CIVIC LEAGUE ORGANIZES.
Lan9don's Cleanup Campaign Gets Good
Start on Arb0r Day

Notwithstanding the weather Friday
night there was good attendance at
the Court House to take an active part /
in the organization of the Langdon Civic
improvement League. Alderman j. S.
Brosnahan presided in the absence from
the city of Mayor Fox, and in opening
the meeting spoke of the hearty approval
and cooperation which the league may
look for on the part of the city
authorities. Brief talks we're given by
Attorney Smith, DR.. Gibson, Ex-Mayor
Koprlva, Judge Cleary and others, all
promising hearty support and stating
what in accordance with their individual
ideas was necessary to improve the
sanitation, cleanliness and beauty of the
city. General approval was given the
idea of garbage cans for both the resi-
dence and business sections of the city
Street sprinkling was another question
under discussion and is being taken up
jointly by the league and the city
council, with the result that street
sprinkling is practically assured this
summer. The cleanup is to be general
and it is the idea of the league to have a
proclamation issued by Mayor Fox
naming Wednesday, May 18th as
general cleanup day in the city. The
date has not been definitely settled, but
it will be at about that time. In the
meantime it is planned to have an active
cleanup campaign in progress in every
section of the city for the next two
weeks Later in the summer when the
result of the effort put forth is likely to
show to the best advantage an inspection
day will be arranged for. In the mean
time campaign is to be waged against
the accumulation of months of rubbish
in the yards, back alleys, streets and
public grounds and the spirit of the
idea is being taken up by Langdon
people with an enthusiasm that promises
to make our city one to be proud of as
the summer advances. Following the
discussion steps toward organization
were taken, the first move being the

NEWS OF OAKLAND BERKELEY ALAMEDA HAYWARD AND SAN LEADRO
MEXICO is SHORT OF
BUTTER AND CHEESE
Native Products Inadequate to
Supply Demand of People

Although Mexico has an enormous
cattle industry the country is short on
dairy products. Mexico has not ad-
vanced in this direction so very greatly
since the times when many an haci-
enda, owning hundreds of thousands of
cattle, took its coffee without cream or
milk and knew not the taste of butter
In the city of Mexico today one of the
trying questions before the public is
that of the scarcity. quality and near
ness of milk, and its sanitary condition.
as we'll as the methods of its produc-
tion and sale. Interior cities are some
times better off, but only in the smaller
towns, villages and ranches or haci-
endas is the milk supply actually ade-
quate. Butter of native manufacture
is usually unsalted and is sold wrapped
IN corn husks; when fresh it is ex-
tremely palatable, but it decomposes
rapidly.
Both in the northerp and southern
part of the republic ehterprising Mex
lean hacendados have imported the
most modern of butter making appar-
atus. but their efforts have not been
signally successful and American resi-
dents in the country mostly buy i'm
ported butter. which is received in
fairly large quantities. Three Amer
lean groceries in Mexico City import
from 500 to 1900 pounds weekly for
this trade, the major part coming from
Topeka, Kan; some from Abilene. Kan.
A German firm in the state of Mexico
manufactures butter which, though In
ferior to the imported, sells in the local
market for one-fifth to one-third high
er price. Cheese also is imported, partly
from Pennsylvania, most of it coming
in through jobbers. The native cheese
at the present day is dry, poor in fats
and some of it insipid although at
times it is found with a rich nutty
flavor, rather like some grades of Ital-
ian and Swiss cheese.
The cheese of domestic production
formerly was far more plentiful
cheaper and better than the native
product today. Present indications are
that this staple will continue to be-
come scarcer Even now, in the large
interior towns, for weeks at a time not
a pound of Mexican cheese is found on
the market. This dearth is due not so
much to a lack of the raw material or
of facilities for making cheese as to
the fact that a large number of the
people who formerly made small guam
titles from limited number of cows
have taken UP other occupations.
