mEx,co,s CURRENCY COMMISSION.

A commission has been appointed by
0ne Mexican government to investi-
yate most thoroughly the currency
Question in all its bearings in connec-
lion with the change proposed by that
sountry from the silver TO gold stand
1rd. The findings of this commission,
every member of which has been Sc
1ected on account of his capability and
fitness, are certain to prove of great
value and will be eagerly awaited by
the business world ard students of
finance and economics. Everything
possible will be done by the Mexican
government to facilitate the work of
the commission in the solution of the
problem. which is at the present time
The most serious confronting the Mexi-
can people. The commission will be
comprised of merchants. financiers and
Mexican government officials. This
commission is practically the conven
ton of experts to examine the business
conditions Of Mexico and make a trial
balance. Exports, imports and reve-
nue. will be tabulated. The mineral
production of the country and the
profits of mining operations now In
progress are assigned as the work of
one sub committee. Another will study
and report on the quantity and kind Of
money now existing in The republic of
Mexico, basing their report upon data
TO be secured from the various bureaus
, Of the government and from leading
business houses and financiers. 1t Will
also Investigate the stock of money held
IN the country and such fluctuations as
occur therein. together with the effect
Of periodical changes upon the rate OF
DISCOUNT, agriculture, commerce and in
dustry.
Still another sub committee Is di.
rected to making a systematic inquiry
into the general question of fluctuations
in foreign exchange, and its effect upon
different industries of the republic The
effects of the use in foreign exchange
on real estate and on the consuming
classes that live on wages or salaries
will be thoroughly investigated. Some
Of the questions before the committee
are:
Can the constant diminution In the
gold price of silver be beneficial to the
national production, or Is there limit
to the rise in exchange beyond which
ii Is liable to cause disastrous conse-
uuences to the producing and consum-
ing classes?
What are the effects that have ac-
crued to the various branches of ma
tional wealth from the constant oscil-
lations in foreign exchange, especially
to commerce and banking, and in con-
sequence to the money market and the
interests of the nation in general?
Is 1t desirable to bring about the
greatest fixity possible in the relative
value of our money and the various
monetary units of the foreign nations
with which Mexico trades?
What would be the maximum and
minimum limits within which said rela-
five value ought to be fixed?
In fixing the maximum ana minimum

Ba,an... Not Due to Modern Flour.

The human race was afflicted with
badness and toothlessness centuries
before white -four was known. 1t Is
possible that both these Affections are
less prevalent now than in the olden
times. All the olden time pictures and
statues of the dead races showed up a
good percentage of bald heads, and
tooth pulling and filing and even arti-
fetal toothmaking were practiced away
back in history. Out Of the ruins OF
Pompeii and Herculaneum are taken
whole sets of false teeth along with
loaves Of bran bread.

duck stories enough to drive the aver
age Nimrod pale with envy" Hunters
have had sucn good shooting that they
sent to town one day by Il returning
hunter sack with thirty-eight big
mallards in it to give to their
friends. To comply with the law allow
ing only twenty-five ducks in the pos
session of one man, two men rode to
town in the buggy with the sack. The
local butcher when asked the price of
one lone duck he had in the window
replied, Twenty-Five cents" and when
asked if he could get more said. Get
more? l can buy dozens every day II
want to, but there is no sale for them.
Every hunter is giving them to their
friends and hurting my sale of meat"
One hunter up this way wishes Iowa
would pass law prohibiting spring
shooting. He says all OF the small
ducks are poor in flesh and "out of a
dozen that he killed the other day only
eight were fit to eat. TIE mallards are
in good flesh. because they are such
COMPOUNDED hogs; they visit the corn
fields every day"

|
| Some years ago In an Iowa town a
| local manufacturer, employing about
zoo men at good wages. was seized
with an idea that he would like to go
| tc the legislature. He was repub-
| lican living in a town THAT can roll up
rearly thousand republican majority.
| But he was Numerically slaughtered.
and as a result moved away. taking his
business with him. And in looking over
the spring primaries this year there
seem to be two more similar cases.
One, the mayor of a Gown who de-
clned to run for secon lterm, because
he had no time to attend to it" the
real reason being an inevitable fight he
Gid not care to go into. And yet this
man has done far NOR for that town
| in the way of public enterprises and
generous gifts than any other one man
living there. The other case is similar,
only he wanted to go to the legisla-
ture, and he was turned down as tho
he was an outsider who cared nothing
for the interests of the town.
Here's another thing worth noticing!
In more than one Iowa town If the To-
cal paper comes out ard gives an en-
thusiastic support to any man 1t is
pretty sure to kill his political aspira-
tons. A case in point is when the Des
Moines Register supported Cummins.
He was defeated; when they opposed
him, he was elected.
Reasons for this condition Of affairs
are numerous. Perhaps the greatest
factor in turning down these good men
is feeling in the community that such
men have the support of the ring
That a certain crowd who run things"
in each town support these men. and on
general principles it's the duty of those
on the outside to "kill EN- off" Water
loo once elected Site cobbler as
MAYOR for this very reason, and he
made good mayor. too. but as a rule
the community loses by such action.
In hardware store IN an adjoining
town one day last week The owner was
trying to sell farmer free delivery
box. giving as an argument that he
could then take daily paper and have
ASOs
to take up space with the entire con-
versation. these We're the arguments
against 1T: If he had daily paper the
women would sit around and read it
and not do their work. If he had a
mail box the girls would be writing
and getting more letters. therefore more
expense for postage. He also told the
storekeeper that this rural free daliv
cry system was making taxes higher.
AS a clincher, he was sure the farmers
were reading too much now for their
own good, getting fancy notions" in
stead of farming the good old way.
After he went out the writer asked the
hardware dealer who he was. And
this is what the Looker-On heard about
the anti-free delivery farmer: That
he owns a 160-acre farm. worth SIS an
acre. Can hardly read or write; has
one grown-up son and one daughter
who are lacking in the same way. That
in all he has thirteen living children,
but the younger ones for some reason
are bound to go to school. And as the

HOGS IN THE RICE BELT.

+ A German agriculturist travel.
ing in this country is reported by
the Drovers' Journal to have said
ave feed our hogs very differently
from what you do in this country.
Our swine receive no corn, but are
fattened upon what you would call
green stuff, such as clover and other
legumes. We also feed a great deal
of roots. Our people have become
accustomed to believing that such
feeding produces better grade and
a more healthful meat than you
are able to secure from your
methods, where so much corn is
fed and swine follow cattle"
Such words as these should
encourage the rice farmer to raise
pork. More and more in this coun-
try hogs are beginning to be rails
ed with less corn. The cIoyers are
being largely used. Cowpeas will do
as we'll, and can be raised many
places where clovers cannot. Where
such pasture cannot be had, even
blue grass or other grasses will give
good results, and should De used
more than has been common in the
past. The rice farmer is not likely
to raise much corn unless he does
so merely for the purpose of ro-
tating his crops. Some of the
legumes, roots, low-grade rice, and
rice stubble pasture will make hogs
grow rapidly, be healthy and pro-
duce pork at very low cost. Hogs
and sheep are good cleaners and
will help keep down red rice. They
will not only destroy it; they will
turn it into cash.-Rice Journal.
