Must Obey the Law.

One of the first things the newly
organized public domain commission
is going to do is TO get after certain
railroads which run through wooded
districts and which are not living up
to the law requiring that effective
spark arresters be maintained on all
locomotives. Instances have been re-
ported where the mesh has been used
so long that holes as big as a pan
cake have been burned in them.
A good many destructive forest
fires are started by sparks from loco
motives. The worst offenders are the
small roads. whose principal traffic is
hauling logs out of the woods 20 mills,
or logging branches of few of the
more important companies.
The domain commission. having au-
thority over the state game warden in
his capacity as state fire warden. has
directed him to notify the railroads
that they must have good meshes on
the stacks of all their locomotives
and keep the meshes closed all the
time when running. or else the law
will be put in force.

NATURALIZATION
IS NECESSARY
SOME SUPPOSED CITIZENS ARE

GIVEN JOLT BY NEW LAW.
Many Cases In Washtenaw County
and Elsewhere Requiring Attention
Of Foreign Born Voters.

1t is estimated at the county clerks
Office in Ann Arbor that there are be-
tween 500 and | 1000 men in Washte-
nav county. who are either foreign
born or the sons of foreign born par
ents who have been voting for years
at local and general elections, but
who, under the new naturalization
laws, are not citizens. They are
chiefly of German stock, for most of
the foreign born. or second genera
ton, in this county, belong to that
stock.
A large majority OF those who have
lost their citizenship on account OF
the new law are said to belong to the
second generation. Their fathers took
out first papers, but did not bother
about second. Under the old loose
naturalization regulations they exer-
cised all the rights and privileges of
complete citizen, even to holding
township Offices. on their first papers
and no one bothered TO question their
right to do so. Sons who were minors
when the family came from Germany
have taken 1t for granted that they
are now full citizens, although the
fathers never took out any but first
papers.
The new law is clear that unless a
father took out both sets of papers
before a son attained the age of 81
the son must now himself take out
first and second papers. An inspector
from Washington who was in Ann
Arbor recently said that conditions in
Washtenaw are not exceptional, but

citizens, but are not. and who may
be incOnveniently appraised of the fact
should they be elected to an office, or

their citizenship. He says that all
who came TO this country as minors
should lose no time in ascertaining
whether, before they reached their
majority, their fathers took out full
papers.

shelled corn, oats and bran makes an
excellent feed ration. Do not neglect
the bran part. as that keeps the sys-

ewes in time, so they will not run
down and get poor before Landing

care of her lamb. for she has nothing

If you have comfortable quarters,
so you can take care of the early
lambs, you will find that March lambs
are the best for market or breeding
purposes, as they get more size by
fall and are ready to eat grass when
1t comes, the cheapest feed on the
farm.
Use a good, pure bred ram on the

will more than repay the extra ex-
pense and you are getting a better
