er the woman of Mexico and of Cen
trail and South America. Did you ev-
er think how much less We know of
these, our neighbors, than Of the wo-
men of Europe and the women of
Asia? There will never be entire
sympathy between the Americans,
there will never be the proper social
relationship land on this depends to
some extent the proper commercial
relationship, until the women Of
our land come more closely in touch
with the women of other American
countries.
Are YOU not willing to try the ex-
pertinent of hundreds of clubs in all
parts of the land studying at the
same time one of these two topics,
and taking leading part in the
Americanization of foreign born wo-
men? Let us testr esults arising

sUsMERsIsLEs AND MOTHER
SHIP LEAVE TOMORROW
Vessels Which Have Been In Port
For Many Months VIII Proceed
To Key West

Pensacola, April 26.-The subma.
Jrines XII. 'K.2.o KS and ks. and the
mother ship. Tallahassee, will leave
Pensacola today for Key West. The
Tallahassee and the first three sub.
marines have been in port since the
latter part Of February, coming here
shortly before Mardi Gras and taking
part in the carnival celebration.
The last, or K-6, arrived shortly
afterward, after a difficult voyage, in
which it became separated from the
rest of the fiotilla, and stopped at
Key West for repairs.
During their stay here many ex-
periments have been made, and ma
neuvers with the hydro-aeroplanes
have been frequent. An opportunity
was created by their stay to test fully
the value of the discovery made here
when the station was first established,
which revealed the fact that after an
aviator had assembled to CERTAIN
height. the water became to great
degree transparent, and object on the
bottom of the bay could be located
with accuracy.
| The value of this discovery, it is
said, depended largely on the posi-.
bility Of tracing moving objects I'M
der water. this was given thorough
test, the results of which have not
been made known.
Further experiments were made
with the submarines in an attempt to
render them invisible when it became
ne.'sfery to raise the coming tower
out of the water. To do this many
varied colors were tried, and many
color combinations which frequently
lent to these staid boats weirdness
harly imaginable. Brilliant colors
were tried as we'll as the more sober

Dear Editor, take my pen IN
hand to write a few lines on eileen
up your back yards; this meens you.
The spring is oncet agane in our
midst and the summer will follow
along shortly and we had not ought
to let summer ketch us with our
yards all Uttered up with last yeer's
tin cans and the chips from where
we bilt the chicken coops last fall
and all that.
am wantin that ever body should
rake and scrape and get things
cleened up and stratened up. reck-
on some has got gates hangin
crooked and lenses a saggin and
wobblin, an you know, Mr.. H.,
these things had not ought to be so.
We had all ought to get together on
this and do things all up to oncet
and the site of one mother workin
would be very helpful.
This is a good time to get the
painter done on the house and
barn, and then we had ought to
plant some vines and roses and
things like that.
In one way you look at it, the
place where we live IS like mans
close, and is a indecks Of his caract-
er and sole. An man had ought to
improve his siroundins and make
them a fit adorenment for his self.
An a man don't think much of his
self II he lets his self live in sur
roundins which is not such as | have
stated.
Paper BLOWN all over the phase
is a mother thing that l don't like to
see. The Children could be got to
pick up for the fun Of having bun
fire. 1t is a disgrase the way papers
is let blow around.
An the allys and streets had ought
to be KEEP eileen now, because hys will
soon be in our midst if they are not
all ready there.
An old waiter had not ought to
be let stand around for the muskeet-
ers to rase there familys in. One tin
can can supply the whole naborhood
with musketers if 1t is let do so. Tin
cans had ought to be buryed. they
is only one way to do this thing rite
and that is berry the cans and sell
the bottles and things like that.

5,53S DEMOCRATS
HAD REGISTERED
IN POLK co. Up
TO APRIL 3

p W Daniel, supervisor of regis
tration of this county, has given out
the following information in reference
to the registration in this county up
to April Srd. The figures given here
with do not include those registered
since that time, but will prove in
teresting reading 1t will be recalled
that the Bryan primary law required
re-registration by all voters of the
state, but it will not be necessary for
those who registered at that time to
register again but only those who
failed to qualify then or who have
moved into the state since that time.
The words new and 'old,' refer
to those who were on the registration
books two years ago and those who
have registered this year.

Registration closed in the various
precincts some time ago, since which
time it has been necessary to reg
lister at Barlow. Only a few days
remain in which it will be possible
to register at all in order to vote at
the primary as well as the good
roads bond election. and every good
citizen is urgently requested to at
tend to this matter on or before
Monday next, which is positively the
last day
For the convenience and accom-
mediation of those who wish to reg
lister, the Polk County Goods Roads
Association will have cars for the
purpose and carry the voters to Bar
tow and back free of cost on Friday
and Saturday of this week and Mon
day of next week Those who have
failed, so far, to register ou2ht to
avail themselves of this opportunity.
The good roads bond issue needs
every vote.
In our humble opinion Hon. =.
N. Hudson is the most logical can
didate for Governor, and is the best
man in the race One of the strong
est arguments; in his favor is that
everybody who knows him endorses
him. F. NJ. Hudson is practical, and
for twelve years has been directly
and intimately connected with the
people and their needs; he is Chris
tian, a scholar and a gentleman. A
man who possesses such attributes is
a man, who will never hurt any state
as the chief executive. Yes, we be-
lieve Hudson is the man for COVER
nor, and are going to back this belief
up with our vote. --Maeelenny Stand,

ADDITIONAL LOCALS

A barn on the property of Mr.. c.
r. Rice, South Boulevard, caught fire
today shortly after noon and would
have been completely DESTROYED but
for the excellent work of the fire de-
partment who made a quick trip out
to the scene of the fire, and extin-
guished the blaze. 1t seems that the
barn caught from a fire that the col
ored washerwoman had built under
the wash-pot, which got beyond her
control and reached the building. The
damage amounts to about $500.

of duty towards the immigrant. The
more l have thought, the more have

this subject, the more do | become
convinced that we have great re-
sponsibility and an inspiring oppor-
tunity in this direction. While much
is being done for the immigrant
man and immigrant children, little
is being undertaken for immigrant
woman. How best to help the immi-
grant woman. how best to American

maker. is the task that lies close to
our door. Will 1t not be wise for us
to set ourselves the definite task of
studying fundamentally how we may
best accomplish three things: the
teaching Of immigrant woman the
English language. the bringing her
in personal touch with some Of the
best home life Of America, the giving
her some conception of American
ideals of government and American
patriotism? Because we advocate CO.
