NATIONAL
BISCUIT co.
COMES BACK
After Absence Of Six Years
Again in N. D.
Withdrew Because of the Net
Weight Law
Is One More Victory for Prof.
E. F. Ladd

After an absence from the state OF
about six years the National Biscuit
Co. has decided to again return to
North Dakota" says Prof. e. #. Ladd
in his latest bulletin. 1T was some
six years ago that. in opposition to
the net weight laws of this state the
National Biscuit Co. declined to con-
tinue to do business in North Dakota.
preferring to withdraw from the state
rather than give the actual weight.
1T has always been source of re-
gret that the company should have
taken such action upon what is be-
lieved to have been bad advice; al
vice which perhaps came from in
nuential sources; it is affirmed even
backed by the support Of United States
senators that the net weight law of
North Dakota would be overthrown
or at least, through political alliances
or pressure, the law could not be en-
forced, Such advice was bad If It was
given. 1t probably misled and de-
ceived the officials who, had they
known the real facts, would have act
ed differently in connection with com
pliance with the requirements of the
state law.
However, the National Biscuit Co.
having decided to re-enter North Da-
kota, have complied with every re-
quirement of the state law in form OF
labelling and have even gone farther
in that they have stated the number
Of crackers in each container as we'll
as the net weight Take for example.
water thin biscuits, 10 cents per pack
age, labeled as Contents average As
biscuits IN ounces, National Biscuit
Co., New York
Thus there is shown not only the
name of the product but the average
number OF biscuits, the average net
weight Of the same for each container.
the name and address Of the nanufac-
turer. as well as the price thereof.
This is long step forward IN the
matter Of labelling and win do much
to bring about reforms which are
desired in the labelling of other classes
of food products"

IMPRISONED men
IN NO DANGER

Sutter Greek, Cal. Feb. S.-Rapid
progress was made last night by res
cuers working to clear the shaft of
Bunker Hill mine, near here, where
sixty mine men were imprisoned yes
terday by a cave-in in the shaft. The
entombed men talked through air pipes
with the rescuers throughout the night.
The men are imprisoned at the 1000
foot level. At intervals during the
night food was passed to them through
the air pipes. s..-
When efforts toward rescue doubled
with the coming Of, the day, prospects
for the liberation of the entombed men
sonts l.ne today were reported bright.
The shaft was blocked when the
cable broke yesterday and the cage
dropped to the 1,OO0-foot level, knock
ing out the timbers and starting a
eave-in. The shaft was choked and
thirty men from nearby mines are
working down through the debris. The
imprisoned men are taking the situa-
tion cheerfully.

USES LINCOLN
AS HIS GUIDE
COL. ROOSEVELT FINDS GOOD
ADVICE IN THE CORRESPOND.
DENcE or PRESIDENT.

New York, Feb. s.-with the cor
respondence of Abraham Lincoln as
a text book and six newspaper report
ers as pupils, Colonel Roosevelt ad-
dressed today what he called his "nrst
class in applied decent politics.
Colonel Roosevelt prefaced his talk
with the declaration that he had tried
to take Lincoln's letters as guide
for himself and he thought excerpts
from many of the martyred presidents
letters would make proper replies TO
questions which are being asked him
daily
One OF Lincoln's letters, especially
Mr. Roosevelt thought, would apply to
conditions confronting him today.
This was letter written at Spring
field on April 6, 1860, to G. Il. Mcneil.
The part emphasized by Mr.. Roosevelt
reads as follows:
Il have made this explanation to you
as a friend; but / wish no explanation
made to our enemies What they
want is a squabble and fuss, and
they can have it If we explain; and
they cannot have it IL we don't"

Puffed Up With Power and
Wealth, Says Works
WOULD DRATIFY THE TREATIES
SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA,
HANDS THE TREATIES PUNCH
WITH ONE HAND AND PATS
THEM ON THE BACK WITH THE
oTHER-uRGEs RATIFICATION.

Washington, Feb. Ratification OF
the pending arbitration treaties with
Great Britain and France. though
lame and impotent as an obligation
peacefully to- settle disputes" was
urged before the senate today by
Senator Works of California. He de-
clared II the representatives of the
three great powers had intended to
exclude from the terms of the agree
ment every dispute that the nation
was likely to go to war about, they
could have done it more effectually.
Questions of national honor, So
called, the Monroe Doctrine, the re-
spective rights Of citizens of contract
ing parties and almost every other
matter of dispute Of any consequence
said Works, "are excluded from the
effect Of the treaties by q definition OF
lustifiable questions. AS a declara-
tion In favor of peace the treaties are
commendable, and as such I support
them. AS a means of settling dis
putes between nations in a way to
avoid war, they are almost wholly
without force or merit"
Works said United States govern
ment was ''puffed up with power and
wealth and consumed with the lust for
more power and greater wealth"
He declared the government could
remove the greatest obstacle to the
attainment Of peace and save millions
Of dollars of unnecessary expense by
surrendering additional territory
across the sea, acquired by little bet
ter than a sham naval battle, followed
by course of deceit and intrigue"
The senator advocated an alliance
between the great powers ito ostra-
else commercially and otherwise any
nation that went to war and to bind
themselves not to increase their
armamerts"

HISTORYOF
The PEST
IS GIVEN
"BugOlOgiSt" Tells About
Bag WOrm-HOW
to Kill II

The bag worm, which is causing so
much havoc with the trees of the city
was discussed this morning by Prof.
J. E. McElroy of the department Of
entomology in the A, & NJ. college. He
explained the nature and origin Of
this worm and gave remeuTes for It's
determination The winter. he say
is the proper time 10 deal successfully
with the pest by picking the mags off
of the trees and completely destroy
ing them. This kills the egg and pre-
vents them from Matching. It is not
too late. however, he says TO deal with
these little tree destroyers now and
he gives two remedies that can be-
used with success.
Prof. McElroy said in his discussion
Of the worm ''The bag so commonly
seen hanging on evergreen trees dur,
ing a greater part Of the year eontams
larva Of the moth, known as the Dag
worm During the fall Of the year,
the wingless female deposits her eggs
in these bags, where they remain dur
ing the winter If the bags are gath
cred at this time and burned, all the
eggs will be DESTROYED. During the
following summer, about July /, the
| eggs hatch into smaflworms or cater
pillars, which begin feeding on the
leaves, at the same time beginning
the construction of the bag and by the
time the worm is fun grown. the bag
is completed. Wherever the larva
moves about. it carries tea oag vita
it About August / the larva trans
forms into the pupa. after which, in
the course of about two weeks, the
adult moths appear, the females be
ing wingless, while the males are fully
winged. The female deposits her eggs
in the old bag for the creation OF a
future generation, and thus the life
cycle is complete with one generation
a year. The best method of EXTERN
nation is to pick the bags off tht
4 trees during the winter months anC
burn them, thus preventing millions
from hatching When the worms firs
appear they can be controlled fairly
well by spraying with Paris green ol
arsenate Of lead. The latter is best
as the former is inclined to burn th'
foliage. The solution for spraying
should be as follows: One pound o
Paris green to $50 gallons Of water
or four pounds OF arsenate Of Leaf
