FAMINE.

Perhaps there has been no time in
Mexico during many months. when many
people in Mexico have not suffered for
lack Of food. here and there. all over the
republic. Yet Mexico has a wonderful
soil and d wonderful climate. Its peo<
pie are hardy and abstemious in The
matter of food. Their simple wapxs are
easily supplied. Whatever NATURAL APP
titide for luxury may be theirs in com.
mon with other men, theiY lot has been
so cast for generationsT that they have
not lived Pampered likes. Such foods as
seems to be Necessity to them they easily
produce. Warfafe of the kind they have
been wagingy while it brings inconceiv-
able distress in general. is not so de-
structiye of men in large masses as it
may Seem TO us. Nevertheless it can
NOT go on with impunity 10 %eternally
Without piling up calamity enormously
sooner or later. 1t must groNs worse and
worse until it reaches frightfnl pro-
portions. This year the stories of ia
mine grow steadily worse. Returns are
beginning to come in from the Red Cross
society. A famine area has appeared in
the mountain regions of northeastern
Sinaloa. Actual famine exists there.
over an area Of over 6 400 square miles.
The famine area is in a mountain re-
gion. probably not very productive at
best and Hard to reach for relief pur-
poses. even in time of peace. Other
stories of growing distress are reaching
us frequently. This week the Red Cross
society reports the distribution of $500
for relief purposes at NOgales. 1t does
not require any special gift of prophecy
to forsee that stories of this kind will
grow more frequent, Itmay indeed hap
pen that they will seriously change the
whole aspects of our relations tO that
country. Humanity may demand Of us
some particular attention to those as
poets OF the ease. AS a humane peo-
pc we should not be found wanting
we shall not be found wanting-when it
comes to relief of actual suffering. All
that an enlightened generous nation
may do we will do; and in that we shall
have generous help from the world. A
famine. however. must be dealt with
from both sides. from the side of relief.
and from the side Of its cause. 1t may
be we shall have to concern ourselves
with causes before we shall be able to
satisfy ourselves and the civilized
world,

A. f. Bagley in speaking of the dam
age lone in the Brazos bottoms by rea-
son of the late floods SAYS: millions
of pecans were washed into the Gulf of
Mexico from the BrazOria district. The
pecan crop was better this year than
eyer before. and the farmers were all
planning on making big money off their
pecan trees. 1t so happens that the
majority OF the pecan trees grow in the
low parts of the country. so they were
beginning to be washed away early in
the week. As the farmers had not time
to gather E..iny of them yet the ground
under the trees was literally covered
with pecans. The loss to the cane crop
will also be great."-TeXas StOckman
