DEALING WITH THE
uN-DEPORTED

America consists Of Americans and
Of nothing but Americans. Those,
who within the past few years, have
come TO think Of America as a vast
mixture Of languages, race and clash
ing doctrines, have had the wrong
viewpoint. They have been thinking
Of America as a place and not as an
ideal.
Millions Of immigrants have crossed
the ocean from the Old World. They
have reached our shores, but many of
them have never reached America.
On the other hand, many Of our native
born are not now and never have been
Americans. There is no such thing as
an american Red" There is no such
thing as an American |. w. W"
An American is a man who feels
American, thinks American and acts
American--no matter where he was
born.
America has plainly Of room and
warm welcome for those who wish to
become Americans, but it cannot spare
a single square foot Of soil to those
who intend to continue un-American
and anti-American. Fortunately, we
san deport some Of the most noxious
Of these intruders, but these are but a
small percentage Of the unfit. What
about the remainder?
There is but one answer: They must
be Americanized.
This, however, is not task for the
Department of Justice, not even for
Congress and the various state legis-
latures; it is task for the rank and
file Of American citizens. 1t is task
Of education plus, and Of influence
plus; it is really a task of moral CO.
ercion. 1t is a task for swift and
energetic action, wherein American
citizens in all their vast numbers must
seize opportunities when they exist,
and create opportunities when they do
not exist, TO Americanize all who come
within their own circles or else TO cast
them out of their circles.
1t is no time to talk Of "broad-mind-
ed sympathy" or of Cancellation"
where great question of right and
wrong is involved. You cannot "con-
ciliate" evil any more than you can
"conciliate" confagration.-The Fire
Insurance Americanization Movement.

WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF AMERICA?

America stands before the world as
great concrete fact. The war has
cast a food Of light upon il. America
was not discovered in 1892; it was dis
covered in 1917 and 1918, By the rest
Of the world and also by ourselves
America went to war for an ideal
II sent two million men across the sea
and was preparing TO send two million
more, with other millions still in re-
serve. II raised billions for war pur-
poses with an ease that amazed the
world and scarcely touched its re-
sources. 1t gave hundreds Of millions
for war benefits. Ii organized its in
dustrial facilities into single
machine of incredible powers. II re-
vealed a spiritual capacity for sym
pathy, self-sacrifce and exalted loyal
" of which We ourselves had never
dreamed. The war came to an abrupt
end when America had only begun TO
exert it giant strength, while almost
unlimited resources were still in re-
serve. This was the nation which we
saw in the light Of a dazzling trans
fguration only a few short months
ago.
Let US not forget the vision, for
already it is becoming apparent that
this land Of ours is infested with
swarms of enemies TO every ideal for
which America stands. lmpudently
upon the good-natured toll
erance, which has been so characters
tically American, these vicious agitat-
ors have gone TO almost unbelievable
lengths in their attempts TO tear down
and to disintegrate Most amazing Of
all, they have received the encourage
ment Of various so-called ''intellec-
tuals" who have sought to obscure
with a haze Of theory and doctrine the
star question of good and evil.
Fellow Americans, let US see these
things clearly and simply. Let US
make no mistake about the meaning |
Of the present disorder. 1t is not aim
ed at the correction of our defects; its
purpose is destruction
destruction Of our civilization, destruc-
ion of our nation and destruction Of
)ur ideals.
Two years ago we thought that
America was good enough to sacrifice
or, to fight for and, if need be, to die
or. Do we still think so? Let the
inc be drawn clearly and sharply and
ct US take our stand with all the earn
,stness, alertness and determination
hat we possesg Let us show by our
.ctions what we really think of
America-The Fire Insurance Ameri-
Movement.

WHAT'S THE REASON!
Many Maysyille People In Poor Health
without Knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who
drag out miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suffer-
ing. Dry after day they are racked
with backache and headache; suffer
from nervousness, dizziness, weak
ness, languor and depression. Per-
haps the kidneys have fallen behind in
their work of filtering the blood and
that may be the root of the trouble.
Look to your kidneys, assist them in
their work-give them the help they
need. You can use no more highly
recommended remedy than Doan's

LIVE GIRL PUT IN DEAD
BASKET THROUGH ERROR.

Denver, Colo.-When an undertaken
went to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. n.
H. Rogers, 1912 South Pearl street. to
get the body of Gerald Rogers he mis-
took the boys sister, who was uncon-
scoius from illness, for the dead. The
undertaken placed Ellen Rogers in his
mortuary basket and started to carry
her out of the house.
Mrs. Rogers discovered the CHASTITY
error and called the undertaken back
before the girl had ben placed in the
dead wagon.
Gerald Rogers, aged 3, and his
crother Kenneth, 4, died of some
strange malady which is puzzling To-
cal physicians. Ellen, the sister. Z
yers old, lies at the point of death from
the same disease and Roland, another
brother. is ill in bed Ellen is so ill
that she seldom speaks or moves.
When the undertaken approached her
she gave no evidence of life and the
family holds him blameless for the
error
Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers, the parents of
the children, are in perfect health and
show no symptoms of tn estrange dis
ease, although they have nursed the
children night and day since they were
first taken ill.
DIR. +. c. Robb, who was at the bed
side of one of the little boys when he
died, declared that death was due to
diphtheria, but DR. w. w. Butman. the
family physician, stoutly maintains
that not one of the children had even
the symptoms of diphtheria. Both DR..
Butman and DR.. Robb took cultures
from the bodies of the dead children
and also from Ellen, and will have
them analysed by the city health de-
partment The health department will
make complete investigation of the
case.

tary of that organization was in Wau-
seon Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week organizing the County Com
mittee for the drive for Fulton's quota
of the $1O,OoO,0O0 National Saliva

The purpose of this national cam

home service of the Saliva
ton Army is tosec ure adequate funds
to finance the work of the army with
out resorting to the petty solicitation
from house to house and store to
store. This method of raising funds
has been discontinued entirely hv the
Salvation Army and Capt. Coates
advises that hereafter any person
soliciting funds from house to house
in the name of the Salvation Army
should be reported to police authoro-
ties at once as an imposter
This drive for funds to support al
branches of the benefcent work Of
the Salvation Army has the backing
of all ex-service men. especially those
who were helned and comforted by
the work of the Salvation Army owe

sands of men and women in Americ;
