Boards of Education
And Preparedness.

The ebb and flow of the alien tide makes
"Americanization" one of the difficult
preparedness" problems.
Our foreign population drifts from city
to city, according. to changes in economic
advantages. And although universities,
charities, patriotic societies, civic clubs and
political rings all have plans for speeding
tip he4making of new citizens, the immi-
grant himself, IN his wanderings from town
to town, somehow manages to miss half his
chances.
Therefore it is essential that state and
federal agencies cooperate for the educa-
ton of aliens along Lines directed to their
rapid assimilation. The government has
already recognized this necessity. Within
the past few months the Bureau of Nat
uralization of the United States Depart
ment of Labor has taken pronounced in
terest in the melting pot. It is now pro-
ceeding in the most direct, the most eco
nomical and the most effect way, that is
through the public school system.
But the government does not control the
public school system. It can only suggest
improvements And there is nothing which
start1es. and confuses the average board
of educationquite SO much asa brand new
idea. Moreover any scheme which adds to
the expense of school administration is
liable to stall Immediately
Many community which could, and
which should provide special education in
citizenship for foreign born adults, as we'll
as for their children does nothing at all,
simply because its board of education is
accustomed to shy at any idea which is I'M
familiar.
In the spring most school boards outline
| the work of the schools for the following
year. Now is the time for all communities
which are keen to keep the present pace
Of patriotism and preparedness to do some
thing out of the ordinary for their immi-
grant residents.
No community can shirk its duty on the
plea of ignorance. Uncle Sans Bureau OF
Naturalization has planned a complete
course in citizenship for the use of schools
and it provides additional information
every month for the use of school super
| intendents
Boards of education which fail to pro
vide for "Americanization" are dangerous
to the community they pretend to serve
Where such exist, enlightened voters
should make plain to them the way of
their duty.

The nearer the date of the primary,
the better seem the chances of Will
Knott to be nominated for governor
of Florida. Each candidate says
Cats will be second in the race. Cats
says he will be first and Knott sec
ond. We venture a guess that Cats
will be high man on first choice votes,
with Knott second, and that Knott
will be nominated by a good majority
on the complete count of both first
and second choice votes.
But what we started out to say is
that Will Knott is winning out by
his exhibition Of ''horse sense" Be
cause he is regarded as the strong
est factor in the race, attacks have
been made upon him from every di-
rection. He has been accused of
fondling bottle of beer, making
railroads present of tax money, and
of failing to apply national bank laws
to state banks. The first was so ludi-
crous 1t became a boomerang. The
last named merely showed the ignor-
ance of those who suggested it. To
the second he has issued reply so
calm, so complete and so common
sense. in its terms, and so frank in
presenting the real figures, that it,
too, has been made a boomerang.
These people have made bad mis-
take. They have tried to attack the
integrity of one whose acts are SO. IN
qualifiedly honest that everyone
knows it. Will Knott doesn't get on
the platform and rant to ''the common
people" He's one of the common peo-
pie himself. Professional politicians
are of different clay. If Will Knott
is in public office all his life, he'll
never become a professional politi-
clan. He'll always be one who can
make up his mind upon an action by
applying the question of what is the
square thing to do. Folks like that
don't need legal advice to keep within
the law.

The Governor
And Prohibition

Statewide prohibition is not and cannot
be an issue in the gubernatorial campaign.
The governor of Florida has no more to
do with the question of prohibition than
the humblest private citizen Statewide
prohibition can only come through the sub
mission to the people by the legislature, of
an amendment to the state constitution
and by the adoption of this amendment by
the vote of the whole people -
The governor of Florida neither approves
nor can he veto constitutional amend
ment. He has no duty to do in the sub
mission of an amendment to- the people.
This.is the duty of the legislature.
Hon. A. w. Gilchrist, known local
optiorist, was elected governor and the
first legislature after his Inauguration sub
mitted a statewide prohibition amend
ment. The people of Florida rejected it
Governor Trammell is known statewide
and nationwide prohibitionist. Two SEES
sions of the legislature have been held
since he has been governor, and, notwith-
standing the greatest efforts of the pro
Inhibition forces, both of the legislatures
have refused to submit to the people pro
Ilhibition amendment These examples show
that statewide prohibition is not and can
not be made an issue in a gubernatoria
campaign 80.
The issues in the race for governor are
good government, honesty and efficiency
economy and progress Prohibition is witt
the men to be elected to the legislature.

Children's Candy Matinee; Francis
X. Bushman, Isis Today.

The great Francis X. Bushman and
his delightful and charming co-star,
Beverly: Bayne, will next be seen at
this theater today; in a. thrilling ro-
nance of army life from. the pen of
Ralph d. Paine. 1t is not too much
to say that Mr.. Bushman, despite his
numberless successes on the screen, in
his mastery delineation of the sturdy
and resolute character of Sergeant
Kendall, the enlisted man, who dares
and suffers much for the sake of
principle, as well as for the girl Of
his hearts. desire, has achieved one
of the most notable artistic triumphs
of his career. Miss Bayne, as always,
is supreme in her portrayal of the
gentle, lovable maiden, who is the
inspiration as well as the admiration
of all those around her. Admirers of
both stars will find "The Wall Be
tween" all that appealed to them in
."Man and His Soul" and other Metro
pictures in which Mr.. Bushman and
Miss Bayne have had the, stellar parts
and very, very much more. Every
child attending the matinee will re-
ceive a sack of candy.

