man Cunneen says that nothing but
real record breaking celehra ton Will
answer in the name of the town as
public expression OF appreciation OF
how Killingly's people feel toward the
boys who represented them ms all the
arms of the service. The idea is to
make it a real Red Letter day, one
that people here will remember as
long as this generate lasts, and the
story of which will be handed down, as
an inspiration, for other generations
to know that killingly does not for
get its own.
AS the town did not appropriate any

Tag day is scheduled for a week from
Saturday and arrangements will in all
probability be made for a benefit per
Torrance at the Orpheum theater to
add still further to the funds.
The celebration will cost a lot OF
money, but it will go to teach a lessor
in patriotism and will give thousands
a chance to properly pay tribute to the
hundreds of Killingly boys who en-
tered into service for the world war.

OBITUARY OF
EVELYN CHlLBERC

Mrs. Evelyn Downs Chilberg. wife
of Clarence V. Chilberg, died in he1
fathers home on Grand Prairie on
May 10, 1919. The deceased was born
in Terre Haute, Indiana, September
~, 1896. The family moved to Barnes
County in 1914, and have lived near
Valley City since that time. Deceased
was married to Clarence V. Chilberg,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Chilberg, on
Christmas Day, 1916. They made
their home on their farm near For
sythe, Mont. Last fall Mrs. Chilberg
suffered with the Spanish influenza.
That disease was followed by tubercu-
losis of the lungs, which was the ulti-
mate cause of her death. In March.
when her condition became critical,
she returned with her husband to her
fathers home where she spent the re-
naming weeks of her life. She was
brave and cheerful to the last She
seemed to realize that the end was
near and on Monday morning, at
1925, she slipped quietly and peace
fully away: Besides her husband, de-
ceased leaves father and mother,
seven sisters and two brothers to
mourn her early death. Her loved
ones were all summoned to her bed
side except one sister, Grace, who is |
missionary teacher in South Amer
lea. Mrs. Chilberg was bright, vi
vacious young woman, full of the joy |
Of life. Her CHEEKY disposition won
her many firm friends. Interment
was made in Woodbine cemetery.

American labor situation. This is due
primarily to their inability to COM
prehend our language. An under
standing of our language together
with real sentiment for our country
and a knowledge of the American
ideals, manners and customs makes all
Of the difference between a "hyphen-
ate" and real American citizen.
This is a matter which requires the
cooperation of each and every one of
us. It is very serious problem. The
only real place to make an adult for
eigner into real American is in our
public schools. We were conscious of
this situation before the war but it
was neglected, now it seems to grow
with ever increasing proportions.
There are in New York alone more
Italians than in Rome, more Ger
mans than in any other city save
Berlin, and more Irish than in Dub
lin. How are we going to meet this
problem? Are we going to say help
lessly, "1t is impossible!" No! The
Americans in the past few years have
specialized in doing the impossible
and surely this problem though tre-
menQOuS IN us proportions WILL not
overwhelm US. We must 60 over
the top or 60 under. We must
"Americanize" them or they will "for-
eignize" US.
Americanism is not a sentiment it
is language. "America for Ameri-
cans" we have said. Give the immi-
grant chance and he will become an
American in the true sense of the
word. First an American, then citi-
zen, and the United States will pre-
serve its ideals of justice, peace and
liberty and will become the true land
of oppQrtunitY.

<tAMERICANlZINC
THE FOREIGNER
Normal School Budget)
(Velna McCauD

No one can live in this day and age
without hearing the word "American-
ISM" It is subject which was
thought about and talked about before
the war. Now it must be in the minds
and hearts of every one of US. What
does it mean? It is the adoption of
American language, American cloth
ing and the American attitude in pol
itics? Yes and no! "Americanism"
is in part constituted Of these but in
cludes much more. It means the COM
plete making over of the foreigner
from man of foreign ideals, foreign
speech, foreign sentiment and foreign
thought into dynamic force for our
country. It means the making of the
foreigner, into new being in thought,
feeling and action. How have we been
Americanizing our immigrants ?
We have allowed them to come to our
shores to reap the benefits Of our
country, to become in a sense brothers
to US. But has not something been
neglected? These people came to us
because of their desire for higher
wages, steady work and greater op-
portunities. They have found these
things and more, but they have been
allowed to live with us as members of
our siciety and have changed in moth
ing but their previous habits of work.
They are ignorant of our language,
our ideals, our customs, of the very
things which have made America a
land of opportunity. They have not
added to our country the benefits
which we could derive from them if
they had been given the chance. They
have given us much, but in so far as
they have been left uneducated and
unframed they have added nothing to
the country, but have helped to swell
the socalled "hyphenated" class. This
cannot go on, something must save
the very ideals for which our country
has been 50 dear to US. Schools have
been established. and. foreigners havel

