IN THE Gladstone SPRINGTIME

What a springtime it's going to be this year,
with the boys back from over there and the girls
ali fluffy and feminine again in their new gowns
while their war work uniforms are hung up in
the attic to be worn again only for masquerades
and dress-up parties and such peaceful pursuits !!
Springtime and Peace!
The world can hardly wait-aiready the trees
are full of pep and buds. Father is out in the
garage painting the old flivver breezy blue and
shining up the lamps and giving the machinery
some jazzerino jabs with oil can. And mother
sings around the kitchen with smile twtchng
the corners Of her mouth while she consults cook
books and the good old recipes she formerly used
for the connection of those goodies that-um-u uu-
u-um-fairly melt in your mouth.
Springtinne and Peace!
Sister bushes and smiles and flutters around
the east side of the house where she can look out
of the windows at The Home Next Door where a
certain sergeant is due to shortly return. And
Buddy who has come back with two service bars
and an unquenchable appetite, yawns and stretches
and eats and lies in bed late and has perfectly
gorgeous time calling up all his girls and dating
them up for moonlight strolls and visits to the
movies when spring comes. -
Springtme and Peace.
O-o-oh, what thrill! Don't you feel your
heart tngle and leap and sing as you think of it?
Springtine and Peace! O-o-o-o-h, Boy!!!!

NORTH DAKOTA TO FRONT.
Most Autos per Capita in the Unit
ed States. r.

According to recent determine
tons made by the state highway
department. North Dakota has more
automobiles per capita than any
other state in the union. In re-
cent years California and Iowa
have been in the fore as to the
least number Of inhabitants per
automobile. Last fall. Nebraska
came forward with claim that 1t
had taken the lead and a table pub
lished at that time showed Nebras-
ka with one automobile for every
9.5 persons, Iowa one for every 81
and California one for every ~
persons. According to the calcula-
tons made by the state highway
department from the number OF
cars registered in 1913. North Da-
kota has now forged to the front
| with one automobile for every g."
inhabitants.
With the average family in
/ North Dakota numbering six, 1t Is
apparent that there is one car for
every family and a half 80 per cent
OF the population is rural. COnse-
quently the number. OF country
folks who need, appreciate and will
demand more aerviceable highways
is-exceedingly large
The population has increased
from approximately 10000 In
1890 to 81. O:,6 in 1919. The state
census for 1915 gives fs;;55 ,327, from
which it is calculated that the 1918
population was Approximately
87O29O.
Motor vehicles have increased IN
accelerative manner from 7,22O au-
tomobiIes in 1911 to 1882, or prac-
tically ten-fold In eight years. In
1911 there was one automobile for
s2 persons. in 1916 one for every
q and In 1913 one automobile for
every Oh persons.
The motor age IS here. North
Dakota has not yet reached the
| motor truck era. When It does,
the highways should be ready to
furnish modern transportation,
| which is the very life Of civilian
tiOn.

AN ACE AMONG HEROES

Before all the heroes Of the war, decorated or
lndecorated heroes, we first bow before Corporal
HarodsWss3RC Roberts, latesof San Francisco Rob-

tank which slid into water-filled shell hole. But
one Of the tWo-man crew could escape Roberts
pushed his companion out to safety, saying "Well,
only one of us can get out and out you gC!" Rob-
erts remained to die ..
This man not war hero only. 1t is even
possible that he did not even feel that he was
sacrificing for his country or it's great cause. 1t
would make no difference to cause of ally or Hun
which of the two drowned in that tank like rat.
To Roberts, it meant simply choice between his
life and that of his poor companion and he said to
the latter, in effect:
Go back into the beautiful world, to mother,
friends, wife or sweetheart, to honor and life as
soldier of the great cause, to all the joys and
opportunities of the future. will choose death,
for your sake"
Greater love hath no man" How could mortal
hands decorate so grand soul!
But, welove best what this hero actually did
say in choosing to die for his friend.

APARTMENT HOUSES ARE NOTHING NEW !;

C0URTMARTIAL, in OUR q
ARMY IS HELD UNFAIR!
Officer Is Equivalent to Conviction Says Reporter
LYON Who With the Army in Europe; Prvates Often
Fear to Contradict Testimony Of Their Superiors

has not been convicted on any legally
sufficient specification and 1t is rec
commended that he be released from
confinement and restored to duty"
This would seem to give the ac-
cused a clean bill Of health. yet the
fact remains that TODAY, some
months after General Crowder rend-
cred tais final decision THE BOY IS
STILL ON DUTY AS A PRIVATE.
The officer who brought the charges
and the officers who tried him still
refuse to restore him TO his former
rank OF sergeant.
Other Cases Showing
Injustice to Privates.
Another boy was given three
months in the guard house for being
absent four months without leave.
some time later this same boy was,
given five years at Fl. Leavenworth
military prison by another court mar
tial for being absent 80 days without
leave.
A sergeant was brought before a
court martial charged with being
drunk. Two officers swore that he
was not drunk because they had seen
him and talked with him during the
=, time another officer charged him with
being drunk. yet he was convicted
and given three months. The chief
evidence against him was that nine
months previous he had been convict
ed for being drunk.
Another boy is now serving five
years in prison for having brought a
bottle OF whiskey into an army reser-
walton. .. ....
Another boy is serving two years
Mn prison charged with having driven
an army truck outside reservation
at time prohibited by army orders.
Officer Lied on Stand,
Another Tells Lyon.
The officer who told me about this
case was one Of the witnesses for
the accused boy. He said to me:
From my own personal knowledge
I know that the officer who brought
the charges against this boy lied on
the witness stand. He saw his case
falling through and he lied to keep
the boy from being acquitted"
A boy went to his own post exchange
and bought pair Of wrapped leg
gings which were openly offered for
sale and which were worn by the boys
in many nearby organizations. His
idea was to look as neat as possible.
He was arrested by the military police
Of his own organization, thrown into
the guard house and later brought be-
fore q court martial. He was fined
two-thirds of one months pay. The
offense charged was wearing other
than regulation uniform, although
tho wr1Dnp1 1cnniDcS were sold with
the consent Of the post authorities.
7 For refusing to do mental labor in
a hospital on orders from his captain
f boy was given 20 years IN Fort
Leavenworth. and he is there today.
1t would look as il, these and hun
dreds of cases like them should open
up a rich field for a congressional In
vestigation.

we prayed and some of us paid of our dollars and

Easy Money Helps to
Strengthen Stock Prices
Weeks Review Was Not
Without It's Encouraging
Indications.

New York, Sept. 6.-Stocks made
substantial recoveries in the early
stages of this weeks enlarged OPP
erations, the more hopeful labor out
look and easier money trend contrib
uting measurably to the rebound of
prices. Much of this improvement
was forfeited later however, mainly
as result of the revival in more
acute form Of the differences be-
tween organized labor and the United
States Steel corporation.
The week was not without its en-
couraging indications, notably the in
creased dividends declared by such
important interests as the American
Car & Foundry. American Wooden
and Mexican and Pan American Pc
troleums.
The high cost agitation also offered
ground for the belief that much good
had already been accomplished trade
authorities emphasizing a well-d de-
fined reduction in prices Of various
commodities.
Weakness Of foreign exchange con-
tinued to overshadow the financial
situation with further marked effect
on export trade. The reaction In
sterling bills almost effaced the re-
cent sharp recovery, while francs and
lires fell to new low points OF de-
probation with remittances to Ger
many and Austria at incredible dis
counts
