HEALTH BILL IS

Convention.

Y This Morning.

The second days session of the
thirty-second annual convention OF
the North Dakota Pharmaceutical as
ISOLATION was opened this morning
with an address by Thomas H. Potts,
secretary OF the National Association
of Retail Druggists. who paid special
attention to the vital subject of health
Insurance. Mr.. Potts was followed
by J.. 8. Bailey, who spoke about re-
tail merchandising in its various de-
tails.
Today's sessions were attended by
many more delegates than yesterday.
( Mr.. Potts discussed several features
Of the so-called Stephens-Ashurt bill
and also Of the supplementary meas
introduced in congress by Represent
tative Clyde Kelly Of Pennsylvania.
The war revenue had
caused retail druggists a great deal of
apprehension, MI. Potts said, and he
added that the doubling of he reve-
nue. tax on alcohol was also a very
serious thing; yet the druggists, as
thoroughly loyal citizens, had &C
cepted the inevitable and submitted
gracefully.
The health insurance measure in
its present form. vas denounced by
Mr.. Potts, who said:
Measure Paternalistic.
: "Ostensibly, the purpose of the pro-
jected health insurance plan is to
provide better medical service for the
General public, and at a lower cost.
In its general aspects, the bill pur-
posed to inaugurate the plan SAVIOR
largely of unwise socialistic, or pa
ternalistic, governmental functioning
to the extent of meddling.
Retail druggists have a twofold
interest in the health insurance pro-
ject. In the first place, they must
consider their liability as employers
and its cost. Secondly, they must
consider the effect of state medicine
upon the prescription business and the

MONEY YIELD
OF WHEATCROP
WILL Be GOOD
Grand Forks County Will
Have Average Produc-
ton Of 10 Bushels.

The Grand Forks county wheat
yield will fall below the normal, but
will average much better than last
year, according to Edgar I. Olsen,
county agent. With the harvesting of
wheat becoming general throughout
the county, Mr.. Olsen is making a
careful investigation of the situation,
and the results Of his first trip have
been unusually satisfactory.
Mr.. Olsen estimated today hat the
average yield this year would be ten
bushels to the acre, while last year it
vas six or seven bushels. This years
wheat Is Of a much better quality,
however, and so far as actual results
are concerned, will mean more than
IN ordinary ten bushels. This is due
to the extraordinary market and price
conditions. The normal yield in this
county is thirteen bushels.
Yesterday Mr.. Olsen visited the
Marvel district and found there a
number Of, splendid fields that will go
25 or 80 bushels. These fields are
along the river, however; Int in the
most fertile section Of the county.
Good Crops in South Section.
The crops south Of Grand Forks
and in the Observation-Disclosures dis
trict also are exceptionally good, he
said. While the yield will not be SO
great as in the Marvel section, he
estimated that some Of the fields will
go over 20 bushels to the acre. The

SHERIFF GETS
ORDERS ON THE
NEAR BEERS
One Brand Of Chewing To
bacco Also Under the
Ban.

Sheriff A. F. Turner today in an
undated letter received notice from
the attorney general to the effect that
the sale of a number Of varieties of
so-called temperance beverages must
cease forthwith. X.
The document says that tests and
malts, liquors and near beers
should be absolutely and Immediate
ly prohibited
The attorney general then enumer-
ates the following brands:
Bevo, Bevetone, Sociable, Dempse's
Extra, Uablo, Cream of Hops, Barma,
Heileman's Delight, Hamm's Malt,
Malt Tonic, White Seal, Malta, Non
Toxo, Zumalo, Tannhauser, Rex
Nutrio, Elf Fig and Vivo.
To this list is added, written in ink,
presumably by the attorney general
''and also other near beers or sub
~stitutes and W. B. chewing tobacco"
In the list of beverages originally
were included Budd, Non Alec, Jus
Rite, Sobriety and Golden Grain
Malt. but for some unknown reason
a pen stroke has removed them from
the list of varieties which must not
be sold.
Sheriff Turner said today that his
office will Immediately proceed to mott:
fly all dealers that they must not sell
any Of the beverages specified in the
list. A fair warning will be given in
accordance with the arbitrary in
structions. although he says he be-
lieves many are selling these goods
innocently.
The fact that a certain brand OF
chewing tobacco had been included in
the list Of "malts, liquors and near
bear" occasioned mild surprise
here today and no one questioned was
able to assign a reason for this.

Bare New Plot
To Wreck Great

WASHINGTON. July 3. - Secret
investigation by government agents
has disclosed the existence of a great
conspiracy to destroy or hinder
shipping on the Great lakes and
thereby delay organization of Amer

of food and munition material from

Treaty of 1927 Protects Yes.
sells Under Construction

LONDON, Saturday, Oct. 81. - The
Norwegian Foreign Office has published
a statement to the effect that under
the terms of the treaty of 1927 between
the United States and the dual mon
archy of Norway and Sweden the
United States is prohibited from seiz-
ing Norwegian ships under construc-
ton in America, Central News dis
patch from Copenhagen reports. The
Foreign Office adds that there is rea-
son TO believe the United States will
acknowledge the treaty and act in
accordance Herewith.
In 1927, when the commercial treaty
cited above was concluded between the
United States and Norway and Sweden,
the latter two countries had maintained
Joint foreign relations for seventeen
years. Legal experts of the Shipping
Board at Washington stated several
days ago that treaties would prevent
the Communicating of Norwegian and
Swedish vessels under construction in
American yards. so undoubtedly the
same treaty rights apply to Norwegian
ships.
The case of Dutch vessels is held to
be different, as both Danish and Nor
wegian ships have shown less hest
fancy about going through the subma-
rine zone than Dutch ships, the ma
iority of which have been held in por-
for months

OF special interest to Mr.. Wilson, &C

whose morale has such tremendous eff

"How do the people talk" What
do they think" "How strong is their

answers.
So far the answers almost univer-
