SNtVCIVS0U tuVVosuuOusS 80 sVS~'~~'
It is estimated that American in
vestments in Mexico aggregate a total
of $1,O57, 10000. or this total rail-
road stocks and bonds aggregate
$644, 100000. Mines and smelters are
next with total of $249, 100000. OF
Mexico's state bond issues, Americans
hold $52,O00,O00. In the oil industry
American holdings are estimated at
$15,OOO,OO0, with like investment In
the rubber industry. The principal
department stores Of Mexico City,
Guadalajara and several other Next
can cities are American-owned. The
principal drug stores Of the nation
have American proprietors. and the
largest soap factory in the country 10
owned by an American, as Is the larg-
est shoe factory. Most of the mines
and smelters owned by Americans are
in the territory now controlled by Car
rama and Villa. While Americans are
responsible for other phases Of indus
trial development, including electric
light and power plants and electric
street railway systems, the projects
were financed by British and French
bankers through the Pearson-FarQuhar
syndicate. American investments are
regarded as being In as unfavorable q
| condition at this time as they will be
later in the event of general war.

A recent statement issued by the
United States government shows that
the Argentine old corn which came to
New York during December and JAN
uary of this season averaged 1871 per
cent moisture or &C per cent less than
the average moisture of new corn
shipped from Central Illinois in De-
cember and January. From the stand
point OF tie moisture contest alone,
this difference was figured as equal to
3-sc per bushel in favor Of the Ar
gentine corn. The chemical analysis
of the corn shows 5.55 per cent oil
content in Argentine against 5.07 pei
cent in American, 11.01 per cent pro

Mr.. O. A. Bowen Talks On Roads

Mr.. 0. A. Bowen, of Beat 5
Monroe county, was in town yes
terday and paid US a call, Dur
ing the conversation with him
the talk turned to roads. He
was asked as to the condition of
the roads leading into O6olOna
from his section. He stated that
the rock road from Blackwell's
Chapel was fine, but that the dirt
roads were in very poor condition.
And went futher and stated that
the roads not under contract
were better than those worked
by contract He expressed a desire
to see the plans and specifications
of the road from the rock road
at Blackwell to L. L. Bakers pub
Iished, stating that there was
dissatisfaction as to the present
condition and did not know who
to lay the blame to. He said
that there were others of the
same mind, and that m a n y
thought that if the roads could
not be made better under the
contract system than they are
now, it would be better not tc
have them so worked. In view
of the fact that the Messenger
has general circulation in that
section of Monroe county, We
would be pleased to publish free
of all costs, the plans referred tC
by Mr.. Bowen.
