Six Admitted
to Citizenship
SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS ARE
QUESTIONED by COURT AS TO
KNOWLEDGE OF PRINCIPLES
OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.

Six applicants, who had previously
renouneed their allegiance to all
foreign potentates were admitted to
final citizenship in the district court
last Friday by Judge Ben w. Cole
man. The examination was conduct
ed under the direction of F. NJ. Lit
tleton of San Francisco, naturaliza-
tion examiner from the department
of commerce and labor. and the can
didates underwent a rigorous tests
as to their knowledge of the funda-
mental principles of the American
government.
Those who were clothed with all
the privileges of citizen of the Uni
ted States are Jacob Savage. John
Pescio and Frank A. Dedrichs of Nc
Gill. Peter Ghigliazza of Cherry
Creek, John Miller of Lane City. and
John Wenzel of Tippett.
The petition of Benigo Cruceiani
for naturalization was denied by the
court until the applicant could be-
come more familiar with the differ
ent features of civil government.
Owing to the fact that two years
had not elapsed between the taking
out of the declaration of intention,
and the filing of the petition for
naturalization, the application of Jos.
Biggane of McGill was dismissed
without prejudice to its renewal.
The application of Gust Sellers for
citizenship was dismissed, because
he has removed from the jurisdiction
of the ninth judicial district court.
A techincallty prevented James
Brady from revolving a certificate OF
naturalization. Under the federal
statutes foreigners who have arrived
in this country since June 90, 1906,
must secure from the department of
commerce and labor a certificate of
landing, which must accompany the
petition. The examining officer de-
clared that this requirement had not
been complied with, and that it
would be necessary to dismiss the
application without prejudice.
James Regan OF McGill encounter
ed unexpected difficulties in his at
tempt to become a full fedged
American citizen. The witnesses
were unable to prove to the satisfac-
ton of the court that Regan had
been a resident OF the United States
continuously for a period of five
years.
Naturalization hearings occur in
Ely three times each year on Friday
following the third Monday in
February. June and October. 1t is
essential that applications be posted
In conspicuous place for ninety
days before the time designated for
the final tests
There is one feature about the
naturalization laws with which forei-
gners are not familiar" sid Mr.. Lit
tleton. They do not realize that be-
fore they signify their desire to be-
come citizens that they must procure
from the naturalization bureau at
Washington, a certificate showing
the circumstances under which they
landed in this country. II will give
the petitioners name, the ship on
which he landed, the date of arrival,
and other information of value to the
department of commerce and labor"

The fourth birthday anniversary

in a manner commensurate with the
occasion last Wednesday evening by
a banquet at the Steptoe hotel. A
large number of the members of the
club were present and the large din
ing room of the hotel was fittingly
decorated for the occasion, the tables
being arranged in the shape of a
capital U, emblematic of the clubs
name. while the walls were gay with
college pennants and a large electric
light monogram of the clubs initials.
An elegant repast was served and
Mrs Woods orchestra rendered a
delightful program while the viands
were being consumed, the members
present joining in the choruses of all
the songs. College yells, and num-

piece of poetry in answer to the

TO AID THE LONELY

Miss Edith NJ. Howes, director Of
the Boston Students Cooperative
registry, has worked out a scheme
whereby thousands of the footloose
inhabitants of large cities can be
united into family groups and SO
cut down living expenses to whole
sale rates. She proposes collecting
these footloose inhabitants in groups
of not less than five, build them
homes in the suburbs and inaugurate
housekeeping on the cooperative
plan. While her plans are primarily
for unmarried folks, men and wom-
en-, she proposes to make them so
broad that married people may be
admitted.

EASY WAY TO MAKE MONEY
Five or Six swarns Of Eses VIII Fur
nIsh Both Profit and
Honey.

Five OF six swarms Of bees will
yield a net profit Of $40 or SIS a sea-
son, besides giving family all the
honey it cares to use. Bees require
very little care. Any one in the
country or in a small town should
keep from two to ten hives. More
than ten will either take too much
time and attention or they will be
neglected.
Hives may be purchased, knocked
down." for $1.50, built and painted,
for $3.50. A swarm of good Italian
bees costs 81. 1t does not require
much capital to start out in the bee
business on a small scale. And then
the bees will pay back the cost of the
original outlay in the first section of
honey. In good year there should
be from two to four sections filled
with honey.
Kansas might be the greatest bee
state in the Union, according to T.
j. Headlee, professor of entomology
at the Kansas Agricultural college.
1t is a great big field of plants from
which bees get their nectar. Alfalfa
honey is the finest in the world, and
Kansas grows plenty of it. Jewell
county is the best alfalfa-producing
county, and it is also the best bee
county. However, the whole state is
rich in clovers, and this, also, is good
material.-Kansas Industrialist.

