RIGHT KIND OF IMMIGRATION
Farmers by Keeping In Touch With
Their congressman Can Exert
Beneficial influence.

To the Officers and Members OF the
Farmers Union:
One Of the evils menacing America
today, and least understood in Its seri-
BUSINESS, is that Of indiscriminate i'm
migration. AS It is, the country is
full enough of different citizens. Yet
through Ellis island, and other entry
ports, ne continue each year to pile
up an accumulation OF diverse nation.
alities that never can or will be as
simulated by our people. To restrict
the laws, and construct sensible bar
riers is the task to which we should
address ourselves, and no class is
more directly interested In 1T than the
farmer.
I have no sympathy with the old
'know-nothing" contingent in America,
which used to pride itself on the slO-
gan, america for Americans only" "
and excuse ignorance or sloth on the
1imsy pretext Of patriotism. Neither
would I put an fnhexible embargo up
on entrance into this country. Ever
since we set up in business as repub-
lie America has been an asylum for
the oppressed OF all lands. They have
| looked toward the Statue of Liberty as
synlbolizing all that is good and hope
/ full and inviting to those who failed
from some cause to secure a square
deal" in their own countries.
But do recognize that we have a
definite duty to perform not only to
the present generation, but equally tc
those who are to follow US. II we al
low ignorant, unfit, diseased immi
grants, or those with no respect FOL
| our institutions and with inability te
assimilate our ideals--to come II
without let or challenge, and to occupy
the land like a swarm Of locusts, we
shall be working poorly for the Ameri
cans of tomorrow.
America has been called the melt
ing-pot Of the world, in that 1t receives
into its capacious spaces hordes from
almost every nation, melting them Ii
to common substance and turning
4 them out Americans. But industrial
4 troubles-cropping out on the farm
as well as in the great labor centerg-
warn us that there is such a thing a
overcrowding the melting pot, such
thing as throwing into 1t Ingredient
that will not mix with the best an,
most enduring elements of American
citizenship.
The farmers, by keeping in touch de
terminedly with their congressman
can exert beneficial influence In pre-
ducing the right kind Of immigration
We do not wish to be harsh, bigote
or intolerant But We are under n
obligations to accept the refuse Of OIL
er nations and the first instinct wit
republics, as with individuals, is tha
of gelf-preservation.

Locked Horns Tell Of Fight

right, for the long prongs OF the big
horns were sprung on the right side
over the shovel, while the smaller
ones own short, curved prongs were
hooked in front, over and under the

And this charge must have brought
death to the larger moose, for one Of

thirst.

Barn Door Hangers.

It Ia important that the barn builder
select satisfactory sytem Of door
hangers and carriers. Imperfect
hangers, says The Farmer, viii ruin
the door, and are constant source
of trouble While this is only a detail
OF barn building, it is one of those de-
tails which cannot proitably be neg
lected and the barn builder will do
well to carefully consider the hangers
he selects, SO that no mistake can be
made in this direction.

Blood Meal for Calves.

A little blood meal, commencing
with a teaspoonful and gradually In
creasing to a tablespoonful at each
feeding, Is said to have beneficial re-
suits with calves that are not doing
very we'll, but as this meal contains
about so per cent of digestible pro-
tein 1t would hardly seem to be a
proper complement to skim milk for
continuous feeding.

had done some free nursing
Miss Dorman very little, how
ever. She acted as the ornament
of the group. As to the naughty
Miss Rushton, all she pretended
to do was to donate the raw ma
terial for the really industrious
ones of the club to sew into gar
ments.
One of these latter was Nettie
Lane, who sat in corner of the
room now, engrossed in the task
of making four tiny night robes.
The rest Of the group were chat
tering and gossiping. Whenever
Doctor Eversley's name was men
toned, Nettie'sG eyes frightened
with interest. 1t was mentioned
very frequently.
''The way Cyrille Rushton has
set her cap for the doctor is sim
ply brazen, observed Sarah
Bates, who had graduated into
old maidenhood several years
ago.
Not half as bold as Breda's
sly puss way" broke in cynical,
wasp-armed Selma Marion. "She
pretended to have neuralgia, just
to get the doctors attention"
Plain, quiet Nettie smiled to
herself. She was happy in know
ing that the doctor had made
quite a friend and confdant of
her. Miss EVersley had taken a
decided fancy to her. Nettie was,
in fact, very close to the doctor;
something in their natures. har-

If anybody had told Nettie that
these ripening friendships indie
Gated a chance to capture the
handsome young physician, she
would have been overwhelmed
with confusion. Such an idea had
never entered her sensible little
head. For all that, she knew she
had never met a man whose kind
ly, human spirit had so awaken
ed respect and admiration in her
pure, gentle soul.
"And what do you say of all
this babbIe, our little busy Dor
cas-" challenged Miss Bates, no
ticing the unobtrusive Nettie.
81 only know that Doctor
Eversley is a very splendid man."
replied Nettie softly. @Why, I
am making these little triles for
a child who belongs to a family
that the doctor has practically
taken charge of at his own ex-
pense. He.is a good, good man"
Nettie grew so enthusiastic
that she flushed consciously Miss
Bates gave her aNkeen look and
whispered to Miss Morton.
cit can't be possible that little
nobody has ideas"
about the DOCTOR" said Miss
Morton. ooh, ridiculous"
Nettie finished her work some
what later and went home. Miss
'Rushton came in, then the lady

arrived. He brought note from
Doctor Eyersley. It was adj
