was very glad to receive your note which ar
rived here only two days ago II s good to know
that one is remembered by friends home We have
during the last month been through experiences
which made US think Of the homeland for it Ger.
tainly looked at times n VIC might not again see
II! Perhaps you would be Interested in knowing how
II all looked to 'insider."
Mexico has been fun Of disorder. Iawlesness and
ooodshed during the last four years that thousands
OF Americans have left the country especially those
living in the interior. Even here in the city hundreds
have left, but most Of had remained, thinking
that there could be little danger least the cap
tai where there are so many foreigners and where
the center Of organized government was located
Then suddenly came the "Tampico incident" the
news of which for time suppressed by the
government, but which, when finally got out
aroused the people to high pitch of excitement
When we thought this about settled Din the
meantime many OF the tmorous mad lefD there
came the startling intelligence that vera Curz had
been captured by the Americans-and then pande-
monum broke loose, indeed.
Apparently the American government claims that
this was not act of war in spite OF the fact
that Mexicos chief seaport was taken and several
hundreds of Its citizens killed. But the govern
ment here considered II and Mexican impotence
saved the United states from having bloody strug
gle on its hands (as II may have YETI The news u
the landing of the American marines at Vera Cruz
reached Mexico city in the afternoon Of the same
day and thousands Of flaming extras" soon
out, calling the nation to war The government Of
fices and many large commercial establishments
closed down and the streets were full Of ex-
cited thousands wrought to a dangerous degree Of
anger enthusiasm and patriotism self-appointed
leaders appeared and the blaze was famed by
inflamatory harangues by student orators and gov
ernment clerks, actually sent on the streets for this
purpose by high government officials. Great pro-
cessions formed parade the streets and the
cry of 'Muera los Gringos!" (''Kill the Ameri-
csns!') became the battle-cry. AS preliminary TO
the real business of killing they began to attack the
American business houses, tearing down shutters and
signs, stonng windows, etc. In few some
looting also done. but not much.

One thing is certain. that IL there not hun

ment. l have never heard OF any action outra-
geous, mean false and lying that OF the
papers here. American yellow journals not in
the same class There is also not the slightest
doubt that they were all inspired in their campaign
by the goveInment-Qor in Mexico you know, there
is no opposition independent press. The
papers either support the government and approve
all OF its acts, else their offices closed and
their editors take quarters in the government pson)
Indeed. It is to a suggestive fact that in spite
Of ali this Indictment violence and crime yet not
a single American killed in this city. II really
speaks we'll for the majority OF the Mexican people
that they led astray into terrible exeesses
and even though thousands greatly wrought up
up yet the mass of the people took part in the
disturbances To II is also cause of salts

Our Mexican assistants here in the association urged

A NICE TIME.

Last Sunday in company with
VIM. Hollenbaugh, DR.. Homer,
Mrs. Harry Gahagan and daugh-
ter, Faye. the editor and family
took a ride in the horseless car
riage (automobile) into the north
east part of the county. On our
way out there we passed several
places worthy Of mention, among
which were d. W. Swickert, who
had nice clean field of fodder
all put up ready for winter use;
next W as John Reuter-. who also
had a nice field of feed put up in
fine shape for the winter; next
was Carl Bleifeld's large field
of different kinds of feed stuff
put up in splendid shape for the
winter; next was the teld of
Charley Funk, and from there
we pass to the fine home of j. II.
Bidinger, whose large fields of
feed made one think Of the fine
fields in the east and their beau
tiful surroundings around their
residence shows thrift and pros
perity. From there we went to
the farm Of G.. w. Rudolph to at
tend the watermelon feast and
by the time we arrived there,
there was a large crowd assem-
bled from nearly all parts of the
county doing justice to melons
which George had slowed in the
tank Of water to cool for his Wis
itors, which were many. George
certainly deserves much praise
for his kindness, and hospitality
in treating the people of this coun-
ty to such a feast. but when it
comes to hospitality the farmers
Of Eastern Colorado cannot be
excelled anywhere.

Dear Friend:

l have decided to
write to you now and then SO
that you will not forget me. A
great many people DO not wish to
be forgotten and Lam. one of
them. That is, do not wish
my friends to forget me | have
no objection. if my creditors
and enemies forget me in a hur-
ry and never be reminded,
Well, this old world is very
l.uch alike all over. For even
here in the world famous Mani
tou, the place where Dukes and
Princeses come to navel, people
must eat, sleep, drinl, and
breathe to keep body and soul to-
gether just as they are forced to
do out on the so called dried up
plains. Indeed / was very much
disappointed in the mountains
when | first saw them. They
seemed SO much like an over
grown rock pile. and at that
only few hundred feet high.
l have changed my mind how
ever since l ,keeanie more init
mately acquainted with them.
Why some years ago a prince
and princess of Belgium visited
the very spot where l write. |
begin to like the mountains more
as | learn to know them. But |
do not think it will change my
feelings for the dear old plains.
This is busy world up here and
my time is up. Tomorrow school
begins. That will make me more
busy. l don't mind it, l just
love to wade in and make the
spray fly. 1t makes a fellow
feel good. | will stop now.
Very sincerely your friend,
ELMER ScHUELKE.
