Many New Machines

More than 10000 automobiles
have been sold in Minnesota to date
this year, if the number Of new state
licenses sold is a criterion. The to-
tai of state licenses issued since jan
uary 1, 1918, is 215,175, according
to figures given out by Julius A.
Schmahl, secretary of state. Min
neapolis has nearly twice as many
automobiles owners as st. Paul, ac-
cording to the figures. Licenses in
the present four-year series total IT.
957 in Hennepin county, including
24,S35 in Minneapolis, and 3,267 in
Ramsey county, including 1906 in

FARM WOMEN WILL
HAVE SHORT COURSE
Held at West Central School of Agr-
culture June II to 90, During
Chautauqua Week

The fifth annual Short Course for
farm women will be held at the West
Central School of Agriculture from
June II through June 20. This
week, which is really vacation
period for farm women, has become
one Of the most popular and bene-
fetal short courses conducted at the
Farm School. The large number Of
the women who we're in attendance
at the short course in 1918 have al
ready made inquiry concerning the
short course for this year. A large
and enthusiastic attendance is as
sured.
The work this year will have many
new features in the line of beneficial
talks and demonstrations in the many
problems in which farm women are
most interested A staff of experts
from the University, the practical
people who have made success Of
the subjects which they will discuss,
will appear upon the daily program.
Ample entertainment of the right
kind is being provided. A special
feature this year will be a social
hour during the middle of the after
noon at which time coffee and light
refreshments will be served to those
in attendance. Because this short
course affords an opportunity for
most women to visit friends resid-
ing in Morris and to shop in the city
of Morris, a free bus line will be in
operation between the school and
town during each afternoon of the
short course. It will also afford an
opportunity for the women to at
tend the session of the Chautauqua
June II. A special descriptive cir
cular is now being prepared and will
be sent to all those interested in this
short course. About IS women
availed themselves of this opportun-
ity in 1918 and it is hoped that $50
will be in attendance this year.

CITY COMMISSION IS
PREPARING FOR PAVING
Every Lot Along Atlantic Avenue
Must Connect With Sewer and
Water or Forfeit Rights

The city commission is addressing
itself these days to the various prob
lens in connection with the big paw
ing job which will be undertaken
here this summer. One of the first
things to be provided for are the
water and sewer connections, and
the commission has now passed an
ordinance requiring the owners of
every twenty-five foot lot along At
lantic avenue to have the water and
sewer connection to this lot made
within thirty days, or forfeit the
right to make this connection for a
period of fifteen years. The purpose
of this ordinance is obvious to fore
stall the running of the pavement
within a few years by continually
tearing it up to put in sewer and
water connections.
Citizens will be pleased to learn
that arrangements have been made
with the state to commence it's con-
crete work north of the Great North
ern depot at the intersection of the
DonneIly road and the Hall road.
The paving of certain portions of
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh streets
abutting upon Atlantic avenue is al
so being considered, and if the pro-
perty owners petition for it, will
be undertaken in connection with the
big job of paving Atlantic avenue.
Concrete paving, reinforced with
wire mesh, has been tentatively de-
cided upon as the type of paving to
be used on Atlantic avenue.

The immigration question
should be taken up and consid-
cred by Congress at once.
We have had but little INT
migration during the four years
of war. Now with conditions
altered and peace at hand it is
not unreasonable to suppose
that after a few months immi-
grafton might begin to flow in
to its old channels.
Nearly four millions of our
own men are in process of re-
ceiving honorable discharge
from the army and navy, and
will have to be reabsorbed into
the civilian life of the country.
Just how the readjustment of
business may progress or how
much unemployment there may
necessarily be no one yet can
tell.
We may not at once have
jobs for all our own men. They
have been our defense and in
turn are entitled to our pro-
lection.
A restriction of general i'm
migration for some time to
come can harm no one, and
may be of the greatest value to
our young men. AS soon as
reconstruction has progressed
far enough so that conditions
can be foreseen, it will be an
easy matter to let down the
bars.
The time to attend to this
limiting of immigration is the
present. Just now no shipping
can be spared for the use of
immigrants, and before this
condition ends proper legisla-
ton should be provided.
Our country has always been
the refuge of all nations. It
will be so more truly again af-
ter a temporary restriction to
meet conditions.

OUR WELCOME
TO OUR MEN.

Transports from overseas
are entering our seaports and
lying at their docks, and every
day disembarking a crowd of
our boys in khaki. These young
men will soon be at their homes
and the question is, How shall
wewelcome them?
With bands and parades and
meeting at the town hall, if you
will. These demonstrations of
welcome are proper and fitting.
But what our young men will
presently need is employment.
Every mans old job should
be open to him wherever pos
sIible. But as the regiments
pour back, there may be more
work still needed to fill the
needs of the men.
Each village and town and
city should take stock of its re-
quirements, both immediate
and potential, and use every
means of instituting them at
once. If a school house or an
engine house or any public
building is needed, now is the
time to inaugurate it. The
good roads question is always
with us. Manufacturing of
some local raw material into a
finished product may possibly
be undertaken.
Initiative in these directions
will be the truest welcome to
our men.
Let us in Garrard County be
in the front in undertaking any
new project to supply the ad-
ditional employment which
will be needed.
