Re eee BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE “ MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1017: EQUITY MEN WILL CATHER FOR MEETING American Society, Co-Operators’ Union and State Societies to Be Represented GOVERNOR FRAZIER TO WELCOME FARM MEN Big Meetings to Open Wednesday Morning and Will Continue Until Ninth Open consideration of problems re- lating to the Equity packing plant, Equity rural credits, grain grading and inspection and co-operative buying and selling will be the red-hot issues to be molded into shape for definite ac- tion at the annual convention of the North Dakota Society of Equity, to be held here Feb. 7, 8 and 9. The address of welcome will be given by Governor Lynn J. Frazier of North Dakota. Representatives from the American Society of Equity, the Co-operators’ union, the Grange and other farm or- ganizations akin to the Equity will be in attendance. Leaders are confi- dent the attendance will be between 2,000 and 3,000 farmers, depending to a large extent on weather conditions. The municipal auditorium has been engaged for the sessions which are ex- pected to fill the building three times daily. With Non-Partisan league members in the city in session at the state legislature, the attendance, it is believed, will surpass that at the last meeting of the Tri-State Grain Growers’ association held in Fargo. NO SET PROGRAM. Railroad and Warehouse Commis- sioner M. P. Johnson has the program in charge. He announced today that there will be no set schedule of ad- dresses. He further declared that Equity members are not coming to Bismarck with blood in their eyes to Place their movement over that of the] 4 Nonpartisan league, but that the prin- ciples for which the Equity contends are in many respects similar to the plank of the Nonpartisans and that in- stead of war there will be perfect har- G Romberg.

Shu- bert, is of Viennese origin, the American book being by Edgar Smith, wh o based it on the Austrian one by Leo Stein, the latter being remembered as the one responsible for the librett o of “The Merry Widow.” The music is by Edmund Eysler and the lyrics by Hebert Reynolds, with additional numbers by Sigmund All the scenes of the operetta are laid in the Austrian capit al, although there are Americans who igure in the story. The Messrs Shubert are sending the Casino production of “The Blue Paradise” and an excellent company, many of whom are still in their original roles.

Andergon of St. Paul, pregi- ciety, on‘tentative plans for the con- dent of the Equity exchange, who ar- rived in Bismarck the first of this week to size up the legislature and to confer with Commissioner’ Johngon, president of the North Dakota so- nee trent ene: LISTEN TO THIS! - | SAYS CORNS LIFT RIGHT OUT NOW } Se eee et ee! You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once.a week invited an awful death from <lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn, the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out with the fingers. It is a sticky ether compound which dries the moment it is applied and simply shrivels the corn without inflam- ing or even irritating the surround- ing tissue or skin. It is claimed that @ quarter of an ounce of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but 1s sufficient to rid one’s feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You are further warned that cutting at a corn is a suicidal habit, vention. It‘Was the second visit of the St. Paul man/in Bismarck since the legislature Opened, his first appear- ance with J.‘C. Crites, general sales- manager of the Equity, being to lobby for the location of the state-owned ter- minal at St. Paul. That the sessions will be filled with pyrotechnics is as- convention two years ago vouchsafes such an assertion. EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION. “Surely we are going to recommend state-owned elevators and flour mills,” stated M. P. Johnson. “The locations may not come up at the meetings, but will be decided later. It is not an en- dorsement of the Equity program, but of the original Equity principles. We are not coming here as a business nor a political ‘organization, simply educa- tional.” E, Strauby of the Equity Produce Selling agency of Chicago, is slated to give an address on the subject of “Co-operative Buying and Selling,” which will probably be the main ad- dress for the first day. Representatives from the Minnesota, tite Wisconsin and the Montana state unions will also be invited to the platform to tell of the progress of the Equity move- ment in their respective states. J. M. Anderson of St. Paul; J. G. Crites of St Paul, formerly of Lisbon; M. P. Johnson of Bismarck; A C. Townley of Fargo; D. C.
