THE ESSENTIALS OF LOYALTY

Newspapers in various parts of the
country are reprinting and calling
the attention of naturalized citizens
to the oath which is subscribed when
a foreign-born person is admitted to
American citizenship. with the advice
that they read il over anew" in
solemn contemplation of the situa-
tion that now confronts the country.
This oath is as follows:
81 hereby declare. on oath. that
| absolutely and entirely renounce
that abjure all allegiance and fidelity
to any foreign prince, potenate. state
or sovereignty. and particularly to
(name of ruler or foreign country
from which applicant for citizenship
comes), of whom | have heretofore
been a subject; that | will support
and defend the constitution and laws
of the United States of America
against all enemies, foreign and do
nestle; and that | will bear true
faith and allegiance to the same"
Let us add the thought that the
essentials of loyalty and patriotism
are in no way different whatever for
the naturalized American citizen
than for the native-born American
citizen. In fact. the obligation
should be stronger to the man or
woman who has from birth enjoyed
the blessing of liberty and enlight-
ened free government. One and all
are in duty bound to support and
defend the constitution and laws of
the United States against all enemies.
foreign or domestic and also to
bear true faith and allegiance" to
the republic.
There can be no dual citizenship.
no simultaneous adherence to the
cause of this country and of its
enemies. no distinction of birth. an
cestry, creed. color. politics or sec
ton. 1t must be unauthorized
Amercanism and no mental reserva-
ton.

ter of the ring to give them final in

II went TO Joe's dressing room
during the intermission after Cad
docks fall and when the Caddock
henchmen were clamoring that the
match be awarded to Earl on the
grounds that time was up and Joe
refused to return. | told Tony to
hurry and get Joe out, but he replied
that Joe said: Il won't go back and
you can't make me go back and no
body can make me go back" Know
ing Joe, | then hurried out and in
formed the referee that Joe refused
to return. But it is all history now,

Stecher was not himself, he was i'll

indeed, was the whole affair"

TO be short but emphatic,

Stecher to save my life. But l de-
feated him last night, squarely, hon
est and unequivocally. and | think,

by one fall and default, as the
records must show. l had Joe down

referee. And what's the use any

great honor-and that man was Joe

THE BOYS ACRE CORN CLUB

Every boy in Audubon county who
can possibly do so should join the
boys acre corn growing contest
which is being promoted by num-
Der of our public spirited citizens
and backed by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture and the Agricultural
College, Ames.
II costs a boy nothing to join; he
receives valuable information and
literature on corn growing which
alone is more than worth the effort
of growing the corn. Besides this.
the money reward from an acre of
corn is an item not to be overlooked.
1t is almost certain that abnOrmally
high prices will continue this year
and the return from rs to 100
bushel acre yield, which was not an
unusual record among the corn boys
last year. is a sum welcomed by any
boy. Then too, there are prizes to
be given to county and township
winners in the contest, educational
trips to the Ames Winter Short
Course or a trip to the International
Livestock show at Chicago.
The Iowa Boys Corn Club men,
hers have been doing great things
the last few years. Last year 2100
boys entered the contest. Scores of
them demonstrated that 100 bushel
yields are possible in Iowa. In 1915
winners in the club grew an average
of 91.9 bushels per acre. nearly so
bushels more per acre than the men
of the state. If all the men had
equalled this record it would have
meant millions of dollars TO the
state. The boys showed that good.
well bred seed corn pays. We need
a lot of these young demonstrators in
the county. They are pointing the
way to more improved methods of
agriculture. They are going TO be
the farmers and business men of to-
morrow and they need to be efficient
and up-to-date.
Parents are urged to get their
children interested in these club pro-
jects. Fathers should realize that
the acre corn contest is a contest
willing for the cooperation of father
and the boy" 1t will make the boy
more interested in his farm work
and make his labor more valuable.
Give the boys an acre for farming
project of his own and let him bank
his profits in a savings account. He
will be less likely to want to leave
the farm when his help is most need
ed. That father who can make a
partner of his son while he is young
is on the right track. 1t pays to
direct children in the right way.
Now is the time for the boys to
take up corn club work. Within a
few weeks planting will start in this
section. There is time to get into
the game now The club leader in
this county is F. c. Sampson. Write
to him for information and an en-
rollment card. Any boy over 10
and under 10 years of age may
join DO 1T NOW and help boost the
corn club in Audubon county.

