satisfied in the west, and desired t.
return home.
The conclusion was reached by both
father and son that, by the use of
nourishing and proper food, fresh air
and well-ventilated sleeping quarters:
cure could be effected in the home
county as we'll as it could in the west.
This course was decided upon and the
boy returned home.
But the weakness in the system
was revealed when it was learned that
the father had been sleeping with the
boy. This fact not only makes the
father subject to the disease, but it
also increases the danger of infection
of other members of the family. The
close association of father and son is
said to be very unwise.
This is condition which may ex-
ist in other homes in the county and
which will be remedied when the tu-
berculosis nurse begins her duties.
Under her direction, this young man
may be restored to good health with
out endangering the lives of his faith
er and other members of his family.

effect by bank loans was depreciating
the value of all money, including
gold itself. Under ordinary condi-
tions. with the rest of the world on
the gold basis, as before the war,
such an increase of bank loans in the
United States. accompanied by rising
prices. would have turned the trade
balance against this country, caused
exports of gold. and by the loss of
bank reserves compelled restric-
ton of lending, but with the trade
balance heavily in our favor this
steadying influence was not in effect.
1t has been charged that the Fed
eral Reserve authorities and other
bankers set out deliberately to dehate
prices. but this is not the case. They
set out to check the alarming increase
of bank loans and TO hold the volume
of reserve bank liabilities within the
limit fixed by the law
In the tall Of 1919 the country was at
the parting of the ways. The reserves
of the Federal Reserve banks were
down practically to the limit set BY
the Federal Reserve Act-a| limi,
fixed with careful and unbiased judg-
ment when the act was passed before
the war. The Federal Reserve Act
provides that the reserve require
ments may be suspended for a period
Of thirty days and thar such suspen-
sion may be renewed for periods not
exceeding fifteen days. but these are
clearly emergency provisions. More
nvcr. the law provides that a grad
'atcd tax shall be levied upon the
AMOUNT by which these reserves fall
,clow the rc2ula~ limit. and also that
he rate OF the tax shall be added to
he regular discount rates while the
deficiency continues. These pro-
visions clearly show the purpose and
spirit Of the law.
The banking situation at the close
Of 1919 had practically reached the
position where tlic law required these
provisions 20 hc 'nrn rfccti-c md

erai Reserve banks 20 increase ,;5- :
count rates were for that purpose.
There was no sudden stop in the in
crease Of loans; in fact the aggregate
continued 70 grow until the fall of
1920. Moreover. the record shows
that the prevailing impression that
the reserve banks have Disseminated |,
against the agricultural sections is 1
not borne out by the record. An
analysis OF reports from about $500
mernb Der banks throughout the coun-
try has been made by the Federal
Reserve Board, which shows that be-
tween May 4, 1920, and April %,
1921, the borrowings from the Fed |
cral Reserve banks in agricultural
counties increased 56.6 Se- cent Il
Borrowings by banks III semi-agti-
cultural counties remained practic-
ally stationary; and borrowings by
banks in non-agricultural counties
declined 2S.5 per cent.

PROCLAMATION
EDUCATIONAL WEEK

Whereas, The President of the
United States, by his solemn procla-
nation, has set apart the week of De-
cember fourth to December tenth, in
elusive, 1921, as American Education
Week, and
Whereas, such splendid organiza-
tions as the American Legion and the
National Educational Association of
the United States have undertaken the
task Of furthering this great move
ment, and
Whereas, since statehood the COM
monwealth Of North Dakota has ever
been mindful of the great and lasting
benefits Of we'll developed and state
wide system of public schools, it is
especially fitting that we, as citizens
of this great state, should heed the
advice and suggestions contained ig
our Presidents proclamation;
Therefore, l, R. A. Nestos, Governor
of the State of North Dakota, do set
apart the week of December fourth to
tenth, inclusive, as
EDUCATIONAL WEEK
in this state, and l do urge upon the
people of the state that special study
and consideration be made of the
needs and aims Of the educational in
stitutions in their respective COM
munities.
1t is further recommended that all
the schools of the state, as we'll as all
public bodies and organizations, ar
range demonstrations in the form of
programs, or otherwise to especially
emphasize the value of our education
al institutions, not alone to the COM
munity, but to the state and nation
as we'll and, further, that our school
facilities in their many forms may be
brought to the attention of those cit
liens who have not heretofore en-
joyed the advantages of our school
system. All to the end that new and
old citizens alike may learn to more
thoroughly appreciate and honor our
state and nation, and to understand
and feel the true significance of the
title: "Citizen of the United States
CT America"
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the Great
Seal of the State of North Dakota
to be affixed at the Capitol at Bis
marck this fifth day of December, A
D. 1921.

