MAKE LOYAL ALIENS
AMERICAN CITIZENS
Is Gist of Thanksgiving Letter
To Defense Councils.

SV6itOstSs
TO the County Councils of Defense;
In West Virginia there are a sur
prisingly large number of aliens men
and women of foreign birth who have
come to this land of promise striv-
ing for those ideals which they were
denied in the countries of their
birth
During the period of the war
which has been concluded success
fully. these aliens were loyal to
America although they were not ia
wiliar with the free institutions of
which we boast II we expect to
have their continued loyalty we must
make them real Americans, familiar
only with one language and one flag.
The coming Thanksgiving Day Of
fefs II wonderful opportunity to
Americans. Permit me TO give hear
" approval to the suggestions made
IN the following letter from Grosve-
nor b. clarkson, secretary of the
'ouneil of National Defense
"a nation declares Itself by the
manner in which it celebrates it's
holidays. II foreign-born people
hare and help 10 shape celebra-
ions Of American holidays. they will
understand more quickly and more
spontaneously take for their own
using fire, the American spirit. In
he last analysis, all Americanizing
lgeneies are only tending that Are
md trying to bring within it's heat
hose they would make into Ameri-
cans
THANKSGIVING Day is the least
public. tho most personal, the quiet
est of our holidays. As rule, each
Of us invites only his friends to
share in the celebration, which is
part OF his life at home. But 1t il
distinctly and solely American, and
offers, perhaps, better opportun-
ity than our more boisterous festi-
walls for the play Of the comrade-
ship which Is at the very root of
true Amerieanlsm.
"If on Thanksgiving Day each of
us should invite to bis table some
one, not yet familiar with Amer-
can ways, do his part, simply and
unobtrusively without faint or pat
ronage or condeseension. in making
clear the meaning of the day and the
meaning of America, November %
would see US a step farther on the
way to solidly American nation
standing in clear view Of the
abyss, never has America had cause
to give thanks more sincerely. Run
ming back and forth through those
two great civil and military armies
that have held and fought, at home
and overseas, are thousand sturdy
foreign strands that color and
strengthens and shape the warp and
wool of the nation
"Only from Americans can the
newcomers catch the American splr-
it and only from Americans who are
their friends can they catch it at its
best. Let us hand It on to them on
Thanksgiving Day, and at the same
time each Of us do his part in the
vast and infinitely important bust
ness Of friend-making for America. u
Very truly yours,

Pat O'Brien's Escape.

Lt-Pat O'Brien. an American in the British Royal
Flying corps. escaped by leaping from train
running 30 miles an hour. He had been brought
down wounded inside the German lines. and after
a short time in a hospital transferred to a
prison camp.
There he began TO lay plans TO escape, and
succeeded in stealing German road maps from an
interpreter.
His opportunity came when he and a number
of other wounded prisoners were put into a train
to be transported from one camp TO another.

H. B.. FisheI Counts Traffic Over
Three Main Crossings Leading z
Into Denison During Day

Few people appreciate the extent to
which the automobile traffic has grown
within the past few years. H. b.
Fishel, the county surveyor. went to
the trouble to count the number Of
machines going and coming on three
important reads leading into Denison
on Thursday evening of last week.
Men were stationed at the |. C. de-
pot, the brick yard east of Denison
and at the Chicago & Northwestern
tracks west of town and from until
lib p. m. an accurate count OF all
vehicles was made. -
Twelve hundred and twenty-seven
automobiles passed by the counters
during this time, 90 buggies, 3 wagons
and trucks. Fifty per cent Of the
cars were Fords.
Mr. F'ishel estimates that the auto
mobiles in the state OF Iowa travel a
billion miles in the course of year.
He estimates this taking for granted

TWO LEGENDS ABOUT RIVER
Both Concern Arizona Stream, but
Only One is Really Popular
In the State.

The Hassayampa Is an Arizona
river which stands for the spirit of his
native desert to the son Of western
Arizona. There are two legends con-
nected with the waters of Hassay-
ampa, one subscribed to by natives and
the other by irreverent aliens. Both
parties agree that the waters of this
desert stream have powers surprising
the normal. @
According to the native Of Arizona,
whatsoever shall taste the waters of
Hassayampa is thenceforward bound
to the Arizona desert by ties stronger
than bonds Of steel. Drink once of the
magic current, and you must inevitably
return to drink again. Wherever you
may wander, in some quiet hour you
will hear the Hassayampa calling, and
whether you are in Cape Town or
Hongkong or Port Said, you will forth
with take ship on the trail of another
drink. That is why the Arizonians in
foreign states and lands frequently
band themselves into clubs called Has
StiS F.
! A look atthe Hassayampa itself will
convince the unprecedented stranger
that some magic power must reside
in the waters. otherwise nobody would
want a second drink. s
The other legend Of the Hassayampa
is more often retailed by aliens, though
occasionally n native will admit it's
prevalence aud the existence of GER
tain amount OF cerroborative evidence.
This, legend affirms that whosoever
takes drink of Hassayampa water is
thenceforward utterly and constitu-
tionally incapable Of telling the truth
on any important matter. SO firmly
established did this belief become that
at one period of Arizona history, in
stead of applying the short and ugly
term to man, they called him Has
sayampa," which is a term certainly
long and in the opinion of some per.
sons beautiful Chicago News.
