the improvements on the st. Law
renee would be made in Canadian ter
ritory, and unless Canada would con
sent that part of the work be done
by the United States, most of the
St Lawrence would be done by the
Dominion government.
MY plan contemplates the joint
development Of this great waterway
if the two nations can agree on such
course
at has been shown by reports that
the Erie canal could be enlarged to
accommodate rhe largest ocean ves-
sells for less than one hundred mil
liens, and if Canada should insist
on constructing all the Canadian prof
ects then it will clearly be in the
interest of the United States to en-.
large the Erie canal as suggested.
The rational, natural plan. how
ever, is the one that uses natures
watercourses in the improvement Of
which enough power could be gener.
ated to yield a great revenue upon
the original cost. A conservative es.
innate of the potential energy which
could be developed by improving the
st Lawrence from Lake Ontario TO
Montreal is four million horse power.
This power could be sold for at least
100000, which would mean a 3
per cent return on a S300,000,00O in.
vestment.
"If we do not construct this great
waterway not only in our interest
but in the interest of our children,
Canada will do 1t. She will construct
it. on her own territory, which will
deflect our trade over Canadian rails,
to be loaded into Canadian boats
and routed for Canadian markets. She
will fortify her canal, compelling us
to fortily our end and the imaginary
boundary will bristle with the guns
o. two great nations. A joint con
trol and a Joint building of the canal |
viii mean an everlasting peace De
tween our two peoples"

WATERWAYS PROJECT Of VAST
DIMENSIONS BEING CONSIDERED

adyisability Of such an alliance for
mutual benefit, induced Secretary
| Bryan to submit certain questions to
the international joint commission
created by act of congress June H.,
1909, which, in turn, was asked to
submit the question to the Canadian
government These questions are now
being considered by the Dominion au-
thorities and look to report on the
character Of the waters to be i'm
proved, part of which lie in Canadian
territory, part in American territory
and part on the border between the
two countries, the question of cost,
lake levels and power development.
The resolution of Senator Town
send, into which new life has been
breathed by the earnestness of the
Junior senator from Michigan. CON
templates a water highway through
the Welland canal and the st. Law
renee river, which would accommo-
date ocean-going vessels from the
Atlantic to Duluth at the headwaters
of Lake Superior and other lake
points.
Speaking Of he resolution and its
purpose, Senator Townsend said TO-
day:
THE questions which have finally
Loon submitted to the international
Joint commission and by that body
to the Dominion government: were
thought to be necessary in order TO
get action on the part of our north
ern neighbors to the end that when
both countries had agreed upon the
matters to De investigated such mat
tcrs could ne referred to the inter !
national Joint commission for inves-
tisaton
The Canadian government has
those questions and until its answer |
has been received I presume nothing
can be done looking to a comprc-
hcnsiye report of the international
joint commission.
There is a decided sentiment IN |
Canada not upon the question of the |
odyiaability of an ocean waterway
from the lakes TO Montreal, for that !
has been decided long ago as highly |
necessary hut as to the location Of /
that waterway. One faction Of cur
Canadian cousins desires the route |
constructed in all Canadian territory |

Georgian bay in Canada to the Ottawa F..
river. thence down the Ottawa to the .

killed one of these women of Tehuan-
tepec as she passed his dwelling. The
shooting was done on a wager and
merely to prove his craftsmanship.
There is touch Of cruelty in even
the Aztec when aroused. The people
rose as man and went for Governor
Diaz. When they had captured him
they performed an operation that is
not unpopular in Mexico. They
skinned the bottoms of his feet and
then forced him to walk to his execu-
ton.
To avenge the death of his younger
brother President Diaz dispatched an
army to Tehuantepec with instructions
to kill every male in the village. The
orders were so effectually carried out
that the only men left were those who
fed to the mountains.
Since then the town has been a COM
munity almost without men. As I
walked the streets of this native city
of the tropics one of the most Pc
culiar of the efforts of Nature to keep
her balance was thrust upon me. The
male children of the Tehuanas go
stark naked. but the little girls wear
a skirt about their waists. / noticed
that there seemed to be many more
male children than female So great
was the apparent difference in numbers
between the sexes that began to keep
a tally. At the end OF the day | had
seen four times as many boys as girls.

