(Cheyenne Tribune) It is intoresting to compare the figures of the Cas- per Building and Loan association with our local as- sociation at Cheyenne. The Casper association ma- tured its first series in 87 months; the average at Cheyenne has been,about 112 months. The Casper stockholders paid $87 and received $170, the profit being $83. In other words, for the use of $87 for 43% months the Casper ‘stockholder was returned 95 per cent of his investment, or about 24 per cent ‘per annum. The Cheyenne stockholder at the same time was making a little less than 12 per cent on his money. Just how the Casper borrewer figures it we are et u loss to know. It is certain that with the same se- curity he gives the association he can get money at a great deal lesser rate of interest’ Between May, 1920, and February. 1921, the premiums paid for money in the Casper association did not go below 40 per cent and the highest was 56 per cent. Think of it! The man who pays 56 per cent premium for “money receives only $44 on each hundred of his loan. He couldn’t afford to borrow money at that rate if he wes running a faro bank. The average premium of the Casper association during the first eight years of its existence was 30 per cent, while that of the Cheyenne association for the like period. 'was 19.3 per gave them the slip and escaped to Canada in « high power car and from there on to Germany. The Wilson administration, Secretary of War Ba- ker, the military authorities, prison authorities, attor- neys—none of them lifted a band to recapture the prisoner. The buck as to responsibility was passed one to another, until now we have Harris’ confession of responsibility. Erwin Bergdoll, a brother, is serving time at Leay- |enworth for the same crime that Grover was con- victed of, and the mother and another brother are awaiting sentence for aiding the brothers in their evasion of military duty. The entire outfit were, dur- ing the war, openly and notoriously pro-German. All these facts were familiar to Gencral Harris, yet he permitted the prisoner to be taken from confinement, on the flimsiest excuse imaginable, and even ordered that the usual precautions be dispensed with out of consideration for the prisoner and his family. Har- ris has kept quiet until he was cornered by the in- vestigators. The whole Bergdoll transaction smelis mighty fishy and it looks extremely bad for the officer who or- dered the release. No difference who or what he is. Any officer who is soft enough to be flimmed by any such fanciful story has no business in the United States army in any capacity, If he isn't cited before a court martia! on at least one of a half dozen charges the executive department of this government is dis- honoring its institutions and insulting “every loyal American boy who answered the call and fought in France. And if the American government does not find a, way to return Grover Bergdoll to the country he has proved traitor to and increase his punishment to life it will not be doing its duty to those who de- fended the flag in the war Grover Bergdoll ran away from. in SON ES AN IMPROVED AIRPLANE. America is sinning away her time in the matter of the development of a strong air uervice for war and other purposes. .W re lagging behind every prin- cipa) nation of the earth. There is no excuse for it. While we are busy pulling the hero stuff and patting ourselves on the back others are busy doing practical things. France has invented and developed an airplane that rises direct from the ground, while American invent- e gone to sleep waiting for government en- couragement and support. The machine is called a helicopter. Simply described the machine is constructed of a series of horizontal plancs revolving in opposite di- rections. There is a base similar to that of a low- slung automobile. On this is built two series of hori- zontal planes, each series composed of ten planes. The usual aijolane motor starts the planes and the effect is to make the machine rise straight up from the ground. In the experimental work a small gas bag has been used for safety purposes, but the work is so far’along that these bags are being abandoned. The real originator is a citizen of Argentina, but the French cngineers have adopted and improved upon the idea and are making practical flights. The American government had the same opportun- ity the French government had to secure the idea, but Ls are to improve it. It is considered a most valu- able idea in aviation and materially affects sea war- fare, as a plane is enabled to rise direct from the deck of a ship. “If this country is to maintain her naval power, as it now appears, she is omitting some- thing when she fails to adopt the new plane. Lata TO JUDGE FITNESS. The ministers of a Massachusetts town have formed a combination in restraint of trade. That is, certain cent. kinds of trade. They have met and resolved that they will not perform the marriage service for couples i Our Exchanges Ole Quits the Job, (Wheatland Times) After being dug from the sewer ditch, where he was buried to within “ few inches from the crewn of his head, “Ole” Nelson declared that he sad no further interest in municipal improvement and resigned. ‘The bottom of the ditch walls in places are of teacheous quick sand, and several men were partially buried before measures were taken to fore- stall accidents. The excavating force was compelled to dig first around Nelson's face to permit him to breath while they went on with the disin- terment. The ditching machine is now dig- ging the trenches through the addi- tion in the north part of town, and are making slow progress on account of the necessity of guarding against accidents. Hospital Officer Arrives. (Sheridan Post.) Maj. John B. Anderson of the medi- cal department of the United States army, who will be fn charge of the reconstruction of Fort Mackenzie, ar: rived in the city yesterday from Seattle. Liowever, Major Anderson brings no information as to when ac- tual operations will begin. His or- tes are to report at Sheridan and turther orders must come from Wash- ington before anything ts done. It is reasonable to infer, however, that the beginning of work will be delayed but a short time. The city and county are both engaged in forwarding the work on the roads which was prom- ised and the remodeling of the fort into a hospital will no doubt begin at an early date. Reopen Highway Offices. (Sheridan Enterprise.) After being closed for five months the district highway office in Sheri dan was reopened Monday under the authority of Z. E. Sevison, acting-exe- authority of Z. B. Sevison, acting exec- ative of the state highway commission in Cheyenne, with Sheridan and John- son counties forming a new tempor- ary district for the state highway work. . Horton Whipple is in charge of the office as acting district engineer, and takes the place left vacant when J. KE. Jellick restgned to ‘take the position as fie-d secretary of the Custer Hiway association. Champion Lion Slayer. (Cody Enterprise.) During March and April, William Rowley of Wapiti, turned in to the U. 8S. biological survey, six moun- tain lions be had killed in the Cody district. ‘The skin of the last lion is now on exhibition in the basement of the cap- itol in Cheyenne. The lions have been working havoc in fhis district.

