ENPLOYS OR EE DEVICE 70 INSURE BUSINESS HONESTY Necessity Developed When Packers and Canners At- tempted to Deceive CALLS FOR SLEUTHING WORK Countless Tests Made It Neces- sary for Producers to Main- tain Standards Washington, April 22,— (NEA) —A mechanical set of false teeth that determines the tenderness of meats, a glass “stomach” that digests food like human organs, a camera for Photographing the inside of an egg, and rats and guinea pigs for other unique purposes—all have a part in ‘the U. S. Department of Agriculture's job of keeping food fit for consumers The primary purpose of the de- partment is to offer help and ad- vice to farmers, but about 24 years ago, through the shady work of some food canners, meat packers and dariymen, it was found necessary to create the Food and Drug Adminis- tration. This department sets stan- dards for pure foods and drugs and sees that producers maintain the standards. Today this work ts highly scien- tific and is carried on in '7 offices of the department throughwut the country. An idea of how designing packers have tried to work schemes for pass- ing inferior foodstuffs on the market can be seen from one of many inci- dents reported by the department. Some Fancy Sleuthing An inspector examining some im- ported olive oil found, through an analysis of a few of the cans, that they contained nothing but cotton- seed oil. It was determined ‘hat handles of the can had been removed and that the cottonseed oi! wat poured into the cans throush the holes left by the handles. Then the handles were soldered back on In this way the importer saved the expensive olive oil and put the whole- some, but much cheaper oil on the market. sumer, however, for the entire lot was seized and the importer prosecuted. Laws of the pure food act say that all food must be labeled. If snferior products are labeled superior io tests by government chemists, the products are taken off the market aru the manufacturer must relabel them. In the last 24 years more than 17,000 cases of violation under the food and drug act have been brought to justice by federal officials. This entailed the sampling of millions of lots of food. All farm products, from vegetables to meats that are to be put on the market by commercial organizations, must be tested by chemists ani other experts of the department. These lots are brought in and labeled for tests. If canned food, the cans are ex- amined for content by weight and volume and the purity of the con- tents is tested. Then the labels are examined to see if the contents are misrepresented. In some cases, when a procuct is brought in which is advertised as be- ing rich in nutritional value, ‘he food is fed to guinea pigs, rats, rabbits and cats to see if the advertised re- sults are obtained. If not, the prod- uct is removed from the market. In a corner of one of these govern- ment test laboratories a cheriist is testing a bottle marked “smith’s Malarial Remedy.” He tests the liquid to see how much quinine it contains. If it does not contain enough quinine, it is branded illegal. | ga, Search For Impurities In another corner is a man testing a yellow powder. This is dried egg and is being tested to see whether it is produced from fresh or rotten eggs. ‘Next to the chemist is a young wom- an studying a substance through a miscroscope. It proves to be a sample of prepared mustard and she ‘s look- ing for perticles of starch in it which is forbidaen by law. On the other side of her is another chemist watching test tubes Into one of these he has placed some “nu- trient media” or bacteria food. Then he takes a small portion of the con- tents of a can of peas, for instance. If, afr a day or so, the contents of the tube become cloudy, it is then known that the contents of the can were tainted and that bacteria were present to feed upon the “nutrient media” when placed there. Out of these counfless tests have grown better food practices by com- mercial producers. The contents of canned food are strictly up to stan- dard. Meats are inspected at every packing house by government men, and all dairy products must undergo STICKERS Tt never reached tie con-{has potentialities for developing into | {Mandan for the put on the market.

COOPERATIVE SPIRIT GROWING IN IMPORT, CREDIT BUREAU TOLD Rev. Gilbert W. Stewart Speaks | at Annual Banquet of | Credit Organization Declariag that the Missouri Slope tne greatest section of North Dakota, | Rey. Gilbert W. Stewart, Mandan, Tuesday evening told members of the Bismarck-Mandan Credit Bureau | that future growth depends upon co- | operation. The Mandan pastor was the prin- cipal speaker at the annual banquet of the organization, which was held in the World War Memorial building, Bismarck. He pointed out that as civilization develops and population grows, divi- sion of labor becomes more minute. This law, he said, makes cooperation essential, He lauded Bismarck and cooperation they have exhibited in the past, pointing to the credit bureau, itself, as one example. ‘Three new directors of the organi- zation were elected Tuesday for three-year terms. They Sommerfeld, Mandan Tran Pany; Roy Logan, of Logan's G i Store, Bismarck; and Robert B. Webb, of Webb Brothers Furniture com- pany, Bismarck. Retiring directors are representatives of Finney’s Drug Store and the Brown and Tiedman grocery store, both of Bismarck, and the Cummins company, Mandan. Directors continuing service are representatives of the Gamble Robin- son company, Drs. Rawlings and Towne, Bowman Furniture company, Capital Chevrolet company, all of Bismarck, and the Bingenheiner Mer- cantile company and the Vallancey Brothers Hardware company, Man- n. Maurice J. Ratzlaff and Forrest M. Davis, both of Bismarck, and H. W. Lanterman, Mandan, were named members of an auditing committee to inspect the organization's books for the last year. Burt Finney, Bismarck, retiring president, presided at the banquet, at ‘—A Series Explaining the Contract Bridge System— By WM. E. MCKENNEY Secretary American Bridge League A quick trick is a high card which will, in practically every instance, take @ trick on the first or second round of the play in that suit. Occasionally, , Of course, our aces will be trumped on the first round, but this is so rare that we should not allow it to influ- ence our high card trick values, therefore an ace is always counted as @ quick trick. An ace, king can be counted upon to take the first and second round of that suit, therefore it is valued as two quick tricks. A king and queen of the same suit count one quick trick. Either the king or the queen will force out the ace and the other will take the second round. When a high card has better than @ 50-50 chance to win a trick on the first or second round im the play of that suit, it is counted as one-half trick. A guarded king is given the value of one-half trick. It will be in- teresting to note that four kings, over @ period of time will take more tricks than two bare aces, so we are safe in calling a king one-half trick. An ace, queen is given the value of one and one-half tricks as the only time the queen will lose is when the king is on the left of it. The simplest table for quick tricks is as follows: . 2 quick tricks 11% quick tricks 1% quick tricks quick trick quick trick cool King, queen . wel King, x + % quick trick Queen, ji % quick trick It will be ne from the above table that at no time are more than two tricks counted in any one suit. It is quite true that if you hold ace, king and queen alone, that in the majority of cases it will take the first three tricks, but generally this type of hand is held with one or more small cards. When a four-card suit is headed by ace, king, both can be counted on to take a trick. A five- card suit headed by ace, king, queen —the. king ‘of course is apt to be ruffed more often than it would be in a four-card suit. The third round, however, the queen will be ruffed, a large percentage of the time, and as the most important thing to tell your partner when making an original suit bid is that you have two quick tricks, it is not advisable to put too much added value to finesse combinations. It is better to allow these combina- tions to build up the probable trick value of your hand for additional bid- You can appreciate how vaiuable this information is to partner in as- sisting him with his bids, doubles or re-doubles, It is of the utmost im- portance that your original bids do not convey false information to your partner, Quick tricks can be termed defen- sive tricks. In the next article we will take up probable tricks which are cards that will probably take tricks if played at the suit you name.

