imize the Importance Of the action
Of the government in ordering the
registration Of all alien enemies.
This should have been done at
the time we entered the war. But
we greatly fear that even this
move will not put >stop to the
Vaccinations of the enemy in this
country, from the fact that his
readiest tools are not aliens, but
citizens Of this country. The
alien is an easy person to watch,
but the traitorous citizen some
times battles the best efforts Of
the police. And, humiliating as
it is to admit it, we have number
Of these. Some Of them would
doubtless balk at actual sedition,
yet every day Of their lives they
are aiding the cause of the Hun.
They kick and knock and find
fault Of every act Of our govern
ment, and if they were men Of
weight their pessimistic influence
would be disastrous. Happily for
the country, however, the great
majority of our people are loyal,
and thew soon Mace these gentry
where they rightfully belong
outside the pale.

hidden underneath smiling faces and
cordial good cheer and humor prevailed
all through the evening.
Mrs. j. w. Sifton was the chairman
of the evening and introduced each
I participant on the program with gra-
cious compliment.
Mrs. Arthur Lewis, president of the

original poem on the EMISSION of the
Club" This was received with great
applause, to which Mrs. Lewis gra-
ciously bowed her acknowledgement.
Prof. Gibson spoke on married life,
which he compared with drama of
four acts, the first act being courtship.
He told how a young man yesterday
went forth with box of creamy,
chocolate-coated bon bons to WOO his
beloved; but tomorrow, according to
the dictates of Mr.. Hoover, he will
take small jar of honey and a spoon
on his wooing journeys. He pointed

this subject with safety. In most
happy vein she described the happiness
in the possession of sweetheart COM
pared to the bondage of her sisters.
Truman Butler gave Symposium on
the perfection of womanhood. So
warm and glowing was his tribute that
the fire alarm sounded and interrupted
him. After quiet was restored he fin
ished his splendid address on the worth
of good women.

our critics should accuse US of not
practicing food conservation, herel is
the menu: Delicious coffee, with
cream, one lump of sugar, cheese, ham
and potato sandwiches three inches
long and one-sixteenth of an inch
thick; dill pickles one-fourth of an
