 Rush in Progress
 A rush for citizenship papers has been in almost constant progress since some time ago it was an- nounced that local major factories would cut down employment of aliens, and would employ none but full fledged citizens on orders from the United States government. The latter declaration followed instruc- tions from Washington.
 As a consequence of the large number of applications for citizen- ship received since that time, there will be large classes for admission to citizenship here for the next sev. eral years.

the war-worn British divisions. As fast as our boys got to France, they could be put to work.
 The best mark on Pershing's record IS the fact that he said "No" to this little scheme, and said it often. The British high command had spent two mortal years putting its head into stone wall. At the very moment when it was asking PerShing to turn his American boys over to it's tender mercieS, it was wasting 4OO,- 900 lives in the mud-mired PaSSchendaele offensive a strategic gem for which British historians are still criticizing the high command in the bitterest terms.
 Lloyd George himself did not quite trust the British high command. He held British troops in England in such num- bers that Earl Haig'S partisans blame him for the German break through of March,
 1918; held them there because he was sick of seeing the flower of the British army wasted in vain, uninSpired attacks that were foredoomed to failure. And yet Lloyd George now can criticize PerShing for feeling precisely the same way!
 We owe this lantern jawed general of ours great debt of gratitude He stood like rock against unbelievable pressure. boys had to fight on foreign battlefield, He held out for the idea that if American they would at least go in under American direction, fighting for American objec- tiveS. If he is to be criticized, it has got to be for some reason other than that.

Exterminating Game

Western sportsmen and livestock growers are organizing against the "muckleheads" who roam around with guns in the hunting season shooting everything they see. They are equally in- dignant at the killing of does and of their own livestock. A group meeting in Salt Lake City the other day decided to get busy, and like-minded citizens are com bining in other states to put over an educational conservation program for game preservation.
 "We're going to drive em out of the woods and keep lem out untl they learn to hunt-these indoor sportsmen from the cities who shoot anything on sight" says a member of the Utah Fish and Game Board. They're our greatest hunting menace. They come out of the cities with high-powered guns, booze and plenty of bullets, and they blaze away at the first deer they see, regardless of it's sex or age Hundreds of does, illegally killed, are left to rot in the fields"
 The same considerations apply to many other kinds of game in nearly all sections of the country.

Among the early fall publications is noted among children's books, "Five Little Peppers and How They Grew" Not the same old Pepper family, you might ask Yes, the same little Peppers are holding their own, despite changing trends in juvenile literature. There are a few of the goo6 i'd book series that you cannot lose, ,. as the Louisa May Olcott books a others. The publishers say the present generation of readers enjoy the Pepper books as much as the children of the 1890's and 1900's.

PRESENT c. O. P. CAMPAIGN REMINDS WRITER OF CHAM
 PION LIAR STORIES

Thomaston, Conn, Oct. 6, 1886. Editor of The Democrat:
 In the Watt, 5llry American, Mon- day, Oct. 5, was a short story about 8 MT. Meyer of Illinois, who bagged seven birds with one shot, which put him in the class of the cham pion liar of the state.
 This brought to mind story that I heard about fifty years ago, 1t ran something like this:
 This man told me that he had a large family and they had become destitute, having nothing in the house to eat.
 So this morning he took his old gun and started out to get some thing to eat. He lived about mile from the Mississippi river and as he approached the bank, a large flock of partridge flew up and start ed straight for the other bank. He just stepped back about three rods and started to run, and gave @ big jump, just as he was to land on the other side there was 8 big rattle snake all coiled ready to jump. He whirled right around and came back Just a little ways farther down the river there was tree with a large dead limb hanging out over the river. On it sat 8 large flock oi pigeons. Now how to get them all was problem for a moment, but ramming a bullet down into the gun and steady hand solved the problem. He split the limb ano caught everyone of them by theii toes. Now just as he was ringing the last ones neck, the limb broke, and down he went into the river, the f1st were so thick that they filled his pockets and pants legs so full that as he was climbing out suspendel button flew of and killed a rabbit that sat on a stone one hundred feet away. Then he went home.
 Now am not writing this to at- tain any notoriety as a champion liar, for although this one may seem 8 whopper, I feel that I have already been outdone, by some oi the opposing party that are cam paigning against our present form of administration.
 Yours truly,
 A. L. DALEY, Thomaston, Conn.
