The Value of American Citizenship One of the surprising features of the registration of aliens here was the exceedingly large number of old residents and descendants of early German pioneers whose names were enrolled. A measure of sympathy must be extended to some of the young men who went to police headquarters, for they are not directly to blame for the unfortunate plight in which they find themselves. On the other hand, many of them knew that their fathers had not completed their naturalization. They let the matter go by default all these years. In other cases, the young men actually believed their fathers had taken out second papers, and only an investigation of the court records proved the contrary. The community is not condemning these young men. It appreciates the position in which they find themselves. Some of these young men fought in the Spanish-American war. They are listed among our substantial and trustworthy citizens. The old German pioneers, however, should have manifested their interest in this government by letting no stone unturned until they had become bona fide citizens. This was their new home, it should have become their fatherland at the earliest moment. The Americanization process is simple. It requires no large outlay of money and time. The value of full citizenship seemingly had little appeal to these men. They were satisfied to enjoy our material prosperity, without assuming the full duties and obligations of citizenship. Now by a turn of history they are subjecting themselves and their children to the necessity of being enrolled as aliens in a land in which many of them have lived forty and fifty years, for which some of them fought in the Civil war, and which is calling their children and grandchildren
into service. The value of full American citizenship is ap parent now when it is too late to obtain it.
the waves. Great Britain has speeded up the ship-building program to such a point that her submarine loss is offset by the new vessels that are launched. When the United States entered the war, the Allies requested her to pay special attention to the construction of ships, both to transport our own troops and to give added tonnage for the supplies which our associates in arms required. The building of ships was to be one of our immediate tasks. The Emergency Fleet Corporation through the State Councils of Defense will try to enlist 250,000 skilled workmen this week in its shipyard volunteer reserve. The purpose of the reserve is to create a body of skilled workers who can be called for service in the shipyards when needed. The classes of workers especially sought are:
Acetylene and electrical welders, asbestos workers, blacksmiths, anglesmiths, drop forge men, flange turners, furnace men, boilermakers, riveters, reamers, carpenters, ship carpenters, dock builders, chippers and calkers, electrical workers, electricians, wire men, crane operators, foundry workers, laborers, loftsmen, template makers, machinists and machine hands, painters, plumbers, pipe fitters, sheet metal workers, coppersmiths, ship fitters, structural iron workers, erectors, bolters up, cementers and crane men. "The organization," said Chairman Hurley of the shipping board "is to be composed of workmen who are willing to give a good day's work for a good day's pay ; workmen who are not asked to sacrifice present positions to rush madly off to the shipyards which may not be able to accommodate for the moment, but who stand ready, when called' upon to do a particular job for a particular wage in a particular place and who enroll themselves so that when needed they may be readily reached. "The need of the Nation is great. The shipping board has the money, the housing of men is being arranged for, the yards are being completed and the materials provided. "It is planned to make a careful selection o'f men whose places can be filled without hardship, and who, when called upon to give up the job they now hold, will have waiting for them definite positions at definite wages in definite yards."
Richmond manufacturers and workers havei
responded patriotically to the call. This work is of the highest patriotic order. The completion of ships and the conservation of food are the two great tasks before the American people now.Conquest and Kultur "The hatred bestowed upon us by the whole world may be classified as the hatred of an inferior race for a superior one. To the devil with all talk of kultur ! As if any soldier would have gone to the front for the sake of striving for kultur. What our armies, our sons, and brothers are fighting for is a greater Germany, with boundaries that will insure us against an attack by highway robbers such as we have lately been exposed to."

CUTTING EXPENSES I love to ride in a touring car And zip on the old stone road. I love to tour to the burgs afar And joke with the merry load. It's the jolliest thing Iknow by far, And my heart in rapture melts. I love to ride in a touring car When it's owned by some one else. I love to work with the knife and fork, It's jolly, you will agree. To hear the pop of the champagne cork Is pleasure enough for me. The well-filled table that's good work. I'm strong for quail and grouse. I love to work with the knife an,d fork In some one else's house.

