We are being eternally told that the
stone roads are built for the far
mers' benefit. and then we run up
against some such a law as this
which is for their almost immeasur-

is "candy-kd" affair that will not
stand the traffic of auto-vans or other
heavy travel.
The further truth is that many laws

is pointed out that the resignation OF
Manuel CalerO, the Mexican ambassa-

three months, primarily for the pur-
pose Of restoring peace, but incidental :
ly, according to the Mexican perss, to
prevent the downfall Of the Madero re-
gime.
