggling craft were seized by
Palm Beach deputy sheriffs, after
they had swan ashore to escape the
revenue cutters shells.
Search was being made for other
aliens who may have escaped last
night
Government prohibition agents on
the revenue cutter unexpectedly
came upon the liquor smuggling
boats, just inside the inlet about
midnight. A searchlight revealed
they were trying to land liquor and
aliens.
Full speed ahead, the boats darted
through the inlet to the ocean with
the cutter in close pursuit.
After firing several warning shots,
the cutter began direct firing but so
far as could be learned none of the
shots took effect.

Threshing throughout central and
southern North Dakota is from two

The grain yield is higher than
originally estimated, but the Soc
Line prediction of 20 per cent dror
as compared with 1924 production
holds, Mellon stated.
In the vicinity directly south and
east of Bismarck. grain yields are
higher than optimistic estimates
made earlier in the season indicate
he declared.
Grain yields which are in nearly
every instance below the average
for last year are erratic, making j,
difficult to arrive at a straight av.
erage. Wabek, Moffit and Wshek
indicate production in these sections
will run over last year. The aver.
age for Coleharbor is the same as
1924.

NEW RAIL LAW
HASTENS RATE
READJUSTME
Repeal CT Rigid Distance
Statute Encourages Re-
duced Tariffs

Operation Of the statute repeating
the rigid distance tariff rate law
which has been in effect in North
Dakota since 1919 should aid materi-
ally in obtaining freight rate adjust
ments, r. M. Hendricks, traffic ex-
pert for the state railroad board
said here today.
"The new statute enables the rail
roads to initiate special reduced rates
from or to any particular points and
on specified commodities, without
making such rates the maximum
elsewhere in the State" said Hen
bricks. 1t also enables the Railroad
Commission to hear petitions foI
special reduced rates and to order
the publication of such special rates
If sufficient showing is made to
sustain an order.
"The rigid distance rate law com.
PEELED the Railroad Commission tc
prescribe rates which are compen.
satory for services rendered in that
part Of the state where operating
and other conditions are less favor,
able and where traffic density is
light. Under the rigid distance rate
law lower rate could not be pub.
lished eastbOund than westbound; 4
lower rate between Fargo and James.
town, for example, on the main-t trans.
continental line of the Northern
Pacific could not be applied thar
for branch line service. Special rates
on farm products such as grain and
livestock, to the industrial centers
of the state could not be published
without making such rates the max.
imum for miscellaneous occasional
shipments anywhere in the state.
"Grand Forks and Fargo are i'm.
portant grain and livestock markets
and in order to successfully compete
with other markets they must have
rates on a relative basis.
"The railroads have already prom.
ised to make certain reductions as a
result of this new statute and the
Commission on its own motion has
instituted q general investigation OF
all intrastate rates and various com.
mercial and shipping interests have
signified their intention of present.
ing their situations with requests TO,
such special consideration as the
facts may warrant. Hearings have
not yet been set but it is expected
that they will be had at the time
that the railroads application for a
general increase in all intrastate
rates is heard, which probably will
be some time this fall"
