stupid phraseology common to official
documents, it remarks that THE prob
lens involved in handling goods
through a large market differ greatly
from those of production. Usually one
man or one firm cannot handle both
production. and distribution and sue
coed at both" Special, agencies are
necessary which can devote all their
energies to distribution"
In other words, the farmer who is
going to raise the very best possible
crops on his place a hundred or two
miles from the city, can't also. at the
same time be the best possible sales
man of those crops in the city.

One OF the very queerest things in
the whole big lexicon of human folly
is that 50 many. farmers can't or won't
see this almost Kindergarten
axiom. They continue to insist upon
trying to do everything and to: besev-
.erybody, each one alone by himself.
They seem, many of them, to think
that they can produce top-notch goods
one week and then sell 'em at top
notch prices the next week; that they
can fight the elements to a fragile
during the spring and summer, and
then beat the markets at the markets
own game during harvest that they
can Handle their dirt with expert skill
and also handle with equal experiences
the consumer who wants the potatoes
and cabbages they have made the
dirt produce: etc, etc. ,.

THE CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO

In the early part Of the year it was
evident that Francisco Villa had the
ambition to become the political War
wick Of the republic Of Mexico. On
January he deposed the provisional
governor, Gutierrez and installed Gen
eral Cara in his Aace. He was still
master of the situation at the City of
Mexico and Carranza still maintained
his stand at Vera Cruz Meantime, the
fighting went on uninterruptedly, With
varying results, but none decisive.
In June the situation on the border
and elsewhere became SO irritating
that the United States government
felt compelled to give official warning
to the factional leaders that failure Oh
their part TO come to some agreement
woun necessltate Intervention. De
spite this intimation, the forces OF
Villa and Carranza continued to keep
revolution afame, and by midsummer
the Mexican situation seemed to be
more inexplicable than ever. Villa'6
star waned perceptibly. A new nIili-
tary influence, General Obregon, took
the center Of the stage. He assumed
the leadership of the Carranza faction,
and his military successes were con-
siderable. In July General Gonzales,
another Carranza supporter, fought his
way into Mexico City, displacing Cen
eral Zapata, who held the place in the
Villa interest. Later, Gonzales was
driven out and the situation was so.
