THIRTY MILES OF ROADWAY

The original plan of the board 0,
 revenue called for an expenditure or sso00oO on about 30 miles of roadway,
 the county to pay half and the federal
 government the other half, but the urgent
 need of additional mileage impelled the

 about for ways and means to eplarge the
 programme Hence, the conference with
 the bankers and the arrangements made
 yesterday
 State Highway Engineer w. $. Keller and Federal Engineer J. T. Bulien were here and conferred with the board or revenue. MT Bullen told the members of the board of revenue that he woulu recommend that s5O0,OO0 of the fedepl aid fund be used in Jefferson county and as his recommendation will be ap- proved by the roads department or the government all prelimnaries for the new programme were arranged.
 The roads and mileage on each to pc built under the revised programme are | South Bessemer, seven miles; Huey iahe land Possum valley, il miles; Fairfield to | Bessemer. eight miles; Pinson road, 1iVe 1 miles. Montgomery road, five miles | Adamsville road, five miles; Warrior road to Lewisburg, two miles.

MUST SHED UNIFORMS
AS SOON AS THEY QUIT

The general impression that soldier
is entitled to wear his uniform for three
months after discharge from service
has been dissipated by a ruling from
the Department Judge Advocate, who
holds that officers should discard their
uniforms Immediately, when possible,
but enlisted men have certain leeway
IN which to turn to civilian garb.
The ruling was made at the request
of the police of several cities throughout
the country, who have been unusually
lenient in dealing with Slight offenders
in soldier attire.
Zone whose commission as an officer
has been terminated has no right to wear
the uniform the ruling says. ''The
termination of the right is co-incident
with the termination of the commission,
strictly speaking. The moment dis
missal or discharge from the service
is consumated by communication Of
notice thereof to the officer in question,
that moment the right to wear uniform
is at an end.
Reason and common sense sug-
gest, however, and the law may be so
construed, a reasonable time be allowed
in which to change from the uniform to
civilian garb. What shall constitute
reasonable time must depend upon the
facts in each case.
''In no event should more time be
allowed, however, than will be required
for an officer to close up his business or
relations with the Government and
return to his home. If he is able to
provide himself with civilian clothes
at the place of discharge or dismissal,
it would be his duty to do so, and a
proper appreciation of the proprieties
involved would make such action man
datory on his part.
eff he is not able to provide himself
with civilian clothes at the place of
discharge or dismissal, he should be
allowed to wear his uniform until he
reaches his home if he proceeds to return
there without delay, when the uniform
should at once. be removed.
'There is no authority for the sug-
gestion that the right to wear the uni
form might, in certain cases, continue
for period Of three months after dis
charge or dismissal.
''An officer or enlisted man, under a
reasonable construction of Section 1875
of the National Defense Act, should
proceed from the place of his honorable
discharge to his home with reasonable
speed, and upon his arrival there his
uniform should be discarded, as it is
unlawful for him to wear it longer
In no event should he take more than
three months and he may not unduly
protract his transit" ~

MoRGAN's LOYALTY ROW.

According to information that has
reached New Ulm, the citizens Of the
village Of Morgan have been under
going for some months a most bitter
factional fight, all due to the fact that a
certain small number of the citizens Of
that town have been trying to lord it
over some of the other citizens. The
resignation of Henry Hopfenspirger, local
postmaster has brought the factional
fight to the fore again.
It will be remembered that some weeks
ago Mr.. Hopfenspirger sent in his resig-
nation to the Third Assistant Postmaster
General and that it was accepted. 1t
ssaid that his resignation was an enforced
one, the postofice department having
given him four days time in which to
resign or stand an investigation as to his
loyalty. Knowing that he would be
playing with a cold deck, he took the
easier way out and resigned. It is said
that number of the citizens of Morgan
had filed affidavits to the effect that the
postmaster was disloyal and should be
removed.
There, seems to be little doubt in the
minds Of the vast majority Of the patrons
of the office that Mr.. Hopfenspirger was
the best postmaster the village has ever
had and as result, in spite OF the hand
leap Of bad roads, the friends of Mr.. Hop
fenspirger secured signatures of ninety
per cent Of the patrons Of the Office asking
the postoffice to reinstate the deposed
man and Mayor Vessel of Morgan claims
that if the roads had been better they
could easily have secured ninety-six per
cent of the patrons to sign up for the
petition 1t is also claimed by those
who stand by Mr.. Hopfenspirger that
he has been very active in all the different
government drives and that the Nor
gan postoffice thru his efforts made the
best showing made by any office in Red
wood County in the matter of the sale of
Thrift Stamps. He sold $4,000 worth
in all before the big stamp drive got a
start and up to the time of his removal
he had made sales amounting to $58, 791.-
Sc, being 1000. ahead Of the record of
the postofice at Redwood Falls.
Mayor Vessel is at the head of the
Hopfenspirger faction and Attorney Wer-
ring is at the head of his opponents. The
headquarters of the postmaster's forces
is at Frank Schiefert's restaurant and
the others hold forth at Balls Bank.
What the outcome will be no one is pre-
pared to say. It may mean the estab-
lishment Of third bank and if the new
institution should become a reality it will
be located in the building now occupied
by Schiefert's restaurant.
