Dakota Man Tells of Mexico.

Robert PeIrce arrived Monday from
Tamplco, Mexico, 10 spend the
Christmas holidays at the home Of
his father, e. e. Perce. Mr.. Peirce
has been in Mexico about year and
is in the employ Of the Standard Oil
Co. He said the snow we now are
having is the FIRST he has seen in two
years and the climate Is quite the re-
verse of that they are having in
Mexico. 1t will be remembered that
1t was at. Tampico the trouble be-
tween the United States and Mexico
first started. Mr.. Perce has seen
great deal of the war 10 Mexico and
its disastrous results. He says the
educated people in that country re-
gard it as a Joke and pure graft for
certain interests. Carranza has the
upper hand at present, he says, but
the revolution will continue SO long
as the Mexican poems are kept
ignorant. Those who are educated
believe the only means OF stopping
revolution in Mexico is the school
house and education aud 1t Will take
years to accomplish this since only
about ten per cent Of the natives are
educated al present. The pay OF u
Mexican soldier is two pesos and all
he can loot and plunder day, says
Mr.. Peirce, and very little real fight
ing is being done. In battle where
A hundred men are killed 1T is called
terrific fight there and the whole
thing is a Joke. Carrahza men Will
loot a town one day and the next
| Villistas will finish it and as result
the country is badly torn up.-Tht
