GETS WORK FOR ALIENS
BUT none FOR NATIVES

Washington, Feb. 2S.-There were
S0,657 aliens, naturalized citizens and
native Americans who got informa-
ton from the government regarding
opportunities for employment and
places for home building in this coun-
try in the fiscal year of 1911, as
compared with 1929 in 1910, ac-
cording to a statement just submit
ted by the chief of the division of
information Of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. This work
has been undertaken by the United
States to more equitably distribute
the immigrant population and as a
means Of relieving the congestion OF
aliens in the eastern part of the
country. This statement declares
that the need for agricultural help is
so great in many instances farmers
do not hesitate to intercept help di-
rected to their neighbors and by Of
fering larger inducements secure
their services. The wonder is that
many more are not turned aside from
their destinations.

ers are up-to-date in their methods.
Crops from this county have won
prizes at the big fairs and land
shows in eastern cities. Besides
grain. vegetables and fruit, Sew
ard county has stockmen. whose
ranges are covered with thorough
bred horses, cows and sheep. The
members of the Poultry Associa.

a band to furnish music; the money
with which to settle the expenses;
and the people to assist and to at
tend. There's no earthly reason
why we cannot have a fair. Lets
do it.

We noticed an article the other
day advocating the taxing of the
farm dog. Someone certainly is
looking for trouble. We had
thought the political situation fur
nished excitement enough for most
anyone but it seems that it is too
tame for a few.
In town, where all dogs are tax
ed, the penalty for non-payment is
the death of the dog. Can you i'm
agine q man brave enough to make
the rounds of the countryside kill
ing off the dogs on which taxes
have not been paid9 The men who
faced the British troops at Concord
certainly had nerve but even that
nerve would not suffice for the job
of farm-dog killer.
We know it is fashionable to
plead for the killing of the cur,
but who is to decide what is a cur
and what an aristocrat in the dog
familyl 1t is all so common to call
the farm dog a sheep killer but we
have yet to hear of a case IN Kan.

This transaction was brought
about by the Secretary of State,

After the storm Mr.. Farmer re-
