no FOOD SHORTAGE
IN MEXICO ACCORDING
TO LATEST REPORTS

Mexico City, Sept. 1S.-The pro
duction of foodstuffs in Mexico fol
the current year has obviated an!
chance of shortage, according to the
department of agriculture. The
crops are said to be not only suffl-
cient to prevent famine but will
make Mexico practically independent
of importation of foodstuffs from
other countries, althugh a certain
amount of corn and flour will con-
tinue to be imported into the north
| ern States from the United States
because of superior facilities for
transportation to those localities.
The crops, it is admitted, will not
reach normal production but will be
sufficient to allow certain amount
of expectation. The question OF
lfcod supply is enc of distribution
rather than production, and it Will
be necessary to transport to the
more barren States products from
tthose localities where normal or
nearly normal crops prevail. 1t IS
pointed out that while some I'M
doubtedly died of starvation in the
capital last year, this was due not
to shortage of food but to the i'm
possibility of adequately transport
inc what was available.
Within the last few months, ac-
cording to the department officials,
means of transportation have in
creased many fold. Regular train
service has been resumed not only
with the United States border but
between interior points and rail
roads which have been idle for an
extended period have resumed opera
ton.
The corn crop, the great Mexican
food staple, will be good in all por-
lions of the Republic except Zacate-
cas-, Durango, Chihuahua and San
Luis Potosi. In each of those States
disturbed conditions have not only
prevented planting but have left the
farmers with an inadequate supply
of seed corn In the other States
the corn crop has been excellent.
The agricultural department also ex-
poets to add to the available supply
a large amount of old corn hitherto
held for large price advances.
The bean crop, according to de-
partmental reports, while not bum
per one, will be sufficient to permit
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-09-18

the expectation of old beans, the en-
barge on the foreign sale of which
lrecently was removed by a decree OF
the First Chief. In connection with
the bean crop, officials of the de-
partment declare that the shortage
of crops in Durango is due solely to
the speculative operations of Pan
cho Villa in the last two years. When
the Constituencies movement took
form in 1913, the rich farmers aban-
doned their ranches and fled to Mex
leo City. The poor people who had
worked on these properties, however,
proceeded to raise tremendous crop
Of beans which were stored through
out the State. Villa, it is said, found
this supply and shipped it to the
United States for sale, leaving not
even enough for seed supply. It is es-
timated he shipped over 100000
bushels of beans and officials say the
State never has recovered from the
scarcity which resulted.
The production of cotton, it is ad-
mitted by the department of agri-
culture, will fall SO per cent. below
normal, but reports from the Laguna
district as to the amount of water
now in the streams which in some
seasons are entirely dry, indicates a
full crop next year.

POWER OF THE PRESS

The reverend gentleman is perfect
lily right in this Newspapers are moi
egotistical. They realize that they
possess faults as we'll as virtues.
Some newspapers do a great deal
more harm than good when their
columns are misused.
The newspaper is the great nation
al educator. 1t brings the happen
ings of the world before its readers.
| 1t is liberal. 1t fights the battles OF
the week. 1t stands for justice and
right in all things. 1t is the moral
custodian of the public at large.
1t stands for religious liberty. 1t
is the champion of the masses.
A minister in addressing his con-
gregation reaches only those in
hearing of his voice. The newspa-
per reaches into remote homes, into
|seemingly inaccessible places, into
districts far removed from the reach
of the church.
There have been great men in this
world who, as boys, learned their al
phabet from the columns of the
newspapers. Andrew Carnegie was
one of these boys Only recently a
case was reported where now sue
cessful business man educated him

Not only do ministers realize this,
but men and women in all walks of
life see in the newspaper the great
distributor of light.

Orient that made republic of

Editor Harris, of the Ocala Ban
ner, one of the kindliest and most
courtly gentlemen we have ever
known, has an article in a recent is,
sue in which he declares he has enc
mics, and he is thankful for those
he has made. 1t is hard to conceive
of man like Frank Harris having
enemies, but it is fact, none the
less, that the life of such man is
constant reproach to others whose
ideals are less pure and high. That
which should be an inspiration is
to some merely an irritation All
worth while people have enemies.
The fact of whether a man has enc
mics or not may almost be accepted
as test of whether or not he is
worth while.

Next to the magnificent tribute:
that are so frequently showered upon
us by the big, broad-minded, gener-
ous-spirited papers of this State
which classification includes all ex.
cept about half a dozen of Florida's
publications-we enjoy the yapping
and swapping of few, little, obscure
journalistic nonentities which have
the unwarranted hatred all very
small creatures entertain for one
who is striving to do the honest and
conscientious work of which they
are incapable. Among the newspa-
per profession of Florida we thank
God for our friends, and we take sin
cere pride also in noting our enc

To p. C.'S
prominent Citizens,

Dear Mr.. Weaver:
I have been wanting to write you
for the longest while as l deeply
sympathize with man IN your po-
sition. How many men could stand
what you do, a long hot day in a
hot laundry, a day full of trials and
tribulations. 1t is enough to take
the starch out of any man. think,
Mr.. Weaver, that all the young girls
in town are in sympathy with you.
The other night happened to be
sitting in Mum park and right be-
hind me hidden by mask of shrub
berry sat one of Lakeland's young
est sons holding the hand of one Of
Lakeland's budding daughters. Evil

presence, as during the course of the
she remarked, "Oh,
G., l must not lay my head on
your manly bosom; it will soil your
shirt" He said in return, How
do you expect the laundry to keep
a-going if we don't patronize it,"
So you see. Mr.. Weaver, everybody
thinks of you. I have thought of
YOU many times and wondered if it
would be policy to confide in you.
What I am about to tell you, of
course, is strictly confidential. Last

The worst has now been told. The
editor of the Evening Telegram owes
some money. We trust no one will
be too hard on us for this except
those who do not owe anybody, who
have never owed anybody and never
expect to owe anybody. We find our
selves by no means alone, and the
company Is pretty good. Nine out of
ten of the business men we meet on
the street owe us money, and we
guess all of them owe somebody
The schedule of our liabilities, as
kindly published, is entirely incor-
rect, with the exception of the item
of interest on a loan We did let that
matter slip by for few days only
everybody knows how hard it is to
pay interest-that is, everybody does
who has had the ability to borrow
money. But this is immaterial-we
admit that we owe some money
Had we had the remotest idea that
anybody except the persons we owe
were interested, we would have glad
ly printed a correct statement of
what we owe. We do furnish a.
statement of this kind to Dun's and
other mercantile agencies two or
three times a year, and every print

Remedy for Loco

A remedy for loco poisoning

of Gilbert. Mr.. Locarnini, who
had much experience with live
stock in Switzerland before COM
ing to this country, tells us that
he has successfully cured loco
poisoning when it had been given
up by several veterinarians, by
giving the animal strong coffee.
He prepares the coffee by boil
ing two pounds of it in one
gallon of water until the liquid
is reduced to one half gallon.
He then gives the animal about
one quart, and if recovery does
not take place within 10 or IL
hours the other quart is given.

QUIET AFFAIRS

At the primary election held
Tuesday in Snowflake, LAT votes
were poIled, the republican ones
being in the majority. At the
1914 primary election there were
III votes-ten were thrown out
which shows that the strength
of the precincts electors was not
up to it's former standard, as it
is we'll known that the popula-
tion is greater now than two
years ago. Just to show that
our people are intelligent in the
voting line, only one ballot was
thrown out in this precinct.

The republicans carried the

by majority of about $4,000
votes. A democratic governor,

republicans.

supposed to be the barometer of
the trend of political affairs and
while the republicans are con-

they made their way to the home
