Uefore the war we thought nil we
had to do 'to "melt" all people was
to pour them into the "melting pot"
and they would be taken care of just ,
"ike iron ingots which ore dumped
into the cupola. We rather expect-
'od them to come out refined from

body else that they would be Ameri
cans. ,
Hut it has been shpwn up that
they do not mix as we thought. We
have not given the matter much
thought as u nntlon. Hut we have
got to the stage of rubbing our eves,
and may be later we will get them
clean open. We see the foreigner
coining into this country and settling
in groups. In Lincoln for instanc;
there is, a Russian settlement, they
come in from the beet fields for the
winter. In the summer there is
the same Russian bettlement in the
beet regions in tho western part of
the state. At Wither there is n
strong Bohemian settlement, and they
have vowed they would make nnothcr
Prague, and they have made some
success of it. There are n lot of
German settlements, and there arc
others In the state. At Topcka.
Kans., thcro is n Mexican center,
and so the enumeration might be
multiplied. And wo find in these
places the language, and the customs
of tho foreigners are held tightly,
and it has even been that there
would have to lie foreign language
schools for the accomodation of those
argest
ftty
the
the

This has been settled for Nchrnski.

Reports from the different counties
of the state to the Headquarters ad
vise that fine progress has been made.
Pledges nro rapidly being secured
through the local societies, but to put
Nebraska again the first state of the
Union wc must all pledge ourselves to
purchase the same number of stnmps
for each month of 1919 ns we did for
1S18. Our slogan Ms, "Don't Quit.
Finish It."
Mr. Charles T. Kountze, State Di
rector, says that he feels sure the
Nebraska people realize that our Gov
ernment must be supported with the
necessnry funds to see that our sol
diers continue to receive the same
care and comfort that they had Inst
year and that they receive It until ev
ery lnsman is homo nnd returned to
civil life. He says, "Our Slogan this
.year is, "Don't Quit Finish It.' " In
order to make that true every man,
woman nnd child must do their full
share In this campaign. Remember
that our soldiers did a glorious thing
by winning the war as they did. They
saved us lives and money instead of
two million more men going orcr,
two million are coming home. Mr.
Kountze says, "It cost us a lot to get
them over, but It Is worth much more
to have them back. Buy War Savings
Stamps and see thnt they get back."
Tho Treasury Department has re
quested that the societies remain In
tact. Assistant Secretary Franklin
states thnt there Is very Important
work for them to do, especially at the
present time, In raising the necessary
funds which tho Government 'now
needs. Plans are also well under way

quarters In which the societies will
have an Important part in community
service. These plans when fully de
veloped will mnko the societies the
