They will be at work on theil float early this morning and will have a large representation in the line o. decorated autos.
 Japanese Planning Float From the Japanese, with their rare artistic sense, can be expected a floa of exceptional beauty and significance The committee in charge is from the Japanese association and includes Yin Hayashi and A. Saito. The Chinesi too, have their own ideas and Mayo Dick of Chinatown and J. Y. Hunl are very busy in getting ready fo the parade.
 Many American Entries Coming down to just the regular TUT of American folk, there will be a line of floats of which nowhere near a ful list can be given at this writing. Here are few of them: | Arizona War Savings Society, witt Jim Dobbins at the helm. Red Crown War Savings Society. J l M. Ball.

One bad feature OF this ignorance
OF our language j, shown in the fact
that l.275,00O aliens were registered

though accepted for military service,
many OF them have proved difficult

COMPLETE AMERIANIZA-
TION.

Local school boards and munici-
pal organizations OF various kinds
have worked hard and faithfully
during the recent month, to pro-
mote the Americanization OF aliens
within our borders. But the prob
lem is too big to be left to- scattered
groups. The government, through
the department of the interior and
the United States bureau OF educa-
ton is now working out a national
program of Americanization work.
State governments and industrial
establishments are called upon to act
as the mediums through which this
work can be carried ont on a large
and uniform scale. To reach our
foreign-born population through in
dustrial channels is one OF the most
important steps. The industrial and
commercial activities OF the country
embrace many millions OF foreign
born workers. Enemy propaganda
has been particularly fruitful among
such workers, astonishingly large
numbers Of whom neither speak nor
read English, and some of whom

A BIGGER ARMY.

The clcarest lesson OF the big
German drive to the American peo-
pie is the imperative need OF war
preparations on a vast scale. No
matter whether the drive is stopped
or not, no matter whether or not
the Germans may seem to exhaust
themselves in this supreme effort, ii
is not safe 10 assume that We can
win by standing pat on present
plans.
The narrow escape the allies have
had from a great catastrophe is a
sufficient warning. Huge as Ger
man losses have been, the German
giant still has a marvellous amount
Of strength left in him, and will take
an indefinite amount OF beating.
Major General Wood, in a state
ment to the senate military commit
tee. is said to have recommended an
army Of 100000 to 100000 men.
He believes that we should have
100000 men in France at the earli-
est possible moment-a belief which
the president probably shares with
him.
ANY difference Of policy that may
develop among administration lead
ers or army experts is likely to con-
cern the size OF the forces We should

The active child OF 4 or 5 in
stinctively desires TO measure him
sell against children of his own
age, and if deprived OF the oppor-
tunty to do this, loses much OF
what is necessary for his highest
and best development. Through
contact with each other, children
learn to wait their turn, and to be
considerate in many other ways.
Moreover the child wants TO
make things, and, although the
mother can play little songs and
games with him while carrying on
her household tasks, she cannot al
ways take the time necessary to di-
rect and assist the child in manual
occupations. This is one reason
why the kindergarten fills great
need. Association with playmates,
work with various materials and
tools and songs and games are all
provided in the kindergartens.
1t was because of my study OF
Froebeian methods and their sue
ccsstul application to the child be-

impossible it was for me, a busy
mother to meet the growing needs

MUST SAVE WHEAT
IF WE CARRY ON

Lloyd-George told the British
men that they would have
to go on or go under He meant
that unless the laborers quit quar-
relling and got down to real work
in building ships the war would be
lost.
We might well vary this phrase
OF the British premier and have it
read with equally vital force to us,
1--WE must save wheat or go under.
We cannot carry on; we cannot
defeat the Hun unless the spirit Of
sacrifice in the matter OF food be
accepted by the people OF Oklaho-
ma.
Our allies and our soldiers must
be fed, and wheat is their largest
food. Other foods either spoil or
will not make suitable bread for
soldiers. Our allies, except Italy,
are not accustomed to eating corn
bread and have no mills to grind i.
The Hun will tighten his belt and
fight on. We must do likewise.
But luckily, we have had plenty OF
suitable foods to substitute for
wheat Shall we who stay at home
refuse to give the food that must
be given to our soldiers and our
allies ii we are to win Our fore
fathers often lived on baked pota-
toes. Save wheat. Carry on.

Straw Hats For Electrician.

Popular Science Monthly. A sug-
gestion has recently been made by
a prominent engineer that all per-
sons employed in and around cleo
trical stations should wear straw
hats with stiff brims all the year
round while at work. Stray is a
better insulator than felt and the
stiffness OF the straw gives an addi-
uonal advantage, as it gives more
emphatic warning to the wearer Of
the hat when he comes in contact
with a wire or apparatus carrying
electricity Of high tension. 1t may
seem ridiculous TO wear a straw hat
in zero weather, but--safety first !

Some day will come a query
That will grip the mind ard heart
As the waiting grows so weary
For the boys who do their part.
When suspense your soul is firing
With the burden OF unrest,
And your conscience is inuiring,
Did YOU do your level hest?'
Can YOU say that in full measure
You have answered duty's call,
Sparing neither time nor treasure,
BE your limit great or small?
While our own brave sons and
brothers
For our country meet the test,
Are we worthy of those others?
Have we done our level best?
