FIELD FOR AMERICAN
CAPITAL III MEXICO
Cocoanut Growing and Copra
Extraction Profitable

Consul Arminius T. Haeberle of Man
zaniIlo calls attention to possibilities
for extending cocoanut growing and
their conversion into articles of COM
merce in that part of Mexico:
Like the cocoanut, the coquito 0ittle
cocoanut) is used for extracting oil.
The coquito grows wild in great
abundance and is a SMALL nut about
two inches in diameter and about four
inches in circumference. Nut oils are
imported into the United States from
China. but those produced in this part
of Mexico are used only for making
soap. for lubricating machinery and for
Illuminating purposes. Raising cocoa
nuts for expectation would be a profit
able enterprise in this district, where
the supply is limited to local con-
sumption.
A still greater market could be Gre
ated locally il a factory were eestab-
lished for extracting the oil from the
copra 1t is thought by many that even
now money could be made by extract
ing oil from the copra and the coquito
on larger scale and with modern ma
chinery
There are not many large cocoanut
groves in this district, but as coquitos
and cocoanuts are found everywhere a
good supply could be had by collecting
them.
1t is true that there are many small
factories for manufacturing soap and
extracting oil in Colima. San Bias and
Mazatlan. but not with modern ma
chinery The following method is used:
After the nut is ready for the market
the meat of the nut is toasted and then
ground between millstones turned by
horsepower. Then it is pressed or
thrown into kettles filled with hot
water and the oil skinned off the top.
To show the demand for copra, atten-
ton is called to the fact that last year
400 tons of copra were imported into
Mazatlan from San Francisco by two
soap factories, which paid $40 per ton
at point of shipment. in addition to
which freight and duty into Mexico had
to be paid. Machinery is also needed
for removing the outer hull of the nut,
which is now done by hand

SALEM CUSTOM HOUSE
LIKELY TO BE SOLD
Was Haunt of Hawthorne and
Inspired "Scarlet Letter"

For nearly a century the old custom house in
Salem has been in existence, but since bill has
been introduced into congress by Representative
Gardner for an appropriation TO build a new edi-
fee it is generally understood that the cid build
ing will be sold. as the government will not
support two says the Boston Transcript
The present custom house was built about 1919
on a part of the Crowninsheld estate. The
style of architecture is colonial with the ex-
ception that the roof s Hat instead of being
gambrel or pitched. Upon this roof is the old
tower where the custom house watchmen were
stationed TO the harbor for the approach OF
shipping in the days when Salem was one of the
great ports. Stored in this building are the
valuable records relating to the earlier history of
the colonies and TO the ''witchcraft'' period.
The old building was fayorite haunt OF Ma
tbaniel Hawthorne. and it there that he re-
ceiyed the inspiration for mis- masterpiece, 1.-The
Scarlet Letter" In the event OF the building
being sold 1t probably will be converted into a
warehouse as 1t is located in one OF the busiest
of the business streets of the city and fronts the
water.

SHEEP DIMINISHING
THROUGHOUT EUROPE
Greatest Falling Off Is Noted in
France

1t is not only the population of
France in the proper sense of the word
that is dwindling; the same may be said
OF the sheep, according to the London
Globe NJ Tisserand, a distinguished
authority on agriculture, states that in
1912 there were 32,000,000 sheep in
France; in 1882 there were 10000 600
fewer, and in 1907 the number had
fallen to 100000. But France stands
not alone in this respect. The same
authority says that Germany shows a
greater diminution; 25.o00,000 in 1870
have fallen to 100000 in 1907. In
Austria Hungary in 1905 they had 1O.-
100000. against 20,000,000 in 1869. Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark tell the
same story. In England the number
remains practically stationary, $1,000
600 in 1871 and 3l,500,O00 today.

ROTANISTS DENY THAT
MISTLETOE HURTS TREE
Roots Do Not Grow Into Bark,
but Lodge There

Modern botanists incline to acquit the mistletoe
altogether of the charge Of being injurious
parasite. They describe its relationship with the
tree upon which 1t grows merely as that OF
self supporting lodger with his landlord; and
some even 90 so far as to assert that the mistle-
toe does not grow into the tree at all nor even
.senetrate the bark What happens they say. is
fhat the mistleto merely attaches itself to the
tree the substance OF which grows round 1t year
bv wear Hence. when the roots of mstletoe are
found deeply embedded in the wood. this only
shows how long the plant has been growing there.
The editor of Countryside does not, however,
agree with this theory.

TIGER CAUSES REIGN

French VilIager Spreads Report
of Beast i'm Forest

Since New Years day the people of
the old Champagne department OF
France have been in a state of ferment
In fact in certain villages a reign of
terror exists, says the London Globe.
1t is believed that the forest in Songy.
in Marine, is sheltering a tiger One
villager saw the terrible beast, and
since then he has been seen by others,
but all attempts to hunt the tiger have
failed. The question arises, if there is
any truth in the report, and the beast
is a tigress, how long will it be before
there are a hundred roaming over
France, for the forests with their ex-
tent and their abundant supplies OF
game and the temperate climate, would
offer facilities for tigers to breed. 1t
is more than likely the Songy tiger is
creature of the imagination.
