Will Investigate Pure Food
Act Now in Force. See
If 1t Has '"Teeth"

Members of the North Dakota
Bottlers association at the annual
meeting to be held in Bismarck
January 90, %, will investigate the
pure food act now in force and en-
deavor to learn wether it has teeth"
and if not, to put some teeth in it"
insofar as it relates to the ice cream
or soft drink manufacturing or sales
business according to H. H. Williams
of the Mandan Beverage company,
secretary of the organization.
1t is the contention of Mr.. Wilt
ans that ice cream manufactured for
sale and containing gelatine Or other
ingredients other than flavoring
and cream, should be so labelled and
signs listing ingredients posted at
fountains or other places where sold.
"Too many small producers are add
ing such mixtures" he charged.
Wm D. Bostelman, Chicago, rep
resentative of the National Bottlers
association will be the chief outside
speaker at the convention.
Action for establishment of a
"bottle exchange" will be one of the
main business items before the ses-
sion. Legislation may be, asked of
the 10Th state assembly making it a
misdemeanor for small operators to
appropriate bottles owned by other
manufacturers and in which their
names are "blown" in which to vend
pop and other soft drinks.
According to Secretary Williams
there are small pop manufacturing
plants which never buy bottles of
their own and vend their bottled
goods in containers the property of
as many different manufacturers as
there are bottles to the case.
A law to make such appropriation
of the other fellows bottles mis-
deme.lnor, and establishment by the
bottlers Of an Exchange" to which
all empty containers be shipped,
sorted and returned to the original
manufacturers as designated the
names blown in the glass, "would
eliminate this nuisance" he declared
The North Dakota bottlers are
represented in both houses of the
state legislature, Senator w. S
Whitman of Grand Forks, and Rep
Herman Rabe of Dickinson, being
members of the carbonated beverage
mems association.

DEBT QUESTION
STILL DEBATED
IN CONFERENCE
Great Britain and the United
States Are Getting To-
gether Slowly

Paris, Jan. TO-. Great Britain and
the United States are getting to-
gether slowly "but normally" on the
American reparation claims which
are to finally come before the con-
ference of allied finance mpisters
in session here.
At the end of yesterdays informal
discussions and conferences it was
apparent that the representatives Of
both English speaking countries were
trying to drive a hard bargain. Win
ston Churchill, British chancellor of
the eXchequer, wished to economize,
and the American estimate of war
$3.50 100000, is likely to be whitfield
down before the Anglo -Saxons fin
ally reach the expected accord.
Referred to Governments
American Ambassadors Herrck
and Kellog with James A. Logan, Jr..
United States representative with
the reparation commission, are
standing their ground, but the nego-
tiations. for the time being are up
to the respective governments OF
England and America.
The continental delegations are
watching the deadlock between the
two principal countries, with i'll sup
pressed chuckles.
Belgium's assent to the reduction
of her Spa allotment of reparations
from eight to five and half, and
perhaps five percent, if necessary,
appears to have been the only for
ward step made yesterday. Complete
accord has not been reached on the
Belgian position, as the latter con-
tends she still has about 100000. .O0O
gold francs due her on her priority
claims.
Checking Belgian Receipts
The British aver that Belgium has
already received 2,5OO,O00,0O francs
in reparations, and that three per
cent of her priority, if abandoned by
that country, would be subtracted
from her receipts beginning imme-
diately. Experts will go over q
mass of figures and report to the
delegates before Monday just exactl!
what Belgium actually has received
The American war damage claims
! settlement, however. remains the
/ most important matter before the
conference. Three full days have
elapsed since the conference conven-
ed and the days, except for two yer!
brief plenary sessions, have been al
most entirely occupied by unofficia
and private conversations between
the members of the American ant
British delegations in aR effort t.
reach compromise.
Accord Held Certain
The. net result is that late las
night Ambassador Herrick and Mr.
Churchill are awaiting further in
structions from Washington an
London. Despite assurances of botl
delegations that an accord certainl
! will be reached, the slowness in al
irving at an agreement is causing
feeling of surprise among the Euro
pean delegations from which a cer
tain touch of satisfaction is. not al
together absent.

delegation at the conference of tn
allied finance ministers has agree
that the beginning of the payment

GUN ELEVATION
PREPARATIONS
President Sounds Death knell
For Move to Bring This
About

Washington, Jan. l0.-President
generally regards as the death
knell for the move to bring about the
elevation of guns on the capital ships
Of the American navy.
The views of the president on the
proposal to raise the guns to increase
mistakable definiteness at the White
House. He holds that elevation of
the guns would be return to the
old international competition in arm
aments to which the United States
with the other great powers COM
mtted herself at the Washington
conference. Such an about face in
policy he is prepared to resist with
all the power at his command, con-
fident of the support of American
public opinion.
Interpretation of the naval treaty.
a matter discussed in congress in
connection with the elevation propo-
sition. and economy, point raised
by himself. are in the presidents
opinion minor factors in determining
an answer to the question. The spir

With senate and house naval COM
mittees marking time on the eleva

to push the matter if the admins

tion OF the pres ident's views are gen
orally accepted as meaning the end
for the time of any legislation pro-
viding for the raising of the guns.

that they are handling seed corn from
near Bismarck it will open the eyes
of the farmers in these other states
more than any printed matter it
would be possible to send out, for
seeing is believing"
There will probably be nearly fifty
cars of corn shipped out for this
purpose, meaning sixty to seventy
thousand bushels. The coming year
will see a still larger demand, even
with good crops Of corn elsewhere.
Despite the poor quality of con-
siderable of our corn, and from all
reports it is better than that in 9th
er states, the season of 1924 has been
a good corn year for US here. The
season was cold and late, there was
no good drying weather during the
fall and any corn which properly ma
tured, to be good for seed, will be
very hardy and strong and of much
better future quality.
