1T is ridiculous to say that the Y.

COMMON CiSlNFECTANTs

COMMON CislNFECTANTs
Disnfectants are used to destroy
organisms that bring on disease, de-
cay or disagreeable orders. There arc
several common and effective kinds,
some of which are poisonous and
should be handled carefully. Good re-
suits have been obtained thru the use
of the following at the Georgia Elk

on exposure to air, therefore it should
be kept in an alright container. 1t
is prepared for use by mixing in the

to each gallon of water. This is a
very efficient disinfectant.
COMMUNICATIVE: This material
is usually purchased under the name
of "Formalin which is a solution
containing about 40 per cent formal
dehyde. 1t is used either as "a gas or
as liquid. Formaldehyde Is very
effective disinfectant. The space to
be disnfectant should be kept tightly
closed and temperature should be
about 65 degrees F. The gas may be
generated from formalin in several
ways The best manner Of applying
is by spraying or thru the use of an
oXidizing agent. In spraying an ounce
of formulin is required for each 100
cubic feet Of space. In using an oxidiz

Doing Our Part.

More than passing Importance should be
attached TO the announcement yesterday of Cir
cult Clerk George w Gamble that more aliens
are applying for citizenship papers than ever
before in the history of Rock Island county.
The problem OF assimilating the foreign
born element into the American nation is one
of the great tasks of the reconstruction period
The necessity for the elimination Of all senti-
ment, alien to the ideals of this nation, has
been so clearly demonstrated during the war,
that there should be no difficulty in completing
the purifying process begun under the stress
Of the national emergency. 1t is Just impor
tant now that we all be smon-pure Americans
as it was when we were in death grip with the
Hun.
Two reasons may be assigned as causes for
this unusual increase in applications First,
the 10 per cent income tax assessed aliens
who have not filed their declarations of inten-
ton has probably Influenced a considerable
number to renOunce allegiance to the land of
their birth. Secondly, many of the candidates
were undoubtedly actuated by patriotic mo-
tives instilled in them during the
1t is to be hoped that it is this desire to
become American citizens, to claim the won
derful achievements of our army and navy as
their own. and to become an active part of the
great American institutions, that has been
largely responsible for their decision.
We need fewer aliens and more patriotic,
100 per cent Americans. America must be
Americanized from one end of the continent to
the other. The records in the circuit clerks
office show that this community is doing its
part in bringing its foreign born residents into
the privileges and duties of American citizen

show surprise when oner Of payment is re-
fused.
No reputable newspaper permits its en-
ployes to accept consideration for the print
ing of real news stories in which its readers
will be sufficiently interested to warrant publ
cation. Anything SO trivial as to fail to meet
this test Is not wanted on any terms. News
papers, of course, have different standards, but
they all insist upon being the judges Of what
is worth printing in their own columns and
what is not.
The value of news item does not neces-
sarily depend upon the attitude toward pub
licfty of those who figure in it. Efforts to es-
cape publication usually are suspicious and
quite often defeat their own purpose, but n
does not necessarily follow the reverse holds
true. Editors as a class too broad to throw
a good story in the waste basket simply be-
cause it will please the principals in It to get

Credit to the Federation of Labor.

The American Federation of Labor is to be
congratulated both on its attitude in repudiat-
ing the radical element within it's ranks and
the frmness of its stand in roofing out boil
shevism. and in its practically unanimous re-
election of Samuel Gompers as its chief.
Mr.. Gompers is the ideal of all the labor
leaders the world has so far produced. He be-
neves in appeal to reason, rather than to force
and hence is distinctly American in theory as
well as in act. Mr. Gompers has further prov
en- his adherence to these principles in time of
national stress. He has been a patriot among
patriots, true to his country at every turn of
tho road
Eelleving firmly in the ideals of arbitration
in TIE adjustment of labor disputes and diff
culties, yet ready to fght if forced upon him.
and then ready to be militant rather than yield
to wrong. He is slow in the adoption of drastic
measures, Intelligence rather than hot-head-
edness, is his dominant trait.
Samuel Gompers is labors fair and trusted
leader-snd he is known by these character
istics.

you have given yours.
In answering my mail have to

appearance and wording of the let

write a mean letter. She said kind
things about her husband, and her
chief complaint was the presence
of his grown-up daughters in her
home-daughters of about her own

tirely justinable.
II would take an exceptionally
strong character to live with a
