Dr. A. l.. Gaston, for some time surgeon to a Birmingham hospital, has severed his connections with that institution. and returned to his Ensley offices Wednesday. Here after pr. Gaston will not maintain any offices in Birmingham, confin- ing his work to his Ensley office ard whatever hospitals he visits.
 Friends of Dr. Gaston are much pleased over his return to Ensley, for while he did not entirely relin- quish his interests here, at the same time his work in Birmingham de- prived Ensley of a great deal of his time.

A six-room bungalow complete is being constructed within the Daniels Furniture company's new building now under way on Avenue D, adjoin- ing the Franklin theatre. It was stated Wednesday by W. Eugene Daniel, president of the company, that the bungalow would be placed within his building so that any house. keeper interested in better homes would have a permanent place to study such places rather than tenn porary or occasional opportunities as are now offered in the district from time to time. It was stated that the finest furniture procurable, the most beautiful draperies and hangings, as well as the best rugs obtainable would be placed in the bungalow for inspection and study. MT Daniel said that many firms in this district had agreed to assist in creating the bungalow, so that it would reflect the best optainable workmanship and the highest quality of construc- tion available here.

Ensley. Ala. Sept. l5
 Members of the High school facul- ty and students were welcomed upon resumption of their duties Wednes- day morning at an informal affair arranged by Prof Elmer E. Smith, principal of the high school, in which representatives of the Kiwanis club and the Ensley Associated Merchants joined. The party was in token of appreciation of the work handled by the high school faculty and as an in- dication that business men and lead CTS of progressive measures in this section of Birmin gham are interest ed in them and wanted to let the faculty and the students know that was true.
 Professor Smith welcomed the visitors to the school and referred to the measure of cooperation and understanding which was created last winter by the business men of this community He suggested that the hearty backing secured from the merchants had encouraged and helped the educators in their work.
 P. H. Tyler of the Merchants as- sociation spoke for that body, as- surfing the students and the teachers of the good will and interest of all business men of this section. He was followed by William E. Turnipseed, representing the Kiwanis club, who suggested that no work was more important to a community than that of the teachers and that of all citi- gems they should receive and were en- titled to the greatest cooperation and assistance. His opinion was from a wealth of experience for MT. Turnipseed was for years a teacher in various schools of this state.
 The occasion was an interesting and enjoyable one, and will be followed by other developments during the winter, reasserting the interest of this community in matters educa- tional.
 Those attending included MT. Tur- nipseed. MT. Tyler, President John Smith of the Merchants association. J. M. Clarke, oscar Berney, T. B. Work, Dr. w. H. Wynne, and others,

is more common than 40 years ago,
according to the number of inhabi-
tants, l tell them they either did not
live then or they have terribly for
gotten their history. 1t is not so. The
contrast is almost as great as between
midnight darkness and MONDAY. L
used to think in the heat of my early
zeal upon this subject that intemper-
ance might and would be driven from
our land. But l have grown more
philosophical in my maturer years and
have given that all up. The great
majority of men need and will have
some stimulant of some sort. This is
true of all nations. Some seek it in
opium, some in tobacco, some in tea
and coffee, and some in stimulating
beverages, and there are few who ig-
more stimuIants in all it's forms.
What then is to be done? Why,
save all we can, rescue the fallen as
far as possible. But after all, the
work of prevention is the great work
to be done. No lover of his race, no
reformer, no laborer in a virtuous
cause should hesitate to grapple with
sin in any form. The fact that weeds
will grow is no encouragement to the
faithful husbandman, but a stimulus
to action. 1t is none but the sluggard
who will not plough for the reason of
the cold, or refuse to weed his garden
because it will need it again. SIN is
in the world and always will be until
Christ shall destroy it by the bright
ness of His coming. Meet it we must
in some form, and every servant of
the Lord must fight it out to the bitter
end, if he would hear it said: well
done, good and faithful, enter into the
of your Lord" l have lived to
see wonders accomplished by temper
ance efforts, but there r yet vic
tories to be achieved and conquests to
be won in this field OF strife. Return
then to the first principles, grid on
the armor afresh, nor quit the field
till h~onorably discharged by the great
Captain of our salvation.-From the
diary of Rev. Charles R. Harding, a
Methodist Episcopal minister in Ver-
mont and New Hampshire, written
about 1870 and taken from the Christ
ian Advocate.

