Prescriptions for intoxicating liquor
may be filled only by registered pharma-
eists who hold permits authorizing them
to do so, or who are employed by retail
druggists holding such permits. Pharma-
eists and druggists holding such permits

six quarts of distilled spirits during any

BIG CHAIR FACTORY BURNS.
E. H. Whitney Says He Will Not Rebuild
at South Ashburnham.

SOUTH ASHBURNHAM, Mass, Jan.
30.-The large chair factory of Elbridge
II. Whitney, one of the principal indus
tries of this town, was destroyed by fire
that started at 7.30 last night in the
molding room on the second floor, causing
a loss of $4,000, on which there is insur-
ance of $4,000. The storehouse, some
distance away, was not damaged. The
Boston & Maine railroad station caught
fire three times, but was saved.
Mr.. Whitney says he will not rebuild.
He was burned out 20 years ago with
heavy loss. He employed So men.
The building consumed was four stories
high and of frame construction and not
equipped with sprinklers. In the opm-
ion of the firemen, the fire originated from
match or pipe left in clothing worn by
some one of the employees, as the start
of the blaze was far from the boiler or
chimney. Owing to the infiammable con-
tents, the building burned rapidly. The
firemen worked hard in the biting cold,
but were handicapped by the low pres
sure.

private homes. :,
In setting forth the ways in which IL
quor may be procured, Commissioner

against profteering in its sale.
Mr.. Roper also announced that all IL

IOWAN SOCIETY
 ASKS FOR DOPE
 ON BOUNTY LAW
Refuse to Condemn Eagle
 Bounty Law Without Full Knowledge of Facts.

Refusing to join Dr. w T. Hor1a day in condemnlng Alaska for it. Eagle Bounty law, until it is in pos session Of all the facts bearing or the matter. the Iowa Academy of Science recently voted down rcso- lution disapproving of the bount. system and urging preservation oI Inc American Eagle. At the sarnt time the organization appointed q committee to study the matter an'' get whatever information it could to guide the academy in it's final action.
 c. C. Nutting head of the depart ment of Zoology of the University of Iowa, was selected as chairman of the Committee. Tn letter just received by Gov. Thomas Riggs, Dr. Nutting states frankly that the Aca- demy refused to be stampeded by sentiment in acting on the subject and asks that the full facts be com- municated to him.
 He asks for information along six lines First, it is desired to know the reasons which led the Terri torial Legislature to enact the bounty law Second, he asks how many eagles have been killed since the passage of the law and on whlc1 bounty was collected. Third, copy of the law itself is wanted Fourth, what is the present status of tae eagle? Is it being exterminated be- cause of the bounty paid? Fifth. in what way, or ways, does the destruc- tion of the eagle benefit the Terri tory? Sixth. he desires to know what people in Alaska think of the law. What is the sentiment here as to the advisability of retaining the bounty?
 Gov. Riggs states that ;sl of the questions of Dr. Nutting will be given full answers. It is probable that the answers to the recent ques- ionnaire mailed out by the Alaska Fish and Game Club to persons all over the Territory will be used in answering the inquiry.

Cargo Airships 10 Tow
 Other Aircraft Planned


 CARDIFF, Wales, Sept. %. = Low-speed cargo airships for towing ether aircraft were suggested by Wing Commander T. R. Cave Browne-Cave in an address before the Engineering section of the Con ference of the British Association for the Advancement of Science held here.
 When no speed greater than 35 miles an hour is required. and when reasonably favorable weather can he waited for, even small airships can be used over otherwise impos- sible countary, he stated.
 It has been demonstrated that airships with a gas capacity rang ing from 70,000 to 2.400,00 cubic feet can transport at slow speed from 073 to 4S.1 tons when used as airships with crew and machin- cry. and from 13 tC 52 tons when used to dumb vessels
 Such an airship service, the Com mander said, would be of inesti- mable value in civil engineering such as the construction of railways and in prospecting for oil and min erals by transporting material. It would be possible to land enc or two men or even a survey party by means of slings from a strong wire while the airship was practically stationary.

American Charity to Feed
 .2,5OO,O00 Destitute Riddles

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Conferen- ces are in progress between Herbert Hoover, Chairman of the American Relief Association, and officials of the Red Cross, Jewish Joint Distribution Comittee, Y. M. c. A., the Y. w. c. A.. and church bodies both Catholic and Protestant, with a view to joint end cooperative action in the effect i've organization of American charity toward 2.500,O0O destitute children in Europe the coming winter"
 MT. Hoover, it was said. has re- ceived reports from conference of sectional managers of Child Feeding operations abroad which indicate ap- proximately 2,500,000 children of Aus tria, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland. tho Baltic states and other parts of Cen tral Europe, must be fed until the next harvest "to avert an unthink- able tragedy"
 The American relief administra- ton, it was said fed 6000,000 child ren during the winter of 1919. With the gradual improvement in some countries the number of hungry child ren decreased to about 3,250,000 last winter. The funds of the Hoover ad- ministration, it is stated, will be ex- hausted about January 1, next. at which time, unless there is support on large scale, the work will cease or the operations will have to be so curtailed that deaths from starva- ton will rival any casualty list of the great war"

CONVENTION SYSTEM

The electoral campaign has proceed
ed far enough to satisfy all practi-
cal men that the restoration of the
convention system for the nomination
Of candidates is far superior to the
so-called primary with which we have
been cursed for many years. The
fact that millions of dollars subscrib-
Oh Inv selfish interests for selfish pur
noses was subscribed to secure the
nomination of republican candidates
for the presidential nomination in
dicates the weakness of the primary
system. We have had somewhat SINH
lar Illustrations in Idaho, where we
have seen a defaulting state treasur-
er nominated at a primary election,
when every voter in the state was
warned Of his dishonesty. Two years
ago we saw the Democratic party
captured by socialists from North
Dakota, end endless confusion Great
ed, similar thing happened in
North Dakota where the same bunch
captured the Republican state organi-
cation.
Under the convention systm each
county is represented by responsible
citizens, who attend to do what they
think is right and best for their party,
their cities, counties, states and nation
al governments. The delegates
present the very best men from the
several counties for the various state
offices, so that the convention has
wide choice to select from, with the
result that a well-balanced and well |
distributed ticket geographically is
placed before the people for elect
