MEXICO USES OWN ORANGES.
Export of Fruit to United States VIII
Not be as Large as in Past Years.

City of Mexico, Nov. 9.-The move
ment Of Mexican oranges to the United
States this season will not be as large
as in former years. according to the
statements of growers in the various
districts. The railroads Will make no
estimate at this time of the pronaole
number of cars that will be exported
owing to the fact that comparatively
few contracts have as yet been CLOSED
with foreign buyers.
The home demand for the fruit is
constantly increasing. and as gooo
prices are obtained in Mexico, some ol
the growers who have been accustomed
to EXPORT their output have alread!
contracted for the sale of this year
crop in Mexico.
The crop in the orange growing dls'
tricts of the state of Sonora is said te
be unusually good. Some complain
has been made of the wormy conol'

TAFT TO PossUM's DEFENSE.
Tastes as Good as Young Pig, Presi
dent Has Declared.

Macon. Ca. Nov. 9.-Prcsidcnt Taft
has formally come to the defense OF
the 'possum. When somebody in q
crowd in Columbus shouted:
GLOW about 'possum he said:
an some way or other the impress
sion has gone abroad that / have q
particular love for that dish. Well,
at Atlanta they gave me dish of pos
sum that was very well cooked, and
that ] enjoyed very much.
u am bound to say that I could not
distinguish it from the taste of young
pig, but ! have had to encounter, in
insisting that I did like it, certain
sort Of prejudice that is said to exist
against the animal in the tastes OF
some people. Now, I don't entertain
that sort of prejudice"
President Taft in his speech at the
fair grounds touched on the limita-
tons placed by the constitution. on the
authority of the executive and de-
clared that he did not think disre-
garding and ignoring the statutes was
| the best method of removing limita.
tons that interfere with reforms.

Of the state is concerned Professor A.
l.. Kroeber, head of the department
of anthropology of the California uni

are still found who speak a language
that has not been previously noted.
Such a new dialect was only this
month recorded by Professor Kroeber
from the Sacramento valley. 1t Is
likely that a few additional Ian
guages will yet be discovered, but In
the main records have been gathered
of all forms of speech that survive.
The numerous languages fall into
about twenty groups, known as fam
