who are really in the work realize
what tremendous task we have cut
out for US in stamping out German
autocracy. Captain Brown, as we
have noted before, was one of the
pioneers in the aviation game and en-
listed in the British army at the COM
mencement of the great war. His
visit to Glasgow brought the war a
little closer home and it was with a
feeling of sincere regret that we
wished him "God-speed," and a safe
return.

STATION AGENT

o1A1xOAN AIEN i
Pleading guilty to grand larceny, l..
j. Gilbert, formerly station agent at
Reserve, was sentenced by Judge Hur-
ley to serve not less than one nor
more than two years, but sentence
was suspended owing to extenuating
circumstances. Gilbert was depot
agent at Reserve at time when the
town only had an old box car for a
depot. An auditor found him several
hundred dollars short in his accounts,
but Gilbert claimed his shortage
occurred because freight, which neces-
sarily had been left out of doors, had
been stolen from him.
