Legislation Important.

Great stress has been laid by the adj
ministration upon the need of enact
ing these measures into law SO as to
safeguard the interests of the govern
ment in the large coal, oil and phos-
phate deposits in the public domain,
and also to prevent the resources from
being monopolized by big interests
should they be opened to ownership.
The bills provide IA system of leasing
the coal. oil and phosphate lands, and
for leasing waterrower on the streams
controlled by the federal government.
The leasing bills will meet with
strong opposition in the Senate from
senators who represent public land
states in the west Senator Shafroth of
Colorado is one of the strongest oppo-
nents OF the proposed leasing system
in the Senate. He contends that the
lands should be opened to entry and
ownership by the residents of the

Tin Cans May Be Used.

Tin Cans May Be Used.
A housewife who desires a fa,,- ,o+,sa
plants. but does not possess the regula-
tion flower pots, may prepare tin cans
that will be quite satisfactory. A small,
hole should be made in the bottom of
the can and a piece of broken crockery
or few stones put in the bottom of
the can before the earth is added, in
order to give the proper drainage The
stones or crockery also should be used
in the regular flower pot
Hanging baskets may be used advan-
tageously to make an indoor winter
garden attractive. They should be
hung near a light window.
II geranlumS are potted SO that the
root growth is restricted. and if they
are kept fairly dry. they may be forced
are attractive in the ordinary window
box because of their foliage alone
They should not be placed in a window
box with the expectation that they will
bear flowers.
Ferns as they come from the florists
prepared for indoor culture should be
placed in strong light. though they
grow well without sunlight. They
should be watered sparingly, but should
be kept moist at all times Improper
soaked or permitting it to get dry, is
the foundation of most fern difficulties.
1t is especially difficult not to over
water when the fern is in a jardiniere.
where drainage Is necessarily poor. In
spring and summer they will require
three times the water necessary in
fall and winter.
Need an Occasional Bath.
1t is well occasionally to put them in
the bathtub and give them a bath with
weak soapsuds made from good grade
of soap. The soap must be thoroughly
rinsed off Immediately. Great care
must be exercised not to injure the
fronds, as they are very tender. Mealy
bug is one of the worst enemies i'll
house culture. This is white, woody
insect that works close to the bottom
of the fronds. If found. the plant
should be examined every day and all
insects removed by a splint or tooth
pick If the pest is very bad, cut off
all the top fern within an inch OF the
ground. treat thoroughly each day
until all insects are eXterminated, when
a new top can be grown.
Red spider is a minute sucking in
sect that thrives in a dry atmosphere.

Anti-Americanism is a reality in
Mexico! We Americans are hated as
a people, we are hated as a nation. =,
Why do the Mexicans hate us?
Primarily and fundamentally be-
cause they are Spanish Indian, while
we are Anglo-Saxon. Our charac-
teristics are profoundly different. Our
ways of looking at things are diff
ferent. We despise the Mexicans, be-
cause they differ from us; they hate
us because we differ from them.
We have sent them quantities of
adventures who have gone there to
"show them how to do things" They
think everything in Mexican methods
is mistake; they will Introduce
real American methods" But in a
thousand ways American methods of
business are ill-adapted to Mexican
surroundings, and the attempt to
force them upon the country is pure
folly. No other foreigners who go to
Mexico make that attempt Even the
English do not. and the Germans, the
French and Italians adapt themselves
to the conditions of the country as
far as possible, and not the condi-
lions of the country to their own
ideas. So there exists between them
and the Mexicans a much better feel
ing than between the latter and our
selves.
Another reason the Mexicans do
not love us is that they have had
small reason to admire our official
representatives among them. Our
consular service the world over has
been laughing stock; particularly
has it been a disgrace in Mexico.
Often our representatives there have
