We Must Fight For True Americanism
 J. BURKE C.

ton has seen and is still seeing service at home and abroad.
 Every intelligent and patriotic Amer ican sees today that these services, harnessed for work in the war, ought not to be serapped, but should serve in the fut'tro just as capably as in the past. We all know our strength the better, and we all feel under the urge of the new Americanism that we ought 10 use it to the full. If victory is not to be lost we must keep up the fight for true American principles; we must wipe out the poisonous imported prin- ciples. We must make of our new corners intelligent, capable citizens.
 The Catholic body is close to these questions. No church has weathered so many storss; no church has so of ten spoken on world problems. The program of Social Reconstruction, is- sued by the National Catholic War Council, is an index of what the ae- ton and leadership of the Catholic to- day will be. Problems of labor and capital, Americanizatien, social better ment, child labor, community welfare, the increased importance of the posi- ton of women, the necessity of clas- sical and technical education, housing conditions, the welI-being of boys and girls-all these should receive careful attention and warrant the continuation of the National Catholic Welfare Coun- cil.
 In the meeting of the bishops of the entire country at Washington Ameri- cans will witness the greatest Catholic gathering since the Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1884. In 1t experienced, patriotic men will give heart and soul to American problems. They will try to plan so that by solving these prob lems the United States may be made stronger, better and more prosper ous nation than ever before.

PATRIOT PRIMER
 FOR FOREIGNERS
Simple Story of Our Nation Told by Catholic Council to
 New Citizens.

Washington.-As ammunition in it's nationwide fight for civic education of the nine million foreign-born and illit- crate people in the United States, the National Catholic War Council has is sued a patriotic primer, entitled "The Fundamentals of Citizenship" from its headquarters in this city. In less than fifty pages of short, simple sentences moeracy as well as the needs and rights of it's people are outlined in this little book, with brief explanations of such subjects as public education, health. legislation, representation, the courts, foreign relations, fraud proven ton, insurance, taxation, naturaliza- tiOn and duties of citizenship. Trans lated into foreign languages or quoted by thousands of the trained native speakers who are enlisted in this civic campaign, the contents of this hand book on American democracy will be placed before every man, woman and child in this country whose civic igno- rance might make them easy prey for Bolsheyih propaganda. It includes copies of the Declaration of Independ- ence and the Constitution of the Unit ed States.
 Declaring that tour country Is the land of freedom and opportunity and that knowledge of it's Constitution is necessary to the American-born as well as to the foreign-born If they, too, are to take up the task of faithful citizen ship" this primer of patriotism de- votes itself at the outset to "the gen. eral work of reconstruction in citizen ship" It explains that "the citizen who does not possess some knowledge of our democratic institutions may easily become the prey of the dema- gogue or of persons who are anxious

to advance their own interests at the expense of the people,"
 Democracy requires of each man great respect for order, more unself- ish consideration of every mans rights and advantage" asserts this new pam phlet under the heading "The Needs of the People" Each citizen is respon- sible for the conduct of the Govern ment. He Is part of the state, not merely a subject of it. The Govern ment is his. If it is bad it is his fault. He has put power into the wrong hands,"
 "The first duty of every citizen is to vote at every election" 1t is declared in a chapter on 'The Citizens Part" "He has no right to shirk this simple duty. No one has right to complain to vote. It is not fair play to the rest of the people when any man does not help to do the work which benefits all. Every citizen should study public questions enough to vote wisely and he should take the time, above all things, to learn about the men who are to be voted for as public officers. He should follow only those leaders who are true to the peoples interest"
 After sketching the rise of democ racy in this country and the part taken in 1t by various foreign leaders the pamphlet says: "The European strug gle for liberty is marked oftentimes by terrible injustice, by disrespect for law, by public disorder and public dis aster. In its history injustice is often revenged by injustice, not overcome by equality of opportunity. We see a noteworthy and terrible example of hcense-not liberty-in Russia today. All these attempts are endeavors after liberty and in that measure are praise worthy. When they grow to lawless- ness they must be condemned by every lover of democracy"
 Millions of copies of this patriotic primer will be printed and distributed not only in the channels of this civic education campaign of the National Catholic War Council, but through ev- cry civic agency in the work of which it would prove of value.

The family came west in 1870 and

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAKE
APPROPRIATION OF $3,625 TO
CARRY ON WORK NEXT YEAR

At recent meeting of the County
Commissioners an appropriation of
$3,625 was made to cover Farm Bu-
$3,625 was made to cover the work of
reau work for 1919-z0. The year 1919
carried an appropriation of $1,625 and
$4,000 was set aside for the coming
year. There is at present about $500
in the treasury as a result of the
membership campaign in the county.
The work of the County Agent in
this county has not been appreciated
as it should have been. IN other coun~
ties the farm bureau is becoming
popular and each and every farmer
takes advantage of it by asking for
solutions of their agricultural prob
lems. Probably Stearns will come
to see the great Importance of the bu-
reau and will take more interest in it
in the future. The work of the
county commissioners in appropriat-
ing this omount has created much
favorable comment.

The damage was caused mostly by
the tidal wave driven in from the

WILLARD DEFEATS MELROSE
IN CRUCIAL BALL GAME AT
COUNTY. FAIR LAST FRIDAY

Base ball lovers had the time of
their young lives at the Stearns
county fair last week.
Wednesday Osakis took on Albany
and defeated them handily by a score
of. S to 5. .s-a..,-s@.
Thursday Osakis and Melrose were
both loaded for bear. Fischer, resid-
ing near Avon, was in the box for
Melrose with Schener behind the bat.
Osakis had imported Wood, Brain
erd's famous pitcher, and placed Tan
ner of Little Falls behind the bat.
This was battle roya' for seven
innings. In the first of the eighth
Melrose pushed over a couple by the
grace of, couple Of hits and very
bum throw by Catcher Tanner to Lee
at third. Osakis scored one in the
last half of the eighth, but that was
all. -~
The hackers of both outfits were
very confident and the Melrose sports
lugged home a good bunch of kale
that formerly reposed in the inside
pockets of the Osakts bunch.
Friday Willard played the winner.
In this game Melrose used the always
reliable Roy Young on the hill top.
Woods was aching for another try at
Melrose, and Black, Wizards regular
catcher did the receiving.
If teams can be sized up by one
game Willard is the strongest team
contesting at the fair. She played
rings around her opponents in every
department of the game. Woods had
the Melrose bunch eating out OF his
hand all the time, IN spite of the fact
that they claimed he "didn't have a
thing" The feature of this game
was the scoring of Al Castle of Vii
lard from second on an infield hit
with one man down; and there was no
fumbling of the ball, either. The
final score was A to in favor of
Willard.
If the table of elimination is used
Willard can well claim the champion
ship. Osakis eliminated Albany.
Melrose eliminated Osakis and Viii
lard put the hbosh on Melrose.
incidentally some OF the kale lug
ged home by the Melrose sports on
Thursday returned to the place from
whence it came at the close of Fri
days game.
The Herald notes that Melrose is
claiming the championship of this
section. In view of the fact that
Willard has defeated her twice out of
three tries this yea,, a disinterested
observer must come to the conclusion
this claim is little far fetched. 1t
is said that Melrose has issued a
challenge to Willard for five-game
series with much coin on the side.
Here's hoping the series will be ar
ranged.

The defendants themselves did not

of which criticized his decision. He

The gross receipts for the 1919 fair
at the gate, grand stand and conces-
sions, were $4,393.85; an increase of
$435.19 over 1919 and $233.S3 over

books in shape to pay the premiums.
