Closing In on the Aliens.

We are coming to the day when an
alien who has been here one year and
has failed to go home or become one
of us will be made to fish or cut bait.
He must stay as a citizen Of America
or get back to the land he loves. We
who have sons will appreciate the
good work done in the passing Of the
law whereby aliens can be drafted.
Why shohld my boy carry Spring
field to save country for an alien
to live in and send his profits to the
old country which could not feed him :?
After a year in America ask them
why they stay? If America is good

Decide Quickly

A lot of men are giving up their
time to put over the Second Liberty
loan. Make it as easy for them as
possible. The best way to make it
easy is to have your mind made up
as to the most you can take, and then
sign your subscription quickly so that
the solicitors can hurry on. The banks
will attend to the details as to making
your payments. They will suit your
wishes and necessities-Fergus Falls

Our Boys Are Acquiring French.

Choosing the natal day of Lafayette,
President Poincare of France reviewed
the American troops under command
Of Gen. Pershing at their training
camp. As the latter explained, the
day was more memorable, as it also
marked the anniversary Of the begin
ming of the battle of the Marine, one
of the HISTORIC battles in the worlds
history. .... -..
President Poincare's address to the
boys in khaki was brief, but felicitous.
He quoted President Wilson's state
ment that the nations are fighting for
the same ends, and the interests of
the United States are at stake every
where. The allied armies, he said,
are at grips with the enemy, whether
it be in Flanders, before Verdun, or on
the >Isonzo. He concluded with the
shout: 'Long live President Wilson,;
long live the United States"
President Poincare spoke in French,
which somewhat puzzled our boys, but
they got the drift of his sentiments in
true American fashion. <*What did he
say?" asked one Of them. 81 don't
know exectly," was the reply, ''but I
think he said to give 'em hell"
"That's the stuff" was the hearty re-
Spouse, and the explanation brought a
rousing cheer for Poincare as it
passed down the line. -San Franciscan.
