"Close the door until we have aa- imulated the five million foreigners who are now In this country," Dr. Frank Fox in a vigorous thirty minute talk before sixty members of (he Lion club at its regular Friday luncheon at the St. Nicholas hotel to- lay.

Using as his text the phrase eent out by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, "We Are we cannot fight the gov- Dr. Fox said that he would change It to read, "We are we must support the government." FINE AMERICAN SPIRIT. Americana must live the American spirit and they must also see that the foreigner who comes here gets the right contact to make him an With whips of words the speaker attacked the men who had shot the returned soldiers in the state of Washington Tuesday and he said that those who dared to express approval of the acts should be sent back to the countries from which came. "And I would station at all foreign seaports men, Americans, who had served and who had worn the uniform by preference, who would see every man and woman who expected to emigrate to America aid call upon them to subscribe under oath to a pledge that they were coming to this country to become American citizens and to recognize American principles.

Any person who would refuse to give this pledge I would refuse admittance to this country. NO "ISTS" OR "ISMS." "We don't want any of their "Ists" or "Isms" here. We don't want them to tell us how to reform our American ideals. If they do not want to subscribe to these Ideals make them stay at home. If they are here and do not accept American principles, send them back to that nation to which they still owe allegiance." The members of the club gave the speaker vigorous applause several times during his spirited address.

President J. R. Paisley announced that Lynn Clark would act as chairman of the meeting and after the singing of one verse of "America" and the calling of the roll a number of visitors were Introduced. $75,000 INTEREST DUE ON BONDS Mnnr Second Liberty Lonn Been Sold. The Interest coupons on the Liberty bonds of the second great Liberty loan are due tomorrow, Nov.

IB, and the coupons should be presented to the banks for payment or deposited for credit. Tha rate of Interest IF four per cent per annum and these bonds may be exchanged next spring for other bonds bearing four and quarter per cent. This exchange may be made about March 15, but cannot be made at this time. The second Liberty loan was a very large one. about 3,700,000 being subscribed In Macon county.

If all were held here the amount of semi-annual Interest due here tomorrow would be nearly J75.000. It is known, however that many of this Issue have been sold by the buyers and doubtless have gone out of the county. One Decatur bank received $2,500 In coupons from one of Its country correspondents Thursday. This represents the Interest on In bonds. That there is a very large sum held In the county is certain that It Is over the 13,000,000 mark if very doubtful.

While there are 2,077 associations throughout the United States there are boys' work divisions In but 786 city, county, railroad and colored associations, and boys' work of some sort Is being done In about 1,500 associations.

Of this tr-Tiondnous number 4,840,000 are employed boys, ranging in age from 14 to 28 years. Other statistics show that there are some boyi of high school age.
