GOVERNMENT EXPERT IS
HERE MAKING STUDY OF
CHRISTOPHER MENACE.

c.. N. Ainslie of Sioux City, Ia.,
special agent of the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture, has been spending sew
eral days in this section of the state
studying the grasshopper ena
which has become quite acute in GER
tain localities, especially in portions
of Hettinger, Bowman and Slope
counties. Exhaustive examinations
show that the hopper eggs are every
where in evidence this year, but es-
pecially on new breaking. Mr.. Amslie
is cooperating with the state depart
ment and county agents in planning
the eradication of the eggs to as
great an extent as possible.

own, made out Of dreams and mem.
orics-an ideal land, the land of ou1
fathers.
We forgot our children.
When we set foot on Ellis island we
decided their future for them. They
had no say in the matter. We hac
turned our backs upon the life of the
Old World and we set the faces OF
the born and the unborn toward a
future here in America, where the
speech is English, the ideals of lib
erty Anglo-Saxon-Franco-Cel t.
We chose these surroundings for our
children-and then we tried, for our
selves, to live here as detached parts
of Germany.
We forgot our duty to u children
the born and the unborn, the gener-
atoms to come of men and women
bred of our blood, looking to US for a
square deal.
In thinking of our fathers we for
got u sons.
Are we going to make the future
hard for Jul American .children-we
who freely chose America for our
selves as well as for them-by cast
ing over them the cloud of disloyalty
to America in this, her time of SUI
prcme testing?
Do we want for them the rule we
left behind US when we chose for
them the place to be born?
Do we hope the kaiser will win this
war?
Do we want Canada a German
province,
Do we want German forts and
armies as next door neighbors?
Do we want German laws and regu-
%l2tions here in America?
Then why in the name of William
Hohenzollern did we not say where
we already had just what we wanted ?
The answer is: We don't want
these things.
We don't want Bill Hohenzollern or
aryy of his sons to boss us.
We Americans who came from
Germany don't.
We don't want war with Germany,
we can say that without finching;
but much less do we want our children
bowed under the yoke that we es-
capped. War with Germany is prefer-
able to that.
Behind us memories, and the land
of u fathers.
Before US hopes, and the land of
our sons.
Between these VIC are now forced
to choose.
There is but one choice we, Ameri-
cans as we now are, can make. Here
our children have been born, here
they must live, here they will die,
leaving u blood flowing steadily on
into the great stream of American
life.
And here we must cast our lot with
them, rather than with the past that
burdened our fathers, and that now
bears down with crushing weight upon
the German peoples.-Farm, Stock
and Home.

There is no reason why the house
should not promptly pass the joint
resolution sent in by the senate call
ing for the inclusion within the draft
of alien residents, excepting, of
course, subjects of Germany. These
strangers have been welcomed by
America and most of them given a
measure of prosperity they did not
possess and could not hope for in their
native lands. If they r to enjoy
the advantages of life in America
they should be compelled to meet it's
responsibilities.

It was regrcttable to note during
the patriotic parade On Tuesday last
that one or two places remained open
for business despite the mayors re-
quest that all business houses close at
4 o'clock. In view of the fact that
some stores turned out with their en-
tire sales and business forces to par
ticipate in the parade, it seems only
just that the other store proprietors
would at least do their "bit of patrio-
tism" by locking the front doors of
their establishments for a couple of
hours.
