TINE TO BE THINKING

The spectacle OF an army OF un-
employed foreigners, mostly Poles
and Italians marching through one
of our great cities to demand of the
mayor that they be provided with
work would be ludicrous IL it were
not SO serious. 1t is enough to start
the American people TO thinking
little and to agitate more than
ever the immigration question. TO
what are We coming when band

were these foreigners demanding
that they be given work. but they
we're insisting that they be not In

people were awakening?
For the foreigner who comes to

Song of the Valley.

At the recent publicity and boost
ing rally at Wheaton. the greatest
possible enthusiasm existed and
there is no doubt but that something
will be doing from now on. Many
prominent boosters from all sections
of the state were present and result
was determined to do something for
that section and attract settlers.
The following Publicity Rally
SonR'' is one that can be used with
good effect in this section of the Red
River Valley:
There's Z land in the West, that-hxs
ever been blessed,
The Red River Valley 'tis named:
Where crops ever grow, where pure
waters flow.
The Red River Valley 'tis named.
Where towns ever work with toilers
In dirt,
To dill up their pockets with gold;
No trouble annoying. each one is en-
ioying. s
His home in THE Valley we're
told.

Nor healthier, SUMNER clime:,
Than he finds in the Red River
