NOBODY WANTS MAYOR JOE
DR.. Hopper Finally Consents to Take
it After Two Others Resigned

There was considerable fireworks
at the council meeting Monday eve
ming. The retiring aldermen cleaned
the slate and then it was up to the in
coming board to qualify. F. G. Bier,
mayor-elect, qualified and Immediate
ly after the council had qualified, he
resigned, thus leaving Herschel Jane
son, president of the council to act as
mayor. Mr.. Jameson did not seem to
have any leanings toward the Office of
mayor and he resigned. After a great
deal of discussion and persuasion, DR..
C. D. Hopper, member of the newly or
ganized council, was prevailed upon to
take the office, and A. M. Lausch was
appointed to fill the vacancy on the
council.
The council now consists Of Her
schel Jameson, president, A. M. Lausch
Elmer Hinkle, Lou Wheelhouse and
DR.. Hopper, as mayor. AS DR.. Hopper
had not expected to be called upon to
fill the office of mayor he did not feel
he could appoint his standing COM
mittees at this time and left the mat
ter open. No clerk was appointed.

RICHLAND HAY GROWERS
WILL MAKE CLEANUP
With Alfalfa SIP in the Stack the
World Sure Looks Bright to
the Hay Ranchers

Some Richland farmers are going to
make a nice little pile from their hay
crop this spring, judging from the
prices being offered for hay in the
stack.
Twelve dollars ton, fed on the
ground is the price is this district
at the pres1t time and among the
farmers who have enough hay on hand
to warrant their figuring on putting
down nice profit from its sale are
Harry Van Horn, who has about 200
tons, Patrick Costello, who has over
rs tons of alfalfa and some fine grain
hay, and B. S. Wadsworth, who has
close to Is tens. Th.rc are a great
many other farmers who have small
stacks, from 10 to 40 tons, which they
will dispose of as they have more than
enough to carry their stock over. A
great deal of new acreage will be put
into alfalfa this spring as the prices
which have prevailed for hay during
the past two seasons justifies the 10
cal ranchers in feeling that there is
very good money to be made from hay
in the Richland district where there is
an abundance of water and where four
crops to the acre per season is the
rule.

PICK OFFICERS
FOR NEW ARMY
Leaders of Young Men Are
Drawn For Ranks; Pre-
sents Big Problem

Washington, July 21.-Hundreds
of thousands of young men have
been drawn to defend the United
States against foreign foe.
The most important thing con-
cerning these young men is who will
lead them. There will be appointed
for the new armies that will soon be
at grips with the Germans on the
western European battlefront, thir-
ty-two major generals, 12S brigadier
generals, EOS colonies, 20S lieutenant
colonels and 416 majors
Sixteen of the thirty-two major
seneralships will be given to Regu-
lar Army officers, who will command
divisions in the National Army. Six
teen will so to brigadier generals or
major generals who now hold these
ranks in the National Guard Gov
ernors have recommended to the
War Department these appoint
ments.
Sixty-four brigadier generalships
are now held by officers of TIE Ma
tional Guard. Most of these will hold
their commissions in the new armies.
SiXty-four brigadiers are yet to be
appointed to the National Army.
In the first army drawn there will
be 144 infantry regiments, sixteen
cavalry regiments and forty eight
field artillery regiments. In each in
fantry and cavalry regiment there
will be appointed lieutenant-colo-
mel and two majors. The colonels
and one major will come from the
Regular Army in these organiza-
tions. In each artillery regiment one
lieutenant colonel and one major
will be appointeu, the artillery hav-
ing only two majors to a regiment.
In the artillery regiments the colonel
and one major also will come from
the Regular Army.
The other officers outside of the
Regulars must come from either the
National Guard or from civil life.
The War Department expects to
get a large number of lieutenant
colonels and majors from the second
officers' training camps, which begin
in August A special effort has been
made to obtain in these camps men
of more mature age and all-round
experience than those attending the
first camps. Those who survive the
ordeal of these camps will become
captains and lieutenants in the new
national armies.
The general staff and members of
the House and Senate military affairs
committee believe every general Of
flcer as we'll as all colonels and lieu
tenant colonels, in every National
Guard and national army organiza-
tion, should be Regular Army Off
GERS. With men in the higher di-
vision, brigade and regimental COM
mands who are professional soldiers,
members of the committee believe
the new divisions, brigades and regi-
ments will be better trained and led
than if civilians or National Guard
officers are in command. There are
not enough regular officers to- fill
these commands.

of the prosperity of the nation and
of the sound condition of commerce
and industry. 1t is proof, too, of the
fact that the American people are re-
solved to live on the sane, logical
business as usual plane.
The new contracts are with the
very best class of dealers and dis
tributors in the. country. several being
with some of the largest dealers and
distributors in the country.
Among them are:
The Harry Neewman-Stratton Com
pany of Chicago, who agrees to handle
5000 cars; John d. Williams and
Company, exporters, of New York,
who agrees to handle $500 cars; the
Mckinney Curtis company of Fargo,
N. D., who agrees to handle 1000 cars;
and the Western Motors Company of
San Francisco, who agrees to handle
5000 cars.
These contracts illustrate the
class of dealers being attracted to
the. Maxwell company by our new
sales policy" said r. ]. Toner, Director
of Salees.
