However. the real truth is knowit

Some Verrnin
BY Robert w. Chambers
of The Vigilantes.

In the various internment camps in
the United States are many Germans,
nominaliy prisoners. actually PEN
sioners OF the Republic. well fed. well
lodged. well treated.
These Germans owed everything to
the kindly welcome extended to them
by the Republic when they first set
foot here. Our laws had protected
them. our Government had asked
nothing OF them except that they be
have decentiy; all opportunities for
their betterment and prosperity were
open to them.
These are the people who in her
hour Of need turned xsAinst the land
that welcomed them. These are the
people who proved disloysi. treach'
erous. murderous-4hese sleek. idle
well-housed. weii-fed rata known com
monty as alien enemies.
What is to be done with them at
the end Of the war? Are they to be
liberated and permitted once more to
resume residence and occupation
among us here in the land which they
betrayed and which they would gladly
have done to. death?
Remember what the word German
stands for today in the civilized world
Remember that these creatures
termed enemy Aliens" and now fat
tening in idleness in our detention
camps, are exactly that same breed
Of ver1nin that trampled Belgium into
bloody wailow. that spared neither
age nor sex. that outraged little girls
that disemboweled children. that
bombed hospitals. torpedoed hospital
shipe. murdered Red Cross nurses.
Don't forget what this ioathsome
word German" now means. 1t means
Government.--appi BY Its
swinish peopie.-that hand million
Armenians over to the Turk to be
butchered, all ages. both sexes. II
means the people who struck medals
to celebrate the death OF women and
children on the Lusitania. II meanS
a people who began this war with q
lie and who have lied ever since-a
people now SO degenerate. so brutaiized
that only the vile blasphemy of ths
BLACK Mass can compare to the liv
ing blasphemy Of which their Wal
Lord and the hordes he leads are the
never-to-be-forgotten symbols.
Are the interned Germans OF this
Identical breed TO be permitted to re
main in this country after the war?

DON'T BITE OFF MORE
THAN you CAN CHEW.

Here Ia word OF advice for the
bond purchaser. Don't bite OF more
than you can chew. Your govern
ment doesn't want you to strap
yourself or run into financial difficult
ties trying to pay for bond. Buy
one small enough 80 you will be able
to pay for 1t in the allotted time with
out having to borrow money to meet
the obligation. Its value will repre-
sent your savings for that period Of
time. II your circumstances won't
permit Of you purchasing a $1,000
bond. buy $500 one. or 500 bond
or one for only $50. Don't complicate
our already complicated financial
problem by sssuming debt you can't
pay.

Farm Labor Outlook
for Fremont County

With prospects good for all farm
crops there cannot help but be little
concern about help for the harvest.
That labor will be scare is a foregone
conclusion. Out of 100000 men
engaged in farm industries 205 900
have been drafted, in addition to these
there have been volunteers and the
farmers have lost men because the
wages paid in industrial pursuits have
drew them away.
Mr.. d. ". Thomas who has charge
of the farm labor problem in the
State, says, do not get the notion
into your head that the vast amount
of talk to which we are subjected now
adays in regard TO farm labor short
age is dream talk: not bit Of it. On
the other hand. do not get scared and
believe every i'll rumor that smites
your ear"
Mr.. Thomas urges community or
ganization to look after labor needs.
Fremont county is well prepared TO
meet labor shortage. The Chamber
of Commerce. the County Farm Bur.
cru and the local farmers clubs all
have labor committees that are aid
ing to supply all help needed to har-
vest and take care OF the crops.
When the Liberty Loan solicitors
in the rural communities go about
their BUSINESS they Will be supplied
with farm labor cards to ascertain the
needs Of the different communities.
Their reports win be given to the

~ Cunncii Of Defense and steps TAX