lieve Gene Melady, said Stecher had
injured his neck and would not come
back for another bout. Then l
awarded the maten to Caddock,
which was the only thing to do under
the circumstances.
Later on in Stecher's dressing

conceded the last fall. Then l saw
Hetmanek at the Fontenelle hotel,

THE MEN

We voice the sentiments Of the Mis-
soulian when we find it difficult to be-
lieve that any officer of the American
army, and especially Col. j. J. Nc
Guinness of the Second Montana regi-
ment, could be so utterly lost to a
sense of decency as to insult a quota
of drafted men by refusing to permit
a regimental band to aid in giving
them a fitting farewell. Yet Col.
McGuinness, it is reported in the
Helena papers, did that very thing
on the ground that the drafted men
were "slackers" and should not be
honored, because they had not joined
the army as volunteers.
The young men who have gone
forth to war under the provisions Of
the e~onscription act are entitled to
the fullest honors and the highest
gratitude of their fellow citizens. They
are every bit as worthy as though
they had volunteered. Many of them
did not voluntarily enlist for very
adequate reasons, but none the less
they are entitled to the largest e
.ure of credit for patriotism and cour-
age. They are u soldiers. They go
forth to fight our battles, to preserve
our homes and our rights Of liberty
and democracy. Any a who offers
the slightest reflection on the spirit
or purpose Of these brave fellows
should be ostracized by his fellowmen.
If that man happens to be an officer
and not a gentleman, he should re-
ceive summary punishment at the
hands of the military authorities.

Feed is going to be a big item with
the Valley county farmers and ranch
ers the coming year. Few have
enough to tide them through the win
ter, and as a consequence, many will
be forced to ship their cattle, rather
than have them starve for lack of
feed. The situation is serious, and
action has been started by the Glas-
gov Chamber Of Commerce and ag-
riculture to do something to relieve
the situation.
The situation here is the same as
in many other parts of the state. In
the Lewistown district, definite ar
rangements are being made to help
the drouth sufferers. The Lewistown
Commercial club has inaugurated, and

WILL HIT THE GERMAN LINE
HARD IN 1918

General Pershing's cabled admoni-
ton to the American people. to be
patient and not expect him to rush
the American forces recklessly to the
firing line, will be we'll received by
all thoughtful citizens. 1T Is I'M
possible" he reminds US, ITO create
a vast fighting machine merely by the
wave of a hand" Or, as Clemenceau
forcefully phrased it in a similar mes
sage to the American public, a mod
ern can not be improvised.
History abounds in solemn warn
ings of the folly of untimely attack by
~unprepared or imperfectly prepared
armies. Probably more have
been lost from that error than from
any other blunder, a fact thoroughly
known to the Prussian leaders, and
General Pershings we'll says that to
put an inadequate, insufficiently sup
piled force into actual combat would
merely be making a mistake which
the Germans unq~uestionably have
hoped and expected the United States
would make.
Our work is we'll cut out before US
This year we are to exert all our re-
sources to the task of providing fooe

ing up a great fighting force that will

it hard and decisively.

house in the Belgian capital is 1.-THE

house in the Belgian capital is "the
proper place for the trial and the
sentencing of the person directly re-
sponsible for the costliest and ugli-
est crime in all the history of the
world" Granting that such a SEN
tence would be just in the case of
the kaiser, what about the crown
prince? Was the kaiser wholly re-
sponsible or was his decision to take
the frightful plunge in large part due
to the persuasions Of his son, the
prince, who has obstinately piled the
German dead so high before Verdun?
This question is rendered the more
interesting by ex-Ambassador Ger
ards report Of a conversation be-
tween the crown prince and "a beau
tiful American woman" Early in
1914, before the great struggle be.
gan, the crown prince confided to
this woman his ardent hope for war
during his fathers reign and his de-
termination to have it anyhow as soon
as he assembled the Throne. "He
said, whether war was profitable Or
not, that when he came to the throne
there would be war-just for the
fun Of it. On a previous occasion he
had said that the plan was to attack
and conquer France then England,
and, after that, my country. Russia
was also to be conquered and Ger
many would be master Of the world"
The crown prince admitted an ambi-
ton to rival Napoleon and Frederick
the Great. The latter confessedly
started the Seven Years. war "in
order to be talked about" and the
Crown Prince wanted ! to conquer
France, Russia, England and the
United States "just for the fun of
it," This inevitably suggests the
question, is even the kaiser in this
