NOT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

It's not often that a newspaper will com
ment editorially on an advertisement; but
the display of the National Bank of Com
merce on this page is more than an adver-
tisement: it reflects the spirit of what is
now recognized as PenSacola's new era
the era of development and beginning of
greater prosperity.
While cattle ranches are building in he
country, the urge of industrialism has en-
tered into Pensacola as we'll The Newport
Turpentine factory and the Navy Yard will
put on their augmented pay rolls at about
the same time: a dock is to be built, and our
people are awake to the necessity of encour-
aging factories of all kinds. The end of the
war will see an undreamed demand for our
raw products-cotton and lumber and naval
stores. Our future is almost here!

Profitable Pointers


We note that a big delegation of
farmers went up from Pensacola to
Kentucky to study farming methods
in vogue in the Bluegrass State, par
ticularly as regards live stock,
silos, etc. Every section of the coun-
try can learn from other sections
Florida farmers can secure some
profitable pointers by a study Of farm
ers of Kentucky and latter state could
adopt with much advantage some of
ideas they could CLEAN from a visit
to Florida. Particularly could Ken
tuckians profit by observing the in
tensive plan of farming as pursued
in Florida and they could also learn
something of the value of fertilizer,
Kentucky farmers spread both their
efforts and their fertilizer over too
great an era. with consequent great
waste of b9tsas -LaAasIazd Telegram.

Congress, was made public today by
DIR. Scott, President OF the Institute.
Although the Declaration lacks the
FORMAL ratification of the twenty-one
American republics and therefore IS
mot an official document, its trainers
believe it correctly sets forth the
OFFICIAL views OF all the American
commonwealths. Before the Institute
was called upon to consider 1t, the
declaration was submitted to and APP
proved by the chief authorities on In

can republics, including Ambassador.
