A DESPISED WEED
Which Will Bring Millions to Land
Owners of Southwest.


The discovery by Oscar Pacius, of
Monterey, Mexico, of process for ex-
tracing wax from the candelilla plant
has created new and important in
dustry in Mexico, Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico. The cendelilla plant is
desert weed, which grows abundant
ly upon many million of acres of
semi-arid land in northern Mexico and
parts of Texas, Arizona and New Mex
leo. 1t is one of the types of vegeta-
ton peculiar to the southwest which
long had been looked upon as useless.
1t was despised by cattlemen because
1t has the faculty of forming such a
den.se growth upon lands as to shut
out The glass aa5 thus injure the
range for grazing purposes. Land own
ers who formerly despised the weed
now find themselves in fair way to
reap fortune from the utilization of
the plant. This already is being done
In Mexico, and steps have been taken
In Texas to carry on the manufacture
Of wax from the plant.
When it was discovered a few years
ago that good grade of crude rubber
could be manufactured from the quay
ule shrub experiments were begun by
Mr. Pacius and others with various
other kinds of wild vegetation. Mr..
tanned wax to the amount of 80 to
per cent. He perfected a process of
extracting the wax, and it is in prac-
teal operation in several factories
that have been established in northern
Mexico
The new industry is having a rapid
growth. 1t is predicted by men who
are familiar with the different varie-
not be long until the principal source
of supply of that product will come
from the candelilla plant. 1t means an
enormous increase of wealth to the
people of Texas, Mexico, Arizona and
New Mexico, where this plant is found
in its native state. The demand for
the product comes chiefly from Ger
many, and the factories which are in
operation are making regular ship
ments to Hamburg. The present price
in Mexico is $500 gold per ton. 1t is
said that about thirty tons of the weed
are required to make one ton of the
crude wax. The same factory that
manufactures the crude wax from the
plant also puts the product through
the refining process.
The cost of producing a ton of the
wax is SIS gold. One important and
valuable advantage of the new indus
try is that the refuse of the weed is
available for fuel for the factory.

HOME TESTING.

A sure and Easy Test ON Coffee.
To decide the all important question
of coffee, whether or not it is really
the hidden cause of physical abs and
approaching fixed disease, one should
make a test of 10 days by leaving of
coffee entirely and using well-made
Postum
If relief follows you may know to
certainty that coffee has been your

Won't stand for 1t in Mexico.

Mexico is one country at least that
puts its foot down solidly against the
suffragist. Women have one privil-
eye in Mexico. and that is to obey
their husbands. The Mexican woman
is in even a worse plight than her Ser
Wan sister, who must stand at the
side of the road while her lord and
master walks by in the middle. 1t
was a great commission on the part of
the Mexican government to permit the
raising of a monument to Josefa
Ortiz de Dominguez, and was made
possible only by the fact that it was
in her house in Queretaro that the pa
triots did most of their plotting a
century ago for the throwing off of
the yoke of Spain. The statue is the
only one in Mexico that has been rails
ed to a woman. 1t stands in the heart
of the City of Mexico.

TWO PUMPKINS WORTH $4,000
Resurrected Invalid Debt and Bring
About It's Collection.


About It's Collection.
Two pumpkins were worth $4,000 to
DR.. ]. F. Keith of Sturgeon, Mo-, last
year, and the purchase of them was
one of the cleverest bits of financier-
ing that has been recorded thereabouts
for many moons. Thirteen years ago
Dr. Keith loaned a considerable sum
of money to a farmer near Sturgeon,
and he was never able to collect it.
The obligation ran on until the statute
of limitations made the claim invalid.
Last fall, which was the thirteenth
year after the debt was made, DR..
Keith happened to be at the home Of
his debtor and saw some very fine
pumpkins. He purchased two of the
finest ones that he could select out of
the pile and told his man that he
could apply the purchase price to the
amount that he owed him, which at
that time was about $4,000. This ar
rangement was satisfactory to, the
pumpkin raiser. By the purchase of
the pumpkins and the Endorsement of
the note the obligation was renewed
and the doctor was able to get his
money through the courts.

In Morocco it is customary for a
man to bury most of his riches in
place known only to himself. This
custom is practiced by all Moors, for
they cannot trust them directly it was
known where the money was.
At the death of the head of a fam
lily in Morocco, digging operations
commence at once. but seldom Is the
money discovered. There must be
many fortunes buried away in odd
corners of the country. An instance
came under the writer's notice at one
of the coast towns. During the demo
lition of a house a considerable sum
of money was found built into the
wall

Young Mr.. Charles was plainly en-
barrassed. and Miss Smith knew what
was coming, or thought she did.
"Er-Miss Smith" he said feverish-
ly, could I-er-see your father for a
moment or two?'
Certainly, Mr.. Charles," And. ex-
cusing herself, she swept from the
parlor.
Presently the old man came in, and,
after a short conversation with Mr..
Charles he stepped to the door and
summoned his daughter.
Mr.. Charles, whose face was radiant,
said, "As have long ride before me,

The Old school Exhibition.

Just as the warmer season comes
He pulls himself together
The boy, he mounts 1.-The burning deck,
And never minds the weather.
On piney platforms, high and low,
We see him rise and shine;
he tells US of the soldier brave
From Bingen on the Rhine"
And the little girl in calico,
With cheeks like roses bright,
Informs US of the curfew
That shall not ring tonight"
And as we sit and listen,
The tides of Memory flow;
Perhaps you were that boy-that girl,
Some forty years ago.
