May Ran Dye Exports - Proposed
shipments From Germany Not
To Interest Of England,
Lord Robert Cecil
Asserts.

London, May 24-Lord Robert Cecil,
Minister of War Trade, declared in the
House of Commons today that a pro-
posal was received to permit the ex-
portation from Germany to the Amer
lean Government Of dyestuffs, but
that no answer had yet been given.
The War Trade Minister denied re-
ports that licenses had been granted
for the export from Germany to the
United States of 100000 worth of
dyes. part of the shipment, which
might reach $SO,OOOOOO.
Lord Robert Cecil agreed with Sir
John Londsdale, Conservative, the
questioner, that the object of Ger
many's desire to export dyestuffs was
to keep up German exchange with
America. He added:
"Unquestionably it is not to our in
terest to allow that to take place, and
I will bear that consideration very
fully in mind when the reply is sent to
the American Government. II would
not be courteous to the United States
to give assurance to this House before
the reply to them is actually sent, but
assure Sir John Lonsdale what he
says and what is the general feeling
of the House will be borne in mind in
any reply we send"
Lord Robert said that in 1915 the
British Government was willing to al
low the expectation from Germany to
the United States of two cargoes of
dyestufrs, but that this offer had lap

In extending the education facilities for
immigrants, the Bureau of Education has
followed this policy: (1) to make nation
wide Investigation of immigrant education,
and to interpret the data thus obtained;
(2) to devise standards and methods; CD to
promote the organization and maintenance
of facilities; and a. to develop and shape
nation, state and city policies in the educa-
>tion of immigrants
The 10000 America First posters dis
tributec by the Bureau of Education during
the fall and winter of 1856, and setting
forth, in seven foreign languages the adj
vantage of attending night school and
learning the English language, have al
ready accomplished marvellous results; and
from all over the country inquiries are
coming in, and many classes have been es-
tablished
The Importance of this movement can
hardly be overestimated. AS the Greek poet
says: '"The land where thou art prosperous
is thy country" America is a creation of the
immigrant, but until he knows what Amer
lea stands for, he can never be the true citi-
zen on whose allegiance this country could
depend

State Press Comment
Buy at Home

The buy-at-home movement in
Montgomery, Ala, is attracting
wide attention and meeting with a
hearty endorsement from everyone.
The club women of Montgomery,
however, have done more than given
their hearty endorsement; they have
promised to set an example to each
other, and to others, by buying pro-
ducts at home instead Of sending to
foreign markets for them. This is as
it should be, and the Women's Club
of Barlow and Florida generally,
could not do their town better turn,
nor make a more progressive move
along the line of civic development,
than to give a hearty endorsement to
the buy-at-home campaign which is
now being carried on. In fact we
believe our good women are doing
that now as well as much other val
liable aid for the good of this COM
munity.-Bartow Infarmant.

Knott the Only Nominee

Some otherwise well informed per-
sons seem to be confused on the status
Of the nominee for governor. 1t has
been reportedtha t the democratic
committee placed the name of Cats
on the ticket with Knott. This is
absurd, but there are some who do
not know it, and it is well for those
who are informed to make the truth
known to those who don't know. The
state committee had nothing to do
with placing any mans name on the
ticket. The state canvassing board
certified the name of W. V. Knott to
the various county boards as the NOM
inee for governor of the democratic
party. 1t is understood that the name
of Cats was certified as the nominee
of the prohibition party. 1t is likely
that the county boards-or some OF
them-will refuse to put the name OF
Cats on the ticket. The prohibition
party as such has never had any rec
ognition in Florida, and the conven-
ton nominating Cats for governor
is alleged to have consisted chiefly OF
John p. Coffin and his wife and their
son. This alleged convention was
held behind closed doors, and nobody
has ever been able to find out any OF
the details. 1t was announced sub
sequent to the convention that Cotfln
the younger had been nominated Dy
the convention to run against Frank
| Clark, the democratic nominee Tor
congress in the second district, and
that F. w. Butler had been nominated
to run against r. Fenwick Taylor, the
regular nominee for supreme court
justice. Butler is young Jackson

he had sense enough to decline TO run
against Justice Taylor. He realizes
