PAGE 8° COUNTY ROADS NEED ATTENTION, SAYS CAR OWNER Main Highways Could Be Light Surfaced in Few Days Be- lieves G. A. Rawlings “The state highway commission and the county commissioners ought to! get together and put a light surfacer on the roads in Burleigh county,” said Dr. G. A, Rawlings, a well-known au- tomobile enthusiast, today. Dr. Raw- lings has just madea trip over many of this county's highways and says that they are badly in need of improve- ment. “By hitching a light surfacer behind a Fordson tractor or one of the many four-wheel drive trucks the state has idle up at the capitol, 40 miles of road a day could be dragged and smoothed,” said Dr. Rawlings. “I believe that the entire Red Trail through Burleigh county could be so imnroved in one day and the cost would be very small compared with the results. Each north and south trail could be treated in a day also. Fill Holes; Pick Stones “Special attention should be paid to the innumerable holes and stones in the roads, especially the main high- ways, and if the state and county of- ficials would devote just one month to improving these roads, the results would be surprising. “It is impossible to state the amount of damage done to automobiles, farm- ers’ as well as city drivers’ because of the poor condition of the county roads. The cost of light surfacing the roads, even if the work were con- tinued without interruption for one month, would not, in any estimation, be as great. as: the cost of repairing and upkeeping automobiles which are jolted on the county roads.” Much Money; No Roads The county has spent several hun- dred thousand: dollars on th? roads and it impossible to find a good one in all of Burleigh. The Red Trail and the Bismarck-to-Minot road, after their recent rains, are especially in need of attention. Visiting autoists form a poor opinion of the progres- siveness of this county by riding over these poor roads. JUVENILE OFFICER BUSY. Rev. George B. Newcom), juvenile officer for the 12th district was called to Mandan to be presen: at a hearing in the juvenile court called by judge Hanley in the case of a ‘Mandan fam- ily of four children. As a result of a ‘hearing it was stipulated that all four children be placed under the guardian- ship of Mr. Newcomb. It was further ordered by the court that the two youngest children be placed in private homes for adoption. Mrs. George B. ‘Newcomb as matron of the Society For the Friendless went to Mandan on Tuesday in company with a young girl from this county, who was placed in the state industrial school. Opium. Opium ts the dried juice of the white poppy, :a- flower that grows in many parts of Asia, A few days after the flowers have fallen off the plants men go:through the fields in the afternoon and make little cuts in the poppy head. Out of these cuts a milky juice oozes, which dries into a brown, sticky paste. Every morning the men go through the fields again and scrape off this paste, which they put into jars. Later on it is made into half-pound balls and theu packed for shipment. Early American Statesman. Alexander Hamilton, one of our greatest statesmen, was sometimes called “Alexander the Coppersmith,” because of the copper cents he had made in 1793, when he was secretary of the treasury, These pennies were very unpopular with the people. He was killed ina duel by Aaron Burr, » TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY LOST—old signal corps pin.

Lahr Says New Models Will Be Biggest Sensation in Auto World’ putor for the Over- land and Wil Knight automobiles, retrned yesterday from Toledo, where he made an inspection of the factory and conditions there and looked over the two new models which the Willys- Overland people will put out this month. “The factory is now starting on the new models and by, October 1000 cars a day will be turned out id W. E. Lahr, di Mr. Lahr tod “Labor conditions are entirely utisfactory and more than 75 per cent of the men are back.” Mr. Lahr was enthusiastic about the two new models which the Over- and company is now turning out. One an Overland and the other a Wi Knight. The new models will be played in the Bismarck salesrooms by | August 15 and weekly shipments of | 10 cars will follow. “This new model Overland is going | to be the biggest sensation of the} motor world,” said Mr. Lahr. “We! are not saying much about it just now as we want the people to decide for themselves what is meant by ‘Over-| land's new wonder car.’ Never before have such values, conveniences and perfection been embodied in one car.” LOMAS HARDWARE NOW HANDLING FIRESTONES Another dealer, the Lomas Hard- ware Co., is now handling Firestone | tires and tubes in Bismarck. This familiar and popular brand of tires has proven to be one of the most successful for use in this section, ac- cording to Mr. Lomas, and automo-} bilists find that they can secure a very | high number of miles out of Fire- stones. “Our line of Firestone tires and in- ner tubes is very complete,” said Mr. | Lomas today. “I find that they meet) the exacting needs of autoists regard- less of the severe use they put the} tires to. All of our customers are Firestone boosters and are greatest sales are to those who already have used this popular tire on their cars.” FRENCH & WELCH HANDLE OF WASHINGTON LINE, AND SHE CAN SHOOT WARY WASHINGTON MOROSINT: CALDWELL, N.

HORNER LOOKING FORWARD TOVISIT WITH OLD CHIEF Bismarck Veteran of Indian Wars Served Under Scott at Ft. Lincoln The approaching visit of Major Gen. eral Hugh L. Scott, former chief of staff, to Fort Yates holds unusual in- terest for at least one Bismarck citi- zen. ‘This is Jacob Horner, old-time Indian’ fighter under Custer and other famovs generals, and who for almost forty years has been a substantial resident of the capital city. “I got my discharge from General ‘Scott,” said Mr. Horner today, “and I don’t believe any soldier ever had a fimer discharge. I served with Scott when he was a young second lieuten- ant at Fort Lincoln.

Major General Scott started in as a young man to make a good officer, says Mr. Horner.

He immedj- ately won the respect and affection of hig men, and even as a green second- lieutenant he showed the promise that has since been fulfilled. Mr. Horner, who served five years with the Seventh cavalry, Custer’s old command, first met Major General Hugh Scott, then “Shavetail” Lieu- tenant Scott, at Fort Lincoln, just across the river, early in 1876, before the Custer massacre on Little Big Horn.
