Glenn Carr likes to tell of the time
that he and Frank Strayer went out
on a little hunting trip in the wilds Of
the forests somewhere in Wayne
county. Glenn says that they did not
have a great deal of luck but finally
did see squirrel which scampered
madly up a tree. Frank took long
and steady aim and luckily managed
to hit the little animal bringing 1t
tumbling to the ground as dead as a
small town on Sunday. The two
county officials went up to inspect
their prize.
Gee, | wouldn't have had to shot
him at ALL" Frank declared, according
TO Mr.. Cars story. The fall would
have killed him.
Many Richmond people who read the
Palladium are wondering what poor
old Father Jiggs will do now that
Dinty Moore has had to close up.
Lewis Bowman said that he was
driving his big car down town the
other day and stuck out his hand TO
signify that he intended to turn tho
next corner. when along came flivver
and ran right up his sleeve and bit
him.
Ed Weidner says that it is funny
thing about a chicken. We eat the
blame thing before its born and after
II dies.

liens would hit the breakfast food
trail.

Watching Strangers

The destruction by poison of valuable horses
in Kentucky few weeks ago and the mysterious
death of cattle in Wayne county. also attribut-
able to poison, both incidents being traced to
German agents, shows too what length the Ber-
lin government will go to attain it's ends.
The county council of defense has issued a
warning which farmers ought to heed. No
stranger has business on the land of Wayne
county agricuturalist. Report his presence to
the defense council at once, and if necessary
hold him until authorities arrive to investigate
his excuses.
Germany has been guilty of such atrocious
outrages against men and property that the
American farmers need not be surprised if it's
agents try to poison their cattle and interfere
with their work.

Former Senator Lafayette Young of Iowa
told the Alnericanization Conference at Wash
ington of schools, thousands of schools in the
Northwest, where every days session ends with
the singing of Deutschland Ueber Allies, =
where die Wacht am Rhein' IS better known
than 'The Star-Spangled Banner schools where
German textbooks impress lies upon the chill
dren at that uncritical age when the utterance of
the book is gospel truth and the fresh, unincun-
bered memory and mind are likely to retain for
life ideas then thrown into them. The German
Emperor, the staggering, medieval, divine
right figure we know too we'll is set forth In
these corrupting dishonest German school books
as great and noble ruler and man. Germany,
the feudal military state, the oligarchy of the
drill stick, is represented as another America.
Another speaker at the conference Mr.. Rich
ard Lee Metcalfe of Nebraska, sometime civil
governor of the Panama Canal Zone, described
a similar Communication in schools of his state.
Incidentally, as an illustration of Deutschthun
in Nebraska, he said that a Nebraska German
paper commemorated the Fourth of July by en-
riching it's subscribers with souvenir spoons
radiant with the counterfeit presentments of
Wilhelm II, and Hindenburg, that savior of the
empire whom Herr BALM is said blasphemously
to have called 'that Wooden Ass with the nails in
him.
These instances from Iowa and Nebraska
may make more concrete and definite in our
minds thoughts now becoming general, destined
to bring changes indispensable in our system of
education if America is to be nation of Amer
leans. There as several things" said Secretary
Lane at the conference, (which have come
upon recently which seem to those of us who
have not been wise to be discoveries. The first
is that we have great body of our own people,
five and half millions, who cannot read or write
the language of this country That language is
English million and half are native-born."
These native illiterates and the foreign-born ig-
norant of English must be instructed in it. 1t
must be made the language of the country. 1t
is not so at present, with all regard for Mr.. Lane.
The eighteen governors and other delegates at
the conference adopted set of resolutions rec
ommending congress to pass certain legislation
in the interest of Americanization. This is the
vital one:
In all schools where elementary sub
jects are taught they should be taught in
the English language.
Substitute for Should "Must." There is the
beginning of Americanization.

