The Grant County Herald is positive
ly right when remarking that it is well
enough to have the tremendous tide Of
immigration to this country now while
prosperity is upon the land and every
man who is able to lift hoe or handle
shovel can find work, but look into
the future. When the tide of prosper
ity slackens or stops or perhaps sets
backward with a mighty force, what
will be the effect Of undesirable scum
from the lower Italian provinces and
the low coast Huns scattered over the
entire country? What we need from
the coming congressional session is a
more stringent immigration act. We
have room for desirable immigrants,
but for no others.

Largest Power Dam in World


With expenditure I S25. coo. =
900, the great dam which spans the
Mississippi river at Keokuk, Iowa, has
been completed, and the waters of the
river will soon be producing enough
electricity to furnish the Mississippi
valley from st. Paul to st Louis with
all the power and light necessary. AS
a power dam, the river barrier is the
largest of its kind in the world. The
Assoun dam on the Nile is larger, but
is used for purposes of irrigation,
while the keokuk dam has been con-
structed for the sole purpose of manu-.
fatpring electric power. The dam ex-
tends for mile across the river be-
tween Keokuk and Hamilton forming a
lake thirty-five feet deep, Is miles long
and four miles wide This great piece
of work gives US vision of the time
when every drop of surface water will
be harnessed again and again before it
reaches the sea, furnishing power and
light TO every city, hamlet and farm
house in the nation at minimum ex-
pense. The kickapoo river should and
could furnish electrical power to every
point within a radius of twenty-five
miles. Conservation of forest and mine
demands that this unclaimed energy be
no longer allowed to run to waste.

organized, In Weimar, the socl-

and the school did a good work,
and the latter came to be an Inn

system Of the city. In 1920
the school was taken over by
