THEY CAN'T FORGET

From the New York Telegram.
 My idea of a good German is one who is buried six feet deep in auicklime. And then be careful of your boots" said a soldier in the lOGth regiment, who dsem- parked from the Caronia on Monday.
 .'One of their schemes was to cruelty q cat or a dog on a tree first having in- serted charges of INT in the holes drilled for the nails, wired and set so that when the nail was withdrawn tree. cat and rescuers would be blown to pieces.
 sNe had not been in action very long before we realized why the Canadians and the gallant Anzacs refused to take prisoners. They would howl "Kamerad!' and shoot you with little pistols that 'cculd be concealed in the palm of the hand.
 These fellows, who have been declared by pacifsts good American citizens po- te ntially,' are nothing but beasts.
 ''These things will not induce those who have relatives and friends lying dead in France to soon forget the war and eN- tend the right hand of fellowship to tt ose of our voting population resident here who are even today too contemptu- ouo of the United States to learn and speak the language"

Protesting Against
 False Economy

lNNR. c. c. TEACH, president of 0 the Alabama Polytechnic insti- ute at Auburn, does well to enter a strong protest against Congress re- ducing the appropriation for farm demonstration in Alabama below the recommendation of Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture.
 Dr. Thach points out that still greater hardship for Alabama is found in the pending bill in the provision which would place the item in ques- tion under the conditions of the Smith-Lever fund, namely, matching dollar for dollar"
 If the agricultural bill passes as it now stands, demonstration agents in many counties would have to be dropped. This would be serious mat ter indeed. Alabama is making strides and agriculture has made it's forward movement largely as the result of the faithful and intelligent service of the county agents.
 Economy in public expenditures is l in order now more than ever, but there is such thing as false econ- omy and the provision against which protest is now made means nothing less than false economy.
 l It is hoped that Dr. Thach will have | the earnest cooperation of the Ala bama delegation in his effort to save the county demonstration system.

Troublesome Aliens Should Be Deported

THE statement made by Raymond | O F. Crist, deputy commissioner of naturalization, that about tenth of the population of the United States is composed of unnaturalized aliens is a lserious reflection on the efficacy of our melting pot'
 Because of the war it has been gen. erally supposed that Germans more than any other nationality clung to their foreign citizenship and strove to l keep alive in America the ideals of their native land. This was probably due to the fact that we have such a large German-born population and one ! that has been most active in forming German societies. A large percentage of our Communications proved their loyalty to the land of their adoption when the test came.
 Yet, there is some reason to be un- easy over the fact that there are IT, I000,00O aliens in Amepica, of whom only about 6,0000OO have become cit lizens, thus showing, because we may assume that all of them came in before the war started, as there has been no immigration for more than four years, that they are not in sympathy with American institutions. Any alien who remains in this country for a period of wears and makes no effort to become a citizen evidently has no desire to fulfill his obligations to the land that has given him refuge and it may seriously be questioned if he is fit for citizenship.
 The statement is made on good au- thority that many of the bolshevist Iagitators who are now fomenting trou- lble in Russia came from New York's East Side. The recent spread of bol- shevism in America is due largely to unassimilated foreigners who hate the American government and all things American.
 1 MT. Crist suggests that it is the duty of an American citizen to urge his friends and acquaintances of for leign birth to become naturalized. This is not easy when foreigners cling to their own language and their own customs and establisS communi-

THE TIGERS WARNING

arms. With bolshevism in Russia flourishing and making ready for coz, operation with the bolshevized or semi4| bolshevized Germany, France cannoe but feel that the worlds task has not been carried through.
 Yet there is note of faith and op- timism in the words of the French leader. America has promised that France will not be left alone to face the new danger from the east. If French democracy is really endanger- ed American democracy will once more stand shoulder to shoulder with the fighting men of France. This says NJ. Clemenceau, is President Wilson's as- surance. and on this assurance France is willing to yield to the American and British opinion that the war should not be carried into Russia.
 Democracy will wait. Democracy will give Russia her chance to carry the war to the outer world. Democracy will give unrepentant Germany her chance to make common cause with Russian bolshevism. Only if these chances are grabbed by Russians and Germans will democracy consent to fight. This is the sentiment of the ma jority leaders al Paris and France must acquiesce. At Princes Islands Rus sian bolshevism will make it's worth less promises at Paris and Versailles German representatives will wrathfuf- ly assent to the terms which are now being formulated.
 The war is not over till it is over" As yet the war against Germany is not technically over. while the war against Russia has never even begun. Germanism and bolshevism are very much alive. The world democracies think and talk only of peace, while Germany nourishes her hate and dist sembles and the bolshevists wax stronger and more zealous with every new indication that the allies too greatly dread the task of cleaning RuSsia's Augean stables ~