SECOND ONLY TO ANANlAS
Daniel Defoe Told the World That
Robinson Crusoe" Was True
in Every Word.

The author of Robinson Crusoe'
stands out in literary history as the
champion member of the Ananias
club-second only to the man whose
name the club bears. When Defoe
wrote this wonderful story and gave
it to the world in 1919, he wrote a
short preface to his book, saying
that every word in the story was
true. He asserted that there had
been such person in actual life who
stranded on an unknown island. He
always insisted that it was true. The
absurd claim Gid not injure the value
of the story, and if anything, really
enhanced it; for this story, more
than anything else, is noted for its
realistic qualities.
Defoe got the idea for the story
from real life. An Englishman was
shipwrecked, and spent some time on
a desert isle. But so far as the 'ex-
periences of Robinson Crusoe" be-
ing true, they were only the magma
lions of Defoe's brain.

HORSES HOLDING THEIR OWN
Increased Number In France as Whole
Makes Up for the Decrease
In Paris.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
development of the automobile, as
well as of the aeroplane, has proceed
ed more rapidly in France than in
any other country, the use of horses
seems to persist there better than in
some of the slower moving nations.
In ten years the number of horses
in Paris has diminished by 24,210-
that is, from 96,69S in 1901 to w.
4S8 in 1911. This large decrease Ia
trihe over 25 per cent. makes the
increase for the country as a whole
all the more striking. In Paris me-
chanical traction has displaced the
horse on all the omnibus lines and
the horse cab is rapidly disappearing.
The persistence of the horse in
rural France is attributed to the fact
that there, in contrast with England
and Germany, for example, the land
is divided into very small holdings,
SO that the farmers are for the most
part quite unable to afford an invest
ment in mechanical appliances for
traction, ETC., Notwithstanding the
greater eventual economy in using
motors in place of. horses. 1t is ex-
pected that the farmers associations
will be able to devise some co-opera-
tive plans that will give the small
farmer access to the advantages of
modern inventions along this line

EXPLOSIVE DIET.

There is young man in Los An
geles who says he keeps young by
eating nitroglycerin tablets. He is
now seventy-three and declares he
expects to live to be hundred years
old. Such a diet is all right for a
man who does not have to hustle for
a living and has no fear of automo-
bile accidents, whose friends do not
greet him by slapping him on the
back and whose wife does not drag
him into bargain counter rushes. Of
course a man who feeds himself on
nitroglycerin has to live long, for
if he should die there would be no
undertaken daring enough to tackle
the job Of preparing him for burial.
Still it is diet which cannot be rec
commended for football teams.

POWER OF IMAGINATION.

Ventriloquism is declared by az
expert to be largely imaginative, as
there is no possibility of throwing
the voice to a distance. Most of the
old stories of its tricks are fiction.
What passes for ventriloquism con-
sists simply of mimicry and facial
immobility. The performer must
be some distance from his audience,
or he is powerless. Whenever he
wishes to make them believe that his
voice sounds at distance, he mere
ly changes it, and indicates the direc-
ton for their Imagination to take.
He can deceive them sideways, up
ward, downward, or backward, but
he never undertakes to produce the
effect of speaker at their rear. To
a listener close by, no ventriloquist
can be in the least deceptive.

LOVE MATCH OF ROYALTIES
cermany's Crown Prince and HE

Each Other.

There is in the Woman's Home
Companion a very interesting per-
sonal and intimate article about Ger

is twenty-five years old and has been
the wife Of the crown prince for six
years. She has four children. Fol-
lowing is a brief extract from the
article:

wooing as quiet as might have come
any day in any walk of life, he offer
ing his heart to her in a little tea
house at Muritz, quite the most hum

man could have chosen. The beauty
of it is that they are even more
deeply devoted today, and show it
with a frankness that people seldom
attribute to royalty. Naive they are,
too, in this aspect, as this story, told
me by singer who witnessed the in
cident, will show. She happened to
be singing at a musicale at the Mar
bic palace, the home of the crown
prince and princess in Pottsdam.
When she had finished he, leaning on
the piano and looking at her with a
boyish smile, said, 'Cecilie sings, too
