Owing to the banner crops raised,
the farmers of the Red River Valley
will be flush with money this fall.
Many takers and, schemers will know
this, and will try by all the ingenuity
they possess to rob the farmers of
their hard earned dollars Agents
of all kinds will swarm the country
and will do their level best to part
the farmer and his cash. Money is
not wasted when used for a good
purpose or in buying needful things
for the farm and home, but often
these schemers fool people to buy
things that are worse than useless
and at prices that are exhorbitant.

There was a certain animation in
the eyes Of the pretty girl as she
read these lines. These were not
needed to at once invoke remem-

Eleanor retained vivid memory of
the bright, gentlemanly young fellow
who had been their companion for
nearly a week. He was musical, ed

of courtesy and refinement and had
left distinctly pleasing impression
on the mind of Eleanor.
She was astounded at the implica-

soul of honor. More than once in gay
frivolous social circles she had COM
pared her flippant admirers with this
model young westerner, and not to his

How different this, her second visit
from the first she had made to the

of the labors of their women folk. Oc-
casionally, the local authorities round
up a bunch of the men and set them
to work upon neighboring plantations,
but it is said that they are so weak
and indolent as to be of little value
when 1t comes to manual labor.
The women are noted for their love
Of gold coins and colored finery of
dress. Their penchant for collecting
gold coins which they wear in the
form of necklaces had It's origin, it
Is said, during the period when great
numbers of American adventures
made their mad rush across the 18TH
mus of Tehuantepec on their way to
the California gold fields in the late
40's. When a Tehuana woman once
comes into possession of q gold piece
she will not part with it no matter
to what degree of poverty she may be-
come reduced. Many of these women,
whom one sees in the wonderful mar
ket places, wear strings of gold coins
aggregating several hundred dollars.
Great Chiapas Forests.
Bordering on the north the level re-
gion through which the Pan-American
railroad runs is a stretch of rich tim
Der and agricultural lands of the state
Of Chiapas. The hand of modern de-
velopers and upbuilders has barely
touched that little known port of Mex
ice. The state is abundantly sup
piled with perpetual flowing rivers,
the most notable of which are the
Grijalva and the Usumacinta, which
are navigable for large boats for long
distances. The forests have been lit
tie explored. They are filled with
many kinds of birds of brilliant plum
age, and roaming through the wilder
ness of tropical trees and plants are
leopards, tigers, wild boars, deer,
monkeys and many other animals.
The interior region is a veritable
sportsman's paradise. Orchids of enor-
nous size and the deepest colors add
to the wonderful beauty of the pris-
tine forests. 1t is said that more
than 10000 different varieties of or
chids have been collected and CLASH
fed.
1t is interesting to note that several
celebrated ethnologists who made re-
search into the existing native tribes
Of Chiapas and the ruins Of pre-
historic civilization that existed there,
believe it to have been the cradle OF
the human race" In this connection
it may be stated that the mountain
tribes of Indians Of Chiapas as well as
the Tehuana Indians of Tehuantepec
bear in many respects a remarkable
resemblance to the Orientals, both in.
personal characteristics and in their
established customs. 1t is in the,
northern part of Chiapas that the
ruins of Palenque, which have long
afforded an inspiring work of research
on the part of Psychologists, are To-
Gated. The most authentic estimate
Of the history Of the remains of the
city that is now called Palenque is
that Il was abandoned more than 800
years ago.
