and that today all progressive counties
had taken advantage Of the county
agent.
The county demonstration work, in
troduced as a war measure, proved of
inestimable value, and further that
there was need of continuance Of the
work in the lines Of canning, care Of
beef and pork and other products of
the farm, hot lunches in the school,
etc. But, the one big thing was the
proper feeding of the family.
She mentioned the fireless cooker
and the wheel tray as time saving
device.
Cooperation Of all in the community,
she said, meant real success for the
work Of the Home Demonstration de-
partment as well as the Farm Bureau
as a whole.
Mrs. Andreas Ueland, was to speak
on "Women's IS Citizenship By mis-
take she had come here Saturday, and
as she had already had an engagement
for Monday, she was unable to be pres
ent.
AS julius A. Schmahl's train was de-
layed, County Agent Campbell and A.
H. Vernon were called on for short
talks.
Mr.. Campbell touched on the work
of the farm bureau in connection with
home demonstration work. He favored
very much the bringing together Of the
people from all parts of the county,
as it did much to bring better under
standing among them.
Mr.. Vernon praised the work of the
farm bureau and home demonstration
department., as work tending to make
our county and country better. Touch
ing on the America.l Legion, he said
that the Legion did not pretend to have
all the patriotism and judgment in the
country, >ut that it. expressed the Will
Of 100000 men of things which they
believed to be fer the BEST. The Le-
gion members may have hobbies, but
no different that th4 hobbies of other
people. They have problems 20 solve
the same as other citizens. He said
they stood for one common language
and for America first, last and all the
time, regardless from where one came.
Mr.. Schmahl's subject was "America
for Americans. lie said the great
question was to PATRIOTIC tho native
and foreign born. [Patriotize is word
coined by Mr.. Schmahl, he said, to bet
ter express what he wished to convey.)
There is difference between patriot
ism and loyalty-one can think of 10y
atty but patriotism called for action.
Those who wished the boys in the
World War God speed and stopped
there, did service Of little value. A
vote not cast is equal to a one-half vote
for bad government.
The speaker said the first great
thing to do was to transform all. One
cannot be patriotic citizen with al
legiance over there. There can be only
one allegiance. All political and gov
ernmental difficulties will disappear
when all are Americans. We must pass
such fair and equitable legislation that
all will want to become American cit
izens. If one does MT want to become
a citizen, VIC do not want him to 10 so.
If the foreigne: wants 20 meet the re-
quirements, a!l right; otherwise the
sooner he gets out If the country the
better for all concerned.
Mr.. Schmahl stateo that the present
naturalization system seemed to pre-
vent citizenship, rather than to assist
it. that thror'::'. the system those who
would make good citizens are often re-
jected and the smoother or better ed
ucated and in many cases, dangerous
men, were able to pass the tests.
The alien he said was a might prob
lem, and that we were tho only nation
that tolerated foreigners to keep up
their old customs, and their language,
and condemned the flocking Of people
Of one nationality in one community,
and this he believed was responsible
for much Of the un-American doctrine
spread throughout the country. The
speaker said that all agitators we're for
eigners or those who sprang from for
eigners. Separate these, he said, from
the socialist party and the Non-partisan
League, and there would not be enough
of them left to file state ticket.
The American-the English language
should be read and spoken without
any other language in our private and
parochial schools, and we should see
that it is done he said.
Mr.. Schmahl said that Quebec was
the least loyal Of the Canadian prov
inces during the World War, because
40 years ago English and French were
made the official languages.
In closing he paid tribute to the Am
erican Legion, and said that the men of
the Legion and their real home hackers
are going to dominate the affa;rs Of
the nation, and that the Legion well
coined the assistance Of all who came
as American citizens, to make this ma
tion of all the people, and not a particu-
lar part Of the people, and the people Of
