It does, nevertheless, for the cheaper a farming, the cheaper the farm produce, and the lower the cost of living for everybody. And it is going to mean a good deal more to your children, The value of farm land will increase in the future as it has in the past, it is going to be harder for your children to buy it or rent it—unless the law makers of this generation are wise enough to pass remedial legislation.

Night classes for immigrants have been formed in many public schools. Books about our system of government have been printed in foreign lan- guages for the benefit of future citizens. Courses of study for adult residents of foreign birth, questions and answers to aid applicants for naturalization, and other similar efforts to control, regulate, assimiiate and eliminate the hyphen have been forwarded by Uncle Sam himself. And hundreds of loyal citizens have lent their aid. But their united efforts, carried on for months, a fraction of what the two nominees for the presidency night. Everybody has read, by this time, of Hughes’ stand on “undiluted Americanism” and what Wilson says about “alien sympathizers who are try- ing to levy a species of political blackmail.” So far, both the democratic and republican candidates appear to flee from any vote which does not represent a single standard of loyalty to the United States. Altho they stand for the radically opposite views of opposing political parties, Wilson and Hughes are evidently united in the deepest understand- ing of the spirit of Americanism. And all those who pretend that a DOU- BLE LOYALTY does not mean a DIVIDED LOYALTY have been forced to do a little clear thinking. Hughes and Wilson have both been teachers in their time but they have never done such necessary and effective work as in their present expression of the first principles of true Americanism. United States is estimated at $45.55 an acre, years $38.10 three years ago, and value of farm lands in 1010 280,000,000 acres of public lands exclusive is suitable for agriculture have only h accomplished $3,000, done now before the over is designed to remedy. of taxes to the state. actually used and occupied and You do not see how the Crosser bill can the land, the lower the cost of Friends Coming Forward PEAKING of international kindness, our beloved Pan-American friend, Argentina, is furnishing Carranza with machine guns and Great Britain turns over to Uncle Sam 250 Lewis guns just completed by an American firm.
