Throughout the whole period the

Throughout the whole period the
Robischons have tempered the pub
lie tastes in carbonated beverages.
They saw it pass from such early
favorites as birch beer, champagne
cider to the era when elders in all
fiavors were public demand. Then
public fickleness drove out the
elders, brought the present era of
cola drinks. OF them all, grape is
a lone bystander of all the years.
Some of the yearly favorites were
the now seldom heard Of peach
cider, the legendary sarsaparilla,
raspberry cider. These in their
day were best sellers of the NOM
emit.

DUDLEY MORSE AT
FIELD
Enlisted in Air Branch
Of Army For School
Training In Texas

I'm in the army now" And
that statement relayed to his par
ents the good word that Dudley
Morse had been accepted and en-
listed into the Randolph Field,
Army air school, near San An
tonic, Texas.
In a letter dated September 28th,
received by Mr.. and Mrs. G. ".
Morse, of this city, Monday, he
said, well, I'm in the army now,
got sworn in yesterday. Will be
in recruit training for a month
before we start in our chosen field.
So sorry I can't enjoy your cold
weather, but kinda like it down
here"
Thanking local Company Ms
captain, Carl Fischer, for aid in
quickly getting his discharge from
the local unit, Dudley said, Got
the quickest action of anyone on
my discharge. Thanks Carl. Most
of the boys have to wait Is to 20
days or more"
Now at the Field, the largest
Army air training base in the Unit
ed States, he passed his examine
tions shortly after his arrival, but
it was necessary to get his dis
charge from Company M before his
enlistment could be made in the air
service base, it was announced.
Dudley was, after he had applied
for entrance, notified of his accept
ance several weeks ago when he
was on hitch-hiking tour in the
west. Earliest attempts of his par
ents to locate him were fruitless,
but he arrived in ample time to
leave for the field.

BABY DIES AS
HOUSE BLAzES

ORIENT, Wash.-one child was
fatally burned and four other
members of the Victor Hodgson
family were in a critical condi-
ton as result Of a fire that de-
stroyed the Hodgson home here
late Monday.
Hodgson's 2o-month-old daugh-
ter died In flames that apparently
started from an overheated stove
and spread rapidly throughout the
frame building. A sister, Merna,
IL. was given a bare chance to
live.
Two other sisters, Leona. Is, and
Eileene, s, and Hodgson were seri-
ously burned in the blaze, and Mrs.
Hodgson escaped with burns on
the hands and arms. Howard, Ia,
and Berle. 9, were also burned but
their condition was not believed
serious.

Former Head of Louisiana
University Is Sent to Prison

In addition. Smith pleaded gull
ty to:
1. Forging the name Of the Rev.
Gov. o. X. Allen to a S11e.0 900
bond issue and drew a sentence
Of three to nine years.
2. Forging the minutes Of the
L. s. U. board of supervisors to
allow issuance Of $4,000 worth
of bonds to buy the Bienville hotel
in New Orleans, for which he was
sentenced to serve three to nine
years.
3. Forging the minutes Of the
board of supervisors to permit the
issuance of a 100000 bond issue,
for which he was sentenced to
serve one to three years.
Judge Charles A. Holcombe
ordred that the two three-to-nine
year sentences should run concur
rently and that the other two
would run concurrently-making
total of five to Is years.

Work on these has already begun.
Diversion of Clover creek, near
ly complete, has given engineers a
surprise or so. Digging a new
channel, workers ran into numer-
Gus springs and at least one full

result, although Clover creek has
not yet been shifted, the new chan
mel has cold. lively flow Of
water.
Find Peat Bog
Clover creek at the present time
winds anonymously directly across
the flying field, but shortly II will
be diverted into the new channel
and the old bed will be filled. The
field. incidentally, except for the
two runways. is exceedingly un-
dulating and will take a lot of
leveling.
One large portion of the field
was found to be a peat bog and
steam shovels are busy there dig
ging down to solid ground. To
have covered the peat with gravel
would have been futile as the
gravel in a short time simply
would sink, leaving the peat as
before.
Heating and electrical installa-
tons are expected to be made
within the next few days, but work
on the sewage system Is only in
the blueprint stage. Plans now are
to run a sewage pipe from the
field to Fort Lewis, approximately
six miles away. Electricity, 1t Is
understood. will be furnished by

Marshal Foch Believed
Napoleon Was Superior

LONDONDERRY in 1921, few
weeks before the centenary of Ma
poleon'S death, Wickham Steed, IA
nous journalist and former editor of
the London Times, asked Marshal
Foch (who knew more about Ma
poieon than any of the other Allied
generals) whether he thought Ma
poleon would have done better than
he had as commander in chief of the
Allied and Associated armies in the
closing period of the war, or wheth-
er modern conditions would have
made Napoleon look small.
"Foch answered." says Mr.. Steed
Tin his book, ''The Press') that he
had often put this very question to
himself when he passed before Ma
poleon's tomb at the Invalides dur
ing the war, and had come to the
conclusion that Napoleon's infinite
capacity for taking pains would have
enabled him to master modern war
conditions in about six weeks. Then.
said Foch. he would have invented
some new tricks, found some new
dodge, and would have Knocked the
astonished enemy head over
heels {"
