Good Type Of Citizen.

A. B. Clarefeld of New York wss
in town this week in the interests of
the clothing firm which he repre-
sents. He proved an interesting man
to meet and talk with, by reason OF
having passed through some expert
ences, and fought against handicaps
such as no American of thirty years
of age has any conception of, and fur
nIshes about the best illustration OF
what the United States offers to it's
sons native, or foreign born, provided
they possess the necessary require
ment of wanting to better their con-
dition, that has come to our notice
in some time, and is we'll worth pub
licity at present.
Mr.. Cranefeld is Jew, born liz
Russia, where neither race nor creed
has ever possessed many advantages
for those not Of royal blood Intend
ed by his family for the coveted cal
ling among Jews, that of a Rabbi,
he was favored with school advantas~
.ges beyond most Of his neighbors anet
later sent to Moscow for University
training While there, like many a.
Russian, he became a member of one
the student body polite al organiza-
tions always in fourishing state in
the land of Cars. The usual thing
happened, being caught with the
goods, in other words, circulating lit
erature teaching the dangerous doc
trine OF freedom among men. For
this he was tried and sentenced to
Siberia for twenty years. After serv-
ing three years at hard labor he
made his escape eventually landing
in New York, without money and
without knowledge of word of Eng
glish with which to ask for a job
Thousands of foreigners have done
likewise before and as far as fnan-
cial results 60 done equally as well.
Very few of them however, within
five years acquire as complete a mas
terry of our language, combined with
such a complete knowledge of the
political economy system not only of
their adopted country, but of the en-
tire world. If more of them took
the pains to accomplish even part Of
what Mr.. Clarefield has done, our
federal officers would not now be SO
busy in running down slackers, pro-
Germans and all other enemies Of
the government under which they
enjoy privileges and prosperity posi-

The Test of Patriotism.

We are in the war and we can come out of it
only as conquerors or conquered, victorious or dis
honored; as an independent subject nation.
Our lives, our homes our institutions, all that
Washington fought for and Lincoln died for, are
at stake. Our only way out is to FIGHT IT
OUT for the simple cause Of AMERICA AND
AMERICANS. We must, as John Hancock said,
hang together, or hang separately" The man
who in public or private life subordinates this
cause to any other consideration matter what,
or who FAILS IN THE FULL, DEVOTED AND
EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE OF HIS DUTY to
the nation is a traitor to himself, his family, the
republic and the right.

To the Merchants and Manufacturers
of Wisconsin: Christmas Buying.
The Council of National Defense
and the advisory Commission an
nounce "that Christmas giving which
involves the purchase of gifts should
be discouraged, as relieving to that
extent the present heavy burden
placed upon labor, transportation,
and other resources of the nation,
and also as being in harmony with
the previous announcement of the
Council and Advisory Commission,
urging thrift and economy upon the
country"
Beginning in Septembe Der there will
be put on nationwide campaign. Of
publicity with the object OF discoura-
ging Christmas giving, especially THE
GIVING OF THINGS THAT ARE
UNNECESSARY.
This campaign will be directed large
ly through the women, who form a
M ajority of the Christmas buyers.
This information is sent at this
time in order that you may be advised
of the purpose of the federal authori-
ties to start such a, campaign in the
fall and may adyisedly make your
plans for Christmas trade.

Here the Office angel rises up to
remark that she hopes this order will
not be misinterpreted with the effect
that any will waste time, thread and
material making ''little remembran-
ces'' that are of no earthly use except
to pass on the next year to another
luckless recipient. One of the most
,udicrously pathetic instances OF self
ish love of display generosity was OBJ
served one Christmas few years ago
in the case of young girl friend who
had been out of work for months dur
ing long, dangerous, and expensive
illness. Her working-girl friends had
done their best from their own scanty
stipends to replenish her depleted
wardrobe in the minor details they
could buy. They conjectured a good
deal about whether her friend Mrs.
A, miIlionaire's wife, would get
her shoes, woolens, or, as her chum
said-''even one of her old cloaks".
Imagine their wrath when the covet-
ed parcel from Mrs. A arrived, con-
tanning that lady's compliments on a
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT card, accompa-
nying mysterious conglomeration of
tinted chiffon, silk, tassels, and gold
cord, with an Observation-Disclosures
rhyme stating that in every stitch
was conveyed tender thought from
Mrs. A, and the needed information
that the gift was a glove-case. 'And
