While immediate attention is di-
rected to the critical situation in Mex
leo, and public sentiment rapidly is
forming as to intervention, it may be
Of value to know some of the import
ant physical facts about a country in
which the United States already has
vast commercial interest and may, be-
fore we know it, have actual, living
responsibility, says the Register and
Leader.
Mexico has an area of 765,535l
square miles. 1t is two and a half
times as big as Texas, and thirteen
times as big as Iowa. 1t has 5000
900 population, two fifths OF whom
are Indians, and the remainder a mix
ed lndian-European breed, aside from
Americans and other pure blood peo-
pie, whose number is incidental. 1t
has 5000 miles of railway, while
Iowa has 10000 miles. 1t has 30, 900
miles of telegraph lines and 5000
postoffices.
Its exports last year amounted to
about $3.50, 100000 and its imports
to $100,000,O Its exports chiefly
are metals. American money and la
Dor largely have developed and oper-
ate the mining, milling, railway and
ranching enterprises OF the country.
1t was Sept. IS, 1874, that General
Scott entered Mexico City and put an
END to the war as an outcome of which
we took over Texas, New Mexico and
California for 1000, 900. Since then
there has been a constant stream of
investment flowing from the United
States to Mexico despite the constant
~ recurring cry of the ignorant Mex
lean against the foreigner"
That 10000 Mexicans came to the
United States last year may be a fact
iiiuminative of the sort of relations
which should exist but do not seem
10 under the Madero management of
the internal affairs of this volatile.

and settling by agreement or appraisal
the damages to property along the
route Of the viaduct.
The city reserves the right to enter
upon that part Of the avenue vacated

water mains or wire conduits.
The city is to accept the plans SUD-

The city is to keep Third avenue

RUDY WINS CASE

judge Nichols Dismissss Suit Brought
BY j. z, Pewsrs-ceurt Holds Rudy
10 Mentally observation-disclosures May
Sue on Contract.
Basing his ruling principally on the
holding that D. "A. Rudy IL below nor
NAL mentally, Judge Nichols this fore-
noon dismissed the suit brought
against Rudy by J. L. Powers, also of
near, Liscomb Judge Nichols anT
nounced his ruling as soon as the case
had been submitted.
Powers sued Rudy to compel him 10
perform under contract for the trade
Of 100 acres of land Powers owns In
Miner county, South Dakota, for a
farm owned by Rudy in Liscomb town
ship. The costs will be assessed to
Powers unless a motion Is sustained
to reassess the costs.
The court held in substance that the
case should be dismissed because Rudy
was not capable Of transacting such
trade to his own best interest. On this
particular point Judge Nichols said:
when two men Of anywhere near
equal ability go into trade 1t is not
the special province OF the court or
equity to interfere, hut can not help
but feel that in this case Mr.. Rudy.
while he is not of unsound mind, Is
man of very low mental caliber. He
lacks a great deal of being an ordinary
man as to his mental condition. can
not say he's exactly a fool, but he's got
many Of the characteristics of sim
pie minded man.
Judge Nichols did not hold that
Powers had misrepresented the Dakota
farm, as had been alleged. He said, 1T
was not necessary for Powers to mis-
represent" but all that it was neces-
sary for Powers to do was to lead
Rudy on by limitations and differences.
The court belikened Rudy to fish
eager and ready to grab and gobble
down a bait that was offered him
without stopping to reason whether or
not he was acting for his best inter-
ests.
Powers has still the right to sue un-
der the contract, which the courts de-
cision does not set aside, but that ac-
ton would be one at law, triable by
Jury.

IIndsr Real Estate Laws.

A mans interest in real estate un-
der the laws of the United States ex-
tends from the middle Of the earth
to the blue empyreaD. But II p man
neglects to enclose his property, there
is no jury In the country likely to
convict another man Of trespass for
taking a sh0rt cut across one corner
Of 1t. And, by the same token, under
existing laws, a property owner would
haxe to enclose his share Of the sky
before he could hope to convict an

To retain youth you must cultivate

become complex and expensive the
soul becomes stiff and cramped. To
love simple food and drink, simple
methods of play, simple speech, and,
above all, the manifest simplicities OF
nature, makes red blood. Resist the
