Banking in Mexico.

Washington Post: Owners of gold
coin in Mexico City have to pay the
bankers for keeping it, instead of get
ting interest on it, said George J. Nc
Carthy, an American bankers who has
been largely interested in financial in
situations in Mexico, at the Raleigh.
''In the United States, we know, the
present condition Of banking is such
that banks have to offer interest on
deposits to get the business. The
bank making the most attractive in
ducements builds up the largest de-
posits. But in Mexico conditions ere
just the opposite, The banks do not
want any more money, and particu-
larly gold. If man wants to put
his money away, he has to pay for its
safckceping. In the first place, there
is more or less risk on the part Of
a banker in country where part of
the population is at war. The banks
in Mexico City are doing a verer big
business. but it is mostly in ex-

DANDELIONS HAVE
FRIEND AT COURT
Wesley Greene, State Hort'culturist,
Defends CHEEKY Yellow
Flowers.

The dandeion which has taken pos
session Of many lawns has at last
one friend. Wesley Greene, state hor
ticulturist, rather likes it. He finds
nothing particularly unpleasant about
the little yellow flower. However, he
does not encourage the spread of the
weed.
ITO some people the dandelion Is
unpleasant, but 1t gives me no worry"
said Mr.. Greene. Il rather like the
little yellow flowers. They have
beauty Of kind.
"Of course the dandelion Is a weed
and will grow all over everything If
left to have its own way. If nice
blue grass lawn is desired the dande-
lion does not meet with favor.
Those who dislike the dandelion
in the lawn will be able to kill it OFF
by Strengthening the grass. Blue
grass will gradually kill OF dande-
lions, and when once exterminated
from lawn where there is heavy
sod the dandelion cannot again get in.
"Dandelions do best where the
grass is thin. Thin grass denotes
soil poverty Such stretches OF lawns
should be fortified. Gradually the
grass will get thicker.
'Ine uanQelCnS DlOSSOlH 1oT pS'
Rod in the spring and fall. In the
summer with the hot sun they cease
to put forth flowers. An excellent
way for property owners to improve
their lawns is to cut the dandeliou
blossoms before they go to seed. BY
so doing a lawn can be entirely freed
of the weed in one or two years.
1T cannot be done in one year be-
cause there always is seed in the
ground which will produce a crop tho
second season, but after that the
lawn should be clear, providing Of
course, that new seed does not blow
in from the neighbor's property.
The best system is to devote all
energies to strengthening the stand
of grass and let 1t kill off the dande-
lions"
