FACT. sTupENDous
(From Tuesdays Daily.l

Of all those people came to this coun-
try on tickets bought by relatives and
friends.
Another significant fact that many
Of the men who return to Europe are
skilled mechanics while those who ar
rive in America are often unskilled.
All this means that America fur
nishes the brains and the money to
develop skilled manufacturers in re-
gions where labor is cheap and thus
we must meet products of the com
bination as competition.
Naturally our country. should well
come the immigrant who wishes to
mack his home here We would en-
courage all institutions of progress
everywhere, but America may also
consider the economic forces which
may shape her destiny, and furnish
equal chances for her own sons and
daughters.

We publish below an original poem
written by an eight year old girl, a
pupil of the North Greenwood school.
WILDFIRE
What horse knows so much of need,
What horse can make such speed as
Wildfire.
How proudly he bears his master,
Now dashing down hills so much fas-
ter,
And people whisper to each other say
ing that's
Wildfire.
But he is through with his toll
For he lied deep beneath the soil
And what horse offered his life SO
freely as
Wildfire.
