BOOM IN BUSINESS
IN UNITED STATES
Little Fear of Hard Times in Amer
lea Following the Great
War.

New York, Nov. 26.-"Talk of in
dustrial depression as a result OF peace
is utterly unfounded. The idea that
cessation of war work and return OF
soldiers will flood the market with
labor and result in panic conditions
is foolish"
This summarizes the views of John
Moody, president of Moody's Invest
ors' Service and editor Of Moody's
Manual of Railroads and Corporation
Securities.
81 was in London when the wal
broke out in 1914" he said. "Every-
body then was saying that the out
break of war would mean depression
and panic in the United States. / pre-
dicted then that, after a short period
of reimbursement, there would be a
great boom in business in the United
States. That is exactly what happen
ed. Our balance of trade grew to
enormous proportions, gold began to
flow to the United States and we abb
sorbed an enormous amount of U. 5.
securities that had been held abroad
and which we're returned to US in part
payment for goods needed abroad.
"Gradually, we will pass from a wal
to a peace basis. We will begin fill
ing the demand from devastated Eu-
o Our ships will gradually be
withdrawn from war use. 1t will take
perhaps a year to get u men home

men in our armies will be demobilized

more liberty loans-smaller in amount
but large in the aggregate-to finance
the operations of bringing our mer
back and readjusting commercial re-
l%ations.

Pretty Emma Kortan, the reserva-

lover early last summer, was happily
married in Poplar Wednesday morn
ing to Herman Giesen. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. Father Nichol
at the Catholic church after which the
couple left for Mr.. Giesen's former
home in South Dakota. After a visit
of a month or six weeks the newly
weds will return to Montana to live
on Mr.. Giesen's homestead near Pop
lar.
The victim of a jealous lover, Miss
Kortan figured in a sensational shoot
ing affray during the past summer.
Maddened to a point of insanity be-
cause she would not become his, wife,
Joseph Majerick went to Miss Koran's
home one day and shot her in the face
and head and then turned the gun on
himself. Miss Kortan's life was de-
SPARED of for several days and at the
Glasgow hospital it was not known
for some time whether she would hive
or not. M~ajerick was not badly in

inflicted wounds after receiving treat

der a close guard he was imprisoned
in the government physicians home
for about a month and was finally de-

about Miss Kortan's home. He haG

Council of Defense Notifies Public Of
Removal of Restrictions for Re-

Helena, November 3O.-The Mon
tana Council of Defense has been no.
titled by the conservation division of
the war industries board of the dis
continuance of it's program for o
omy in retail delivery services. 1t
will be recalled that several months
ago a request was made upon mer-
chants for a reduction in the num-
Der Of deliveries so that more men
could be released for work in essen
tial var industries. In Montana the
reduction of deliveries was carried out
in conformity with the request of the
wal industries board in every larger
city. This reduction in service re-
suited in releasing for essential war
work a great many men.
1t is presumed that this %discontin-
lance of the program for economy in
retail delivery service is in conform
ity with the policy of the war indus
tries board to open up employment in
as many lines as possible, not only for
those who are leaving the military and
naval service, but also so that the men
who have been filling the places of
those in military and naval service,
and who in many instances will be
displaced when the enlisted men re-
turn, will be enabled to secure employ
ment. With a few exceptions employ
ers agreed to re-employ such employ
ees as enlisted when they returned
from the service. The carrying out of
this agreement will undoubtedly lead
to the discharge of a great many peo-
pie who have been filling the places
of those who went into the army or
