Clerk Of Circuit Court Joseph
LaFave has been advised that the
United States Bureau of Immigra-
ton has drafted a bill which it will
present to the next congress com
polling the registration of every
alien in the United States, irrespec-
tive of nationality.
Under the act of congress of Sept.
%, 1922, husband or wife may now
be made naturalized citizens without
the other becoming such. The
naturalization Of the husband natur-
allies his children but does not now
naturalize the wife as formerly.
Any woman married to an alien on
Sept. %, 1922, even though born in
the United States, is still an alien
unless she has since that date secur-
ed her own naturalization papers.
Women who on Sept % last were
American citizens and have since
married aliens, retain their Ameri-
can citizenship. even though their
husbands may be subjects of other
countries.
Persons who are not citizens and
desire information as to the manner
in which to proceed to become
American citizens can obtain the
necessary information from the clerk
of the circuit court of the county in
which they reside.

Claim School Districts Paid for

Madison-The system inaugural
ed by the legislature two years ago
by which school districts must pay 40

rural school if the pupil lives over
two miles from the school is bank
rupting school districts, August
declared ON Tuesday in favoring his
bin which would cut down the
amount to be paid for transporta-
ton and extending the limit to two
and a half miles from which point it
would be necessary to pay.
He declared that under the pre-
sent system families with a number
of children buy a Ford in the spring
and the school district has paid for
the machine by fall
The chief trouble with the law, he
declared, was that farmers were
taking advantage of it and in many
cases were making money out of the
transportation of their children and
their education was only secondary.

SATURDAY, MAY IL, 1923
New Highway Law.

Bill No. 14A, by Assemblynan
George Gauer, Milwaukee, passed by
the legislature and made law by the
signature of Gov. Blaine Saturday,
has state wide significance State
Highway Engineer A. r. Hirst said
on Tuesday.
The bill simply repeats a present
provision of the state highway aid
law that provides that county money
cannot be spent on state highways
within cities of more than 10000
population, in front of property
valued at more than $50 foot; and
that in cities of less than 10000,
county money cannot be expended
on state highways in cities in front
of property valued at more than $40
a foot
This repealed provision limited
the expenditure of county highway
money to outskirts Of cities.
Now the cities are in the same
class as the villages and towns, 49,
if the county boards see fit, any
amount of county money designated
by it can be spent on state trunk
highways within the cities.
The cities do not now get cent
Of state or county aid money, but
with the provision repealed, they
can get as much as the county board
will allow

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

The people of the Uuited States
are in the midst of a rising tide of
prosperity. And there are good
reasons why these conditions should
emphasize the necessity of individual
thrift.
Gigantic processes of readjust-
ments are taking place. In many
of the trades and industries wages
are increasing, simultaneously with
which there is a steady advance in
the cost of living.
Conditions such as these foster ex-
travagant practices on the part of
many while with many others whose
earnings have not increased, there
comes constantly narrowing
margin between income and neces-
sary expenditures.
Periods of initiation have invariab-
ly brought the hysteria of over
spending and speculation, through
which large number of people have
eventually lost the benefits of the
nations prosperity and the whole
business structure of the country
has been adversely affected.
Though America today is in the
midst of great prosperity, this is no
reason why people should feel that
they can in fairness to themselves
spend beyond their means.
During periods of increased pro-
fits, every well managed business
institution builds up its reserves and
fortifies itself in every possible way
against the lean periods of the
future The same practices should
apply with the individual.
If present conditions have brought
about a great increase in your per-
sonal income, take advantage of this
occasion to build up your resources.
Do not lose your head in speculation
or in wasteful and injurious personal
habits.
If, on the other hand, the con
slant rise of living costs is greater
than any increase you may be able to
obtain in your income it behooves
you all the more to eliminate every
possible item of expenditure which
represents waste. AS never before,
you must live within your means.
Our present period of prosperity
will be prolonged in proportion to
the extent with which the people of
the nation adhere to prudent habit
of living.

Last fall potatoes were worth a
song sung by those who grew the
spuds. Many farmers never dug
their crop Some did and were
sorry. Potatoes now are so cheap
that farmers generally are likely to
make the old mistake Of not planting
potatoes this spring because they are
cheap. If many of them follow this
natural inclination then with a norm
al crop there is bound to be a short
age and next year they will be high.
The naturals are what win in the

We recommend to our farmer

To remind sons and daughters of

Therefore, show your mother
some special kindness this day in
words Of affection and appreciation
by some gift Of love or visit to her,
or by letter if absent from her. If
she is not among the living, bless the

memory of your own. This is the
