STATE OFFICIAL
MEXICO CITY, .Tune 19.—“A
square deal for everybody" is *hc
promise made for the people and in
dustries of Tampaulipas by Professor
Andres Ozuna, recently elected pro
visional governor of that state by the
national senate, after a bitter fight for
ihc post that involved two generals
and caused the revolt of one of them.
The naming of a school teacher to
govern a state which, because of its
oil deposits, is described as the key
stone of Mexico’s international rela
tions, is in itself an innovation in
modern Mexican politics.
"The people of Tamaulipas expect;
a square deal,” said the new gov
ernor, “and they will get it. The for
eign interests need no special favors.
They want a square deal, and I’ll do
my best to give it to them.”
Governor Ozuna, in addition to be
ing one of the few non-military men
who have held responsible governing
posts in Mexico in the last decade,
enjoys the added distinction of being
virtually independent in his state. The
new constitution for the state has not
yet been formulated, so it remains for
the governor to designate what law-s
shall be enforced.
Governor Ozuna has spent eight
years In the United States and was
given his degree at Vanderbilt uni
versity in 1913. Since January 3, 1916,
he had acted as director general of
public education, and during his in
cumbency he put into effect an era
of efficiency by installing the merit
system for teachers, inaugurating ed
ucational reforms, cutting down the
office force of his department, and
eliminating politics in the teaching
force. These reforms were put
through and the number of schools
in the republic increased greatly, de
spite scanty appropriations.
Governor Ozuna was chosen by the
national senate from among three can
didates named by President Carranza.
The other two were General Carlos
Ozuna and General Rafael Cardenas.
General Ozuna is a nephew of the new
governor, and will command the mili
tary forces of the state.

It Pays to Advertise in the Times
NEW ORLEANS, June 20.—Jeffer
son island, former home of Joseph
Jefferson in Iberia parish, southern
Louisiana, and named by him “Bob
Acres,” after the character in “The
Rivals,” made famous on the stage
by the actor, is to be developed into
a sanctuary for wild fowl by Lawrence
Jones and J. Lyle Bayliss, of Lexing
ton, Ky„ who recently purchased the
property.
It comprises 10,000 acres. A con
tract has been awarded for the con
struction of a dam along one edge
of the property in order to re-estab
lish a cypress swamp drained some
years ago. When the water accumu
lates it is proposed to establish an
immense heronry in order that the
many species of herons in Louisi
ana, especially the egret, may build
nests and raise their young over the
water, as is their habit.
In addition, the new- owners of “Bob
Acres” have petitioned the Louisiana
conservation commission to set aside
Lake Piegneu, adjoining the property
as a wild-fowl refuge. The lake is
a noted resort- for ducks during the
winter months and they flock there
by the hundreds of thousands.
More than one third,of the land
embracing the lake is included in "Bob
Acres” artd owners of other property
adjoining have signified their desire
to prohibit the shooting of wild fowl on
the body of water. Under authority
granted by tire state, the conservation
commission wfll prohfbft shooting the
fowl when a petition signed by all
adjoining property owners is received
and establish it as the first of a series
of interior refuges planned during, the
coming year.

WASHINGTON, June 2(fl—A large
increase this year in the domestic
production of alizarin and vat dyes,
which include some of the best and
fastest colors known to the textile
trade, is foreseen by the tariff com
mission as a1 result of its census of
the coal tar products industry.
Dyes produced in the United States
in 1917 equaled in amount the annual
imports before the war, but differed
in the quantities of the various
classes. The output of alizarin and
vat dyes was less than 3 per cent
of the amount usually purchased. The
lack of development of manufacture
promises to be remedied to- a con
siderable extent in 1918, few a num
ber of firms have begun the manufac
ture of those dyes on a large scale.
Coal-tar products produced in the
United States last year amounted to
54,367,994 pounds, worth $68,711,228,
not Inchitling explosives and synthetic
phenolic resins. Dyes amounted to
nearly 46,000,000 pounds, valued at
$57,796,027; medicinal chemicals,
2,236,161 pounds, worth $5,560,237;
and flavors, 779,416 pounds, worth
$1,862,456. There were eighty-one
establishments engaged in the manu
facture of dyes alone.
In the classes of dyes which, if im
ported, would be dutiable at 30 per
cent plus 5 cents a pound, the Ameri
can manufacturers have shown re
markable progress, producing 43,810,
359 pounds, at a toial value of $57,
639,990. That this represents some
thing of an excess over the American
needs is evidenced by the fact that
during the fiscal year 1917 American
made dyes to the value of $11,709,287
were exported to other countries.
Thus the exports exceeded the pre
war imports In total value, although
not in tonnage nor in variety of the
dyes.
