Carranza

Since the voluntary abdication OF Huerta,
Carranza, the leader of the Constitutlonalists,
looms up as the most conspicuous figure IN
Mexico It now seems inevitable that out OF all
the anarchy and the chaos, under which Welter
Mexico has been smothering for the past two
years, this man will emerge as the most unlver-
sally recognized Mexican leader. What KIND OF
man must he be to have done this important
thing?
According to those who have been with him
and who speak with the authority OF personal
experience, Carranza has the general appearance
of a prosperous New England farmer. Until
near the close of Diaz' long reign, he was content
to be landowner, although he was once the
governor of the state of Coahuila.
But in spite of this venture into politics, he
has never had the splurge and personal popular
ity of the professional politician. In his home
locality, he has always been looked upon as some
what of a recluse. His chief delight seems to be
reading and when pressing duties are out OF the
way and social obligations fulfilled, it is said he
can almost always be found with book in hand.
His voice is quiet and gentle and he moves with
calm deliberateness.
Thus far, Carranza is the only leader recog-
mixed by all the rebel chiefs. How does it come
that man of his type should be able to COM
mand the respect OF these Savages! The answer
cannot be found. It is mystery, though some
observers say his power lies in the cool self pos
session and perfect poise which seem to cow the
most rambunctious spirits of the fighting camps
into something like submission.
1T is the peonage system! the peonage sys-
tenn that has caused us all our trouble" exclaimed
Carranza to an American correspondent "Our
big landowners are greedy, over-bearing and
hard-hearted. They force lot of poor farm
aborers to move on to their great plantations,
then force them to buy all their stuff at private
stores. They soon fall into debt and since Next
can laws forbid man to move if he owes money,
they become nothing more than slaves, powerless
to escape from the plantation owner, who COM
pels them to do more work for less money This
system has squeezed the life out of my people,
It is against this they are rebelling"
But how shall the revolution be brought
about that will free the peon from his bondage
and restore the Mexican to the land? That is

Street Oiling for the Fall

When few New England towns began the
practice OF street oiling, more conservative COM
monwealths made considerable sport of the ex-
pertinent. These burgs that had always been
content with sprinkling their streets with water
couldn't possibly see any good in this absurd
practice of smearing sticky, black oil on the sur
face of thoroughfares.
Those who are not up on thing usually are
down on it," Towns which first hooted at the
method, later came to tolerate it and even to adj
nit there might be something in it. AS they
came to understand the philosophy of it better,
street oiling came into increasing prominence
and wider use. Those who had first hooted at it
and later looked upon it as a mere luxury of the
well-to-do,- came to consider it very common
sense plan for disposing of the dust nuisance
AT this writing, street oiling has become a
necessity. And it is practically certain that in
few years the town which does not oil it's streets
will be as much rarity as was few years ago
the town that did.
Street oiling saves the street and prevents
It's blowing away by inches. It saves goods that
are exposed to dust in stores and homes. It
makes walking along the pavements more COM
Portable to pedestrians and riding more pleasant
to drivers and automobilists.
Except for the unfortunate delay which
brought street oiling in the middle of July in
stead OF the middle of May, Richmond people are
very well pleased with the way the streets have
been oiled this summer. But why be content with
this summer oiling? Why not have another
application made in the fall? A great deal of dust
lies about IN the winter and, owing to the greater
frequency of wind storms, it is kept more con-
stantly in motion. Shows come late in this COM
munity and there is no doubt but that oiline
streets would be a great convenience even until
after the Holidays. House windows NAV be
closed in winter but dust gets in in spite of them
Oiling would keep the houses cleaner until spring
and thus would make spring house-cleanine
easier for the housewives.

POULTRY YARD

Skim milk is one Of the best foods
for laying hens and growing chickens.
1t provides cheap form of protein
and gives excellent results.
The milk may be fed sweet or sour,
but it is not advisable to change from
one to the other Either feed the milk
sweet all the time or allow it all to
sour. Many poultrymen consider the
sour milk better for young chickens,
and think it will be less likely to cause
bowel trouble.
Some make it practice where large
quantities Of milk are available to
evaporate it to very thick curd.
Protein is necessity in the ration
for egg production, and also for the
rapid growth of young fowls. Milk
fed chickens have unusually tender
flesh Of excellent flavor.

Grow Fruit In the
Rio Grande Valley

The fruit industry is yet in its in
fancy. In fact it is only five years ago
that the railroad was completed into
this valley. Already this short branch
of road from Harrington west, in a dis
lance of 40 miles, contributes over 60
per cent of all of the freight of the st.
L., b. Il NJ. II. r., which is over 400
miles in length. So concerned are the
railroad men over the future of the val
ley and what it will produce that two
other lines r proposed and IN al
ready under construction. This means
that there will be easy transportation
for all of the fruit grown. In adj
dition the United States government
has undertaken to deepen Point Isabel
Harbor, just twenty miles east of
Brownsville, and this will mean ship
transportation and low freight rates.
This deep water harbor will also mean
much in the development of the coun-
try when the Panama Canal is complet-
ed, being on the through route for
steamers from Galveston, New Orleans
and Mobile to the canal. In a very
few years it will be possible to ship
any surplus fruit from the valley di-
rect to European markets by boat. 1t
is no stretch of the imagination to see
that there is a wonderful future for
this valley in fruit. Should there be a
surplus, just as surely there will be
drying and preserving companies to
take care of it. At no time in the his
tory of the United States has there
been such a demand for canned and
dried fruits as exists today. Ask any
wholesale merchant if this is not true.

and culture of citrus fruits,
No prospective purchaser of Gulf
Coast or South Texas land can afford
to ignore the advice of Mr.. O%nderdonk
considering he has so clearly stated
localities, even giving the boundary
lines where the husbandman may
settle and expect no more than six or
Eve crops of citrus fruit in ten
years, He has as clearly stated where
the settler may locate and as reason
ably expect ten crops in ten years.
Certainly no sane or sensible man
should lose the opportunity of inquir-
ing into and inspecting the PROPOSE
ton offered by the La Feria Land
Syndicate, which can fulfill all the
conditions to secure ten crops of or
angeS and other citrus fruit instead
of six or seven crops in ten years.
In conclusion the writer wishes to
offer a word of explanation to the pros
pective purchaser. Pursuing the
foregoing facts as presented and com
piled from a report of the Agricultur-
al Department of Texas, it is neces-
Sary to explain that one must not eX-
pect to e large old groves of oranges,
lemons or grape fruit because the val
ley has only about seven years in its
growth and until confidence wasestab-
lished during the first two years the
developments we're very slow. 1t fol-
lows therefore, marvellous as the de-
velopments in the Rio Grande Valley
are they principally have been within
five years. The settlers have found
it necessary to raise crops which
would give them immediate returns,
consequently Bermuda onions, cab
bage, head lettuce, celery and general
truck have been the products, which,
attractive as they are, yielding from
three to five hundred dollars annually
per acre, must eventually give way to
citrus fruit, which will Yield from $500
to 81 800 per acre.
The section, however with the first
and second lift of water from the Rio
Grande river. with the gigantic centri-
fugal pumps at the pumping station on
the La Feria tract, has sufficient fall
for conveying water. for irrigating
crops of whatever nature or kind to al
parts of this tract of land. A soil mar