Clapp and George E. Anderson were re-elected members of the Fargo board of education Tuesday, but Dr, Paul H. Burton, third candidate for re-election, was defeated by kev. T. H. Quanbeck. Only 1,355 votes were cast, one of the lighest ballots at a Fargo election in recent years. High Court Upholds Engen Case Verdict In a decision handed ,down Wed- nesday, the state supreme court af- firmed the Burleigh county district court which awarded damages to J. F. Engen in a damage suit against B. K. Skeels. The suit resulted from an automo- bile accident east of the city about two years ago in which Engen was injured. He claimed that a collision of his car with that driven by Skeels was caused by the latter and a jury awarded him a judgment of more than $900. In its decision, the supreme court held that no prejudicial errors of law occurred at the trial and that the evidence was sufficient to justify the verdict. Native trees and shrubs make at- tractive ornamental plantings. Small plants should be selected and the roots carefully packed to prevent in- jury and drying out.

Conditions generally are favorable in the eastern half of North Dakota, southwestern North Dakota, northern South Dakota and the Red River valley of Minnesota. The ground is cracking from dry winds and some reseeding is reported from around Wolf Point, Mont. ‘The Minot to Williston district is very dry, while conditions are excellent in the Devils Lake territory. “Great Falls reports damage to winter wheat as a result of blowing and dry weather. The Montana de- | partment of agriculture, however, re- ports that there is little relationship between the moisture condition prior to May 1 and the crop yields. The rainfall between May 1 and June 30 usually makes or breaks the crop, the | Montana department says, and ade- quate rains in this period affect grain crops vitally. “Summarizing conditions, field work is general, considerable stubbling in of wheat is being done, more land is being devoted to summer-fallow, pas- tures are starting to get green, and in most areas, moisture is sufficient to germinate seed.” . FINE BINFORD MEN FOR SPEARING FISH Bottineau Man Assessed $100 for Killing Deer, Game Com- missioner Says Spearing fish proved unprofitable recently to four Binford men, who were fined $10 and assessed $7.85 costs each for violating the game laws, ac- cording to Burnie Maurek, state game and fish commissioner. The men, who also used artificial light during their fishing operations, were Clarence Olson, John W. Lein- inger, Ted Simpson and Adolph Bay- agelie. All pleaded guilty when ar- raigned before Justice of the Peace O. A. Gilbertson, Binford. Another game law violator, accord ing to Maurek, was Lewis Simon, Bot- tineau. He pleaded guilty to killing @ deer and was fined $100 and $3.75 costs by Justice of the Peace John McKenzie at Bottineau. Ernest Davis, Belcourt, paid a $100 fine and $4 costs before Justice of the Peace Ray Wil- son, Dunseith. r At the Movies ] natural color screen version of the play which was so successful in New York last season, opened here today. “Fifty Million Frenchmen” Has to do, not only with people of gay Pa- ree, but with a group of tourists from America and two pussy-footing detec- tives, played by Olsen and Johnson, who are remembered for their lu- dicrous antics in their own staze play “Monkey Business” and in their first sereen hit, “Oh, Sailor Behave.” They NOTICE TO POLICYHOLDERS OF THE WESTERN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE MIDWEST MUTUAL LIFE INSUR- ANCE COMPANY, AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: You are hereby notified that, the Western Mutual Life Insurance Com- pany of Fargo, North Dakota, and the Midwest Mutual Life Insurance Com- pany of Fargo, North Dakota, both being corporations organized ‘under the laws of the State of North Da- kota, engaged in the life insurance business under the laws of such Stat have filed with the Commissioner o!