do the herds in the fields and mated
long before they had reached matur-
fty Sometimes there was the formal
ity of marriage, but more often there
was not, for the fees were prohibitive.
1t was rare that a peon girl passed
the age of fourteen without having
found herself a mate.
This same girl at twenty was the
mother of four children. At that age
she should have just been coming
into her maturity, blossoming into
whatever of beauty lay within her.
But the girl of twenty who, in pow
erty, has brought into the world four
youngsters and cared for them. has
lad little chance for the Towering
srsh OF the latent beauty that may
ave been her birthright.
This Is the condition that is almost
universal among the people of the
masses. 1t is because of this condi-
ton that one looks in vain for the
dream maiden of Mexico who burns
uu her soul in jealousy for her sweet
heart and slips the stiletto between
his ribs rather than lose Sim.
1t is condition almost universal,
but not quite. There is the town of
lTehuantepec that saves the day, for
Tehuantepec is the home of women
who throw down the gauntlet to all
the world for beauty and for those
characteristics of leadership that DOM
mate all around them.
! Where Mexico grows narrowest to-
Vard the southern end the Isthmus of

has WI. an international reputat ion.
When the traveller alights in Tehuar-
tepec he is met by peddlers of opals
and beads beaten out by native gold
smiths from the metal of tribal mines,
and the fruits of the TERRA caliente"
Soon he notices that these peddlers
are all women and that many of them
are young and beautiful. He passes
into the market place, where he finds
1nnumerable stalls, also presided over
by women. There is the appearance
of immaculate cleanliness and the air
OF business efficiency. Near by are
native stores. also presided over by
women. There is hardly male crea-
ture anywhere to be seen.
Eventually the traveller learns that
this is city Of pretty women. There
are 5000 of them and but 500 men.
They have assumed the reins of gov
eminent and the responsibility OF pro-
viding for their own support. They
have done both so effectively that
Tehuantepec is the cleanest, best gov

between the Rio Grande and Guate-
mala.
And the beauty OF these self-govern-
ing, self-supporting women lifts the
traveller out of his boots. They are
remnant of the unsullied blood of the
Aztecs, that race Of high civilization
that suffered so tregically when it fell
under the all-blighting domination Of
Spain. They are remnant Of the
people who built pyramids that rival
those of Egypt and temples of such
decorative beauty as to draw students
from the world around into the jun
giles of Yucatan. And these women
have a classic delicacy Of feature and
a dignity that is in accord with this
ancestry.
A Dlax Tragedy.
This manless Eden is also heritage
from the Diaz regime. President Diaz
sent his younger brother to Tehuante-
pee as governor. This latter was but
an unlettered Indian and possessed
none of the unusual qualities of Por-
firio. He governed his Aztec subjects
with aboriginal cruelty and stupidity.
His many atrocities came to

TRAVELLED for month through
the heart Of Mexico looking for the
women Of beauty and romance of
whom l had heard SO much. In
all that month l saw not one of
them. Instead, there was always a
horde of sad creatures, child-laden,
prematurely old, who hung about the
railway stations and repeated the
plant, I'm centavo, un centavo," al
ways begging for mere penny. And
further back there was the hovel
where the mother presided over the
destinies of large family and at
tempted to make ends meet on the
small and irregular earnings of her
men folks, writes w. A. Du Puy In
the Detroit Free Press.
There are two dominating ideas in
the mind of the resident of the United
States with reference to the people of
Mexico. Light opera is responsible
for both. The first is the picture of
the mana creature OF an inconceiv-
ably wide hat, of trousers skin tight
to the ankles, of Towering, scarlet
sash and colorful blanket. And the
picture Is true in it's minutest details.
No stager Of light opera has ever ex-
aggerated the man OF Mexico. He
loafs today in magnificent ennui about
the railway stations at Chihuahua and
Saltillo and San Luis Potosi so ar
rayed as to defy exaggeration.
The second Mexican idea OF the
man from the states Is of the senorita,
gay. clad, bespangled. jangling her
tambourine and with a dagger, for
jealousy, hidden In her bosom. But
this maiden Is as conspicuous Tor her
absence as is the male of the species
for his omnipresence.

Once in a while woman patents
something that one would only expect

example of this Is the patent of Miss
Anna r. Tye of ST Joseph. who has
patented an automatic stop for troll

a switch TO move the stop.

Never permit a hog to become
lousy, using crude carbolic acid and

Fresh. clean. cool water for hens and
chicks and other kinds of poultry is
very essential In hot weather.
Always water the horse after he has
eaten his hay at night. Do not go to

Planting cucuTbers In continuous
rows insures fruit from one to two

The woodpeckers do a wonderful
amount Of good by digging out and de-
vouring young worms and insects on
trees.
More cleanliness about our hog pens,
coupled with proper care about intro
ducing infection, will keep cholera out
of the herd.
Give the chickens all the lawn clip
pings and waste leaves and vege-
tables. Give plenty of green food to
the laying hens.
The hog depends to certain extent
on grain during the growing period
and must be fattened almost entirely
| on concentrated feeds.

she is mean, that is no reason why
you should be. Turn her off and put
a good COW in her place.

damage by the codling moth.
Keep the chicks out Of damp places
and watch for roup. Dampness affects
the feet and legs of the chick. The
higher the breed, the greater the care
must be-
There are still some pretty poor
bulls in this country. Wherever you
find one of those animals, you will find
