next Sunday night. A most remark
able demonstration of power was
witnessed last Sunday night when

ing the U. S. dry. The program on
Saturday night will consist of songs,

ed by a special agent of the United

The cooperation of manufacturers
has been asked for, and by this
means it is expected that many Of the
applications can be made out in fac
tories, and the cooperation of
school teachers and others is asked
to assist aliens in making out appEca-
tons for permits.
The mayors, of all cities have been
asked to provide maps to the gov

already responded. The state war

Each alien who is required to have
a permit must provide three photo

made out in duplicate. One of the
pictures goes on each application and
the other on the permit, and the work
will expedited If the aliens who come
within the terms of the proclama-

An Anti Billboard Crusade.

There is movement just now in
the State of Rhode Island against
roadside billboards. and the subject is
getting a good deal of attention al!
over the country. Quite a number Of
States now have protection against
billboards within the highway limits
but it has proved next to impossible
To stop the erection of defacing signs
on private property.
The practice among retail merchants
of using these signs along highways
seems to be decreasing. They appea,
to realize that there is lot of feeling
against this sort of advertising, and
that merchant makes himself unpop
ular in this way.
The worst offenders are national ad
veTtiserS who string along prominent
motor roads and railroad lines a row o.
these ugly signs which transform,
pretty country scenery into a sordid
suggestion of commercialism.
In former days you could plant cir
Gus posters all over farmers barn
by giving him tickets to the perform
ance for his family. But to-day the
enterprising farmer realizes that the
appearance which his property gives
TO the passer-by if covered with paint
medicine. circus, or other advertising.
it looks as if the owner had no public
spirit, as if he was pressed FOR money
The place is made unattractive to all
who may visit ii in search OF farm pro-
ducts.
The same is doubly true of residence
districts. You would lower real estate
values 25 per cent. in any locality
merely by erecting few ugly bill
boards. Similarly the removal of bill
boards will turn an unpleasant neigh
borhood into a homelike residence
section.
The countryside along a railway line
is defaced by these signs. The trav-
eler looks at 1T as an uninteresting re-
giOn, without local pride or apprecla
ton of its own advantages. 1t would
seem as if oranges, boards of trade
business mems associations, and the
like, should try TO start national
movement 10 get rid of defacing bill
boards.
