USE FOUND FOR BEAR GRASS.
Fiber Obtained From 1t Converted Into

Tucumcari, N. M.-Gathering the
spear-like leaves of the wild bear grass
that grows profusely over large area
of western Texas and baling the fiber
that is obtained therefrom is a new
industry for this part of the country.
A large plant for preparing the fiber
for market has been established here.
The product is shipped to Chicago,
where 1t is manufactured into rope,
cordage, mating and other products.
The available supply of the raw ma
terial is said to be practically mex
haustible.
Up to the time it was discovered that
the leaves contain a valuable fiber
bear-grass was considered worthless by
the ranchmen. 1t is now proving a
source of considerable revenue for the
land owners and the men who are EN-
ployed In marketing 1t.

WANTS A NATIONAL
BANK IN CANAL ZONE
Helm of Kentucky Would Go
After South American Trade.

Washington. - Representative Helm
of Kentucky has plan TO establish
national bank at Ancon, in the Pana-
ma canal zone, with branches else
where in that country. He would
call it the Pan-American bank and
give it a capital stock Of $25,00O,OOO,
divided into shares of par value OF
500 each.
Just before congress adjourned Mr..
Helm introduced a bill to incorporate
the Pan-American bank, and when
the Sixty-fourth congress conyenes he
will press it for action.
1.-THE commercial tieup resulting
from the European war has convinced
every thinking man in this country
that foreign trade is a vital element
in our domestic prosperity and that
the continents of North and South
America have greater identity of In
terests than was ever realized before"
said Mr.. Helm. "There never was a
time when opportunity was knocking
so loud at our doors. The commerce
and business of a continent are With
in our grasp. The manufacturing en-
terprises in Central and South Amer
lea are very limited. and it is to this
matter that | wish the attention Of
the country could be directed.
Few, If any, of the republics to the
south of us have the means of trans
porting or delivering their products to
fCfi
ditiins nearly all the trade Of Central
and South America flows across the
Atlantic 1t ought to be flowing from
North America to Central and South
America
About the only means of creating
commercial and business relations are
banking facilities, transportation, press
bureau and mercantile agents. Under
the federal reserve act a bank with
$1000,000 capital in the United States
can establish branch bank in any of
the countries in Central or South Amer
lea. This provision, in my opinion,
does not meet the conditions. What
we need is a bank of sufficient proper
lions and magnitude and Importance
and prestige to handle the business of
the continent.
THE government of the canal zone Is
going to be just IS stable and steady
as the government of the United
States. If we establish a bank on the
canal zone it becomes identified with
the locality Our government is be-
hind it. That guarantees confidence
and makes 1t sure go. The govern
ments to the south of us would be In
spired with confidence in the institu
ton"
