ing attempted to end his life by shooting
himself in the head with arevolver The
shooting occurred on the David Carey
farm, about FIVE miles west of Lima.
The bullet penetrated the flesh just back

Five years ago Mr.. Forney was a we'll

He owned farm lands and had a happy
home Then death entered the home

From that time forth he has been a
changed man. He has worried contin-

The clearing house would be under

would not have been a mistaken policy
to induce foreign capital to invest in
Mexico If there had been among the
ruling Mexican classes a proper sense
of their responsibility to the great
mass of Mexican population.
For the bulk practically nothing has
been done. They have been held in
the bondage of poverty, ignorance and
hopelessness for centuries until the
time of reckoning has arrived.
The difficulty of the situation, in
the light of these statistics, is appall-
ing, and it indicates the farreaching
reimbursement that will have to be
made before Mexico can ever be said
to have a stable native government.
Manifestly, the Americans and for
eigners who have gone into Mexico on
the invitation of the sovereign gov
eminent invested their capital, estab.
lished industries, built homes and
brought to Mexico modern opportuni-
ties. cannot be expected to lose the
results OF their money and toll, and 1t
is Just as true that some plan must
be devised to bring opportunity and
Justice to the 100000 humans who
compose the downtrodden mass of
Mexican population.
1t is the duty of the United States
government to protect these Ameri-
cans in their rights, and to protect
Europeans as well, unless we conclude
to abrogate the Monroe Doctrine. This
must be done, however upon broad
and intelligent plan that will admit
of opportunity for the Mexican masses.
The great natural resources of Mexico
must be shared more equitably with
the Mexican people, and in way to
establish the people upon the land
and to place within their reach all
necessary agencies of enlightenment
and civilization.
1t is looking at the statistics we
quote that shows how impossible it is
for the United States to shirk the
Mexican problem. 1t isn't property
only but it is American homes and
American life, foreign homes and for
egn life, and ultimately the life of the
Mexican Nation.
We can fancy how glad the South
would have been to have the benefit
of the great outpouring of capital that
has gone into Mexico. and there were
opportunities here, but the Mexican
problem must be dealt with as it is,
not as we would prefer it to have
been-Houston Post.

TO FIHoI oRAssHoPPERs.
Farmers Urged to Cooperate With
Commercial Club in Fight on Pest.

Grasshoppers have made their ap.
pearance in different portions of the
county in great numbers, especially in
places in the Brazos bottom. There
was quite lot OF damage done by
these pests last year, and by their ap.
pearance this early In the season the
probabilities are that they will do
much damage this year from the fact
that they appear to be in much great
er numbers than last year. The agri.
cultural committee of the Commercial
Club has taken the matter in hand of
inaugurating a systematic fight on this
pest before 1t gets too great a start,
and of course 1t is going to require
the full cooperation of every farmer
whose fields are infested by this pest.
This committee cannot do II, one man
cannot do it, and Just part of the
farmers cooperating will never do it.
There is a way to eradicate this pest
by poisoning, but 1t must be done in
the right manner at the right time,
and the right time is just as quick as
possible before the young hoppers get
large enough to fly and scatter over
too much territory. The right manner
will be given in the field when the
farmer gets ready to have the work
done. Now the writer knows that for
the next month every farm hand that
can be gotten will be pressed into
service in cleaning out the crops. but
it will avail very little for man to
work himself to exhaustion on weeds
and grass and then have grasshoppers
destroy large portions of his crops
after they are cleaned out. So the
thing to do where you have grass
hoppers is to spend little time now
while you can effectively poison them.
And inasmuch as the Commercial Club
has seen fit to make a proposition to
cooperate in this fight with the farm
ers, besides bearing the expense of
the poison to parties who are not able
to pay for it themselves, it seems that
we can reasonably expect the full CO.
operation of every man whose farm
is infested with these pests to go
right into the fight now while the
work can be done cheaply and eff
fectually, and not wait until the crops
are being eaten up. and the pests are
so large that it will be next to impso-
sible to reach them at all.
