AUGMENTATION Starts
At Home, Says Ford
WHEN AMERICANS BECOME
AMERICAN ALIENS WILL
DO THE SAME

1t is rather a Christening experience
to read in foreign newspapers the re-
ports of looseness and corruption in
the United States. 1t is difficult to
know just how anything will appear,
until you see through the eyes of out
siders To detach oneself in mind from
this side of the world, and in mind
take up ones stand on the other side
of the world, is to catch something
very like gasp of fear that the Ameri
can Republic is showing signs of NOR
al decay.
Of course, it isn't that Dangerous
veins in our common life have cropped
UP on the surface in too close proxim-
ity to the Federal Government, that
much is true. And it may be that
since the cruder methods of bribery
and coercion are no longer practiced,
other more insidious ones have taken
their place; but nevertheless it is
true that most of the harm. done the
nation today is done honestly, and our
main troubles are not traceable so
much to criminality as to ignorance.
The impression is borne in more
strongly the more one observes the
events Of the times, that there is a
great need for the Americanization of
Americans. 1t was good and necessary
work to undertake the AmericaniZa-
ton of the alien-born and alien-minded
within our borders, to teach them our
common language and at least give
them the names of some of our COM
mon ideals. But the sad fact remains
that many of the qualities which we
were trying to Americanize the alien
born away from, were qualities which
they had picked under the impression
that they were American qualities!
Indeed so many un-American ten
denotes have come to power among us
that we have practically ceased in pub
lie speech to recite the glories of Free
America. 1t has been felt that the gulf
between what we say America is and
what it really is, is too wide to be
bridged by speech. In the old days
there was a great deal of oratory Of
the Fourth of July order. Mingled with
it was much inspirational counsel to
young people, that this was the land
of glorious opportunity which could
not fail to recognize and reward abili-
ty and industry and honesty in any
citizen. There were held before us the
great principles which are the rock
foundations Of the Republic, until in
every American breast the conscious
ness flowered that it was great privi-
lege Just to be at home in land so
nobly reared.
1t is worth remarking here that it
was during that period that the best
of our immigration came-people from
all parts of the world who came to
the shrine of Liberty, for the sake Of
Liberty, and not merely to an easy"
country where material concerns COM
prised the total benefit. What we were
then, or what we dreamed then, at
tracted the like-minded of all lands.
But of those old ideals we hear very
little now. Not many weeks ago a
young Southerner arose in Congress
and made a speech in which he exult-
ed in all that America was meant to
be and was destined to be, materially
and spiritually. Down South they still
know what America means. But the
photographers poked fun at the speech

Fishermen to Test
Validity of Law

Madison, Wis.-Test of the validity
of the law passed by the last legisla-
ture extending the closed season for
fishing certain fish in Wisconsin lakes
is being planned, Madison sportsmen
have informed the state conservation
commission.
Petitions containing more than 1000
names asking for setting aside the
law and addressed to Governor Blaine,
have been filed with the conservation
commission. Conservation commission
ers have informed those circulating
the petitions that it will be impos-
sible, for the commission to set aside
the act except through court proceed
ings or action by the governor.
Attorney General Ekern is now pre-
pairing an opinion on legality of the
act closing the fishing season on Lake
Winnebago and is expected to have
his ruling within few days. If ways
are found to set aside the Lake Win
nebago law, it is said similar action
may be attempted regarding the gem
eral fishing law.

RipOn Celebrates
Founding of Party
Republican Party Was Found at Ripon
In 1854--JoyOus Over SEVENTEEN
Anniversary OF Event.

Ripon.-Ripon is today celebrating
the SEVENTEEN anniversary of the
birth of the Republican party in the
little frame building now on the Ripon
college campus which, as district
school house number two was the
meeting place on March 20, 1854, Of
the fifty-four men destined to go down
in history as the founders of a new
party to fight the extension of slavery.
Major Alvan E. Bovay, Wisconsin
pioneer and friend of Horace Greeley,
felt the time for action had come
when the Kansas Nebraska Bill" was
introduced into Congress, and rallied
men Of all political faiths, Wings,
Free-Soilers, Democrats, to the new
platform. The name Republican" be-
came official at state convention hsld
in jackson, Mich, July 6, of the same
year.
Truman Parmelee, one of the two
known survivors Of this momentous
meeting, died in Ripon on March 4,
at the age of SO. be had been resi-
dence of Ripon since 1853.
The schoolhouse was bought by
public spirited citizens Of Ripon about
1908 and placed on the college campus
as memorial. Ripon college, now
seeking an endowment fund of $780,
900 is in it's 73rd year and is closely
identified with the pioneer history of
Fond du Lac county, in which it is
located.

