GOOD SHIP ARIZONA
 LEADS VICT0RS HOME

Arizona's famous band led the big parade in Paris and the good ship Arizona" was in the lead in welcom- ing our overseas war fleet home. A New York paper says:
 The dreadnoughts, battle cruisers and destroyers that have been in the harbor for several days waiting to welcome the homecoming fleet, steam ed down the harbor early to act as escort squadron to the North river anchorage of the fleet.
 These welcoming vessels were led by the new 31,400-ton dreadnought Arizona under command of Captain John H. Dayton, with Vice Admiral Grant aboard, the Arizona being the flagship.
 When the fleet started from its anchorage off the Ambrose Channel Light for the grand review the Ari- zona again led the way followed by the Oklahoma and Nevada There followed abreast the three flagships of the returning fleet. These in turn were followed in the order named by the Texas, Arkansas, Wyoming and Florida.

WORK OF FAIR PRICE
 BOARD FINISHED

MT. T. A. Riordan, federal food ad- ministrator for Arizona, advises under date of December 31st, that publica- ton of retail prices on food commodi- ties may be discontinued on and after date of his letter.
 He asks that the appreciation of the Food administration be extended to the members of the Fair Price Board for their unselfish efforts in behalf of this work. I also wish to thank the members of the Board for the hearty cooperation extended by them.
 Should any case of gross profiteer- ing be reported, it is quite possible that the Fair Price Board may be as- sembled to investigate; aside from this possibility, however, the Board is released from further service.
 Again thanking you for your ef- forts, I am, Very cordially yours,
 ALEX. A. JOHNSTON,
 County Food Administrator.

styled "intellectuals," who have inher-
 tied money or have made it in any
 way except the one way they urge
 on the rest of us for the good of our q souls-little tin-horn Bernard Shaws
 without the great mans brain or
 heart. They are, of course, joke
 and could be laughed aside, were it
 not for the American habit of &C.,
 cepting mans appraisal of himself.
 A faker has only to play the banjo on
 a soap box, or in solemn periodical,
 ballyhoo his panacea for world ills,
 and the crowd will gape and pay to
 dose itself with his nostrum.
 For century America was the
 sanctuary of the oppressed; latterly
 it has been the sanctuary of too many
 would-be oppressors. But now the | people of Eastern and Central Europe are rid of their old autocrats. They are free to make an American home. If they choose to set up new autocrats, to make mess of their own affairs, must we submit to their imposing their autocrats on us, to their making mess of our affairs, too? Must we stand idly by and let them put the Ioitl bo d "OIlu liidb 10 liO" dS tlOSt~ ly built together as city block? Bolshevism is as much the business of democracies as kaiserism. 1t, too, must be decisively settled.
 Two-thirds of our troubles in Amer ica are imported. Shall we keep on importing them? From our silly sys- tenn of smart society, taken from the European capitals with their class dis functions and monarchial traditions, down to our bogus socialism, made in Germany and Russia as a panacea for conditions that were utterly foreign to America until undiscriminate im- migration planted them in a few plague spots in our great cities, our worries are due to our carelessness as to who and what comes to America.
 This whole business of immigration, both of ideas and men, needs revision. Why keep out anthrax and smallpox and admit rabies freely? We need an influx of labor to keep our facto- ries going and to expand our com- merce, is the usual answer. Not that kind of labor-nor any kind of labor that we cannot pay we'll and that is not good material for citizenship. For what shall it profit us to have all the commerce of the world if in the end we blow up in one grand Bolshevik bust? It might be better business to go just little slower, to educate what unassimilated labor we have into American citizenship.
 So in planning our new list of im- ports let us include only desirables. In planning our new list of exports et us head it with undesirables. Un- fer our laws we send rotten food to he dump because it is menace to health. Rotten men, who are poison ng America with rotten propaganda, belong there too. Why do they finger ,ere when in Russia they can live he ideal that they preach? Utopia yawns for them. Make them go to it. We do not want them.

America for Americans and Those
 Who Want to Be Americans

Russia, Germany and Austria art rid of their old autocrats. The way has been cleared for them to choose a democratic form of government Germany and Austria have swayed toward the abyss.
 Autocracy is government by the
 worst elements at the top; Bolshevism
 is government by the worst elements
 at the bottom. They differ in that
 autocracy is organized hell and Bol-
 shevism hell let loose. Neither can
 stand up long before democracy. When
 the ark of God was brought by the
 Philistines into the temple of the
 false god, "Only the stump of Dagon
 was left to him."
 1 If this war has been fought to the
 end of delivering Europe over to the
 Bolsheviki, it has been fought in vain.
 Instead of freeing the souls of men
 we shall have loosed the beast in
 them. The Allies have won the first
 world war and they will win this
 second one. Until they do the fight
 to make the world safe for democracy
 is only half finished.
 Our relation to this second struggle
 is exactly what our relation to the first was. Though not primarily in- volved, we cannot remain an innocent bystander. One hundred million Americans were loyal and sound to the heart all through the great war, but among them was a small body of traitors, potential of deviltry out of all proportion to their number. The same condition confronts us in this new fight. The mushy-minded and the good-natured sentimentalists inclined to pooh-pooh the idea of, German agents and German-American traitors during the early days of the war. They are disposed to be genially toler- ant of the Bolsheviki now. They will have to wake up again. Autocracy and Bolshevism are both bitter ene- mics of democracy. One would stand it up before a firing squad; the other would bend it's neck to the guillotine.
 The foul crew that has been in con- trol of Russia-one cannot say of the Russian government, because there is none-are not content with anarchy | at home; they would put the torch to the world. Their agents are every where among the ignorant, the sap headed and the vicious, working for world anarchy.
 What are we going to do about it here in America? Are we going to permit a few hundred thousand, largely foreign born, the rest almost wholly selfish, insincere or self-de- ceived to mislead the simple-minded and the ignorant? Are we going to welcome every Russian, German and Austrian Red who wants to come over here to SOW discord and reap dollars? And how long shall we tolerate those who have sought sanctuary here, only to villify the host under whose roof they have found safety and at whose table they have grown sleek and fat? Along with these there is silly lot { of Americans-some of peculiar and not uncommon professor-type of mind hat takes home any theory it can play on the pianola; others are self !

POTATO PLANTING
 FOR NEXT SPRING

The Sun and the farmers of the county are indebted to De Lore Mich ols for the following ...
 How many potatoes do you intend planting in the spring? Do you know there will never be better time dur ing the winter months to select your seed than right now? The counts are all in favor of selecting now for your general crop. If the seed plot plan had been followed this suggestion would be useless for the grower would have already stored away that seed from the seed plot until spring. But you know and l know that there were no seed plots from which to get the seed for the spring planting. A num- Der of farmers hill separate sections which is mighty fine, but this year we must do the next best.
 The reasons for selecting now are these:
 1. You can select good color while later the color fades and turns rather green as the light strikes the tubers.
 2. You can better tell varieties when the color is true to type.
 3. You have a greater number to select from and so get better seed.
 4. They will keep better if sorted, the diseased and bad ones removed from the cellar.
 5. You will place your seed where you will take better care of it.
 6. You will have your culls sorted out to feed during the winter months. '. You now have the time and can work a few hours a day in the cellar.
 8. They will be ready for treat ment at the proper time.
 9. When spring comes, with but very little sorting they will be ready for planting. 10. It might be time saved so that one more acre might be plowed or perhaps another narrowing can be done to put the land in better condi- ton for planting.
 Think it over and then go to it.

 County Agent.
