REPORTS GREAT.
IY EXAGGERATED
Thirteen Applications for Citizen
ship Here Since Worlds
War Began.

In spite of the stories which have
been given much space in the news
papers, regarding the rush of aliens
to the courts to procure naturaliza-

tary service in foreign countries,
during the world war, Hamilton
county had but thirteen men who
applied for papers from July list,

in America five years before he
may procure his final papers; also,
two years must elapse between the

opportunity, if they have previously
filed applications, to appear in court
and be admitted formally as United
States citizens.
Seven different countries have
been represented in the applications
received, of which the greatest num-
Der have been from Norway. Norwe-
gians make good American citizens
and are usually valuable additions
to the ranks of citizenship. Govern
ment Inspector Body of Washington,
d. c., was in the city in May to look
over the records and if here during
court season takes the deposition of
the second application.
Those who have applied for nat
uralization papers during the past

Fine New Porch.

The contract has been awarded
for a fine new porch to be construct
ed around three sides of the l.. a.
McMurray home on Wilson avenue.
The porch is to be built in Colonial
style, two story, with white columns
and foundation of brick. Upon the
south and opening from the dining
room sun porch will be construct
ed and the arrangement in style of
architecture will be such that more
light will be admitted to the library
than formerly. The old porch, which
is being torn away, kept light from
entering. The covered driveway will
be upon the north, the hall having
been constructed with this end in
view several years ago. A door will be
cut at the north end of the hall with
exit into the covered pergola or
driveway and the entire porch built
with an idea of both comfort and
beauty. When completed it will be
the finest porch in the city. Levi
Rasmussen has the contract for the
new structure.

GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago, Sept. 14.--New York re.
ports about 100000 wheat taken for
export so far today. The cash wheat
premiums are against larger trade.
We continue bearish on wheat for
the long pull but recognize that Chi
cago and United States wheat sup.
plies of the farms are about the
highest ever known. Looks as
though it will be October before cash
wheat is below the dollar. Would
change short September wheat into
May and would expect further wheat
rallies after dips. Fate Of the corn
crop will not be known until well in

A Beautiful Pansy Bed.

Among the beautiful flower gar
dens of the city recently noted in
the Freeman-Tribune, mention was
unintentionally omitted of the
unique arrangement of pansies in
front of the S. X. Virtue home on
Division street. When this street
was paved and the curb line set sew
eral feet beyond the old line of curb
ing, nearly every property owner on
the street industriously dug out the
old curb stones and let a fine stretch
of green grass extend from sidewalk
to curbline. Mr.. Virtue did not do
this. Instead he saw possibilities for
a flower bed between the lines of &C.
ment curb and set the space thickly
with small plants of tufted pansies
or violas. The flowers are as small
as an English violet and are of that
family although partaking of the
nature of pansy. Hundreds of the
deep purple little faces with their
of light blue and yellow
dot the space between the two curbs
and bouquet of them are as frag
rant as so many English violets. So
far as known this is the only bed OF
these tufted pansies in the city.
