TWENTY YEARS
AGO THIS WEEK

Edgar Wardwell was in town last
Friday. He had 24 acres of barley on
old potato gronnd which threshed out
2lO bushels or SO bushels to the acre.
This Is a record breaker for barley so
far as heard from.
There is penalty for killing prairie
chickens before they are ripe, but &C.
casionally the boys forget about the
law and go out to see the grain fields,
and il a chicken should fly into the
wagon it is called an accident. Last
Saturday four mighty hunters went
up north to see John Bertrand's g crops
John has a notice on his premises
forbidding hunters to trespass. Clay
Parke's farm joins Bertrand's Clay
has no notice posted but he posts him
self with gun to see that no son OF
gun kills chickens on his farm. Well,
the hunters we're admiring the charms
of landscape from the broad acres ON
Bertrand's domain, when some fool
ish chickens got up and exposed their
whereabouts. They saw the hunters
and decided to seek the friendly Sc
clu,ton of Clay Parke's cornfield. The
hunters followed and were about to
kill bird when up rose Clay with
gun in hand and began hurling thun-
derbolts OF electrified English at the
hunters, who thought all the game
wardens in the state were behind
Clay. The curtain might as we'll drop
now because the last act In the CO.
medy was not on the program. All
parties are alive at this writing, be-
cause there were no barb wire fences
to prevent a scientific retreat
Albert and Oscar Carlson have each
purchased new Napoleon bicycles
from Glendinning 8 Scott. The Ma
poleon is beauty.

A Feather In Carlson's Cap

That States Attorney A. B. Carlson
of this county is one OF the best law
yers In the state has been proven
time and again. He knows the law
and his decisions stand In the high
est courts.
This week he won another victory
over the silver tongued Sioux Falls
gentleman who has a penchant OF
running for governor OF our fair state
aud Carlson trimmed him up and
licked him properly at Lennox in the
case of the state vs. Enenga, for as
sault and battery, Carlson scoring
every point and all the bonn hastic
elouuence of the great orator from
Sioux Falls availed him naught.
He kicked on Justice Crowley's
court room and wanted him to hire
the town hall, but afterwards he was
rather glad that he did not spread
out so much.
Some fifteen or twenty witnesses
were called and the case created quite
a stir but all of the much touted chin
music turned loose by the Power City
gent could not down the facts OF the
law as clearly set forth by our own
States Attorney and the jury brought
In verdict against Enenga and ne
paid a fine and costs amounting to
over 800.

5000 CHURCHES UNITE TO SOLVE JAPANESE PROBLEM

rect1on Of the Federal Council. Ac-
cording TO this statement. the true
interests Of America require just one
thing. the promotion OF mutual
friendship with Asia and the abandon
ment by the United States OF differen-
tisl race legislation. DR.. Gulick is
mistaken in his belief that II real
amity and concord Is desired with the
Orient America should give up its
differential treatment OF Asiattcs.
In order to avoid economic conflict
and development Of Ill feeling on the
part OF Japan or any other Oriental
Power, and at the same time to pre-
serve the integrity. dignity and full
rights OF Americans, whether residing
here at home or In Eastern lands,
DR.. Quick proposes the adoption OF a
new immigration policy by the United
States, OF which the following Is a
brief statement:
America should admit as immi-
grants only NO many aliens from any
land as she can asslmilate.
Assimilation. however, takes place
largely by means Of those already as
simulated and naturaliEed who know
the languages customs and ideals Of
both peoples-our and theirs.
IAN immigration should, therefore,
he limited to a definite percentage (say
per cent? annually from each land,
OF those already asslmilated from that
land. This rate would allow to enter
all who might come from northern
Europe; II would cut down immigra-
ton somewhat from southern and
eastern Europe and allow only slight
immigration from Asia This would
avoid the objection of differential
treatment OF the nations and so be IN
equal harmony with the dignity of all.
provision should also he made for
the care and rapid assimilation Of all
who do come TO America. II IS. there
fore, important to establish n bureau
OF registration: all aliens to be and to
remain registered until they become
citizens. The annual registration fee
should he. say. SO.
"A bureau Of education also should
be established, TO set standa rds. pre-
| pare text books, and hold PXamina
| tons free of charge. The annual reg +
| istration fee should he reduced with
| every examination passed.
| "A bureau OF naturalization, furt her
more, should be organized: certificates
| Of graduation from the bureau of edu-
| cation and certificates from the bureau
Of registration as TO good behavior of
intending citizens should he essential
| to naturalization.
IAN new citizens should take tho

Regarding the matter Of education.
DR.. Quick shares the opinion ex-
pressed BY many other students Of
modern development, that in the
United state citizenship itself Ia made
so cheap that those upon whom II is
conferred do not appreciate it's value.
Instead OF being held as the single
greatest object Of attainment. Ameri-
can citizenship means nothing TO null
titudes OF immigrants. beyond added
advantage in business or political af-
fairs Therefore, he would have all

was decided upon is in itself Of more
than usual interest. During twenty
