Food Is
Scarce In
Mexico

Chihuahua City, Mexico, March %.
Food is so expensive and so diff
cult to obtain in Mexico, one of the
most fertile countries in the world,
that the poor are suffering want and
even starvation while the more pros
porous Mexicans find it difficult to
provide sustenance for their families.
Prices Of food in the United States,
even if considered by American
housewives to be high, are not to be
compared with those prevailing in
Mexico since the embargo was placed
on the expectation of foodstuffs from
the United States to neutral coun-
tries.
An opportunity to compare Mexi-
can prices for staple articles with
those obtaining in the United States
IS Afforded by the following quota
lions from merchants here:

American money, and is very scarce
at this price
American butter brings 80 cents a
pound. gold, and is the occasion for
celebration in the Mexican homes
when 1t can be obtained at this price.
Butter is unknown among the poor
er classes.
Flour sells for 16 cents a pound
and is growing more expensive as the
embargo restrictions are made more
stringent. Little wheat bread is
eaten by the middle and lower class
es who use flour for making tortillas,
cake made of flour and water.
American brands of coffee sell as
high as rs cents a pound and is
very scarce. Mexican green coffee
brings % cents a pound and is roast
ca over charcoal fires as it is used.
Rice, used principally by the Chin.
ese and Japanese living in Mexico,
is worth IL cents a pound.
Lard is another article which has
more than doubled in price because
OF the American embargo. It brings
50 cents pound when it can be OBJ
tanned The principal source of sup-
ply is the smuggler. (
Beans, which are staple food
throughout Mexico and are eaten
three times day, sell for 10 cents
a pound This is the highest in the
history Of Mexico. The red friiole
bean is much preferred to the Am
erican white navy bean.
No ham or bacon can be bought
here at the present time. The last
shipment received sold for SO cents
a pound.
Chile peppers, grown in all parts
OF Mexico, are the only foodstuff
which has not increased in price. It
sells for three cents a pound.
Small purchases are the rule in the
small Mexican stores and shops. The
centavo, or penny formerly was the
most used medium of purchase and
exchange It was not uncommon for
to ask for one cents worth
Of sugar, lard or even flour. Because
Of the increased cost Of such commo-
dities the flve-cent piece has taken
the place Of the cent as the most used

BASEBALL PLAYERS START
 THE GOOD OLD GAME

A lively game of baseball was play ed at the race track grounds Sunday afternoon between a bunch of young sters-mostly college youths-and a team of "old heads" "Long John'' Lowry started the game for the o. h. team and they landed on his port side delivery for six runs in the first inn ing, but after that he held them down pretty comfortably. The game ended in 10-8 score in favor of the old timers, notwithstanding the big lead their opponents got away with in the first part of the game.

REBEKAH's "ovER THE TOP"

The Flagstaff Rebekah lodge are fully one hundred per cent Americans and then some. In November they concluded that they needed a $100 Liberty bond; it was bought by them and this last week they felt that may be the boys lover there" might need more help and consequently took over another bond of S100. When it is taken into consideration that there is only about sixty members of this organi- zation, there is every reason to give them credit for their patriotism. Aside from this the members of the lodge do not stop, but are aids in every thing that goes to help the American soldier.

Big scenes in "A Mans Man." at the Orpheum theatre Saturday mati- nee and night, are railroad station in an Arizona desert, the Engineers club in Denver and a steamship dock in New Orleans. Then the locale changes to Sobrante, Central Amer ican republic on the verge of revolu- tion.
 Here the scenic features display a cantina kept by an old Scotch woman, hotel and street scenes, a, mine in the mountains and exterior and interior views of the presidents palace during a revolutionary outbreak which the "man's man" has financed.
 "A Mans Man" has been produced with remarkable observance of de- tail and those who have seen the pro- duction run do not hesitate to predict that it will make one of the biggest hits of the year.

Red Cross Asked to Speed Up on Hospital Supplies.

Red Cross Asked to Speed
 Up on Hospital Supplies.
 Even with one entire committed busy with details of the "Womanless Wedding" still the Red Cross work CTS on Tuesday last found at the close of the day a goodly amount of work to their credit. The hum of the ma chimes seemed to speak the joy of the operators in sending across the seas Americas women. Very few appeals TOW but voice the call for the Red Cross to speed up on bandages and hospital supphes-nothing particular ly joyous in the fact that such a need has been created, but nevertheless, the fact remains. The little Belgian and French orphans will find comfort and service in the work so lovingly done for them, for the supply of clothing rapidly grows.
 We spoke earlier of one committee devoting its day to the "Womanless Wedding"-well, they did devote it to that good cause and the results will plainly be manifest tonight. Oh, of course that didn't make the brides dress-that comes from well known modiste in Chicago-but why go into details when we are all going to at tend the affair tonight. It is of course, a Red Cross benefit and aside from the general interest, there will be an added feature-Mary Pickford will be the favorite after the wedding.
