His Adopted Country.
(By J. Frank pavIs Of The
visilantes.)
This ISL story about an American
OF German descent and some Ger
man-Americans. II is a true story,
more's the pity!
In the state Of Texas there are a
number OF little cities in which the
Inhabitants are almost entirely Of
German blood Of the first, second and
third generations. Their newspapers
are printed in German; German is
the language most frequently heard
on their streets and in their stores.
Towns like this are not peculiar to
Texas; there are similar communities
in many other states. Nobody, prior
to the past three years, thought much
about them-and what thoughts we
had were kind and friendly. We re-
spected the people who lived in them.
We admired many things about them.
We wished them well. We thought
we understood them. We thought
the Melting Pot had made them Am
ericans-that their minds worked like
the minds OF the rest Of us. But
now
They Think German.
Now we are shocked to find that
the Americans in these towns-some
Of them, at Ieast-not only, speak
German, read German and retain
German customs, but they think Ger
man.
Listen to this brief but significant
recital Of fact:
A good American, born in Texas OF
German descent, wished to do his
share for the only country to which
he owes allegiance. He is a profess
sional man of high standing. Speak
ing German fluently, his practice was
quite largely with people also OF Ger
man blood.
He felt deeply hurt at the evidence
about him that good Americans were
suspicious Of American
loyalty. He offered to go to one Of
the German communities referred to
and raise a company of volunteers
for the national guard. He would
demonstrate, he told the authorities,
that a great majority Of Americans
Of German descent were true Am
ericans Notwithstanding. The authori-
ties gladly accepted his offer.
He set out in great spirits for the
little city he had selected. Seeing
that he had many friends there, thar
he had access to their homes as a
the language which they habitually
spoke, he anticipated no difficulties
He rather thought he could raise a
full company in p fortnight.
Something happened Ito send him
back disillusioned and heartsick.
"EnsIand's War"
The people native born and
naturalized alike-said fatty that
they would not help America fight
"England's war"
Had they not read the evidence?
he asked them, astonished. Did they
not vet understand that 1t was the
military caste Of Germany which had
ernbroiied the world in war, while
EneIand did everything that was
humanlx possible to prevent it? They
said this was not true. They re-
minded him that the Kaiser himself
and the German government had de-
clared this to be defensive war.
He talked Of ''frightfulness"-of
the Belgian atrocities. All that, they,
calmly told him, was English lies.
He spoke of Belgtans deported by

POTATO PRICES.

From three such widely separated
sources as Herbert Hoover, the head
of a great Chicago packing house.
and the corner grocer, comes the
information that the man who boards
potatoes is riding for a faIT'.
That the potato supply is more
than adequate, and that a tremend-
Gus slump in prices is due before
spring, is the verdict Of all three of
these sources of information. Pota-
toes are selling at as high as 50 a
bushel in New York. There are sew
eral reasons, such as shortage of
cars and boarding by producers and
dealers. The man who boards pota-
toes now is more likely to get half
the present price for them than he is
to get double the price.
The potato crop is the one crop in
which there is no shortage. It is the
one staple food supply which is
ample. It is the one hope Of the
consumer. Cheap potatoes would
offset exorbitant prices In many 9th
er commodities, and the food
administration would render a valu-
able service If it could get the sup
plies to the consumer.

Washington, oct, 25.-No immedi-

many's gradual weakening OF morale
In the civilian population. and the

on President Wilson today on his

The German people" said Mr..
Stovall, "are slowly realizing that
the war is a total failure. AS this

Of a revolution, but do not think

by acknowledging it.

The Eddy County Provost has tn
following timely editorial on tn
need Of settling labor troubles with
out strikes:
1t is a matter Of keen reproach
to the ranks OF organized labor
that strikes and disturbances OF
all kinds should be rife just at
this time when the nation needs
that we should be one as we
never before have been. Doubt
less there are causes a-plenty
for strife-in ordinary times and
under ordinary conditions. At
present, and under the conditions
that face this country, 1t would
seem that. while the world is
called upon for sacrifices in all
the relations Of life, labor might
consent to bear patiently q few
injustices, especially II TO remedy
those injustices the safety Of the
country Is to be 3eopardixed.
Everything that takes from the
perfect unity Of this country,
initiates aginst the great under
taking that we have entered up
on. Now, when the country needs
every ounce Of its strength, is a
poor time TO settle labor disputes,
especially IL the settlement In

FOOD ECONOMY

There is more or less humbug in
the schemes for meatless days,
sugarless days, etc. II takes a GER
tain quantity and variety OF food to
keep human beings in normal health.
The man who goes without lunch
eats enough breakfast and dinner to
make up. Going without meat
means an increased consumption
of other commodities. The chief OPP
pOrtunity for economy is in avoid
ing waste Of food, and, within rea-
sonable limits, the consumption Of
the cheaper forms Of food. IL vari-
ETY. be sacrificed for cheapness. ill
health is likely TO result. Govern
ment bureaus can render good SER
vice by informing the people from
time 10 time what foods contain the
largest food value in proportion TO
ccst but this should not be done
with the inference that only the
relatively cheapest should be con-
sumed. Going without needed food
Is not economy - il is waste Of
human energy.