The Importance of a County Agent It savors as a reflection on our community intelligence to addece reasons for the necessity of appointing a county agent. His worth to the agricultural interests of the county can be measured in dollars and cents. His worth to the business interests also can be computed in terms of finance. The only persons who do not want to admit his worth to the community are about a half dozen politicians. They know that this appointment ought to be made, but they are holding off for "political" reasons. Now the voters of this county put patriotism above politics, a fact which this handful of politicians will soon learn to its sorrow.
If there ever was a year when the services of a county agent are in demand it is this year. The seed corn problem has attained national proportions. Adverse weather conditions interfered with the harvesting of a crop that is suitable for seed. Extreme caution must be exercised by farmers to obtain good seed. Knowledge of seed testing is necessary. Expert advice must be sought and correct methods applied. A county agent possesses the training to give expert advice on such vital questions . Progressive farmers seek the service of a county agent. They welcome his suggestions. Wayne county farmers want an expert. But a few obstructionists say no. The appeals of our government asking for the greatest care in planting and harvesting crops meet no encouragement from them. Instead of co-operating
with the government by appointing a county
agent, this little group of petty politicians is letting personal consideration frustrate a patriotic service. Public opinion in Wayne county does not hesitate to act against unpatriotic men and movements. Tolitics will not thwart the patriotism demanded in the appointment of a county agent. 250,000 Skilled Workers Needed One of the maxims of Marfare is that an army must keep its lines of communication open.

The Grouch's Corner. If you let your wife waste your money, you are a fool. If you don't let your wife waste your money, you are a brute. If you lose a lot of money, you are idiotic. If you make a lot of money, you are a crook. If you dance, you are frivolous. If you don't dance, you are a back number. If you are poor, you are no good. If you are rich, you got it by robbing the poor. If you die young, you are dissipated. If you live long, you attain your old age through laziness. Can't please anybody any more. So, why worry?

But there were plenty of potatoes. Once in a while the father brought home some wild game. When he didn't Abe and the rest ate potatoes. Potatoes, morning, noon and night. Meals began and
ended with potatoes, and often with nothing else on the bill of fare. "Not only were they (potatoes) all the Lincolns had for dinner sometimes, but," says Ida M. Tarbell, in her "Life of Lincoln," "raw potatoes, pared and washed were passed around instead of apples or other fruit when neighbors called evenings." Never, then nor afterward, did Abraham Lincoln complain because he didn't have wheat bread, beefsteak, pork chops and plenty of sugar in his coffee in those early days of his life. His trousers were made of roughly tanned dear skin. The skin of wild animals were made into coverings for his head and his feet by his mother. The family made its own soap and candles out of the

"Oh-hi-hum! It's Tough to Have to Get Up This Way Every Night." The principal cause of this trouble is chronic enlargement of the prostate gland, and of this and of the new agent upon which Kellogg's Brown Tablets are based, the medical authority quoted above says: "A symptomatic cure is usually achieved The frequent impulses to urinate and
the recurring desire at night cease. Successes with this salt have been had in men of ninety years." Think of it!

All birds I love, but dearer is none to me Than the soc!al robin, whose home is the dooryard tree. A cordial comrade, confiding in me as a friend, His notes with a lifetime's happiest harmonies blend; A place has he in all household fellowship And memories deep that cling with tightest grip; The children love him; my neighbor is he by choice. A bird with domestic heart and a human voice! The orchestra of the birds is attuned to suit All sentiments; bow tender the laughing flute Of the happy wren; the flicker's drum how gay; What glee in the clanging cymbals of the Jay! And the violin of the thrush pleads, wooing tears, A melody winging the wraiths of sweet, dead years! But the robin sings, he voices the love of the nest, And chords his song with my heart, and it pleases best. STOKELY S. FISHER.

More brains than metal are used in building this
Brains are hard to find and come high, but they are the cheapest in the long run. In a great organization like the Maxwell Motor Company which, in four years, has done a business in excess of $100,000,000, there are many great minds. These great minds have found a way to make trucks stronger, yet lighter in weight (more thought and less metal went into the truck). These great minds have found ways to build them better, yet at less cost. That's one reason why you can buy a Maxwell for $400 less than any other truck of similar capacity in the world. That's one reason why the Maxwell has a verdict of close to 100 perfect from its service record based on the 6600 Maxwell trucks now in use.