OlQ you go TO Cne oCdLe 1edcHefS

hear Opie Read lecture on Human
Nature and Politics?" If you did you
We that satisfied feeling this morn
ing. If you didn't you certainly miss
ed a real entertaining and educational
talk. The majority of our readers
must be in the latter class as the at
tendance was not what should be ex-
pected for a lecture Of this class:
Opie Read is a writer and lecturer of
national reputation. His experiences
have been varied and he seems to have
learned somthing from all of them:
The ordinary citizen of this part of
the country does not have the oppor-
tunity to hear speakers of this cali
bre very often and it seems a pity
that more people do not avail them
selves of the opportunity then the oc-
casion offers. The Lecture Course
committee are to be commended for
their efforts which result in bringing
men of Mr.. Reads undoubted ability
to Valley City, and their efforts are
deserving of better support OF the
citizens here.
Before introducing the speaker Of
the evening Prof. Wemet of the State
Teachers College made an appeal to
those present to use their efforts in
trying to influnce others to attend the
offerings of the lecture course COM
mittee so that these lectures and en-
tertainments could be continued next
wear. Without better support it is IN
evitable that these activities will have
to be discontinued as such men of note
as Mr.. Read cannot be brought to VAL
lev CITY without the attendance OF
more of the citizens. While the busi-
ness men of the city are bearing more
than their share of the burden the
committee feels that their efforts are
worthy of better patronage than the
other people are giving them. Prot.

Included in the above-named

what effect further changes in their

fast enough to catch up with the de-

that there is tendency for revenues

PRISON SENTENCES
FOR TRUST LEADERS
Tile Men Are Sentenced to Jail by
New York Judge Following
Conviction.

New York City-Indications today
were that for the first time since the
passage of the Sherman act, violators
of the anti thrust measure would actual
ly serve time behind prison bars.
Four active members of the Tile,
Crate and Mantel Manufacturers and
Dealers association who last week
pleaded guilty to violation Of the act
after their methods had been revealed
by the Lockwood legislative commit
tee investigating the building trades,
this morning received jail sentences
from Federal Judge Van Fleet, ranging
from two to four months.
United States Attorney Haywood de-
clared that the quartet soon would be
on their way to the Essex county, New
Jersey Jail, because it would be impos-
sible for them to appeal from the sent
ence after having pleaded guilty.
Declaring that today's jail sent
ences formed landmark in antitrust
enforcement in the United States,
Mr.. Hayward saide
although the Sherman antitrust
law has been on the statute books since
July 2, 1890, no prison term has ever
been served Hitherto, while criminal
prosecutions have been brought from
time to time, judges have been I'M

HARDING APPROVES
ANTI-BEER BILL
Puts His Signature to Bill to End
Medicinal Beer This
Morning.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire. J


Washington, D. C. = The anti-beer
bill was signed today by President
Harding. Signature of tn, bill auto
maticaily closed the gap in the ma
tons prohibition laws revealed last
March by Attorney General Palmer in
an opinion that there was nothing in
the Volstead act to preclude the pre-
scription of beer as medicine.
Prohibition advocates, soon after
publication of Palmer's ruling evolved
the bill which in a somewhat changed
form was today made law. Anti
prohibitionists waged a determined
fight with the result that final legis-
lative action was held off for several
months.
Treasury officials because of the
pending legislation withheld issuance
of regulations making descriptions of
beer possible until last month. Since
then about half dozen brewers OBJ
tanned permits to manufacture beer
for medical purposes but owing to
changes made necessary in instruc-
tions to prohibition directors and 9TH
er officials it is not believed much
beer has been prescribed as medicine.
The bill signed today in addition to
outlawing medicinal beer provide that
no more than one fourth gallon of
vinous liquors or vinous or spirituous
liquors separately, or in the aggregate
containing more than one half pint
of alcohol may be prescribed in 10
days; that physicians shall be limited
to one hundred prescriptions for such
liquor in ninety days unless extraor-
binary reason is prescribed; that i'm
portation of spurious or vinous liq-
uor is prohibited until the amount on
hand shall not be sufficient to supply
the current need for non-beverage
uses; that private residences may not
be searched without a search warrant
and that the courts of Hawaii and the
Virgin Islands are given jurisdiction
to enforce the national prohibition act.

NO AGREEMENT ON
( LAND DISARMAMENT
Disarmament Conference Hears Re-
ports an Land Armaments But
Delays Action.

Washington.-The delegations of the
five powers discussed land armament
today, but no definite declaration Of
policy resulted from their delibera-
tions. None of the powers, it was UNI
derstood, presented any proposal look
ing toward a concrete pronouncement
supporting the French attitude toward
army reduction as outlined to the full
conference in plenary session Monday
by Premier BRAND
Premier BRAND attending his last
meeting of the armament group be-
fore his departure for France, made a
brief presentation of the exposition of
his government and it was said that a
general discussion followed along the
lines of that in which the powers ex-
pressed general appreciation of the
French position at Mondays session.
The debate led the delegates into a
consideration of specific problems of
land ornaments and it decided to ap-
point subcommittee to deal with such
subjects as airplanes, poisonous gases
and other auxiliary means of warfare
After the 21R-hour session was over,
the French premier, despite the failure
to make joint declaration of policy,
expressed general satisfaction with the
direction the discussions had taken.
1t was also indicated by the French
delegates that M. BRAND would return
to France confident that his nations
attitude had the sympathetic under
standing of the national groups and
that France had nothing to fear from
subsequent negotiations on land arm
aments.
Appointment by Japan of Masanao
Hanihara, vice foreign minister, as a
delegate to the armament conference,
was communicated today by the state
department.
Heads of delegations of the five
powers agreed to meet later in the day
to form the subcommittee and to
consider duties of the subcommittee