New Telephones
Signal Automatically

Tokio.-Tokio soon will install auto
matte telephones in a number of its
90 local exchanges.
Taking advantage of the destruction
of four-ffths Of the city's exchanges
in last September's disaster, the tele-
phone bureau has arranged to sup
plant the old manual system tele-
phones with automatic instruments.
The change is expected to be of great
assistance to foreigners, who will be
able to call desired numbers by rotat-
ing a figured dial instead of attempt
ing to make an operator understand
badly pronounced Japanese numerals.
Six of the new automatic Offices are
under construction now and are ex-
pected to be completed by September;
the others, it is hoped, will be ready
for use by the first of the next year.
Tokio's telephones have been reduc-
ed in number form 10000 before the
earthquake to a bare $4,000.

Higher prices at home and abroad
characterized the 1928 import and
export trade of the United States.
While the advance is less striking
than in many earlier years IT IS
still true that the monthly average
prices in considerably more than
one-half of the representative
articles entering and leaving the
country were higher in December
1923 than in the corresponding
month of 1922. A compilation tor
The Trade Record of The National
CITY Bank of New York shows that
about $3.50 of the principal articles
imported in 1923 showed higher
prices in December of that year
than in the corresponding month OF
1922, and that $3.50 of the principal
exports also showed higher prices
in December 1928 than in the same
month of the preceding year.
This statement is based upon the
average import price named by the
Department Of Commerce in the list
jof ~ articles for which it gives the
monthly average export price. and
l6l articles named in its list OF i'm
port prices. While the advances
are as a rule less striking THAN on
forr1er occasions, the fact remains
that the proportion of the articles
thus enumerated which show higher
prices is considerably greater than
those showing decline. Of the 81
articles included in the above named
list, IS show higher prices in De-

Growing
Important Industry

Madison, Wis.-Strawberry growing
is the most important small fruit in
dustry in Wisconsin, according to a
bulletin prepared by James G. Moore
of the University of Wisconsin, re-
leased today. Greater growth OF the
crop was urged by Prof. Moore.
"The reasons for the strawberry's
popularity are ease Of culture, earli-
ness, short periods between planting
and fruiting, comparative freedom
from pests, adaptibility to varying
conditions and great popularity of the
fruit ITSELF" Prof. Moore declares.
ait is grown for home use in all
parts of the state. Commercially, it is
largely confined to areas reasonably
near large markets, but in few Sec
tions, it is produced strictly for whole
sale markets"
To succeed with strawberries, the
following rules are set forth by Mr..
Moore: Select site for plantation
with care; prepare the soil thoroughly;
keep the soil fertile; plant adapted
varieties; use only good plants; set
plants properly; keep the soil thor
oughly titled; protect plants and fruit
by using mulch; place only good
fruit on the market; make the pack
age attractive.
Rules for picking and handling also
are set forth in the bulletin. They
include: Berries must be picked while
there is moisture on plants; filled
carriers not left in the sun; berries
picked with stem quarter of an inch
long; no culls in boxes; use clean
crates.

and thus represent the average
value in the group OF countries
from which brought. India rubber.
for example. reaches us from more
than a dozen countries, and the
average value per pound obtained
by dividing total number of pounds
imported into the total number of
dollars value represents the world
average price in the countrie~
whence exported to the United
States, and the fact that the aver
age import price of rubber in De-
cember 1923 was 25.5 cents per
pound against only Isl cents per
pound in December 1922 shows
clearly a world advance in price,
chiefly in the countries in which il
was produced. In hides, coming
from all parts of the world, all
classes except those of cattle show
higher prices in December 1923
than in the same month of 1922.
In all grades of wool the prices of
1923 exceed those of 1922, and this
as true also of silk, cotton, hemp,
sisal. lumber, tin, bar iron and crude
petroleum.
On the export side lo enumerated
articles of foodstuffs show higher
prices and IS show a reduction,
while 20 enumerated articles OF
manufacture show higher prices,
and IS reduction. Fresh and
picked beef show advances when
compared with December 1922
while pork in the various forrms
shows a reduction. Of the grains,
corn, barley, and rice show highe,
prices, while wheat and rye show
declines. Fruits exported show I'm
most cases decline, butter, cheese
and vegetables an advance. Cotton
and practically all of the manu'
factufcs of cotton show advances
so do all grades of leather; mems
boots and shoes; silk manufactures
wool clothes; lumber: cement; tiA
plate; steel rails; iron and steel
billets; and manufactures of tobac'
CO; while petroleum in all forms
whether crude or as illuminating
oil. lubricating oil, gasoline and
naptha, shows a reduction.
