New Naturalization Law.

Lie new Ieu6TdI udb III dllZdIfOu law,
makes it quite difficult for foreign born
persons coming to this country to be-
come citizens. The questions propounded
to the applicant are many and the writ
er doubts if seven out of ten of the ma
tive born could answer them. The re-
quirements of the law are as follows
and are published for the benefit of for
eigners who may contemplate becoming
naturalized:
ALI persons of foreign birth must take
out first and second naturalization pa
pers in order to become citizens of this
country unless they come under the fol-
lowing exemptions; in which case they
take out only one set of papers:
A person 81 years of age who has been
honorably discharged from the United
| States army.
A person 21 years old who has served
| five years in the navy of the United
States.
You can get your first papers the first
| day you arrive in the United States, if
you wish to do so and are 18 years old
and over.
You must live five years in the United
States before you can ask for your second
papers.
| Your first papers must be two years
old, and you must be full five years
in the United State before you can ask
for your second papers.
You can get your first paper as soon
after you are Is years old as yov see fit.
You must be 2l years old before you
can ask for your second papers.
| If you have lived in the United States
before you were 18 years old that time
counts just the same as it does after.
A first paper taken out in one state is
good in another.
To get your first papers, call at the
courthouse in the county in which you
live, and the clerk of any court, author
lied by law to do so, will make it out for
you.
To get your first paper will cost 81.
You must make application for your
second paper within seven years after
you get your first paper because the first
paper is useless after thatlength of time.
