ALL NEWSPAPERS JOIN

Returning soldiers are registering
slowly in the book provided on the
counter in the Office of The Gate City
for that purpose.
They are careless, too modest, or
dislike to take the trouble, and by
their failure to register are doing
themselves an injustice.
Their mothers, sisters, sweethearts
and fathers should insist upon their
signing this register at once upon
their return Those who have already
arrived should come in and register
now.
The value of this register will In
crease with the years and it may be
very valuable evidence to some of the
men in the future sometime.
What Every Man Will Get.
Its value right now lies in the fact
that membership ticket giving all
the privileges and facilities of the

eminent, was to continue to furnish
their cars as they were needed.
They were furnished, not in hun
dreds, but in thousands both for
the training camps here, and for
service in Belgium, France and
Italy.
The record Of those thousands Of
camp and army cars is one in which
any owner may feel the utmost
pride and satisfaction.
Their performance justified the
compliment implied in their selec-
ton by the Government.
The great works in which nearly
three hundred thousand of their cars
have been produced in the past four
years furnished a vast store house of
human energy and equipment for
the ordnance work.
Naturally, it will take time to adjust
the motor works to it's full accus-
toned activity.
Gradually Dodge Brothers Will re-
sumo the grateful task of continuing
to deserve the good will Of America
and indeed of the whole world.
Dodge Brothers consider good will
their most valuable possession.
They will never knowingly do any
thing to lessen it..

FIND 225, 900 ACRES
SUITABLE FOR SOLDIERS

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 13.-There
are at least 225 600 acres Of good land
now going to waste in Kentucky or
sufficient to furnish an SO-acre home
stead to each of $500 returning soldiers
at the end Of the war, according to a
report submitted to II. p. Griffith,
special agent OF the department Of the
interior by the Louisville board or
trade.
The land with which the report deals
comprises only large tracts easily sus-
cepttble to reclamation. There are SIX
tracts described in the report, the
smallest 10, 900 acres and the largest 75,-
900 acres.
The report Is made in connection with
preliminary plans Of the department Of
the interior to place returning soldiers
on the land on such terms that they
can pay for the farms IN small pay
ments extending over a long period.
Negotiations for making the Kentucky
tracts available for government pur-
chase when congress shall later have
provided funds have gone far enough
in only one case that the details can
be divulged, 1t Is In what Is known
at the Panther creek section of Ken
lucky. Here so, 900 acres in one tract
can be purchased at IS an acre and
by putting in drain tile 1t can be made
ready for use,
According to Mr.. Griffith, the tenta-
tive plans laid by the department Of
the interior contemplates placing re-
| turned soldiers on the soil in every
| state Of the union and a!so using them
| as government employees after the arm
| les are ~disbanded in making the land

of the numerous telegraph companies
that sprung up, each with It's short
stretch of wire. Clark's wire extended
only from Waukegan to Chicago, and
he conceived the idea OF hooking up"
some of these companies.
He was stationed at Wyandotte, now
Kansas City, Kan, during the Kansas
constitutional convention and a wire
was extended from Jefferson City, Mo,
to Kansas City, Wyandotte and Leav-
enworth, with Clark flashing the news
of these events of Kansas history to
papers of st. Louis, Chicago and East
frontier was strung primarily for send
ing news Of the Kansas border war

| and bleeding Kansas was looked upon
as the western battle front"
/ After the war Clark entered business
in Oil City, Pa. established a chain
Of b~ottling works from Memphis to

in the oil business in Kansas City In