attended them, but in looking over the
records we find that few of our school:
have offered to the adult foreigner al
opportunity for receiving an educa
ton. The offer of these schools has
met with some response from the for.
eigners but it has not been general.
In 1915 the city Of Detroit began q
campaign for "Americanism." They
began with the source of the trouble
and carried out an organized plan OF
work. Every factory now has man
appointed especially to arouse the in
terests of the laborers in the new op-
portunity for education. Evening
schools and special classes under spe-
clally trained instructors are opened
for the exclusive benefit of the foreign
working men and women. These men
and women receive training in citi-
zenship, a course in. "Americaniza-
ton" the men are prepared for nat
uralization through this course. The
demand has increased and great
number of foreigners are now enroll
ed. The attendance of the men is
recorded by the federal government
and the Citizenship Certificate" Civ
en- on completion of the course is
recognized by the government when
the men apply for naturalization.
The work is carried on under two
heads: Naturalization and English
schools. Naturalization work con-
sists in cooperation with the govern
ment department and offers a thor
ough training in citizenship. The re-
suits are-an increased feeling of re-
sponsibility on the part of employers
for the attendance of their employees
at the evening schools, increased CO.
operation between employer and en-
pioyee, better understanding between
these two classes, and in general an
lnvlgorated understanding of the
whole question of citizenship.
The English division of the course
gives the foreigner command of the
English language and the ideals of
our country are brought within his
vision.
This is only an example of the work
that can be done in the matter of
Americanizing the foreigner in our
public schools. His children are al
ready receiving the full benefit of the
American ideals, language and GUS
toms. Equally important is the fitting
Of the adult immigrant to enjoy the
fullest privileges of our country Most
foreigners who become naturalized
take the American attitude in politics
and are not at all interested in ac-
1uiring the real spirit Of American
SIN. Most unemployment is due to-

foreigner to adapt himself to the

COTTON FUTURES
LOWER AT CLOSE
Continuous Profit Taking
Chief Cause of Final Drop
to Days Lowest.

The action Of prices in the cotton
market was yesterday a surprise to the
trade and Wall Stree, operators in gen.
eral. Instead of a stronger market, as
anticipated, its tone was heavy, espe-
cially after the opening. There was
entirely too much realizing pressure
from speculative quarters, and Southern
houses were inclined to sell much. The
closing of the stock market for the day
was no doubt the cause of slackening Of
buying by many quarters. but 1t cannot
be denied that sentiment was reaction
airy at tines
Agitation over the high living cost
many believed would spread to cotton
and the character OF the weather was
favorable. Clearer conditions were in
dicated In the official forecast for all
sections of Eastern States. except parts
Of Georgia. Liverpool was closed as
usual, but It's interests were al times
active. First prices here we're UP to

ately after the call There was con-
tinuous profit taking by many sides and
the low points of the session saw some
options more than u cent q pound un-

Ing cropped up occasionally. but the
market undertone was feverish. Prices
were at or near the lowest levels at the
finish.

Clearing Aouse Statement shows
First Gain I'm Many Weeks.


First Gain I'm Many Weeks.
The actual condition Of the Clearing
House member banks at the close Of
business on Friday night disclosed, ac-
ording to the statement issued yester-
day, an unexpectedly large Improvement
In the cash and reserve position. For
the first time in many weeks aggregate
reserve exceeded $500. 900, 900, and sur
plus reserve amounted to S67,139, $50, an
increase for the week Of $37,530,4S The
gain Of more than 100 per cent. in excess
reserve was due to gain of S4s,000.000
In member banks cash reserve with the
Federal Reserve Bank. Offset only by
Increased reserve required by the ex-
pansion of $S4,94S,000 In demand de-
posits and $4,05s,000 In time deposits.
A feature Of the statement was an
increase of $127,026,000 In loans, dis
counts and investments despite the gen.
orally recessionary character OF last
weeks market. United States deposits
deducted amounted to $3.50, 100, 900,
against $12s,SS0,000 in the last previous
week. That increase of nearly $780,
100000 was helpful to the Clearing
House banks. The New York Stock Tx
change and the curb market were not
open yesterday.
While the foreign exchange market
was quiet and generally unchanged. ex-
perts look for the achievement of new
low records In sterling and franc ex-
change during the coming week. The
demand for cable and check remittances
to London and Paris Is hat and the
market is thin, therefore the moderate
amount of selling anticipated is likely
TO cause a further break in the rates.

COFFEE MARKET.

Cables from Brazil. showing a decline
in the Rio spot market of 200 reis, and
offerings OF Rios at close to exchange
prices here, helped yesterday to develop
an easier tendency In coffee futures here
and on the call prices were 10 to Is
points below the previous close. The
primary market situation was not the
only feature which worked against
higher prices. as the talk OF Government
investigation into the prices OF food
stuffs caused further selling by the bull
crowd. During the early session the
market lacked snap and in the absence
Of selling pressure around IL o'clock De-
cember and March advanced to 10
points. That slight rally was followed
by continued selling for long account
and the only support In evidence came
from shorts, who bought on the way
down. Final prices were rs to 30 points
net lower. Firm offers from Santos
were very irregular and while a small
business was reported on London credits.
offers here in American credit were too
high to attract interest from buyers.
The local spot market was a shade
easier. with Rio rs quoted at 22h cents
to 20 cents.