BRIGHTON HOTEL TOPS THE LIST

OF all the Wildwood hotel properties
sold within the past six months that
old landmark, the Brighton, corner OF
Schellenger and Pacific avenues, tops
the list at the smart figure of SIS, 900,
or over, the purchasers said to be
Philadelphia capitalists. At the death
of Carl Erickson, the original owner,
some four or five years ago, this inn
sold for $35, 900. Here was a jump,
indeed, in value in the brief space of
a few years; and more's the wonder,
as the Brighton is a small affair as
hotels go in seashore towns. 1t con-
tains but 10 rooms all told. The plot
of ground on which this little mint
rests has a frontage of 80 feet on Pa
cific avenue and a depth of 100 feet
each on Schellenger and Cedar ave-
nues. Here is an instance where the
basic element of the ground on which
an unpretentious hosiery rears its
antiquated form has at least a three
fold value above the latter's ut
most rating. BY the terms of the
sale Miles D. Rigor, the present
owner, retains possession until Janu-
airy 1, 1924, at which date transfer of
title will take place. The Brighton
was built many years ago and moved
to its present site by Gus Nelson, who
died while on a trip to Sweden.

classes of eligibles and will be held
to fill approximately IS vacancies in
Infantry, Cavalry, Field Artillery,
Coast Artillery, Engineers, Signal
Corps, Air Service, Quartermaster
Corps, Ordnance Department, Chemi-
cal Warfare Service and Finance De-
partment. Application blanks, to-
gether with all the necessary data con-
corning the examinations may be had
upon application to the Commanding
General Second Corps Area, Cover
nor's Island, New York.
Eligibility for appointment is fixed
by law and the age at the time of the
appointment must be between 81 and
80 years, and candidates must be citi-
zens of the United States.
At the time of the final examination
each candidate must be in one of the
following classes: A warrant officer
or enlisted mar of the Regular Army
with more than two years service as
such; a Reserve officer, or a member
of the enlisted Reserve Corps; an Off
Ger, warrant officer or enlisted man
of the National Guard; a graduate of
a technical institution approved by the
Secretary of War. Any civilian of the
required age who passes the prelimi-
nary examination may, for the pur-
pose of establishing eligibility, enlist
in the Reserve Corps.
The preliminary examinations are
to be conducted so as to cause least
inconvenience and expense to the can
didates. This examination consists
of an inquiry into the physical, moral
and mental qualifications of the appli-
cant and to determine whether or not
he has the requisite qualifications to
justify his proceeding with the final
examination.
The final examination, June 25th, is
held simultaneously throughout the
country and is same for all candidates.
The scope of the mental examination
is such as to insure the Army secur-
ing men of the requisite educational
foundations for a career as an Army
officer. The elementary part of this
examination embraces the subjects of
uISIOly, SidllIIdl, SOOSldpuyg d11Iu-
metic, algebra, geometry, trigonom-
etry and physics. The advanced part
of the examination consists of a large
number of subjects including mathe-
matics, advanced mechanics, survey
ing, languages, literature, electricity,
chemistry, law and minor tactics.
Examination is required in but three
of the advanced subjects and these
may be chosen by the candidate. Can
didates for appointment in the Air
Service, Signal Corps, Engineers and
Ordinance Department + required to
satisfy certain technical requirements

SOMETHING TO BE
FOR

THE largest crop Of corr in the
4 states history, the best flax crop
since 1918 are shown in the November
crop report issued by the Montana Co
operative crop reporting service.
With an average yield of % bushels
per acre for the state, the preliminary
corn production estimate for the state
is 100000 bushels, as against 5,475,-
900 bushels for 1922, and 1,634,000'
bushels, the average for the 1921
period. The yield last year was %
bushels an acre, while the 5-year aver
age has been 1879 bushels. 1t is esti-
mated that II per cent Of the total
crop matured well this year; COM
pared to so per cent last year; and to
S0.4, the Swear average. Much corn
was planted late last spring, and while
nearly all matured well in the impOr-
tant eastern and southeastern coun-
ties, some in the north and north-cen-
trail counties was caught by frost.
From a feed standpoint, the crop has
been very satisfactory. (Corn esti-
mates for this state are based upon the
assumption that all is harvested for
grain, and should be Interpreted &C
cordingly.)
The flax crop is estimated at 1,246,'
600 bushels, based upon an average
yield Of 80 bushels an acre, compared
to $4,000 bushels for last year, and
to 1,O96,O00 the Swear average pro
duction. The average yield last yea
was 20 bushels and so bushels for the
5-year period. The quality of the croI
iR below that for last year.

