Recent developments in the rep- arations fuss, with England wi'ling to take her remaining 6.000 Tom- mits out and France standing pat .2 keeping her 54,00% there, recalls the sudden withdrawal of the residuc of American troops from Coblenz in 1923. | Yankee Force Dwindles ! A year before the war department | sought permission to bring home| Major General Allen's command from | Coblenz, the Yankee contingent had | dwindled to a third the size of a war- time infantry regiment. The small- est force at present in the region is Belgium’s—2,800 men which she, in sympathy with England, has agreed to reduce by evacuating the ten-year | zone. Not since the transport St. Miliel landed the last thousand regulars from the Rhineland at Savannah, Charleston and New York has Wash- ington had any connection with mili- tary sanctions for enforcement of Peace treaties terms. “Well. it's your own fault, mother; them to come over sometime, instead of naming a date?” cans 1919 NEA satvice Xe Mother's Anxiety for Son Put Police on Trail That May Lead to Noose The whittling down of Allen's force | the police on a dim trail which was in line with the policy of Presi- dent Harding and Secretary Hughes to decrease Germany's economic bur- dens to facilitate a reparations sct- | ¢| tlement.

The women of South Kensington. who outnumbered the men voters by nearly 27,000, waged a serious cam- paign to keep him out of Parliament. He succeeded in winning the elec- tion with a margin of 20,000, one of the largest in the whole election, and @ few weeks after his success at the polls married Miss Constance Mar- tiott, the daughter of a major in the Dragoon Guards. Marriage Frowned On After the marriage in the regis- trar's office Sir William and his bride went to the church of St. Ethel- burga, Bishopsgate, where Dr. W. F. Geikie-Cobb gave the blessing of the Church of England. The church frowns upon the re- marriage of the guilty party in a di- vorce action though the ceremony is approved in the eyes of the law.

In all of the cases examined the carriers had obtained permits to operate a Class B motor freight serv- sweetheart, with a middle-aged wom- an!

And sitting, as they were, in the front row, where Molly could hardly keep her eyes off them all evening. Such a woman, too! “If she were young and pretty, I wouldn't mind half so much” fumed Molly, But that, of course, was wrong. She would have minded a great deal ice but it was found that they were operating as Class A carriers. The law designates a Class B carrier as one who does not operate between fixed termini or on a regular sched- ule and who performs services for one individual at a time. Class A carriers operate between fixed termini on schedules approved by the railroad board and have rates covering their services. Three of the carriers operating in the Minot district were ordered to limit themselves to operations as Class B carriers and the same ruling was made in the one case from the Jamestown district. Four carriers in the Minot district were ordered to make application for Class A permits if they wish to continue their busi- ness on the present basis. Those ordered to seek a change of classification were: J. N. Roles, Glenburn, operating between Glen- burn and Minot; J. J. Vick, Douglas, operating between Douglas and Minot; Joseph Strong, Velva, operat- ing between Velva and Minot; G. L. Granville and Minot. Those ordered to restrict themselves to Class B operation, together with the routes which they hve been ille- gally following were: Don Thompson, of Maxbass, oper- ating from Maxbass to Minot; D. O.

No more drug store cowboy pose left in your brother Buck. And another thing, as Andy Gump says, every boy in these camps will know enough, when he gets home, to take off his hat when the flag of the United States passes by, and won't have to have it knocked off by someone’ like Doc Snell. Ask Homer if he remembers buying a new hat after last Memorial Day? Boy, phe Doc did mash up that hat for im. You would be surprised at what these camps do for some of the boys.

Good look- ing more. “The wretched creature!” she fret- ted. “Done up like a circus rider, and fat enough to burst! A woman like that would wear red—it’s exactly the color of her face.” There was no doubt about it. It was Mrs. Bulwer-Eaton all right. “A charming matron,” the papers called her! Well, Molly knew what she'd call her—only the papers wouldn't print it... The big fat ox! Hadn't she sense enough to know that coquetry in a woman of her age was simply disgusting? The way she was hanging on to Jack's arm! And Jack red as a beet. Molly was glad he had the decency to be embarrassed. At last it was over. The curtain came down on the last act. And the lights went up over the theater. Mrs. Bulwer-Eaton was clapping her puffy hands. And her diamonds were gleam- ing like mad. “Author! Author!” cried the audi- self on the stage, bow- She was wearing yellow tonight. Yellow taffeta, with an enormous bow in back, like the bustles of long ago. Over her shoulders she wore a spangled scarf of chiffon the color of water-lily leaves. Mrs. Bulwer-Eaton, against her crimson front, clasped a corsage of white orchids. With a quick move- ment, she snatched them from her gown, and threw them at Molly’s feet. Molly had meant to ignore Jack. But now she for the and accepted them with a smiling nod. Jack's face was as scarlet as his dy’s gown. Molly was glad if he was embarrassed. She wished he would burst a blood vessel. It would serve him right! Afterward she had supper at the Exclusive Club with Mr. and Mrs. Durbin. And there they saw the morning papers. On the front pages were the threats of the censors! They meant to close the show. To padlock the theater. To arrest the author and the producer and all the actors. Molly's coffee cup clattered from her hand, and, breaking on the table, spilled its amber contents over the skirt of her lovely yellow frock. But Mr. Durbin struck his knee with his hand, with a mighty slap. . “Great!” he applauded. “Great?” baa ia! nee faintly. She felt as she did that day in Pension White, when she opened the cable that told of Rita’s death. Quite as if she were going to faint, and slide right under the table.

Green, Michigan's chief executive, some day may deplets the state by $20,000. It will represent his salary for four years, the state paying him the mag- nanimous sum of $5,000 a year to di- rect its corporate activities, The pile of salary checks is grow- ing. The governor now is serving his second term, which will expire in 1930. Right now the governor has approximately 60 checks whose total value is $13,000 tucked away in a drawer. ‘What the governor, who is not de- Pendent upon the pay from the state for a living, plans to do with the money is a matter of conjecture in the capital. Only Governor Green knows. The common guess is that the wad of checks will be turned to the credit, of his little granddaughter, Nancy, for if the governor's affection for the P| child could be measured in money, the girl would command at least a ‘million. A prosperous furniture manufac- turing business pays the governor big dividends, so he can afford to save his salary. ; Smith Hughes School Unit Promised Linton Linton, N.
