 According to an American capitalist with interests in Honduras, quoted by the New Orleans Picayne, that country is the garden spot of the world. Many Americans" he says, "are coming in there every day, and l know of no sec tion of country where there are more and better opportunities opened up for the energetic American who wants to make money and make it easily.

 the mills are closed, and good many
 millers are looking for other kinds of
 employment because there is not grain
 enough to keep their plants in opera
 tion.'
