There is a movement on foot to
give a bonus to the boys who stepped
into khaki during the war. But it
is not as snappy as the movements
the boys made.
Russians are beginning to realize
that raising hell doesn't produce
enough food to keep them from starv-

Tragedy is mOurnful and dread
full event. The dictinOary says so.
There are many mournful and dread
full events in life. The farmer of to-
day is charged so cents for ten
pounds of cornmeal. To get the so
cents he must sell two bushels of
corn. That is tragedy.

Less ImmigratiOn-New Law Just
Enacted
Congress has enacted a law and
President Harding has signed it, to
limit the coming of foreigners into
this country. This is a step in the
right direction. America has had her
doors open for many years to almost
everybody who wanted to come.
The new law limits the immigra-
ton to three per cent of any nation
atty, as shown by the census of 1910.
For example if his census shows five
million foreign born Germans in the
United States, 1910, the new law will
permit ore hundred and fifty thou
sand Germans to enter.
The records of our criminal courts
show that a large percentage of law
breakers are foreigners in the U. S.
A. Many have come here to make
mischief. The bolshevik from Russia
has no use for the law and order of
America.
Those who come to our shores from
now on Will be sifted. We intend to
get folks worth while and not the
scum of the old world to poster and
tester America.
The new law ought to have provid-
ed that those who are admitted should
serve five years on a farm before be-
coming citizens. This would give them
a chance to see the best side of Amer
lea instead of the worst side, which
they often see when they jam them
selves into our big cites, where the
mischief maker gets hold of them and
fills them full of poison against our
government.
President Harding did right in
signing the law. The largest number
of foreigners who can enter our coun-
try from now on to June, 1922, is
$4,000 people. Last year only
twenty-eight out of each one thou
sand who entered were farmers.

Booze and War-BOotleggers In
Favor
The Anti-Saloon league has plenty
of pep and punch. 1t is one power
that can make congress sit up and
take notice and do its duty.
Bootleggers and booze peddlers
were happy for a few days. They
thought they would have a harvest
and be free from any torment of the
law. The money to enforce prohibi-
ton ran out. Seven hundred law en-
forcing officials were to be fired be-
cause Of no funds
Then appeared the leaders of the
league. They talked plain. They
served notice that the Volstead law
must be enforced. They demanded
an appropriation to keep the seven
hundred officials on the job. they
got the money.