Governor Bamberger's Speech

Governor Bamberger analysed correctly the
Americanization problem. Foreigners who came
to the United States to make it their homes
should have dropped at all allegiance to their
native lands and become full fledged Americans,
and the United States should have insisted from
the very outset that complete surrender OF al
legiance be made to the American flag.
It is preposterous to believe that aliens in this
country should be permitted to perpetuate the
customs and habits of their native lands, keep
alive sentiments that bind them to foreign
shores, encourage love and devotion to a flag
which neither offered them the political nor ma
terial advantages of their adopted country.
Governor Hamburger is right in saying that
foreigners in most cases owe nothing to the
country from which they came. They fled these
countries because America held out hope and re-
lief. They found here conditions so advantage
GUS that few of them ever returned. Most OF
them acquired measure of wealth and comfort
which they never dreamed Of possessing in their
native countries.
And yet, these very men and women, in an
hour of grave national crisis, instead of coming
out Enthusiastically for their adopted country still
secretey wish we'll to an Empire that is bent on
destroying free institutions and making the
whole world bow to its autocracy.
The American people have been far too leni-
ent with these people, too forbearing and gener-
ous They accepted with finality the statements
of these persons that in the hour of national
peril they would be faithful to the flag and the
nation.
Now, the tolerance Of the American people is
changing into a grim and determined decision to
exact absolute proof of loyalty and devotion.
Where this is lacking, the patriots are quickly
taking action and demanding manifestation OF
that loyalty which is commensurate with the
benefits these people are enjoying.
The New York Times believes the hour for
determined action has struck. 1t says:
Dead is the illusion long sincerely held by
many, perhaps by most Americans that some
mysterious allegation or alchemy blended into
unity a heterogeneous population; that Aneri-
canism was miraculously bestowed on those who
lived in America. The war has shown US great
foreign islands in the country, centres and
branches of hates and loves brought across the
water, deliberate, long fomented, and persistent
submission and allegiance to the interests of a
foreign country.
For nearly three years it seemed if the
United States was to many of its citizens pro-
vince of the German Epmire, and small prov
inces, Cities villages of Prussia Germany still
subsist in the United States. We can count too
many of them in the Wisconsin election. In
many states these German dependencies, these
Little Germanies, are found, in language, educa-
ton, thought, utterly German.

HOW TO GET THE EGG

(By A. A. Yoder. e.A., Editor Pou''
try Tribune)
Don't spend your time wondering
why a black hen lays white egg, but
get the egg"
Thus runs the familiar legend, which
Is especially mandatory now since the
government is exerting its best EFFORTS
to get you to raise more poultry. 10
tell how to get the egg and make
the egg.getting game paying one Is
the object of tbs article.
The hen Ia an egg-laying machine,
and II she eats more food than her
eggs are worth, then she doesn't pay,
and there are hundreds of thousands
of such hens on American back lots
and farms today. They are literally
eating their heads off. But there Is
money-good money--in raising the
right kind of hens. The big thing In
egg getting is to get the right start;
that is, to get the right kind OF chick
ems. BY this we do not mean the right
breed. Any breed will do if you get
the right birds. Your birds must be
vigorous and healthy, but that's not
all. Back of the individual bird must
be the right parentage. The bird s
mother must be an egg-laying bird,
and the father must come from egg
laying parentage. Then, and only then,
are YOU reasonably sure OF getting the
eggs.
"But," you say. how am l to know
anything about the parentage OF
chicken" That is just the point. TOO
many beginners don't know how TO
buy birds with the right parentage.
The only way to do is to buy from
some reputable breeder of standard
bred fowls You will pay more Tor
your stock in this way, but IN the long
run it will more than pay for Its ao-
ditional expense.
Buying poultry is like buying pair
of shoes, only more important. You
know it pays to buy u Sood pair or
shoes, but If you buy cheap pair you
can get better pair when they are
gone. In buying poultry, however. you
are not buying simply for the present;
SO II you get poor stock you will have
poor stock next year and the following
years. or else have to sell and buy over
again.
OF course, there are many things OF
Importance in the egg getting game,
but the one thing needful, which can
not be stressed upon too much is start

President Edwards of Earlham col
lege Friday told students if any, of
them lacked the money to attend the
Zimbalist concert the college would
supply the deficit as he regarded such
advantages as legitimate part of
higher education.
Words of commentator for Zim-
balist continue to be received. Mrs.
Ben Bartel, who heard him last sea-
son in Dayton, write the following:
"The rare treat of hearing such a
skilled artist as Efrem Zimbalist is
not often granted the Richmond pub
lie. His concert at Dayton last year
was the best Of the Civic League
Course. His varied program showed
wonderful genius. First a graceful,
delicate number; then one Of warm
color, and again another of vital nerve
force. His staccato and pizzicato num-
bers were the most interesting of all.
He carries an unusually sweet-toned
instrument and fairly makes it talk.
At such a price no lover of good music
should miss him."
