MORE AMERICAN IZATION NEEDED From the following carefully com piled statistics we come to the conclu sion that there is plenty of work ahead for those engaged in Americanizing America. There are in this country 11,404 for-' sign language newspapers, with a com-, binod circulation of almost eleven mil-, lion. Almost one-third of tlie entire pop- ( ulatiop of America is either foreign- j bom or the children of foreign-born parents. America has more Norwegians than Christiana; more Swedes than Stock holm ; more Germans than Bremen, Hamburg and Leipsic; more Czechs than Prague; more Poles than Warsaw and almist as many Mexicans as Mex ico City. Take the state of New York alone. That mighty melting pot contains 26,- 000 native Greeks, 27,000 native Nor wegians, 32,000 native French, 38,000 '•native Czechs, 40,000 native Rouman ians, 53,600 native Swedes, 80,000 na tive Hungarians, 150,000 native Aus trians, 250,(MX) native Poles, 30,000. na tive Germans, 520,000 native Russians and 550,000 more Italians. There are single newsstands in New York City where one can buy newspa pers printed in twenty different lan guages. As we have been generous in admit ting alien immigrants, so should we I*o careful in seeing that these new grafts do not produce freak and sport growths to the derimen of the old ‘original stock. Wherever this can be effected by cul tivation. we are; all to the good wherever it can’t we must be unsparing with the pruning shears. And it seems to us that big New Y'ork limb needs special attention. — i Los Angeles Times. Clyde Ridgeway Dead.

At the earnest solicitation of a Chris tian business man not of my ehureh, I am making a Christmas suggestion to tiie jieople of Winder ns to the Pen ny-A-Week PJan. Some weeks ago the First Baptist church inaugurated this plan which is as follows: Everybody is provided \ with a Christmas stocking inadp of in- j expensive material, and for each Sail-, liatli of the year is asked to put one penny into the bag, aggregating 52 j pennies (53 for the year beginning next Sunday) 100 people would thus raise $58.00; 200, sltKi.lH); 300, $159.00; 4<NI, $212.(X) and so on. Winder can raise $7.50 to SI(XX).(X) easily this year for the Associated Charities to use next Christinas, if each Bible school will use the plan and pros ecute it. The First Baptist Bible school raised S7O.(X) in just a few weeks and expects to raise at least S2OO by next Christinas, merely on the Penny n-week plan. The* best feature in it all is the line discipline in systematic giving for ev erybody. I most respectfully suggest that Winder Bible school? begin the plan at once. Once the habit is formed, it comes easy ami natural. BAPTIST BUSINESS: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. First Baptist Members: The Every Member Canvass is to be concluded Sunday, next, beginning at 2 o’clock.