Continued from last week.

(COntlnued from last week.
The one and only outstanding at
aempt on the part of Lasker to make
any real change in the deplorable and
super-cOstly condition of the Shipping
Board, the Emergency Fleet Corpora
sion and the rotting fleet was the
subsidy bill which he sponsored
fought for, and used the peoples
money and the peoples machinery
Of government to try to jam through
Congressman failed.
When Lasker proposed the subsidy
bill, he also threw the fleet of ships
on the market at a time when he
and his experts" all high-priced
ones, by the way, said, "there is no
chance in the world of selling a ship
today at any price
Fad the fleet been sold-and the
subsidy measure had passed-spccu-
lators would have reaped double or
triple their money through the In
creased price of tonnage with such
a prize as the subsidy and the indi-
rect aids put into the package.
In section POI of Lasker's subsidy
bill he sought to amend the Jones
act by leaving out the word "com-
petitive," thus setting aside any com
petition requirements in the sale of
the ships. Under this plan private
interests might at their own prices
have got the cream of the tonnage,
while others, offering even more, per-
tans-and there ara instances of this
very thing-wOuld have been exclud-
ed. This part of the Lasker measure
meant simply that if the bill had
passed the Shipping Board could
have sold the boats without adver-
Using, without notification of sale to
anybody interested in the purchase OF
ships, without competition in bidding
Or in offers. The sales could have
been made on any terms the board
might have prescribed. The board
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1923-11-28

could have deferred payment Of both
principal and interest on the ships
to the fifteenth year after the con-
tract of sale was signed; it could
have established the interest at two
per cent. The depreciation of the
ships in operation is five per cent a
year, so at the end of the 15-yeaI
period the ships would have been de-
preciated seventy-fve per cent and
the buyer would have paid interest
in the sum of thirty per cent-the
people being left utterly without pro-
lection on a forty-five per cent de-
probation of their fleet-or such of
it as was sold.
Millions Gone, More Wanted?
The way was left wide open for a
repetition of performances such as
those of the Green Star, the Nafra
Company, the United States Mail,
the Baltic and numerous other COM
panies which bought ships, made
small down payments, got interest
end payments deferred, operated the
ships, took off the profits, in some
cases did not even pay the ships bills
but let the ships be libeled for debt,
forcing the Shipping Board to pay
the debts and take back the ships
from some remote quarter of the
globe to protect its mortgages-oi
else lose ships, money and all. Many
many millions of the peoples money
was lost this way-yet Lasker fought
to continue this method.
To evade necessity of further ad
vertising, and that the lowest pos
sible bids might be secured as 1;
standard upon which to base the ship
prices after the subsidy bill was
passed, Lasker threw that fleet OF
the market when he did, ADVERTISED
it when he did and received the bid!
when he did-and the authority fo
this statement was none other thai
Lasker's co-partner of the board a
i the time-Commissioner Meyer Lis
sner.
In section 202 of his bill Laske
proposed a construction loan fund o
S125, 00O, 900 to be loaned private ship
owners to build new or to reconstruC
old tonnage. These special interest
were to be charged two per cent il
terest, and were to be loaned up t
two-thirds the cost of their new col
struction, or two-thirds the value {
their reconstruction. But Aaron SaI
iro or Eugene Meyer had not pr
posed anything of the sort for til
farmers. Would the farmer-who

A Continued Story

EDITORS NOTE-In his forward, the editor of the Dear
born Independent says: What are We going to do about our
merchant marine? The infamous subsidy measure was killed
and its revival must not be permitted. But influences just as
sinister as those which have gone before are at work today to
turn over the American fleet to interests whose motives are
purely selfish. This, too, must not be permitted. The Dear
Torn Independent, from time to time, in issues soon to appear,
ill disclose, for the benefit of the people and the peoples rep
resentatives in congress, facts which speak for themselves. 1t
is to be hoped that these facts will be sufficiently awakening
for congress to institute an inquiry designed to search out and
make known ALL the truth about the operations of the United
States Shipping Board"
If just one hef of the amazing charges are true-and there
IS no reason to believe that they are not ALL true-the people
should rise up in righteous indignation and demand of their rep
yesentatives in congress, both senators and members of the lower
&Ouse, that a thorough investigation of this matter be made; the
blame, if any, placed where it rightfully belongs; the guilty ones
punished through due process of law, and measures taken to
prevent a recurrence of such nationally dsgraceful tactics in
this, a supposedly Christian, if not an entirely Gentle, nation.
