In Mexico.
THE year just passed has been quite
prosperous for our people in Mexico,
although the crops were not the best
on account of the scarcity of rain last
summer; yet the aggregate shows an
increase of wealth. In Colonia Juarez
at Neuvas Casas Grandes, the average
Income for each head of a family was
N,400, or $4,000 for the 100 families
The other colonies have done quite as
we'll, the total for the 1000 colonises
being about 100000 per year. We
have very perfect system Of obtain
ing statistics among our people, and
every year complete census is taken
of our people and what they are doing.
About $500 of them reside In this state
and the rest In Sonora.
AT Colonia Juarez we have COM
menced to build an academy at a cost
OF $4,000, and this will be finished in
a year. The school will be free to all.

The Duluth city council proposes to
stop dancing in the city parks and will
buy up contiguous territory that is apt
to be used for dancing purposes. TO
follow up this proposition to the bitter
end the board will in time turn the
whole city into park. However, if the
parks could at the me time be cured
of worse evils than dancing there might
not be serious objection to the boards
policy Of expansion. There are better
ways, though, of abolishing public nui-
sances than by buying them out, and
until dancing and dance pavilions be-
come such nuisances as can be reached
by the laws, the wisdom of official inter.
ference is questionable.
