naturalization by Raymond F. Crist,
deputy commissioner of naturaliza-
ton, it is stated that surveys have
been made from time to time to ascer-

The company is hopeful that this
generosity will stampede the strikers.

MOOSE
Membership Campaign Is
Big Success.

What was the largest and most sue
cessful membership campaign ever
conductc il. Hamilton /. a fraternal
order v IS the one 9sed on last
Saturday midnight by Fort Hamilton
Lodge, Loyal Order Moose.
At the time of he closing a total
of 885 applications had been received
during the campaign. Of this num-
Der, 800 were received from August 10
to October /, and 585 were received in
the final drive from that time to the
close at midnigho Saturday. This
will bring the total membership of the
Moose lodge up to 1927, making it the
largest fraternal organization in the
city and very near the largest Moose
organization in the state. Since the
membership has reached so near the
5000 mark, it has been determined
that there will be no letup until this
mark has been passed; and that means
that it will be done ina very few days,
as the popularity of the lodge ha,
caused it to grow in leaps and bounds.
When one considers the short time
that this lodge has been organized n
this city its enormous growth has been
truly wonderful The lodge has been
fortunate in the selection of its of
ficers, who have always proven to be

of Stanley Ogg, Harry Schuster and

has generated well defined kick by ice
consumers throughout the city, and a
movement is already on foot to see if
measures can not be taken to prevent
the raise.
The published schedule of prices
shows a very material increase over the
price charged in the past, and consum-
ers are protesting over what they be-
lieve to be am imposition and another
case of the ultimate consumer being

Another thing that large users of ice
are protesting against is the early morn
ing deliveries in the business section.
They say that the deliveries are made
at so early an hour that by the time
the doors of their establishments are
opened, much of the ice has melted
away.
They are also protesting over the
manner ice is delivered in the after
noon, in fact the largest consumers of
the city say the service is anything but
satisfactory and some Of them are going
to petition the Retail Merchants Asso-

HUNGARIAN "WILSONITES."

How far apart are Hungarian So
cialism and the socialism Wilson and
Burleson are practicng. And how
soon to be blended?
Across the ocean, Alexis Bolgar, a
Hungarian representative well known
TO his countrymen in the United
States, has proclaimed himself as a
Bolshevist to a representative of the
Associated Press. Bolshevism, he eX-
planned, was but phase of socialism,
and all socialists in Hungary were
working with Lenine of Russia and
the Sparticans of Germany.
Count Alexis Bolgar, whom the So
cialists had lately put at the head of
the government of Hungary, had been
thrown out because he was opposed
30 communists rule and the rationale
zation of property. That is, he did not
believe in the taking of private and
public property, turning it over to
community control and management,
and in ignoring ownership rights. He
was not exactly in the Burleson class.
In concluding the interview the
spokesman for the triumphant ele-
ment said of the various factions
among the socialists: 1--WE Hunga-
rians are all Wilsonites"
