IL addition to placing in grave dan
ger the lives of the nurses who
occupy the building
In my opinion, not only from

point Of view, this building should
be replaced with new firepro0f
building.
DR.. Simon reported that two
buildings are being used as sleep
ing quarters, one q three-story
building and the other a single
story structure
The single-story building he

County Agent Urges
Ordering of PyrOtOl

Pyrotol, the war explosive, now
being salvaged by the government is
nearly exhausted. A special effort
is being made this spring by the
government, state and county depart
ments to dispose of the quantities of
this material now on hand.
Orders are now being taken to ship
in a carload of this Pyrotol for land
clearing purposes, particularly for
large stones and stumps now obstruct-
ing fields and causing damage to ma
chinery, loss of time and crops and a
general nuisance in field. Three
counties are going in together viz.
the car is to come in on the M. & ST.
L. r. R.
By ordering in this manner this ex-
plosive can be laid down here at the
old price of $3.50 per 100 lbs, which
was f. o. b. Minnesota Transfer, so
that the cost of freight can be saw
ed to all who wish to order now.
Farmers who need any blasting ma
terial or expect to use any within the
next few years should place their
orders with the county agent at once.
If there are not enough orders of
course the car will not be shipped in
because no Pyrotol will be shipped in
that is not ordered and paid for in
advance unless arrangement is made
for it at the bank for settlement up
on arrival of the car.
The material will keep for years if
kept dry so a supply fer future use
may be stocked in order to take ad-
vantage of this extremely low price.
This may be the last opportunity to
buy explosives at this price. The
sooner it is disposed IF the better
dynamite dealers will be pleased.
1t is more powerful than dynamite;
it goes farther; it is easier to handle;
and is far more efficient at the pres
ent prices. This offer is only made to
assist the government in disposing of
this material. Send in your orders.

County Agent.
