It is as important that rags should be saved for paper making as it was In the early history of the pa- per industry, and a little attention in this direction not only relieves the drain upon.the sources of supply for new materials but it serves as one of the ways of meeting the steadily in- creasing cost of living. COMMERCE EXPERTS. The announcement that the govern- ment is looking for experts in com- merce to be placed in Washington and in the district offices in somc of the principal citles indicates that new in- terest is being manifested in the de- velopment of the forelgn trade of this country, or to take care of that vol- ume of business which can be had by this country if there is the proper dis- position to go after it. These experts which the’ government is seeking will be required to handle independently particular-lines of research and other work connected with foreign trade, to answer inquiries and to take charge of correspondence, to prepare papers on economics and business conditions and on public and private finance in foreign countries, both for publication +nd for use in the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce or some other branch of the government service. The government is apparently un- dertaking to inform itself and others who may be interested upon the trade conditions and opportunities, and what it needs is men who are. capable of taking hold of such work. Taken in connection with the establishment of branches in South America by the National City Bank of New York city, which has stated that twice as many would have been established in the past year if the men could have been found to fill the staffs, there is evi- dence that a determined effort is being made to solve this problem of in- creased forefzn trade and solve it right. There is 2 certain amount of work in this connection /which falls upon the gover.ment and a proportion which mafufacturers and others con- nected with trade development must assume, but it is gratifying to see that some move is actually being made along important lines. Foreign trade is not going to come or increase by simply wishing for it. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Some people grieve over the European war as If it were their own gas bill It is plain to be seen that there are other perils in crossing Main street, besides those created by the automo- bile drivers. May rains as dust settlers are cer- tainly aflecflve for brief periods but they cannot be expected tg make oil- ing unnecessary. Possibly Carranza will take advan- tage of the lull in the conference pro- ceedings to talk the matter over with Villa more thoroughly. It may be as claimed that Carranza is rushing forces to wipe out Villa, but even o it has taken him too long already to see his duty. The weatherman is doing more than anybody in delaying the fly swatting campaign, but that is no reason for laxity in preventive work. Obregon proposes a cooperative p: trol of the border, but he hasn’t getten to the point where he thinks coopera- tive action against Villa is advisable. Those about the ecity who are put- ting their dilapidated sidewalks into proper condition are setting a fine ex- ample, not only for others, hut for the city itself. ‘Those who are picking out the mem- bers of the next president’s cabinet do not seem to think that he might like an opportunity to make his own selections. 405 No one gives much thought to Mexi- can intervention, without first realiz- ing the cunsideration that was shown in seeing that that republic was prop- erly armed from this country. mosquitoes which have ap- mmN'wJamy'muh:mn- ported to be unusually ferocious.

He just coulan't Keep from talking about it. There was times when it seemed like taking candy from a kid to let him keep on handing it out to me about how grand my hair looked and all, and never letting on to him that it wasn't the real goods. But I figured it to myself that it wasn't up to me to give him a hunch. ‘If he's having a good time, let him rave’ I says to myself. And he aid, for fair. “Last Sunday Jim phoned me that he was coming out with his little old tin wagon to take me riding. and somehow ‘I guess I was kind of ner- g00d as usual.

The National Geographic Society, in & Wiy guoRRay hostn, Tieea So- day from its headquarters in Wash- ingtona gives the following data about the village which up to the present time has been of such little moment that few maps of Mexico record its location: “Namiquipa, where General Persh- ing began concentrating his forces while General Obregon, of the Carran- za cabinet, and Major Generals Scott and Funston, representing the Ameri- can government, were in conference in Cindad Juarez, is a village nestling rear the border of the staté of Sonora, in the foothills of the Sierra Madres. It is situated on the banks of one of the shallow tributaries of the Rio de Santa Maria, sixty miles due west of Agua Nueva, the nearest station on the mainline of the railroad between El Paso and Chihuahua. It is about 180 miles south of El Paso, more than seventy miles northwest of Chihauhua City, and fully two hundred miles northwest of Parral, the southerly Doint reached by the advance cav- alry under Col. Dodd. “For the present at sny rate the American soldiers are not expected to experience any discomfort from the heat in this locality, for the nights are usually cool and the mornings frosty during the spring months. Accounts of {he climate are so glowing that one almost expects tofind a concealed ref- erence to some progressive summer- and-winter resort hotel in that vicin- ity. One enthuslastic trayeler asserts that the salubrious air is conducive to longevity to a remarkable degree, many of the Tarahumare Indians, of whom there are 25,000 in this region, living to be a hundred or more years of age. These Tarahumares, incident. ally, will present striking object I sons of physical fitness for our ol diers. They are among the hardiest people of the North American contin- ent, being able to endure almost un- believeable hardships. “By this time the American troops rrobably have had occasion to test the reputed virtues of the cebadilla, or sneeze-wort plant, the juice of whose spotted leaves is believed by the na- tives to be an excellent antidote for the venom of rattlesnakes, scorpions, tarantulas, spiders, and many other reptiles and insects which infest Chi- ‘huahua. Snakes are said to give the cebadilla a wide berth and the In- dians declare that a reptile will die in convulsions after having been irri- tated until it strikes at and bites the leaves held before it. Another potent factor in checking the ravages of pols- onous pests is the chaparral cock, or payeano, which dines on a rattler with as much relish as does the more fa- mous secretary bird or serpent eagle of South Africa. A less useful but equally unusual bird of this region is a species of glant woodpecker which sometimes measures as much as two feet trom the tip of its tall o i beak. “In the Batopilas district, far up in the mountains behind Mamiquipa, grows a peculiar tree from which & very acceptable soap is made. “The Santa Marla River, near the headwaters of which 1.ha American oD ‘emptying into Lake Santa Mar. ll. thirty miles below the Texas bor- der.

There was reverent silence for a moment. Then the fat girl in the rocking chair spoke. “Gee,” she said with a deep sigh, “he be a regular fellow all I wish I had a beau like that.” —Exchange. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Armenian Need as Great as Ever. Mr. Editor: It is a matter for grate- ful remembrance that the people of this city and viclnity have responded so cheerfully to the many appeals re- centiy made to them for benevolent action in the saving of suffering hu- manity. The calls have been many and urgent, and they must still be repeated. In regard to the Armeni- ans the need is as great as ever, ‘in fact is increasing in intensity. If the remnants of that so cruelly slaughter- ed nation are to be saved—and many are now dying the wrost of all deaths —the sympathetic ~ self-sacrifice ot givers must go on.

Mr. Bditor: There are a Iot of peo- ple in the world who hate dogs, and hate all who like dogs, and they rush into print on every possible occasion to influence others to hate as they do. One of their pet arguments is the al- leged fact that farmers cannot keep sheep because of the large number of dogs, the dogs thus preventing this profitable ‘live stock industry. What these ers would like to do is to turn a flock of sheep into some back pasture, salt them once or twice a month, shear them once a year, sell the wool, mutton and lamb and pocket the money. They don’t want to take care of the sheep by putting them in dog-propf pens at night as they do their poultry and other stock. Sheep must be easy money. Why do farmers want to keep sheep when other stock are so mucfi ‘more profitable? A ewe breeds only once a year, has only one or two lambs at a time, while a_sow breeds-twice a year with 15 to 25 young a vear. A pig at 8 weeks old is worth as much as a lamb at § months. A lamb at 9 months may_weigh 75 pounds, while ten' pigs could as easily weight 3,000 pounds, and the latter usually sell at two or three cents higher per pound. ‘Then it takes far more feed to make a pound of mutton than to make a pound of pork.
