Decay of Famous Mexican Pyramid

The residents of Cholula, in the
state of Pueblo, Mexico, are alarmed
over the cracking of the historic pyra-
mid of Cholula and the impending de-
structlon of the temple The crack in
the pyramid extends long distance
and is 20 centimetres wide.
The weakening of the pyramid is
due to the decay of its base, caused
partly by the taking away of earth
from the supports with which to make
adobes. The chaplain has invoked di-
vine protection. Prof Leopold Batres,
inspector general of archaeological
monuments, has gone to Cholula to
make an examination of the prem.

TO A MISSOURI CONCERN A FEW
DAYS AGO.
PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE IN
Diversified Farming and the Devei-
opr'ent Of the City and This Sec
tion--A Noble Effort Made by
Canning Plant Company.

owing TO the fact that there were
no farmers or land owners In this
section of the country who believed in
diversified farming the Ndw State Can
ming Co. has been compelled to sell
their plant to a concern from Leban-
on Mo, and the same will be moved
from here in a few days. The deal
was completed a day or so ago at
the purchase price of s2,s00
The board of directors Of the can
ming company has endeavored to Sc
cure the assistance of the farmers and
land owners in this section to plant
tomatoes and other truck suitable for
canning and even went so far as to
purchase about $50 worth Of seed for
free distribution so as to get the far
mers to plant same, and also endeav-
orcd to make contracts with them for
the output Of the farm OF all the sur
plus made. A great many OF the farm.

clusion that It is better to let their
land lay idle than to plant a crop that
means money and development to the
city and this section. This company
went so far as to employ an expert
per month TO run the plant and in

ter about two months trial availed
nothing. Thus II is. a few men go
down In their pockets to develop this
section of thu country and the city
and instead of securing the hearty
cooperate Of others are met with
all kinds Of reverses. Should those
people continue in the future we will
have a CITY built some time when they
have departed this life or about the
the time Gabriel will sound his trump
ct for the last grand review.
Every effort possible was made by
the promoters of the plant to secure
people to plant truck but could not
do so. The directors finally came to
the conclusion TO sell out.
It means that plant that would
have employed about 100 people and
also been the means OF establishing n

vegetables raised in this country.
