lars to pave the streets of Managua
the capital city.
Houses Of Adobe.
Managua is a typical city of Central
America and is built almost entirely
that used all through Mexico and parts
of the United States. The walls are
thick and keep out the heat. Rooted
with tile. these houses are attractive
to the eye, especially at distance.
but cover them with corrugated iron
and they have little beauty.
Nicaragua Is land of fruit and
birds and flowers. Nature evidently
meant it to be a paradise. but per.
mitted 1t to fall into bad hands. ALL.
gator pears. a costly luxury in New
York. are cheap enough for beggars in
Managua-and there are plenty OF
beggars to eat them. Oranges and
pineapples are at their best there. and
very plentiful. and the natives make
free use Of what they term the choco-
late tree. because a beverage made
from the seeds of the flowers u as
delicate and palatable as chocolate.
Salvador is an independent little
country just above Nicaragua and
overshadowed by Honduras and Qua,
temaia. but next to Haiti It IL the
most densely populated Of all the
American republics. The steamers
stop at La Union and La Libertad.
both small places. where conditions
are exceedingly primitive. At La Lib
ertad saw a woman grinding corn
and she was doing 1t by means Of two
stones. the lower stone. which was
somewhat followed, resting on the
wide tongue of huge oxcart.
Always does Salvador keep a sharp
eye on her northern neighbor, turbu.
lent Guatemala. but of late years that
country has been occupied with its
own affairs. Nominally a republic,
Guatemala is actually governed by .
despot.
Our stops at the towns Of San Bias
and Acapulco on the west coast of
Mexico we're full of interest. Acapul-
co has a natural harbor, said to be
the best with one exception in the
whole world. being surpassed only by
that at Sidney. Australia.
San Bias is very different in its
characteristics. most OF the houses be-
ing thatched. This is an important
port and favorable fishing place.
And Mexican fisherman is an inter
esting individual to look at. On his
head he wears hat of gigantic pro-
portions, but his feet are bare. except.
perhaps. for rough sandals. Their
hats are the chief concern of the Mex.
leans. and they treasure them as care
fully as an American woman her Eas-
ter bonnet. Western Mexico Is filled
with opportunities for development
and with the opening of the canal
there doubtless would dawn a new era
were 1t not for the internal dissen-
sions which keep out foreign capital
and stand as constant bar to prog
ress.

BANK CHIEF CUTS SALARIES.
Commissioner Pfeiffsr Orders Institu.
tion to Reduce Expenses.

Commissioner Pfeiffer Orders Institu-
tion to Reduce Expenses.
Denyer.-Bankers who were not en-
tirely in sympathy with the new state
banking code, adopted at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature. have. during
the last few weeks, become support
ers of the law which for the first
time made the office OF the state
banking commissioner one of import
ance and dignity by giving the incum-
bent authority to remedy abuses
which. under the old law, he had no
power tc check.
Two instances, in which Commits
sioner Pfeiffer used his authority for
the benefit OF the banking commu-
nifty as well as the safeguarding Of de-
positors, practically have changed
sentiment regarding the new act. In
one of these the commissioner, after
examining concern in the city. de-
termined that its expenses were en-
tirely too large. forced the directors
to cut the salary of the president
from 10000 to $500 q year and re-
duced the salaries paid to two other
officers from $4,000 to $4,000. respec-
lively. to $1,000 each. In every other
item the bank was in excellent condi-
tion and its affairs carefully man
aged. and the reduction Of salaries
merely insures the safety of the fast
growing deposits.
In the other, Mr.. Pfeiffer discov-
cred that . bank, capitalized at $685.
coo, held among It's securities loan
of $4,000 on second mortgage on =
residence. This loan the comnis-
sioner refused to approve. and the
borrower was forced to pay 1t off.

The farmer is now engaged in
work not to his liking, and some
thing he does not have to do or
dinarily-in fact not once in a
quarter of a &c ntury-and that is
to feed his stock right at a time
when they ought to be on pasture,
and watering them at a time
when there ought to be water in
the pastures but there 10 not.
Many farmers are now hauling
water for their stock.
If it ever rains wheat that is
already in will come up, and
wheat that is to be put in will
have a chance. But If II does
not rain pretty soon we are afraid
the first moisture in this country
will be snow.
The silos in this country are
about all filled and lucky Is the
farmer who has a silo. There
will be hundreds of them built
next year..
Saturday, Sept. Is, will be A.
H. T. A. day in Baxter Springs.
On that day there will be a big
crowd in Baxter Springs-if il
rains in the meantime, and there
will be a big crowd anyway.

Dear Sir:-I wish to call your
attention to Chapter 107, Page
1T, Session Laws of 1913, an
act relating to cities of the First
and Second class.
This law went into effect Mar.
1S, 1913, and provided that with
in six months time householders
should provide receptacles Of
iron, steel, stone, brick or &C.
ment in which to. deposit matter
referred to in Section 1 of the
law. The list of Accommodations
mentioned is extensive enough tc
include practically all trash Of
every description. Whenever
the receptacle is filed the con-
tents shall be taken beyond the
city limits to be burned OF
buried. This is to be done at the
expense of the householder, but
of course it is within the power
of cities to make provision for it.
September IS marks the final
time for householders to provide
themselves with receptacles. The
penalty for violation is a maxi
mum fine of 500, or 80 days in
Jail, or both. In reading the
law, you will note that the space
between the rear of business es'
Adjustments and the alley, is
subject to the same provisions as
the alley in the matter of accu'
mutations.
Very truly,
Harrison Parkman,
Fire Marshal.
