Interest in "America First"

That interest is growing in the
America First" movement is brought
out in the following extract from the
report:
Interest in the better preparation of
immigrants for American life and citi-
Zenship is rapidly increasing. The work
of this division has been much en-
larged and extended during the year.
About the time of the opening of the
schools last fall the division began the
distribution of an America first poster
printed in English and seven foreign
languages inviting foreigners to learn
English by attending night schools.
and to write to this bureau il there
was no night school for them in their
city or town. This poster was sent to
all city and county superintendent of
schools, to the principal post Offices. in
dustrial establishments. educational

in this subject. More than 100000 were
distributed"

Another recommendation deals with
adult illiterates. The report in dealing
with this feature recommends: PRO
cation of adult illiterates and the dis
semination of information as to the
best methods OF teaching illiterate men
and women to read and write, and OF
extending the meager education OF
those who were denied the advantages
Of the schools in their childhood and
youth. According to the census OF
more than 5,5OO.000 illiterate men and
women and children over the age when
they may be expected to make a be-
ginning in the public schools"
Emphasis is placed on school garden
ing and agricultural clubs. Both
movements are educational and were
instituted in the interests of boys and
industry" explains the report.
"The greatest demand on the schools
at the present time is for something
that will offer greater opportunity for
an active experience-Someth that
will vitaIize the curricula and facilitate
sense training. Before the days of in
tense concentration of population. and
when a large proportion of the chill
dren had the opportunity of sharing in
the general occupations in and about
the home, the greatest need was for an
education that would enable the young
people to read, write and cipher, and
that would prepare few for the so
elementary training served this pur-
pose, but under present conditions there
is need for something that will
in a measure at least, take the place Of
the industrial experience formerly sup
piled by farm and home activities"

PRESBYTERIANS MAY
QUIT CHURCH COUNCIL
Object to Body's Activities In Inter
national Matters and So
cial Reform.


the part of the Southern Presbyterian
Church to withdraw from the Federal
Council Of Churches Of Christ was pre-
sented at the quadrennial convention
of the council yesterday, when Rev. w. s.
Jacobs of Houston, Tex. introduced a
memorial from the General Assembly
of the Southern Church.
This stated that the activities Of the
federal council in international mat
ters and in social reform were deemed
inconsistent with the object of the fed
Grafton and subversive of the principle
of separation of church and state.
The memorial stated that the churches
in the federal council should be con-
cerned with things Of eternity, and not
temporal. In presenting the memorial
the minister said the action OF the fed-
eral council in political and social mat.
ters placed stick in the hands OF
the Roman Catholic Church to use on
the head of protestantism."
After debate, the council adopted
resolution declaring that there was no
conflict between the declared purposes
NJ the church federation and it's activi-
ties. in behalf of social reform, and
that the memorial from the Southern
Presbyterian Church was based on a
misconception.
The president of the federal council
was authorized to appoint a committee
to attend the next general assembly OF
the Southern Presbyterian Church and

BOARD OF TRADE AND BAIT
 SHORTAGE.

At the Board of Trade meeting on Friday night, J. T. c. Williams raised the important matter of the scarcity of herring bait for the halibut fisher men. He proposed that the halibut men be allowed to catch their own bait wherever herring were found, these to be used exclusively for bail and no license to be charged for the privilege. He said that several of the halibut men had been taking salmon owing to the shortage of herring bait.
 George R. Nelson said that he was told that a cannery had refused to sell salmon when asked to provide them for bait
 MT Williams did not think that this could be so, though salmon were so valuable this year that the canners wanted all they could get for canning purposes. The matter will be brought before r. H. Cunningham and D. N. Mcintyre when they visit Prince Ru pert this fall in connection with their duties on the Fisheries Advisory Board-Rupert News.

A poll tax has never proved a successful method of raising revenue, and has not been more successful in Alaska than in oth- CT places. It is an unfair taxation be- cause there is no adequate way of collecting the same, and further be- cause therefore it is negotiable The poll tax was passed by the unanimous vote of the Territorial Senate

Roads elsewhere, as well as in La
tab county, have been damaged by
dragging not done as wisely as might
be. On that point the Breeders Ga
zette says:
1t is possible to have too much even
of a good thing, and easy to use good
tool in wrong fashion. This is what
has happened in Iowa, where the road
drag has been used so thoughtlessly
that the surfaces of some roads have
been dragged to dangerous peak.
The center of the road has been built
up too high for safety or comfort. A
high crown and steep sides create a
double danger. 1t is a case of zeal
without Judgment. The misuse of the
drag can not be held against the valu-
able implement or surface preservation
by its systematic employment. The
Iowa State Highway Commission dis
claims responsibility, as it is without
authority in such local administration.
1t suggests complaints from travellers
to the dragger or the road superin-
tendent. the county engineer or super
visor. OF course the water will run
off the more readily the sleeper the
sides of the road, but SO will the We
hicles The ditch is the place for the
water but not the wagons Or cars.
1t is easy to get the crown too high,
just as it is bad to get it too low 1t

ton is simple enough when horse

Plan to PopuIarize Fruit.

whats the good of apples If you
don't eat them?" is the question asked
by Gordon G. Corbaley, secretary man
ager of the ninth National Apple show.
The question viii be answered in a
novel manner at the show to be held
in Spokane, November 20 to %. Mr.
Corbaley is arranging to install mod
Ell kitchen in the apple show enclosure
with six large ovens working day and
night under the supervision of dozen
chefs.
Here 10000 apple pies WILDE cooked
each day OF the show and distributed
free to every one entering the grounds.
Each admission ticket will carry a cou.
pol emitting the holder to one free pie,
and the model kitchen is expected to
be the most densely inhabited portion
of the show.
There is Il big idea back of this
free pie distribution" states Mr.. Cor
bailey. During the week tens of thou
sands of people will visit the show
Every one of these will not only see
the most perfect apples grown any
where in the world but they will have
an opportunity to sample these prod
ucts between pie crusts. Thus we
will be helping to popularize the apple

Efforts have been made by women
clubs in some eastern cities to Or
ganize a boycott against number of
farm products on account of their
high price. The prohibition of ssX-
porting wheat is urged as a means Of
keeping the price down.
The eastern cities are prosperous
principally because of the enormous
exports of munitions Of war to Europe.
If an embargo on war munitions were
declared, the eastern cities would suf-
fer keenly and the people who COM
plain of the high price of farm prod
ncts would experience none of the
prosperity they are now enjoying.
II would be no more reasonable to
curtail the farmers profits by legisla-
ton than to compel other people who
are prosperous from the same cause
to reduce their prices and their prof
its.
