and State Game Warden G. A. Jak-
ways talked to the club on the subject
of outdoor life.
Mr.. Davidson told the club that
about 100000 people Of foreign
birth, representing all races, languag-
es and religions, come to the United
States annually imbued with the idea
that America is the promised land" "
They arrive here full Of hope" said
Mr.. Davidson. "a great proportion

do not learn our language and are
slow to assimilate out ideas and Gus

BOlshevism is Defeated
Il want to digress long enough to
say that AUGMENTATION work done
here by j. G. Reed Of the American
ization committee has brought greater
results than anything ever attempted
locally along the same line. His meth

AT Stockett he found a man who
had been in America II years and -,7ho
had been denied citizenship five times
because of his inability to pass the
examination. He had nearly worn out
his book of instructions. This man
and others Of his kind are given prac-
teal instruction by the Americaniza-
ton committee and material progress
is being made. One hundred men at
Stockett responded to the first call for
class in naturalization. The school
board there gave us the use of their
school rooms, but enough teachers
have not yet been secured"
1.-TWO classes are held every week at
the Americanization school on the west
side. Civics is taught and the students
are made fit to pass an examination.
The men are anxious to learn. As
they progress in their studies it is
easy to recognize the increased ease
with which bolshevist and l. W. W.
propaganda is defeated. At one of the
classes, in explaining the bill of rights
in the federal constitution, the men
were inclined to be scornful towards
the guaranteed right of free speech.

them understand and I know they were
willing to accept the truth when they
had an opportunity to hear it,
Natives Need AmericanizatIon.
'"There is need, too. Of Americaniza-

so with the native. The Americaniza

prepare them to fill more useful place

address that outdoor life is one of the
greatest attractions for the tourist, and
that in restocking the fishing streams

especially emphasized.
1.-THE state finds a clearly defined
duty in the work Of protecting the wild
life within it's borders said Mr.. Jak
ways to the club. although one except
ton should perhaps be cited. There
is some wild life along the Canadian
border that needs no protection. We
can well interest ourselves in the fact
that it was once possible for the fish
erman to fill his basket in short time.

conditions passed with the coming of

Rearing Ponds Important
my hobby is rearing ponds. Sports
men over the state are coming to real

and are giving valuable assistance. My
visit here is to inspect several rearing
pond sites, and your local sportsmen
and club organizations are contributing !
to the success Of the I'M

rearing pond is in the fact that it gives
