The county commissioners have
made one-fourth mill levy to provide
funds to fight the grasshoppers. This
will amount to only about % cents on
each quarter section of land in the
county and the saving ought to run
into hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
The county will furnish all the grass
hopper poison that is needed and any
farmer who finds any of the pests at
work on his grain, ought to get busy
and put out the poison for them.
County Agent German has charge of
distributing the poison and he will tell
you just how to put it out. Many Of
the townships have organized and
others will do so at once. The hide
pendent is glad to report that the dam
age done by the grasshoppers in Ward
county, so far, is not as heavy as that
in some other counties, still there is
great danger that unless the pests are
poisoned, great deal of the grain will
be ruined before harvest.

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker,
Americas noted ace of aces, turned the
enthusiasm of his thrilled audience at
the Academy of Music last night into
a wild tribute to three great British
airmen. He Unexpectedly discovered
them hidden in his audience, while he
was telling his own story Of the air.

Captain Rickenbacker stepped to the
edge of the stage, and. pointing a

faces of three of the greatest pilots the

loose for Majors F.. F.. Fullard, s. r..

is time for the American people rep resented by the American congress to give determined consideration to some plan of affording these foreign citizens an opportunity to learn what the institutions of America stand for and to become Americanized We saw some young fellows who had only a smattering of our tongue, who im- pressed us as splendid material out of which to make American citizens.
 "tTwo bills are now pending before the committee, of which l have the honor to be chairman, dealing with this question. The committee meets earnestly hope that one or both of them may be reported out of the committee and may be passed by con- gress before adjournment. There is no greater question than that of Americanizing this nation of ours.
 Many of those who cannot speak our language are yearning to know it, and want the opportunity to learn about our institutions.
 Most of them have subscribed for Liberty bonds but how can they know anything about American in- stitutions when they cannot speak Americas langage. We cannot reach a one-language nation over night but that eventually should be our goal. It will take some time but the result will be worth while for there is na- tional solidarity in all people of na- tion, speaking the same language. Eight and half million people in this country over 10 years of age cannot speak, read or write the Amer ican language. To the correction of that condition every citizen should re- solve to do his part"

Senator Kenyon Finds Half of Steel
 Workers Are Unable to Read Writ cor
 Speak English; Urges Americanization

Washington, Oct. 13.-American- lzatlon of foreigners should be an immediate effort of congress through legislation, declared Senator Kenyon ot Iowa, chairman of the senate la- DOT committee, which returned today from an Investigation of the steel strike in the Pittsburgh district. As- serting that about half of the steel workers are of foreign birth and can not read, write or speak English, Sen ator Kenyon said one of the first aims o1 congress as result of the com mittee's inquiry should be American lzation legislation. The senator de- Ecllned to discuss other ideas gained from the committee investigation which, he said, would be continued in the near future, possibly on other strike districts.
 In formal statement issued late today Senator Kenyon said:
 q do not desire to discuss the steel strike, nor the reasons nor causes therefor at this time The committee has not as yet completed their legis- lation. 1 think it permissible to say, however, that the committee returned from the Pittsburgh district strong ly in favor of some Americanization bill:
 q have thought for a long while that congress must do what it could to help stimulate Americanization That is a common ground upon which we all can stand, and is a rallying point for all.

 TO CAPTURE THE POWER OF STATE
Sensational Radical Literature
 is Being Spread About the Streets of Gary

Chicago, Oct. 13.-Radical pam- |phlets distributed here today as re- suit of the steel strike and the occu- patton of the city by federal troops under General Wood were distribut- ed as a proclamation of the Com munist Party of America" The heading of the circular was: "The Capitalists Challenge You, Work men,"
 The pamphlet declares that the municipal government of Gary, sub- hitting to the control of the steel trust, had forbidden the workmen to hold public meetings and parades and that for two weeks the work ingmen had permitted the steel trust government to trample under foot the democracy which they had been so often assured were the heri- tage of the people of this country"
 "The national government, the capitalist state," the pamphlet says, after telling of the arrival of the federal troops, "had stepped in. The steel trust was in danger of being beaten. To save itself it brought into the field the instrument forged by the capitalists to uphold their system of exploitation and oppres- sion, the state which, in spite of all it's democratic pretensions is but the physical oppression of the dictator ship of the capitalistic classes" The pamphlet tells of raids con- ducted by the military authorities lin the search for radical literature and concludes:
