THE LITTLE HOME PAPER.

By Charles Hanson Towne in American Magazine. The little home paper comes to me, As badly printed as. it can be: It’s ungrammatical, cheap, absurd— Yet how I love each intimate word! For here am I in the teeming town, Where the sad, mad people rush up and down And it’s good to get back to the old lost place And gossip and smile for a little space. The weather is hot, the corn crop’s good; * They’ve had a picnic in Sheldon’s ■ Wood, And Aunt Maria was sick last week; Ike Morrison’s got a swollen cheek, And the Squire Was hurt in a runaway— More shocked than bruised, I’m glad to say, . Bert Wills—l used to play ball with him— Is working a farm with his Uncle Jim. The Red Cross ladies gave a tea, And raised quite a bit. Old Soli MacPhee Has sold his house on Lincoln Road; He couldn’t carry so big a load. The Methodist minister’s had a call prom a wealthy parish near St. Paul. And old Herb Sweet is married at ■ last — iHe was forty-two. How the years rush past! i But here’s an item that makes me see What a puzzling riddle life can be. “Ed Stokes,” it reads, “was killed in

France When the Allies made their last advance.” Ed f Stokes! That boy with the laughing eye. As blue as the early-summer sky! He ’ wouldn’t have killed a fly—and yet; Without a murmur, without a regret, He left the peace of our little place, And went away with a light in his face For out in the world was a job to < do > .. And he wouldn’t come home until it was through Four thousand miles from our tiny town And its hardware store, this boy went down, Such a quiet lad, such a simple chap— But he’s put East Dunkirk on the map!

TAKE STEPS TO PREVENT SMOKING AMONG MINORS

A commendible movement on the ■ part of a group of Remington citi- | zens has been started to enforce the ' anti-cigarette law in this town. It is deplorable fact that a great number, l if rot the majority of the minors here smoke, and heretofore little has been. said in opposition to it. The habit has reached such proportions that the citizens are forced to take drastic action in order to prevent it | from spreading among the younger, boys. A notice has been served on all’ business houses dealing in tobacco that the sale of it to minors must stop. The law holds it an offense not only to sell but to give cigarettes to minors, and a minor that smokes is considered a delinquent. It is to be hoped that it will not be necessary to make an example of anyone in order to show that the community is in earnest about prosecution of violators of this law. —Remington Press.

15,000,000 FIGHTING TO EMIGRATE TO AMERICA

New York, December 2.—Fifteen 1 million men, women and children of all social and economic ciaasificatiorW, gespresenting every nationality in Europe, are fighting for passage to the United States, according to reports submitted by seventeen trans-Atlantic steamship company representatives to Frederick A. Wallis, commissioner of immigration at Ellis Island. Every seaport city and town along the western and southern coasts of Europe, they said, was crowded with persons who, in their eagerness to leave for this country, have sold their homes and everything they possessed. Passport offices abroad were reported to be besieged by applicants. They also expressed the opinion that 5,000,000 Germans and Austrians were packed /up and ready , to sail as soon as the United States makes peace with their governi ments. Commissioner Wallis, who went to Washington today for a conference . with members of the house and sen- , ate immigration committees, said ; all records for immigration had i been broken recently. I “Eighty-seven per cent of immigrants enter the United States i through Ellis island,” he asserted, j “and there are 2,000 persons there > tonight who are shamefully crowd--1 ed. There is no use denying the fact that we have not enough room and they are still coming. “It would amaze one to know that on one particular day the Polish foreign office had 311,000 applications for passports. We are getting splendid men and women from Holland, ‘the Scandinavian countries and Czecho-Slovakia.”_ More immigrants are arriving from Poland than from any other country ,he said. Most of these people are Jewish. Commissioner Wallis said there we/e at least 1,000 persons at Ellis island who because of disease and other reasons would not be admitted. He added many immigrants arrived at the station showing the effects of malnutrition and that the hospital is always overcrowded.

TO SEIZE STOCKYARDS

U. S. Asks for Trustee to Take Possession. Government Petitions District Supreme Court to Sell Property of Five Big Packers at Chicago. Washington, Dec. 2. —The government petitioned the district supreme court to appoint a trustee to take possession of and sell- the stockyards property of the big five packers. By Its petition the government has taken an affirmative stand on the question of disposing of the Chicago packers’ stockyard interests, according to counsel for the department of justice. It was explained that heretofore the government had merely objected to plans offered by the packers without suggesting a method pf divorcing the properties as required under the consent decree in the packer cases. Formal protest is made against the joint proposal of the Armour and Sw'ift companies in modification of the original project of all the packers for a holding company for the stockyards properties to be organized by F. H. Prince & Co. of Boston. The government also objected to the separate plan presented by the Morris company, but obtained a week’s extension to file its views as to the Cudahy company’s plan, the last to be presented to the court. Opposition to the Prince holding company scheme was based on the contention that it would prevent operation of the properties under separate interests, such as stock raisers and feeders- /.

To the Morris plan, which provides that the.concern assign all its stock to a trust company named by the court, the government objected on the ground that it was not in accord with the' decree requirement that the packers, divest themselves of their stockyard properties. The government also argued that Morris 4 Co. would retain the right to fix the price of securities to be issued by the trust company, | no.t permitting the court to determine, a fair price. The government also as- ’ serted that not sufficient assurance j was given that the Morris company’s, relation to the stockyard properties would be entirely broken off through the removal of officers and employees. <
