ANNUAL DINNER
OFEASI SIDE
FIREMEN

The East Side Firemen held their an
nual rabbit dinner, Monday evening
which, as usual was very much enjoy
ed by those privileged to be present.
The guests, this year was confined to
the two East Side Police About fif-
teen were present, and the commit
tee on the dinner certainly did them
selves proud.
The iremen have in other years held
several Of these social evenings, but,
this year being a closed season for
prairie chickens, and venison having
been scarce, the dinners, so far have
been confined to this one. The citizens
of Grand Rapids are very much in
debted to the volunteer fire depart
ment and are always glad when the
fremen can enjoy a social evening,
such as the one last Monday.

KNITTED ROBE
FORUSE IN
GONZALES
Cent WARD

The pupils of SIS. Peter & Paul
Parochial school, have been very busy
for some time collecting yarn. Bits
of bright colored yarn, white yarn,
black yarn, in fact any color or a
mount was gladly received by the chill
dren and the yarn was then taken to
Grandma Goggins," mother of Mr..
B. r. Goggins, who has been very busy
knitting the yarn into a robe for use
in the convalescent ward of a Red
Cross Hospital somewhere. The robe
is now finished and for a few days has
been hung in the window of the Abel
Mullen Co. store, and the children as
we'll as Mrs. Goggins may feel Justly
proud, as it is one of the prettiest
things of this kind yet produced and
presented to the Red Cross of this city
The center is made up of large red
cross filled in with white and the rest
of the robe is made up of every color
that could be imagined
Mrs. Goggins has been one of the
most persistent knitters of Grand Ra-
pids ever since the first call for knit
ting came, and many soldier would
bless her, if he knew to whom he is
indebted for the many warm socks,
sweaters, and scarfs that have been
turned out by her busy fingers. Grand
ma Goggins is past eighty years old
but is very much alive to the topics
of the day and vitally interested in
the great World War.

GERMAN ALIENS
ATTENTION!
Western District of Wisconsin.

Madison, Wis, Jan. q, 1918.
Dear Mr. Editor:
AS you doubtless know from the
press dispatches, the Attorney-Gen-
eraI has ordered the registration Of
all natives, citizens, denizens, or sub
jocts Of the German Empire Or of the
German Imperial Government, being
males of fourteen years of age or O.
yer who are within the United States
a7d are not naturalized as American
citizens. This registration will be
made by the Chief of Police in all
cities of five thousand population or
over and in all other areas by the
Postmasters. The registration will
begin at six a. m. on February 4th, and
continue each day between the hours
of a. m. and p. m. until the close
Of the day on February 9th. All per-
sons affected by the order are requlr-
ed to report to their respective regis
tration officer during the time speci-
fed and fill out QUESTIONABLE, blanks
being furnished by the registration Of
icer. The penalty for failure to reg
ister is severe Any person subject
to registration who fails to do so will
be subject to arrest and confinement
during the remainder Of the War, and
I presume in severe cases, deportation
back to Germany after the War is
over. A searching inquiry will be
made for all those who avoid or try
to evade the regulations.
My experience in registering aliens
in the prohibited areas leads me to
know that the number Of such per-
sons in the Western District Of Wis
consin is very largely under-estimated.
A large number Of people of German
birth who have been voting on their
so-caIIed first papers, for many years
and many of them who have consider
ed themselves citizens of the Unird
States. are in fact not citizens. Some
for fear of prosecution because they
have voted, have failed to reveal that
they are not citizens and for that rea-

son have claimed citizenship while
they in fact were alien enemies. There
is no intention on the part of the Gov
eminent to disturb any person who
meets these requirements if he full
fills the obligation of the registry in
good faith Any German Of foreign
birth is not a citizen unless he has re
ceived his full second papers. For
their own protection they should be
urged to meet all of the requirements
promptly, faithfully and fully.
AS this work is important in the
extreme, it is the duty of every A
merican citizen to assist the registrar
and make known to the Chief of Police
and Postmaster the name of any per
son who he has reason to believe is 4
German alien enemy, and it should be
the duty Of every good citizen to as
sist during the time of the registration
in making the work complete in every
respect even though he does it at a
considerable sacrifice to himself.
The registration does not apply to
Austrians but only to German aliens.
There is but one way in which we
can get this work thoroughly done and
that is by giving the entire matter
publicity In getting this publicity
we must draw upon your patriotism
and upon your desire to keep the neigh
borhood in which you have influence
quiet and peaceful. There is no fund
available for advertising this regis
tration Every. person subject to re
'g;stration is bound to observe it, and
the law pre-supposes that he has no
tice Of the registration. I know you
have been called upon to give great
7mount Of space for advertising in
various matters which the Government
has desired to bring before the public,
and I expect you will be called on a
gain and again to do likewise. I ap-
peal to you as a good citizen to give
this matter wide publicity in every is
sue of your paper between now and the
9th Of February, and assure you that
whatever you may do for your country
in. this regard will be appreciated.
Full instructions will be mailed to
your Chief Of Police or to your Post
master within a few days and he will
be glad to give you detailed informa-
ton regarding the registration.
Yours very truly,
FRANK O'CONNOR,
United States Marshal

To Own Ice and Fuel Plants.

The city of Oshkosh will be one of
the first in the state to engage in the
fuel and ice business for the benefit OF
the consuming public. At a special
election held recently the proposition
Of whether the city should establish a
fuel plant carried by 4 majority of
1924 votes, and that for an ice plant
by margin of S51.
1t is proposed by the commission
council to carry out the wishes Of the
people without delay, and the first
step will be to obtain estimates of the
cost of ice and fuel plants to Re owned
by the taxpayers, and then issue bonds
for establishing them. The election
provides for appropriations of S25.O0
for each proposition.
Under municipal ownership the city
has made large annual profits from its
waterworks, and it is starting opera
tion of 4 new alteration plant, costing
more than S1S5, 900, most of which will
be paid from profits of the water de
partment.

Will Teach Bows How to Farm.

Wisconsin high schools are to be
turned into schools of agriculture in
which the boys will be taught the rudi-
ments of farming, so that, with the
cooperation of the county councils
Of defense and the county agricultural
agents, they can be placed on Wiscon-
sin farms early next spring.
The idea originated in a meeting of
the agricultural committee of the Wis
conSin state council of defense. This
committee was faced with the problem
of securing farm labor to offset not
only the normal shortage but the in
creased shortage due to the war.
There are $4,000 high school boys in
the state. About 5000 of this number
live on farms, and 5000 are employed
during the summer in the cities. The
remaining 10000 are an available re-
serve for service on Wisconsin farms.

Normal School Courses Limited.

That the normal schools of the Sfzlte
are not authorized to conduct courses
beyond the two years of university
course is the effect of legal opinion
rendered by Attorney General Haven

sci. Mr.. HudnalI submitted two reso-
lutions passed by the normal regents.
One in 1914 authorized the extension
of q high school training course for
