79ULD you believe that I sell

w more than 1000 of these
Mexican war postcards each
month"; c. U. Williams, the man with
the "get-yOur- hOme-tOwn-paper call
on Oregon street asked. We'll, do,
and will exceed this number next month
F. if the interest in Mexican affairs con-
( tinues. Since opened my newspaper
stand here il March I have sold more
than 5000 of these war views and the
demand is brisker now than ever. The
man from whom 1 buy my cards is kept
busy supplying the trade with views of
Juarez, the federal and rebel soldiers
and other Mexican views He gets the
orders in lots Of 1000 and sends them
out all along the Mexican border,
where they are sold and mailed back
east Many men have collections Of
them and watch the stand for new
views like the movie fans do the dis
play cards at the motion picture the
aters. MaderO is one Of my best sellers,
with villa a close second and Huerta

Better handling OF parcels post
packages, a better system Of tracing
and a more rapid way of receiving
these packages, and the parcels post
postmaster George Wilton. TT is now
grown TO be our most popular special
DIVISION OF the poStofflce service and
the recent victory Of postmaster Burle-
son over congress will make it even
more popular by increasing the weight
limit and lowering the zone rates. The
worst trouble is in handling the par
GELS post packages No special proyis-
ion has been made for them and they
are showed in bag and mail sacks
piled on TOP of them A straw hat
arrived the other day that was about
an inch nigh after a mail sack had
rested on its bosom all the way from
the east Then the system of tracing
packages IS not the best and there IS
no certainty that these packages will
be traced in six days or six weeks.
But the parcels post is young vet and
viii be perfected in time. It has proved
boon to the farmers of the middle
west and east and IS growing more pop
ular each day"
Ny ideas Of Mexico and its present
crisis have found expression in the
sunset Magazine IN an article by an
Englishman," said Charles R Fttz-
maurice, clerk at the St Regis hotel
That article deals with Mexico from a
purely economic basis and does not con
tain any facuOnal arguments. The
article plainly says that the United
states viii have to intervene sooner or
later and that all thinking men reccg-
nlze the fact, whether they like the
idea or not. The article is right in
saying that there is no one in Mexico
able TO restore peace and that the
United States must do it or reduce its
prestige % zero in Latin-America."
