The twenty-first anual convention of
the North Dakota Pharmaceutical as
sociation was convened in the Com
mercial club rooms this morning at
10 o'clock. President H. H. Bateman
of Cooperstown calling the meeting
to order. Mayor Duis of this city was
introduced and welcomed the visiting,
druggists to Grand Forks on behalf of
the city. The mayor stated in
jocular manner that he felt confident,
by the orders issued to the police
force, that in case of an accident"
happening to any of the visiting or
local members they would be we'll
cared for and as much as possible, all
publicity be avoided. r.
He said that of the many conven-
tions held in this city the druggists
ranked well up in the matter of good
looks. This was not intended as
bouquet by the mayor but in truth and
1t might be said that this has been
commented upon by many of the young
ladies Of the city as we'll as the mayor.
Mayor Duis remarked that the associ-
alton. numerically, was the largest in
the state numbering about 600 men,
bers and that he believed in organiza-,
tion for by it better laws were made
possible and united action was what
secured those laws.
Our local druggists, members of the
organization, were among the best
citizens of this city and he doubted
not but that the members present
were equally prominent in the pro-
gress of their home towns. The
mayor thought that it was wise that
the first two days of the convention
were set aside for business and that
on the third day good time of
social nature was planned upon. He
hoped that the visitors would enjoy
themselves and come again. His re-
marks were received by the conven-
tion with much applause.
Following Mayor Duis, President
Bateman Of the association delivered
the following address,: ~.

upon all its members the necessity
OF attending and contributing to their
usefulness and success by exchanging
ideas. recounting experiences. taking
stock of the future and suggesting
