ALIENS OUIT COUNTRY Are Leaving for Europe at Rate * of 1,000 a Day. Custom Officials Fear Exodus Will Re. sult in Great Labor’ Shortage. New York.—Enriched by war work, allens are leaving this country at the sate of more than 1,000 a day, it was tearned here from custom officials, who expressed fear that, with-the possibil- 1ty that congress may limit immigra- tion for the next four years, the United States will face a serious labor short: age, instead of a condition of unem- ployment. Since the signing of the armistice, ft was scaid, Itallans, Greeks, Span- fards and Portuguese have been pour- ing out of the United Staes through this port.i Stnce November 76,221 pass- ports have been vised at the custom house, and since December, 33,000 , sllens have salled. Every ship clear- ing for Mediterranean ports has sailed with a full steerage, so that rates have Jjumped from $40 to $80. Custom officlals estimate that an enormous sum has been taken out of the country since the exodus began. Bach allen, it s said, carries with him &~m $1,000 to $7,000 to enable him to Hve In his native 1and In greater gggq than he ever enjoyed - “Te. Since April 2, when all outgolng passengers were forced to pay their income taxes before leaving, more than $88,000 has ‘been collected. Byron R. Newton, collector of the port, who has been asked by members of the United States senate and house immigration committee to reduce the exodus to statistics, said today more than 90 per cent of the sllens are Itallans, and that “something ought to be done to check the outflow.” SPOIL 0. HENRY'S SKETCHES Texas Workmen Tear Down Bullde ing Where the Author Was Employed. Austin, Tex.—Sketches on the walls of the old land office bullding on the capitol grounds, drawn by O. Henry the ‘author, while he was a clerk in the statehouse here, are being destroy- ed. Workmen are tearing down theé bullding. 0. Henry, In his adolescence, pub- lished a little weekly, The Rolling Stone, worked In the land office as a clerk, and worked prodigiously on the stories that later were to entertaln an army of readers. His real name was Sidney Porter, and he was then unknown to fame. No one seems to remember whether he was a good clerk, and those who have seen the sketches say that as an artist he was a good story teller, ' Mosquito Fleet. Among naval nen the mosquito fleet fs known as “the second line of de- fense.” * It is used In protecting the fortifications and harbors along the coast line, and, like the insect from which it is named, annoys the enemy In every way, ut the snme time preventing the possibility of a blockade. In the war against Germany the British navy was augmented by several thousands of small and sometimes very speedy ,vessels, und to (his mosquito fleet, manned chiefly by naval reserve men and fishermen, the admiralty paid tribute for its patient and laborious work in laying and sweeping up mines, chasing submarines and patrolling the bome waters. . | M.

E. F., and accordifigly they having finished six months of good hard work, these boches concluded that they were eligible to wear a gold service chevron. They blossomed forth one day with a bright gold chevron glittering on the lower part of the left sleeve, It was wholly out of harmony with their gen- eral appearance, according to the sharp vision of the military pollce who had charge of their surveillance, - The “M. P.” could not understand this hybrid embellishment, coupled with the large letters “P. W.,” signi- fying “prisoner of war,” on thelr backs., Fulfilling his duty, he inquired the purpose of this unauthorized dazzle on the left sleeve. The boche explained his affillation in the Ameri, can army, but that did not satisfy the “M. P,” Off came the cheyrons with one strong rip.

But is shat not just what you are doing by putting. off that painting job any longer. A few years ago you said you would wait another year, and instead of waiting one year you have waited three and still no paint. Do you realize what a loss you are taking daily by not putting on a good protecting coat of paint? Minnesota Linseed Oil Paint Co.’s paint is a pure Linseed Oil, White Lead and Zinc paint. No, the zinc i not put in to cheapen the paint, because zinc is worth a good deal more per pound than white lead, but for a paint that will stand this climate you need a zood percentage of zinc to give it the wearing quality- 10 be found in Minnesota paint. - ; * Let us figure up what it will cost you to paint you: property or else figure it up yourself, and then come in and we will deliver the paint, Minnesota Paint will cover 400 square feet to the gallon, and with a little oil for the first coat will cover it two coats.

We did not need to say cream separator . because every one knows a DeLaval anyway. Why .is that? - The name of a good ar- ticle is generally very well known and the DeLaval is the best known machine (among the farmers in America today) of any other machine of any kind in use for any purpose around a farm. The DeLaval is used in 98 per cent of the creameries of the Unit- gtg ?}:ates today. This Speaks for itself. flllllllllIIIllllllllml'lllllllllllh T e T T TR T T illII|IIIllllllIl"lllIIl]"lllmiillI|lI]IIIIIIIIll||Il“mlmlllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllll To do your best you must have the best. Make the women’s work on the farm easier by getting her a DeLaval. The least the men folks can do - in appreciation of her help on the farm is to make her added tasks as easy as possible. There is no excuse for asking her to bear the drudgery of skimming by the old fashioned “gravity method,” with all its waste of time and cream ,and washing and slopping with a lot of pans, when a Delaval Cream Separator, that would soon pay for itself, would save her all that work. Nor is there any more excuse for asking her to struggle with a half-worn-out or inferior, hard to turn, hard to wash, cream wasting separator when she could -, do the work so much quicker and easier and better with a DeLaval. Give a woman her choice of cream separatars and she’ll take the DeLaval every time. Its easy to turn and easy to wash. Its a good-looking machine, and just as good as it looks. Its the machine her neighbors all recommend. Make no Mistake. Whoever skims the milk—you or your wife or someone else—it can be done easier, more quickly, more cheaply, and better with a DeLaval. .
