FOOD LAW
DOES NOT suit
Chicago Wholesale Houses OBJ
iect to Some of the
StipuIations.
CONFER WITH GOVERNOR
The Label Clause, Requiring the Name
CT the Manufacturer, Location of
the Factory, Etc, Is the
Bone of Contention.

Pierre, S. D., tune &c. e. New.
ton, representing ..le firm of Reid, Muir
dock & Co, and other Chicago whole
sale houses, was in TIE city for a con-
ference with Governor Elrod in regard
to a certain provision of the pure food
law which goes into effect the first of
July. 1t appears that the trouble is
with the construction which E. w.
Small, the state pure food commission
er, places on section II of the act. This
section is:
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
son to sell, offer or expose for sale,
any article of prepared foods unless
the true name of the manufacturer
and the location of the factory where
such articles of food is prepared is
plainly printed or stenciled on the
packages, box, car carton or other
contafner.' g,
Commissioner Small constructs this
strictly and demands hat it be COM
piled with literally. The large whole
sale houses ask for a slightly different
ruling. Their contention is that his
provision in it's intent is to fix the re-
sponsibility where products not up to
standard are offered for sale. They
say the brands of their houses do this.
That they secure their products some
from one factory and at other
from another. That they AXE
the product Of such factory and affiN
their brands on the packages, and that
in cases of impure foods they are re-
sponsible. That they nave built up a
trade on their special brands, and that
to demand that the factory brand be
placed on the goods will mean frequent
changes of labels and damage to the
trade they have built up on their
brands of goods. That the state will
gain nothing by a strict construction
Of the law, and is amply protected by
brands of their firms, as they will
be compelled TO stand back OF any
product which they so mark, regardless
Of the particular factory which puts
1t up.

Held at Sioux Falls.

'iSid az otoAH ais.
Sioux Falls, S. D., June 24.-The an
nual convention of the Tri-State Grain
Dealers association. which has just
been held in this city, was the most
successful ever held by the ~organiza-
tlon, both as to attendance and the
interest displayed by those present.
The nnual election Of officers resulted
IN the reelection of the following for
the coming year: President, A. F.
Bremen. Minneapolis; vice president,
p. A. Brown, Luverne, Mimi; score
tary-treasurer, ]. j. Quinn, Minneap-
oils.
A governing beard composed of the
following persons was elected foc the

". 3. Parsons, 'Winona; W. II. Cham
bers, Minneapolis; Geo. II. Shanard,
Bridgewater; F. S. Kingsbury, Heron
Lake; David Williams, Webster.
The annual report of Secretary Quinn
among other things showed that there
are LOO elevator men III the territory
covered by the association. This is a.
substantial increase over the number
one year ago.
The resolutions as adopted by the
convention indorse President Roose-
VeltS position on the. railroad rate
question. The state Legislature of South
Dakota is asked to make a larger APP
preparation for experimental purposes
at the state agricultural college ar
Bookings. 1t was pointed out that the
state now appropriates $1,000 per year.
While North Dakota's appropriation Is
$4,000 per year, and Minnesota gives
an the money needed without limit for
this %laudabie purpose.
While the place for holding the next
annual convention of the association
was not selected, it is known that Il
large number CT the members favor
SlOux Falls, owing to its being cen
trally located in the territory embraced
In the association. A selection will
be made by the governing board at q
future meeting Of the board.

land Is cleared of underbrusf and the
vine cutting, which should be about
eighteen inches long, are planted be-
side suitable trees, left standing for
the purpose. As soon as the joints COM
mence to sprout they throw out ten
drills, which cling t~enaciously to the
trees, and soon form climbing vines,
which after three to four years, com-
7nence to bear. In the fifth year the
vine will be in full bearing, and will
produce from fifteen to forty beans.

Mexican (S.S2 to AT cents United

nave been known to sell as high as IS
cents (S.59 cents) apiece. The cured

TO render its owner independent for the

Mormonism Outdone.

Ordinary divorce is not sufficiently
sensational to be the fashionable
vogue. Fer awhile divorced COUPLES
followed the fashion of Immediate re-
turn into new matrimonial partner
ships, but the latest divorce fad is for
the man and woman to marry over
again This, observes the New Yorl,
World, is a novelty which will doubt
less find imitators among the newly
rich. In the last case of this kind the
woman made proper terms with her
husband IN requiring him to pay sS3.-
600 to he man who in East side par
lance would be called her gentleman
friend This man and his wife were
divorced, and he preferred marrying
another previously married woman
rather than the one who already owed
him $4,000. When one reads the ac-
counts Of these Kaleidoscope affairs
the Mormons seem decent and respect
able by comparison.
