ARE THE AMERICANS" IN THE
MAJORITY?

In view of the fact that much is be-
ing said these days concerning "Amer-
icanism," it is of interest to note that
in number of our states the foreign
born and those of foreign parentage
outnumber the natives" In Massa-
chusetts the peope of foreign birth, or
of foreign parentage number 2,221,-
600 out of a total of 3,324,000; in
Rhode Island the proportion is 372,-

100000 ont of 1,O9s, 900; in New York,
5,715,000 out of 8,945,OO0; in New
Jersey, 1,435,0O0 out of 2,545,OO0; in
Minnesota 1,483,OO0 out of 2,O58,O0O;
while in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan,
Montana, South Dakota, California,
Wyoming, Nevada and Washington
the foreign born and those of foreign
parentage are in the majority. Of the
males of the country twenty-one years
old and upward, only AZ per cent are of
native white ancestry. 1t requires the

WHAT THE FARM SHOULD HAVE

A house which is adequate to the
needs of the family and equal to any
house in the community as home, if
not house.
A barn that looks pretty good to
the neighbors who pass by and feels
pretty good to the stock that pass into
it.
A few shade trees that hide some
of the hot sun and hard winds, but
none of the beauty of the place.
A COW that is worth her weight in
butter and that is not for sale.
A bunch of hens which do a lot of
cackling and laying and the rest of
the time are scratching for themselves
and their owner.
A dog that will bark at strangers
and sometimes at the moon and that
will wag his tail when the neighbor
comes up the walk.
A we'll that never runs dry, horse
that never runs shy, and bill at the
grocer's which is never allowed to run
high.
A garden which has something
growing in it all the year round beside
weeds.
A mail box that is seldom empty
when the carrier comes round and is
never empty when he leaves.
An orchard that will bear all kinds
of fruit and any kind of inspection.
A father whose sons will lend help
ing hand in solving all Of the prob
ems of making the farm pay.
A mother whose daughters will re-
lieve her of the hard work in the house
and see that she takes vacation once
in a while.

OVER THE STATE

As far as Tennessee is concerned
the outlook for a full crop Of corn
has not been better in several years,
is the tenor of the reports received at
the state agricultural department by
its correspondents and others enti-
tied to speak on the subject. The sea-
son throughout June was fine for the
growth of the crop, and since it was
laid by the rains have been just right
for the full development of the grain.
1t is said that nothing now short Of a
disastrous drouth can do any harm to
the crop. The wheat yield, however,
will fall far short of an average, no
report Indicating higher than 60 per
report indicating higher than go per
cent.

BEST DEFENSE IN SWORD
OF SPIRIT, SAYS PREACHER
Munition Plants Do Not Mean Pre-
paredness, Lenten Speaker Asserts

Preparedness does not consist in the
production of munition plants" said the
Rev. w. l., Hunton at the monday Lenten
service in St Johns Lutheran Church,
today. 'The best preparedness consists
in the word of the Spirit waging conquests
of love. and not prosecuting the jealous
rage Of men. 1t is offering forgiveness
and returning good for evil.
I'm view of the Christ spirit, how anti
Christian is the international spirit of
hate that has been engendcred by the great
word-war. To crush and to destroy, to
capture and to kill, to starve and to ruin
out of jealous and malicious rage is the
spirit of Satan, and not the spirit of
Christ If the forgivlng Saviour could
only be lifted up again upon the cross, He
would overcome the world with love and
the war would cease. For He said, In
Me Se have peace" In Him who an
swered the taunts of His enemies and the
cruel thrusts of His crucifiers with n
prayer for forgiveness, we have timely
lesson for those who are preaching and
inaaming international hate. He who
could call fire, who could open the earth
or call down legion of angels 10 crush
His enemies, prays rather for their full
and comple, forgiveness He even re-
Dukes one of his followers for drawing
sword in His behalf
mot guns, but Bibles: not Accent cent?
meters, but prayers. should be our weapons
of preparedness. The sword of the Spirit
is set to win the real victories of the
world.

CARMEN PREPARE TO FIGHT
Want to Organize Their 5000 Men
and Defeat Existing P. R. T.
Plan in July

Harry F. Flynn president of Division
All of the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees Of
America, who sent out letters several days
ago urging the 600 motormeu and con-
ductors of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company to organize, announced today
that this was preliminary move to defeat
the cooperative plan under which the
men are working, and open the way for
better wages and working conditions.
Flynn said the Rapid Transit employees
are not satisfied with their present agree
ment with the company. The associa-
tion intends 10 make a test of the ques-
tlon whether the men wish to continue
under present conditions or TO come into
the union.
The existing arrangement provides that
questions calling for adjustment shall be
decided by Joint committees representing
the employees and employers. In July
the men will vote on the question of ratify-
ing the cooperative plan for another year
The carmen's union has never recognized
this contract between the company and
the men, and, according to Flynn. the
case will be brought TO an issue In the
July balloting.
The intention OF the union Is to work
for the adoption OF the Toledo plan. which
allows the men 3s cents an hour and pro
vides for a 10-hour working day, pay and
half-Day for overtime, two weeks yaea-
tlon every year with pay and the recog-
milton OF the union
Thomas e. Mitten, president OF the
Rapid Transit Company, declined to COM
ment on the situation.
