U. S. EXPORTERS WARNED.
Cuban Conditions Make Shipments
Very Uncertain.

The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce today warned American ex-
porters against sending shipments to
Cuba at present unless cable instructions
had been received from the consignee.
There is still congestion at the port
of Havana, the bureau said. adding that
it had been advised by reliable author
ity that 1000 workers employed to re-
Eeye the congestion had ceased work
because they were not paid. This situa
ton, together with the recently declared
moratorium, which prohibits withdrawal
until December l of more than 10 per
cent of the checking deposits In banks,
the bureau said, constituted just cause
for the exercise of care in the forward
ing of exports. ~
tOf course, contracts must not be re-
rudiated," the bureau warned, but the
wishes of the importer should be con-
suited" .-sc-e- = n n 4IHt

SELECT COTTON SEED
 NOW FOR NEXT YEAR
Cotton Trade Association Sees Worth of Home Grown Seed Culled
 from Best Stalks.

Farmers ought to begin thinking now as to the source of their cotton seed for planting in 1921, according to a bulletin issued by the Arkansas Cot ton Trade Association The yield from the healthiest and most produc- tive staples should be sorted out and ginned separately, and the seed held for next years planting, according to the bulletin, which is as follows;
 Now is the time to give thought to seed selection for planting and farmers should be encouraged to ar range for their next seasons require ments from their own crops or by ar engagements with their neighbors.
 ''The adaptability of Arkansas soil and our climate justify no attempts toward varieties except staples and every farmer raising staples should pick and hold separately from the rest of his crop that part where the plant is healthiest and the yield per stalk Is best, and when he has an amount sufficient to give him a bountiful sup ply of next seasons seed, he should have it ginned separately, but be sure that the gin is previously clean of all other seed. There are better reasons why Arkansas should sell seed than that they should buy it.
 Tt is mistake for farmers to rush cotton to the gin as fast as it is pick ed. Cotton will improve in staple, in color, in textile strength (pulling quality) and will gin better and clean CT if allowed to age for two weeks or more in a well ventilated shelter Cotton should not be bulked in the seed unless free from dew CT other excessive moisture"

IRISH MAY GAIN
 LIBERTY AT LAST
CBy United Press)

London, July 21.-Proposals for the virtual independence of Ireland with provisions which will prohibits inter- ference by any foreign government in Irish affairs, are under consideration by the British cabinet, it was stated today on relable information. This action includes the withdrawal from Ireland of every vestige of British military or civil authority Although it does not provide for specific re- cognition of Irish independence by the British government, it makes the in dependence of the island an actuality.
 Should the proposal be adopted, it is sad that the British government will at the same time formally an- nounce that recognition of Irish in dependence by any foreign government will constitute an unfriendly act.

 A forest fire Is another thrilling i element of the story. While the fire that ragged in the Sierra Madres dur ing the month of September, one of the most destructive conflagrations lever recorded in the range, was used in most of the forest fire scenes of the play, an artificial forest had to be built for one scene that in the picture lasts but few seconds-a mere flash.