In speaking of the closing of the first series of|known to have been rejected by any other. minister stock in 87 months, the secretary of the Casper asso-|on moral Hewes: They will also refuse remarriage ciation says that he is assured that it is the record for|to the guilty party in divorce proceedings and . all associations of this character. He is doubtless cor- rectly informed. He believes that series No. 2 in his association will eclipse this record. Stock in the Casper association at the end of the seventh year was worth $154.74; stock in the Chey- enne association at the end of the seventh year was worth $112.89. The only way in which one can account for the high bidding in the Casper association is that the building boom there has been continuous during the entire pe- riod since its organization. From the standpoint of both borrower and lender there is no question but that the Cheyenne association is running on a more evenly balanced keel. The borrower pays a good rate of in- terest and the lender fares mighty well. Both asso- ciations are running without hazard to the share- holder. Sheridan, Evanston, Rawlins and Laramie have as- sociations that are th- counterpart of the ones com- pared, the Laramie a-=sciation being by far the lar- gest one in the state. ee ere reas PALMS AND SOFT WORDS. “Around Washin; seethes and swirles little groups,” says the iladelphia Ledger, “bent and de- termined upon disbanding the army, scrapping the navy, melting American guns into medals to hang upon themselves and forging the sword of America into gilded halos to place upon their own misguided brows. These are the limelight hunters, the seckers after the spotlight. Of such are many. of the most vociferous of the disarmament folk. “These would go tripping forth with sweet words in their mouths and palms in their hands to argue mat- ters of national life and death with an enemy armed to the teeth. “They have their own little patter as to the causes of wars, gleaned from the archpacifists of the ages. It merely pains and bores them to recall the great surges of humanity that have run through the cen- turies, the urges that have sent whole races moving as the salmon move to the sea. They believe that the long courses of ages, of time and of history can be changed by a resolution. “It seems to be their hope that, somehow, America ean be prevailed upon to stand up with naked hands and bared breast in the midst of a world that is now armed as never the world was armed before. They others ie ministerial association deems unfit for the sacred nesponsibilities. ‘ Thus does this ministerial union set itself up to be the judge of the qualifications of those who apply to enter the marriage state, although bearing authority of the civil courts in the form of a license. It is the duty of the civil officers to examine into the fitness of ‘applicants under oath.touching all such matters. And while a clergyman may decline to perform the ceremony it would seem the entire responsibility is on the civil authorities. In that Massachusetts town it simply means that the patronages of a considerable proportion of the couples seeking marriage, will be transferred from the parsonage to the justice’s office. Seo TET KICKING ON THE PRICE. In this day of struggle to pull down the high cost of everything, when every man’s hand is against the’ profiteer; and the humblest.among us are beginning to look twice at a hundred dollar bill before we light a Camel cigarette with it or even throw it to the dogs, what have you got to say to the proposition of Mr. Tex Rickard demanding fifty bucks per ringside seat to witness the Dempsey-Carpentier international ath- letic exhibition to be held at Jersey City? And if the session is anything like the one pulled by Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Willard, we'll tell the sporting fra- ternity of the wide world, it’s too much kale. Those of you who just cannot remain away had better begin to get friendly with the banker at once, for there are traveling expenses and meal ticket still to be considered. LAYS CARDS ON TABLE.

THE BLAME FIXED. By the acknowledgement of Major General Peter C. Harris, adjutant general of the United States army, responsibility for the release of Grover C. Bergdoll, the notorious draft evader, from Fort Jay to go into the mountains of West Virginia to dig up a pot of gold he claimed to have buried there, is finally fixed. General Harris gave the order 2t the instance of Sam- uel T. Ansell, one of Bergdoll’s lawyers, and John W. Westcott, the man who nominated Woodrow Wilson in the Baltimore and St. Louis conventions and an- other of the numerous Bergdoll attorneys. Bergdoli evaded the draft by hiding out for nearly ® year, was finally captured, convicted and sentenced to five years in prison. The use of money was in no way stinted. The Bergdoll family is a multi-million- aire one, made so in the brewing business.
