SEES FINE CHANCES IN
REPUBLIC OF MEXICO
President Of Five Thousand Club Tells
of Opportunities at Banquet
Served at the Y. M. C. A.

"There are splendid opportunities for
young men in Mexico, especially along
practical lines-agriculture, for one,
for Mexico is behind the times in ship
ping and the conduct of her great
business enterprises upon an economic
basis, which is so essential factor
in the success of the big American cor
porations," said e. r. Jones, vice pres
ident of the Wells-Fargo company In
the City of Mexico, at a dinner given
in his honor by the Five Thousand
club of the Young Mems Christian as
sociation last night Mr.. Jones is
president of the Five Thousand club,
that has had for its object during the
year 1909 the increasing of the mem
bership of the Y. NJ. c. a. to 5000. he
formerly was assistant to the general
manager Of the Wells-Fargo company
In Los Angeles before his call to Mex
leo, and while a resident of this city
took a personal interest in the work
of the Y. NJ. c. A. and is widely known
among its members.
Music" said Mr.. Jones, "is Mex
ico's long suit That is where the cities
of the southern republic have us out
classed The City of Mexico has three
municipal bands that are supported by
the government The musicians enlist
like soldiers. | venture to say that
each one OF the three bands in Mexico
City are the equal, if not the superior,
of Sousas American band. These Mex
lean bands play three times week
and on Sunday render grand concerts.
II must confess that in courtesy the
Mexicans also can give us pointers.
From the fat little official of the Diaz
regime down to the peon they are
courteous and seemingly anxious to
please you. L have seen the peon stag
gering under a heavy load upon his
head halt on the roadside, shift his
burden to his shoulder and doff his
sombrero i'll return to you1 salutation.
Mexico as nation cannot advance
until her young men of the better class,
who have the advantages to learn
will cease to look upon actual labor
with the hands as degrading. This is
the one objectionable thing to young
mon of the better class of Mexico,
together with the fact that they can
not separate class or social distinction
from the grade of employment
Mr.. Jones closed his address with
statement to the effect that at present
there was not much work for the Y.
M. c. A. in the southern republic, al
though in Mexico City an association
headquarters had been established and
an appropriation had been made TO the
association by the government.