that the finest apples he has seen anywhere were from orchards in this district. The fruit compares favor ably with the choicest produced in Oregon.
 The orchard industry has been neg lected here, but the animating discus sions at Wednesdays convention should have the effect of bringing about a different condition. It is esti- mated that one million dollars worth of apples were shipped into Alabama last year. As Professor Starcher re- marked, this was absurd, for Alabama has the best soil in the world for ap- ples. We should be shipping out apples instead of drawing on other states.
 Jefferson county is widely known as a coal, iron and steel center-as the manufacturing hub of the south-but with we'll directed energy on the part of truck and fruit growers it can be made famous as a horticultural center as well.
 Time was when the growing of pea nuts was a negligible quantity in Ala bama. But in 1918 this state led all the states of the union in peanut pro- duction. The value of the Alabama crop is estimated at twenty-four mil lion dollars. This years crop prom ises to make new high record, and as with the development of peanut production so it should be with apples And Jefferson county should lead the state

Another funny thing is how careful a man is not to ruin his stomach after it has happened.
 Nature may know what she IS doinS. But why is it that the frost that Kills the peach crop never even faxes sin gle doggone prune?
 If YOU are reliable you do not have to snend any time advertising the fact. Others will do it for you without being asked.
 There are so many narrow-minded people in this world that accusation amounts to conviction.
 You can't make anything else out of a normal man but man. No matter how sick a man may be, just watch hlm brighten up when pretty trained nurse enters his room.
 Another reason why divorce lawyers own automobiles is because every hus- hand has two sets of rules-one for himself and one for his wife.
 The only kind of women who will bear watching IS the prudish kind. who imagine that every man who walks on the same side of the street they are on is either following them or has de- signs on them.
 The reason why girl is so proud of the fact that the lace on her comoi- nation is real and not imitation Is be- cause man can't see it, and even if he could see 1t he wouldn't know the difference.
 There are all sorts of four-flushcrs in the world, including the man who hounds the bar to attract the barr keepers attention and then lets the other fellow who is with him pay for the drinks.
 Purity is usually represented by a figure of woman in the altogether. And some girls seem to think that trey have to advertise their purity by dress ing so that they are half naked on the street.
 Every now and then we see woman who has half an inch of powder on her own face and who is laughing at some other woman because the other woman has too much powder on her face.

----------sS-- ---~-- NO JAPANESE "FLAPPERS Sv

From the New East.
 In Japan the "flapper' has not ar rived. The majority of Japanese young girls never exchange a word with A man of marrageable age outside their own immediate family. There is no mascu. line audience for young feminine CO., quetries and there is no masculine eye to admire the little personal adorn ments, the choice of which fills such a ter's exciting life
 It would seem indeed that life for the young Japanese girl is mainly matter of negations. She has no real clothes problem. Her dress has been designed by some mysterious power long before at a certain age she shall wear certain colors, which must be changed at certain seasons. Her kimono shall have longer or shorter sleeves on this or that occa . sion. Her obi shall be so high and of such and such colors. She has not even to think of how she shall arrange her hair, for the same mysterious power has decreed that the hair shall be oiled. stiffened, combed and twisted into a given pattern. As this mysterious pow CT has to be obeyed, a hairdresser has to be employed regularly for the right fix ing of this coiffure.
 Japanese girl is scarcely an indi- vidual. but is rather part of plan. and her silhouette must correspond with the plan A husband having been obtained for her, a dowry provided, her wardrobe filled, she has not even to exercise orig inality in the furnishing of her home. the same mysterious power has decreeo how this home shall look.
