cARBANzo CROP OF MEXICO.
One OF the Highest Priced Field Products
of the Country.

OF the Country.
Inc garbanzO is neither a pea nor a
bean, but occupies a position somewhat
between the two, and although but little
used among foreigners it is highly priced
IN all Latin countries. There is a de-.
mand for it in the Mediterranean ports
OF Spain and Italy and in Cuba. and it
forms an important article of export
among the agricultural products of this
country.
When roasted it somewhat resembles
roasted chestnut in flavor, although by
many persons preferred to the chestnut
1t is also boiled with rice, and a very
good broth is made from it.
The garbanzo crop of Mexico is grown
on lands which are adapted to the
growth of wheat, but as it ia raised
without lrrigatio when the wheat crop
is short, the garbanzo crop is proportion
ately large, as it is planted on wheat
land that did not have sufficient water
for irrigation. 1t is not confined to this
class OF land, however, as any good
black land will produce it. The plant
itself resembles somewhat a dwarf pea
vine, although much more stocky and
with smaller leaves. There are from one
to four garbanzos in a pod, and as a rule
the fewer there are per pod the larger
the garbanzo.
The best quality of garbanzo is one of
the highest priced Mexican field pro-
ducts. The best qualities are exported
to Spain and Cuba, and as it is very
susceptible to the influence of dampness
it is not sent to the coast until the YES
sci on which it is to be imported is ac-
tually in port It is customary for the
exporters to collect their shipments at
points with a dry temperature and sew
eral thousand feet elevation, but that
are near enough to the tide water to be
able to reship promptly when the oppor
tunity arrives.-MeXican Herald.

Never before have the linen costumes
been SO wonderfully smart and attract
i've as they are this year. The suit of
1908 has not taken suggestion from
the one of 1907 and therefore the last
years model is hopelessly out-of-date.
The costumes of white linen are unques-
tionably the ones that lead the more
elaborate models. These have a coat
and one-piece gown. the skirt of which
is either circular or demi-trained. The
favorite coat length is half way between
the waistline and the knees. Some slant
gradually away from several inches be-
low the waistline, others are a trifie
longer in front than in back and still
others are pointed on the sides. back
and front. Very few cutaway styles are
seen, although there are some attractive
models with the back of the coat nearly
trimmings on these are of lace and band
ings of embroidered muslin For street
use the suits are strictly tailored and
are noticed in light blue, gray, buff and.
tan. and for travelling the darker shades
of blue, mauve, brown and black and
white striped, are fashionable. A popul
lar skirt model in the street costume is'
circular, closing in front with large linen
covered buttons Ornamenting the seam
from belt to hem. Very smart are the
skirts with from thirteen to nineteen
cores, each seam stitched on the outer
side so that it seems to indicate mar
row bias band. To be very correct these
skirts should be inches from the
ground. These linen suits have been ex-
tremely fashionable this summer and
many styles in heavier weights will be
worn during the next month or two

CLOSE STORES FOR FUNERAL
Large Numbers Pay Last Tribute to
Mrs. John Raak, Paullina.

Special to Times Republican.
Paullina, Aug. 29.-All business Of
the town of Paullina was suspended
from noon till o'clock p m, yester
day, out of respect to the funeral of
Mrs. John Raak, wife of one of our
leading merchants. Paullina seldom has
seen such a large concourse of people
at funeral, as that of yesterday.
Mrs. Raak was raised from infancy
to womanhood in Paullina, and had
been married about five years. Less
than two years ago, consumption began
to make it's appearance, and from that
time until her death, she
gradually sank. Her death is excep-
tionally sad. as she leaves two bright,
beautiful children, a boy and a girl,
who will not remember her because
they are so young.
1t can be truthfully said that none
knew Mrs. Raak but to love her, as
her disposition was of the sunny kind
that draws all who come in touch with
such. She was member of the Order
of the Eastern Star. which society
had charge of the funeral and gave

pledged. 1t is the intention to spend
the fund in dragging the roads with a
King drag. The main thoroughfares
will receive attention first, after which
the side roads will be worked. 1t ap-
pears that the town has no fund to de-
vote to such purpose, and If the roads
are to be kept in passable condition
it must be by private subscriptions.
