LAW STILL PROTECTS s:
MEN WHO FOUGHT FOE

The state Supreme Court has upheld
the moratorium act passed for the
benefit of the men who entered the
service of their country. The law.
passed by the 1918 special session of
the legislature, provided that no jIdg-
ment could be taken against a service
man during the time he. was in the
service and until one year thereafter.
The case was one of a Dickinson
who was denied tue right
granted him by the law by the lower
court. He appealed to the high court,
and the decision, written by Judge
Harry A. Bronson, states that the law
means what it says, and repeats that
no judgment could be made against the
soldier.

SUE U. s. TO ENFORCE
FULL TRAIN GREW LAW

A mandamus suit has been filed with
the state supreme court to compel the
federal RAILROAD administration to en-
force the full-crew act passed by the
last legislature. This law went into
effect July 1, and Walter D. Hines,
head of the government railroad ad-
ministration has announced that he
will disregard it. The act requires
companies ol1rating more than four
trains in "a hours to employ six men on
freight trains of 40 cars or more, five
men on freight trains of less than 40
cars, and five men on passenger trains
of four cars or more. The law is de-
signed for the safety of passengers and
to avoid wrecks thru the exhaustion or
overwork Of railroad employees.

out in this statement. We have dis
cussed making such an application,

cation and that it has been denied Is
utterly without Foundation"
II. W..Cathro, director general of the
Bank of North. Dakota, when shown
the report said: '"Ihe circulation of

there has been no action BY the Bank

MANY BRITISH WOMEN

(By United Press. J

London, Dec. Ia. (By Mail. J.
Wanted: Work for 100000 women.
The number of women who will
be thrown out of work by the ending
of the war is not 80 great as Is i'm
agined. About one and half mil
lion extra women have been en-
ployed in the United Kingdom since
July, 1914, but the number of killed
and disabled men amounts to about
one million. Therefore there remain
100000 women workers who will be
displaced.
Their displacement will come gra-
dually and they will not be thrown
on the labor market at once, for one
third of the increase in women's
labor consists Of dilutees. Until the
men come back they will remain at
their jobs.
In the meantime many new
spheres have sprung up for women
They will continue making tools and
machinery, they will be employed in
subsidiary ship-building Industries,
they will do their share in the chemi-
cal trades; and also there are two
quite new branches of work open to
women of the United Kingdom--the
manufacture of pianos and toys, both
of which Industries are being wrest-
ed from the hands of the Hun.

John Barrett, secretary of the COM
pany, on indictments charging them

tinue the case until February Is,
that the government might obtain

ditional continuance of the case
would work an unnecessary hard
ship on the motor company.

which the sale of stock was conduct
ed Government representatives
told the court that they had not suf-
ficient time to investigate the books
of the company and obtain witnesses,

COLONEL ROOSEVELT HAD EVENTFUL CAREER

colonel Of the first volunteer cavalry,
known as "Rooseyelt's Rough Rid
ers." He and his men took part In
the Cuban fighting and at San Juan
Hill his men were saved from an
Inhalation in the storming of that
famous hill with It's bullet swept sur
face by the Eighth "niggers," who
stormed that height, dying 1t Grim
son with their blood, wrestling the
crown from the hold Of General
Weyler, "the butcher" who had
been sent from Spain to defend the
sinking of the Maine.
He was mustered out with his reg
iment at Montauk Point in 1898.
Elected Vice. President.
In November, 1900, he was elected
vice-president with President VIII
liam B. Mckinley and when the
martyred president met his fate at
the hands of an ,assassin's bullet,
Roosevelt succeeded to the presi-
dency, September IA, 1901.
Roosevelt was elected president
next term and supported Taft for
the next election. When Taft came
up for reelection the party split
when Roosevelt sought to boss the
job.
In the famous Chicago national
republican convention Roosevelt was
unable to stem the trend, toward
Howard Taft, who received the nom-
ination. Roosevelt led his followers
from the Coliseum and held a rump
convention, choosing the name Pro-
gressive Party. 1t became known as
the Bull Moose party. He was
the despair of politicians, home
loving husband and father and a
great friend Of the children on every
hand.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE

Continuously <, using the water

perience and also said this ship is
now in dry deck at Liverpool, Eng

WARNING: KEEP OFF
PRIVATE PROPERTY

This might serve as a warning to
those who are in the habit Of cutting
corners across lawns Of private
yards and parkings, for many COM
plants have come in to the police
and action is to be taken If the de-
structive practice is not abated.
The packing of icy paths across
yards damages the grass and makes
a clearly discernable path when
spring comes, and is unsightly and a
damage to property. A few steps ex-
ira would save others property and
those who have complained have
been notified to secure names Of the
tresspassers.
