The great worlds war has brought the military profession and the indus trial world into more intimate relations than they have even been before. There are many little rules in the army regulations that seem of small conse- quence to the average civilian, and l am sorry to say-that are not fully understood and appreciated by some few men in the service.
 Courtesy is one of the little things that become quite a factor in military life, making life more pleasant for the individual and everyone he comes in contact with.
 Military Courtesy Means More Than
 Matter of Discipline
 In all walks of life men who are gentlemanly and of good breeding, are always respectful and courteous to those about them. It helps to make life move along more smoothly In civil life this courtesy is shown by the GUS tom of tipping the hat to ladies. shack ing hands with friends, and greeting persons with nod or friendly good morning, etc. In the army courtesy is just as necessary and for the same reason. It helps to keep the great ma chine moving without friction. Cour tesy among military men is indispens- able to discipline. One method of ex- tending this courtesy is by saluting. When in ranks the question of what a soldier should be is simple. He obeyS
 
 out of ranks that a soldier must know how and when to salute.
 The Origin of the Military Salute
 In the old days of free men of Flu rope were allowed to carry weapons, and when they met each other would hold up his right hand to show that he had no weapon in it, and that they met as friends. The slaves and serfs how ever were not allowed to carry weap ons, and slunk past the freeman with out making any sign. In this way the salute came to be a symbol or sign by which the soldiers (freemen) might recognize each other. The lower class es began to initiate the soldier in this respect, although in a clumsy apole- getic way, and whence crept into civil life the custom of raising the hand or nodding as one passed an acquaint- ance The soldiers however hept their individual salute. and purpoSely made it intricate and difficult to learn in order that it could be acquired only by the constant training, all real sol diers receive. To this day armies have preserved their salute, and when cor rectly did it is at once recognized and never mistaken for that of a civilian. The civilian who tries to initiate the military salute invariably makes some mistake which shows that he is not a soldier; he gives it in an apolegetic

Glass spirit reached toward the

Miss Lillian Ford, president of the
Student Council, presented the con-
ditions under which class organiza-
ton could compete for the prize Of

the Play Day parade Saturday. The
conditions were that each class should
have float, a slogan, and every mem
ber of the class present. Besides the
prizes offered by the state and county,
the faculty of the Normal school has
also agreed to give prize. "Now is
the time for everyone" said Miss Ford
S'to show his loyalty to his class by
presenting some original ideas for the
slogan for Teachers Week, and for

the appeal for cooperation was re-
sponded to most nobly. Every class

ship BY TRUCK
DAY COMING

AS a precaution against the posi-
ole tie-up of the railway transporta-
ton of the country for want of coal,
the council of national defense has
prepared statement for the war de-
partment showing there is available
approximately 100000 motor trucks
belonging to the government or that
may be commandeered.
Motor trucks saved the day in Eng
land during railroad strike and as
tonished everyone in the country by
carrying home in record time the peo-
pie who worked in the loop during the
Chicago car strike.
Statistics prepared by the depart
ment of agriculture show that there
are 100000 farms in the United
States yet there are less than 100000
trucks in use on farms.
The figures emphasize the fact that
the motor truck is coming into it's own
and will face the biggest year in the
industry during 1920.
While it is not regarded possible to
use motor transportation for rain
borne freight to the extent employed
m Great Britain during the strike of
railway operatives, nevertheless the
$1,000 trucks of various sizes may
he expected to relieve to a consider
able extent the elimination of rail ia
cilities.
One Of the most popular long dis
tance freighters used in motor trans
portation is truck designed by tt

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron,
Ohio, and used exclusively by that
company on its Akron to Boston ex-
press line. These trucks are being
sent all over the country to demon
strate motor truck efficiency and mo-
torization of the farm. The multi
plex cord tire so generally used today
was first tried out on these Goodyear
trucks
Since the war the pneumatic tired
truck has forged ahead by leaps and
bounds leaving the solid tire truck far
behind in it's limited field of operation.
At the present rate pneumatics will,
it is estimated, be specified in seven
out Of ten truck sales within twelve
month. The comparison is significant
when it is considered that during the
war Goodyear furnished the govern
ment 275,O00 solid tires and 10000
pneumatics, or enough to equip $4,000
trucks with six tires each.

ROTARY CLUB
ADOPTS BAND

On the date of the first appearance
of the Million Dollar Band in Fargo,
N. D., April 2, 1919, the members were
entertained at luncheon by the Fargo
Rotary club. Mr.. Bachman was elected
to an honorary membership in the
club, an honor he esteemed very
highly, and the club decided to adopt
The Million Dollar Band. The Fargo
club always sends good word about
the band to clubs in other cities where
the band plays, and Mr.. Bachman
says that he finds that the Rotarians
are among his very best boosters.
The Million Dollar Band was re-
Gently asked to play at the 1nterna-
tional\ Convention Of Rotary Clugs in
Atlantic City, June 2oFo 25 but had
to decline owing to the fact that they
were scheduled for dates at that time.
Duluth, Minb, Milwaykeen, Wis,
Chicago, and numerous smaller places
entertained the band last year at their
weekly Rotary club luncheons. The
band will play at Valley City May 81,