TWELVE YEARS
OF FAILING HEALTH
Brought to Happy End. Says the
People in Three Counties Know
What Cardui Did For Her.

Weaverville, n. C.-Mrs. Abbagail
Hampton, of this place, says that !,
about II years ago she began to take
Cardui after having been in failing
health for II years, during which
time she had to take to her bed FOUR
days out of each month, and suffered
agony; that the doctors told her she
must have female trouble and gave
her medicine which did her no good
and finally insisted on her going to
the hospital for treatment.
She goes on to say: 81 am large
woman, and my ordinary weight,
about 100 pounds, went down to 135.
l got so bad ! just dragged around
and could scarcely sit up. My
neighbors all thought I was going TO
die and would say couldn't live long.
My little daughter thought the
same.
Ny husband and friends urged me
to try Cardui, and he bought me some
of it. I began feeling better as soon
as I began taking it, and I steadily
improved until was well and strong.
I make my garden, do my own house
work and have cooked for 20 board
ers at one time. Am a strong,
healthy woman, permanently cured
by Cardui. Ny husband and / can't
say enough for Cardui.. The
people in three counties know what
this medicine has done for me, for
neither | nor my husband ever cease
praising it."
Cardui is for sale at all druggists
with full directions for use. Try it.

.eThe Birth of a Nation"

'The Birth of a Nation" d. w.
Grifith's massive spectacle, coming
to the Opera House, June 1910, is
the largest and most important pro-
duction of decade, yet not a word is
spoken throughout the performance Of
nearly three hours. Music supplies
the absence of speech, mechanical eff
fects and realism, whilst the wizard
of the screen, David w. Griffith, I'M
folds in $4,000 feet of film the thrill
ing romance of the war between the
states and the reconstruction of the
southland. Some idea of its magni-
tude may be had from the fact that
$4,000 actors and 5000 horses took
part and that the staging of this
great "outdoor" drama cost half a
million dollars.
Several of the actors of southern
lineage. Henry Walthall, who plays
the heroic role of the little Confed-
crate colonel, is a member Of the we'll
known Walthall family of Alabama.
Miriam Cooper, who appears as
Margaret Cameron, is a direct de-
scendant of Charles Carroll, the
Maryland singer of the Declaration of
Independence. Mr.. Griffith is the son
of brigadier general of the Confed.
crate army.
For every character, however
small, Mr.. Griffith has found just the
personality needed. After that his
mastery direction made each one
give a perfect Characterization of the
widely varying roles. The result was
not acting, but life itself. Such real
| ism is never seen on the old-fashioned
stage. The limitations of the theater
were swept away for nature was Mr..
/ Griffith's stage. Panorama after
panorama is revealed to the aston
ished eyes Of the spectator The most
inventive Imagination could hardly
picture to itself such scenes Of splen-
ldor.

Cattle Truth in Florida
Stranger Than Fiction

Like fairy tale would read the truth
about Florida's possibilities For that rea-
son no newspaper would dare describe act
ual possibilities.
Several weeks ago, The Journal quoted
the experience of a Tennessee man, who
from a five-dollar investment in a sow,
raised and sold $136 in pork, ETC., in one
year; and urged our farmers to greater
interest in stock, for with conditions more
favorable here than in Tennessee, there
was no reason why we could not do as well
as this. We knew that better could be ex-
pected here but preferred to under-state
conditions Now a West Florida man, &
E. Pleas, in letter that has already been
reproduced in The Journal tells how from
one Berkshire gilt bought in January, 1919,
he has already sold $253.50 of pigs, put up
S1250 of meat, and has the sow and sew
eral pigs left, bringing the net return from
the sow to $423.50, IN fifteen months time
OF course the original investment of the
Tennessee man was considerably less than
the value of Mr.. Pleas pedigreed' Berk-
shire; and this tells another of the wealth
secrets in Florida: that pure-bred stock not
only can be sold higher, but it can actually
be produced cheaper.
This is no theory: Mr.. Pleas has demon
strated it by experience. He got rid of all
his grade stock when actual figures con-
WINGED him that ct took more than twice
the feed to keep the half-bloods barely
alive, than was required to keep the others
in the pink of condition" In three months
time, the pure-bloods had made three times
the gain of the scrubs, besides being easier
to handle in other ways.
Mr.. Pleas has another object lesson for
the farmer who can learn. He fed pure
blood male calf, seven months old, in the
identical ration he gave. an eighteen-month
old grade heifer Both received identical
treatment The calf weighed 400 pounds
to start with, the heifer 600 pounds At
the end of year.the thoroughbred weighed
1900 pounds, having made a gain of 800
pounds; but the grade had gained only 200
pounds. The pure bred is still growing
and will probably go to 2200 or $500 by
the time he is fully developed
Hogs and cattle are splendid money
making combination Thousands of pounds
of butter are supported every year from ILL
nois, Kansas, and other northern or west
ern states which can be furnished by our
own farmers, and the skim milk, fed to
hogs, will give by-product every bit as
profitable.
