This pace is expected to continue for
the next few months as there are
scores of dwellings and some business
buildings in contemplation.
The realty men were SO busy this
week that they did not have time to
stop to talk about the sales they have
made. In fact it has been difficult
to catch them in their offices. There
has been a large amount of inquiry
relative to the purchase of property
and doubtless many sales will be re-
ported.
There has been a notable increase in
the volume of business transacted by
out of town shoppers who take advan-

firing energies to the work of push
ing through Congress tariff bill

and incidentally reducing the pro-
fessIonal politicians to a pulp-and
Mr. Bryan, the secretary of State,

cults, there hangs upon our southern
border and over the adjacent repub-
lie of Mexico storm cloud that may
at any moment burst.
1--WE should not wait for it to
burst. We should take no chances
in the lottery of war. At this moment
the government of the United States
should be in conference with the gov
eminent of Great Britain as to how
best to deal with a situation most
to both.
ENGLAND has as great territorial
interests in North America as we
have. In British Honduras she lies,
as we do in Texas and Arizona, di-
rectly alongside of Mexico. Perhaps
as many of her citizens live and as
much of her money is embarked In
Mexico as we ourselves can claim.
There Is no reason why we may
not invite England to. join us in put

He will lay the exact situation in
