The turkey, the American bird,
was very much in demand for
yesterdays dinner. The turkey
IS not the only bird Of interest
just now. The old family hen is
an important factor in the affairs
Of today. There is a worldwide
demand for eggs and the price is
climbing high. 1t has been sug-
gested that a boycott be inaugu-
rated against the egg, but this
will hardly be done although the
price does 60 mountain high. The
egg plays too important a part in
our daily menu to ever be elimina-
ted. We must admit. however,
with eggs quoted at five cents a
piece, the cackle of the barnyard
hen is music ID the air.

dependent demo r.t should head it.

MEXICAN SITUATION

Conditions in Mexico are much
disturbed. It is the belief at
Washington that .Huerta's gov.
eminent is slowly crumbling, and
our administration seems inclined
to give it all the time to fall it
needs. There are several disturb
ing factors in Mexico that make
it a very difficult problem to de-
termine what is the real situation.
Mexico has a population of about
100000. Thee. federal army
consists Of something over $4,000
men. Thessrebels who are oper-
ating in small bands have about
half that number. The small bands
sperating--..all over the country,
and in most cases, out for loot and
nothing else, though calling
themselves. rebel, number about
another $4,000.
Thus it will be seen that about
100000 men are keeping coun-
try of 100000 in state of dis
order. There are no decisive bat
ties being fought and an early set
Element of the trouble between the
warning elements is not very like
ly, The people who are not mem
bers Of the army are trying to fol-
low their. occupations as far as cir
cumstances will permit and many
of them have but little concern as
to which faction will be successful.
They find their greatest trouble in
preventing the alleged soldiers
from holding them up and reliev-
ing them of their belongings.
1t is very unfortunate indeed
that body Of men who impress
the country as being out for re-
venge, or wholesale loot, should
give the country the annoyance
and cause so much concern as
these Mexican soldiers and leaders
are doing.

We hear less political talk than

The farmers are about through
gathering their crops. We do not
know time when the crops were
as nearly all gathered at this season
of the year as they are now. The
cotton has practically all been sold
and good price received. The
corn crop, while not 50 large as
somtimes. is selling at a very sat
isfactory price. Hogs and meat
are high. The farmer is getting a
good price for everything be has,
and really has more money this
fall than for many years before.
