Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 6.-Bills pro-
posing the establishment Of second
asylum for the insane, presented in
the present session Of the legislature
and based upon the constitutional
amendment adopted in the last general
election which authorizes the con-
struction Of second asylum, will fail
Of passage at this session.
The state affairs committee Of the
senate, which has two bills proposing
locations for the proposed asylum, has
been supplied with information by the
board Of control indicating that it will
be seven or eight years before the
population OF the jamestown asylum
will reach point necessitating the
establishment OF a second institu-
ton.
During the past year there has been
a net gain in the asylum population Of
only 107-which- is low in comparison
with previous years. This small gain
in population, 1t Is pointed out, If con-
tinued. will result in bringing the total
population to about 1000 In seven or
eight years.

Will Not Establish
New Insane Asylum;
Fewer Going Crazy
tBz II. D. tPauIson.,

IPauison.) t...... a..s
Board Of control members hold the
opinion that 1t will not be necessary
to establish a second asylum until the
1000 mark has been attained.
When that point is reached, sec
ond asylum could be established under
the authority provided in the constitu-
tonal amendment enacted by the peo-
pie in the last general election. 1t
would then be proposed to maintain
the population OF the Jamestown
asylum at about 1,700. and build the
new asylum from year to year as the
demand grows.
Students Of the insanity problem in
this state are satisfied that a big fac
tor in the reduction OF insanity has
been the elimination Of SNUFF sales.
While SNUFF still Is shipped into the
state for individual users, the con-
sumption is far below that prior to
the state lid. Insanity experts main
tain that snuff Is responsible for many
cases of insanity, and they contend
that the North Dakota showing in the
reduction Of insanity bears out their
contention.

of the warehouses at Cape of Good
Hope are crowded with buriap. British
vessels brought their cargoes to that
port where they were taken over by the
government for transport or other
service. This compelled the unloading
OF the cargoes at the South African
port.
Dundee, Scotland, the greatest manu-
featuring city in the world Of burlap
products, is also cut of from this coun-
try. The mills and warehouses in that
city are crowded with the manufactur-
ed product awaiting shipment.

CROWDEDWI BURLAP--BIG
SCARCITY In UNITED STATES

On account of the shortage of burlap,
1t is almost impossible to purchase po-
tato sacks, and it may be necessary for
ond hand bags in the future. Ordinari-
ly sacks could be bought in carload lots
for about cents each. Since the war
the price has been climbing up until
1t has reached Is cents, with no sacks
or material in sight. Bag manufacture
ers are having great difficulty in filling
orders taken last fall, and most of the
local dealers and shippers have been
short of stock for several months.
Leslie Welter placed an order last
October with one of the leading bag
manufacturing companies OF the coun-
try for so, sacks for February de-
livery The company now notifies him
that they will do their best to get out
part of the order during February.
Burlap, from which the potato sacks
are made, is product of India, but the
war has made it impossible to get the
material through to this country. All
