That such instances may not be frequently met it is incumbent upon the authorities that any violation of the safety of this country by Germans resident here should be punished to the full extent of the law. We must make it understood by people who do not, perhaps, understand the exceptional nature of the American government, that the kindness extended to the German who will be registered in February is really kindness, not a failure to realize the possibilities nor a disposition to permit license to the Germans in this country to engage in activities prejudicial to the safety of American lives or property or hurtful to the success of American arms against Germany. The safe and the sane step for this government to take would be the internment in restricted areas of all Germans who have not shown the intention of accepting American citizenship by taking out their first papers. Jf the government is willing to give to such as have failed so to register their intention the benefit of the doubt as to their loyalty to this A "Tag Your Shovel Day" has been | country, it is necessary that such close watch be kept as will prevent any imposition upon our good nature and manners. + * % ♦ ♦ Resolutions of condolence, card of thanks, obituary poetry, notices of en- tertainments or other affairs where an admittance charge wtll be made or a collection taken, will be charged for at regular advertising rates.__________ Kiiieruu in the poBtotlice at Wllmette, Illinois, as mall matter of the second clans, under the act of March 3, 1879. THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1918 "Tag Your Shovel Day." set, a day upon which the attention of the public is to be brought to the need of exercising all possible econ- omy in the use of coal, that there may be enough to supply the needs of the government and of the homes of the country, It may be necessary in a few in- stances to furnish this reminder that the supply of coal is not sufficient for the full demand. In most cases, however, there is sufficient evidence of the need to economize in the scant stock which ,may .be kept on hand and the difficulty which attends the getting of a fresh supply. Every day should be and, in most house- holds, is an occasion for remembering jt^e state of the coal market and supply and for using the- shovel with restraint and care. ***** Registering German*. The week of February 4,has been set aside for the registering of un- Yraturalized German residents in the "United States, as a means of dis- covering where there are citizens of Germany, what their occupation, what their purpose in the United States. In the instructions to the registrars has been included an item urging courtesy and consideration of those who come before them on the ground that they may be friendly and in- clined to no evil purpose in this country. The information thus gained is to be used simply as a means of checking up on activities of hostile Germans and is in no wise intended as a punishment of the German resi- dent in the United States. The restraint which the govern- ment is exercising in this registration is a consistent part of the hi,gh minded attitude of this country to- wards those, men who have sought our shores as a refuge from the op- pression and hardship of their homes across the waters. It is to be hoped that the recipients of the kindness will repay, in kind, rather than by taking advairtage of what appears to l>e laxness of surveillance and.,cau- tfou to participate in activities detri- mental to the country in vyhich they LEGAL NOTICE Notice of proceedings for the opening and extending of West Rail- road Avenue from the north line of Elmwood Avenue to the East line of Fifteenth Street in the Village of Wiliiiette, Cook County, Illinois.

WHEN you've lost your job and misfortunes rob your face of its wonted grin, when the money goes for your grub and clothes, though there's nothing coming in ; when the fates are rough and they kick and cuff and give you a frequent spank, how sweet to think of the bunch of chink you have in the village bank! WHEN you're gray and old and your feet are cold and the night is drawing on; when you're tired and weak and your joints all creak, and the strength of youth is gone; when you watch and wait at the sunset gate for the boatman grim and lank, your consolers then are the iron men you have in the village bank! "THE IRON MEN IN THE VILLAGE BANK" so homely and beautifully treated by Walt Mason, will win the war. To build ships and aeroplanes, to buy arms and munitions, to equip and maintain an army requires "iron men" by the billions. IN this bank the savings depositors are recruiting an army of "iron men."
