CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada IL also having trouble with
Aade-in- Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation &C.
cording to an oficial statement re-
eeived from the Canadian food con-
troller BY the United States food ad-
ministrati0n.
The stories bothering Canada are
Of the same general character ~ those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced In this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives' stocks Of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti.
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power Of destruction that lies
IN q battalion Of soldiers.
"Stories without even q vestiGe OF
foundation have been scattered broad.
cast" said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously In
different parts Of the country and In
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
"They are insidIous, subtle. persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
, trust, the great essential In the work
Of food control.
ut lies with every individual to Tor
hear from criticism: to refrain from
passing or the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively

Enemy Aliens to be Registered

Washington.-The week Of Feb.
was set aside by the department of
Justice today for registration Of half
q million unnaturalixed Germans In
tho United States by police and post
masters in pursuance Of the presi-
dents alien enemy proclamation d.
recting this action As . means of
minimizing danger from enemies.
Registrations will involve the ga
thering Of detailed information con-
corning the business. relatives and
habits Of every German together with
his place Of residence.
After registering he must carry .
certified card and may not change
his place of residence without ap-
prevail of the police or postmaster.
Violation will be punishment by in
ternment for the period II the war.
The orders do not apply to German
women or to any under II years Of
age because these are not classed ~
alien enemies by law. Austrians
are not required to register.
Beginning Feb. I. Chief Florance
and his assistants are required to
register every male German alien
over II years Of age In the city Of
Greeley. The police must secure
three photographs. finger prints and
detailed description and afndavits
from each alien enemy. The work
must have been completed the week
OF Feb. I.
In towns and rural districts out
side Of Greeley the work Of register
ing is to be done by postmasters.
The federal order states that the
police In all cities over 5000 shall
be the registering officers. and that
the postmasters shall register alien
enemies in all other districts and
communities. It 10 estimated that
there are 100 enemy aliens in Weld
county and that about 20 Of these
reside in Greeley.
Besides acting Is registering ON
GERS the police are to round up slack
ers under the QUESTIONABLE system.
They also perform numerous miss
ions for Uncle Sans department Of
justice details Of which never get in

political pot boiling. Fifty years from
now it will not matter very much who
was chosen to fill this or that office,
but it will matter fifty, OF even a
thousand years, from now whether
the Allies or the Huns win this war
We are pleased that while the
county-to-county campaign will be
conducted throughout the State as
usual, some of the counties are dis
continuing the community-to-commu-
nifty political meetings. This is well,
especially in a crisis like the present.
AS far as possible, politics should be
kept in the background this year. OF
course, as intelligent citizens, inter
ested in good government we must
see that only worthy aspirants are
elected to office. But this can be
done quietly, and certainly without
causing u people to become
wrought up to a white heat.
The supreme moment has arrived
when we as loyal Americans, with
blood of our blood and bone of our
bone being sacrificed upon the battle
field, we should ~rededicate and re-
c~onsecrate ourselves to the cause of
the Allies, which we %reverently be-
lieve is the cause of God.
Again we urge u people to keep
politics in the background, 80

Acting Highway Engineer F. II
Murray Writes a Letter
To S,,oeryisors.
Greenwood Index.)

The Dixie Highway will not go by
Pleasant Lane, it now appears. Act
Eng State Highway. Engineer F. II.
Murray favors the route by Reynolds
bridge and has given his reasons in
a letter addressed to supervisors e.
w. Lipscomb of Greenwood and E. N.
Broadwater of Edgefield.
His letter follows:
Dear Sirs:
AS per your request I met you at
Greenwood on June 7th, and in COM
pany with you went over the two pro-
nosed routes for the Dixie Highway
between Greenwood and Edgefeld
for the purpose of deciding upon the
best route to be constructed.
On this logging trip each mile was
given a rating based upon the loca-
ton, the grades, the quality of the
surfacing material, and the distance
the s~urfacing material would have to
be hauled. The number of bridges to
be constructed on each road was also
taken into consideration.
On the route from Greenwood to
Edgefeld via Reynolds bridge over
Turkey Creek the rating is SO per
cent. The distance from the Cross
Roads about two miles below Kirksey
to the point where the two proposed
routes intersect about ven miles
above Edgefield is at present Ill
miles; however, this distance will be
shortened about one mile by reloca-
ton when the road is constructed.
There are four small bridges on the
route.
On the route from Greenwood to
Edgefeld via Pleasant Lane Bridge
over Turkey Creek the rating IS ~
per cent. The distance from the Cross
Roads about two miles below Klrksey
to the point where the two proposed
routes intersect about seven miles
above Edgefield is at present lo'e
miles, but practically no reduction
can be made in this distance by clio
eating the present road There are
fourteen small bridges on this route
To sum up the result of this lnspec'
ton and logging trip, I find that the
route via Reynolds bridge is the most
practicable route to adopt. On this
route an excellent location can be Sc
cured with easy grades, which it vii
be impossible to get on the route via
Pleasant Lane bridge. Also on the
route via Reynolds bridge an excel
lent quality of tcp-soil is available
for nearly the entire route, while OF
the route via Pleasant Lane bridge
the quality of the material is onl!
flair. On the route via Reynolds
bridge there are only four or five
small bridges, while on the route
via Pleasant Lane bridge there art
fourteen small bridges which vii
have to be constructed.

Music the Fourth War Neces
sity.

Our leaders in thought and the
United States government has placed
music fourth on the list as a war
necessity. First food, second, clothing
third, shelter, fourth, music. Thous-
ands of musical instruments have
been purchased by the United States
government, because they agreed
that music was necessary. The boys
must sing and have an accompanl-
ment in order to keep up the morale.
Mr.. John A. Holland has brought
ever some splendid pianos from his
piano house in Greenwood which are
in the empty store a%djourning L. T.
MAYS store. In each home where
these pianos have been sold, sweet
music will keep up the morale of the
ones who stay at home.
Mr.. Holland has offered n of the
best of these instruments for the use
of the college girls in their concert
or Friday evening, so that when
good musicians and a good piano get
together, something good will be
Forthcoming.
