1t is altogether probable that the
action of this Newark concern in adj
vertising for Americans in place of
Bolshevistic aliens will become gen.

Baltimore house employing hundreds
of hands, many of whom are aliens,
has recently stated that as rapidly
as it can do so it will drop out all
foreigners, even if naturalized, and
seek to fill their places with genu-
inc Americans.
The spirit is abroad in the land to-
day to differentiate between Amerl-
cans and aliens, and the labor lead
ers who are now seeking to use the
aliens in this country for disrupting
our business conditions and destroy
ing our government will soon find
that Americans will have the pick of
all jobs worth having, and that the
alien will get only the jobs for which
no American can be found

say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me
astray,
"This is my work; my blessing, not
my doom;
OF all who live, I am the only one
by whom
The work can best be done in the
right way"
Then shall I see it not too great,
nor small,
To suit my spirit and to prove my

Then shall cheerful greet the Ia
boring hours,
And cheerful turn, when the long
shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and
rest,
Because | know for me my work is

Freak Storm Plays
 Franks In Bisbee

A freak rainstorm struck Bisbee late Sunday evening and for more than two hours deluged the city with one of the heaviest downpours of the year. The rain was accompanied by terri flying electrical display, during most of which the city's lights were out of commission. At the motion picture theaters panics were narrowly avert ed when the lights suddenly were ex- tinguished, to be followed by deaf eningi crash of thunder.
 Brewery Gulch and Tombstone can yon became miniature rivers and the lower ends of the two streets were clogged with sand and boulders washed down from the gulches. A popcorn stand was washed down Brewery Gulch and the water poured into a number of stores.
 While the storm was raging in Bis bee only few drops fell in Warren, four miles away The chief force of the storm was at Douglas, where streets became running rivers and store basements were flooded.
