 It was suggested Dy one or the members of the conference that reso- lutions making suggestions as to methods of aid by miners meetings would be of great assistance.
 The need for increasing the coun- try's gold output is everywhere rec ognized. This need is emphasized by the fact that there will be reduc- tion in the gold production of South Africa, Australia and other gold cen ters.

The sane Fourth movement, under way for some
years but not always observed in FL Paso at least not
very strictly ought to be emphasized this year BOYS and
men like to celebrate July with explosions of giant
crackers and torpedoes and the various other noise makers
and at night everyone likes to the pyrotechnic displays
Americans usually waste millions Of dollars in that sort
Of demonstration
The sane Fourth" idea was started because Of the
many casualties attending each years celebrations II
should be observed both prevent injuries TO the
ceeorators and to save money which be used to help
carry the war
Money spent for flash Of powder and loud noise in
Fourth Of July celebration is needed TO explode powder

Tor syrocket to entertain Fourth Of July crowds is
needed for very Light" flare to illuminate no mans

Celebrate the Fourth Of July by all means but 90 it

Things In General
uW Il n
A MEXICAN UTOPIA.
BY n. n.

A 1IEXICAN UTOPIA.
THERE is a Utopia
1 in the Mexican states
OF Chiapas and Tabasco-
The land OF Zapata-
a country Of comrades
And cooperation;
A uoneyless territory.
Where companeros obtain
Anything they want for nothing
Because they are members Of
The Industrial Union
OF North and south America"
The name suggests industry.
But there IS little work done
I'm Lapatalaud.
Necessary work. OF course
say a tWO-hOur-a-dav shift
in the cooperative sugar mill
Or cotton fields. or on
The farms the poems have
Wrested from the haciendados.
There are so many things
More impOrtant-such as
Learning 20 chord on the guitar
Dancing, playing with children.
Getting all the fun out Of life
For life was meant for
Fun, wasn't it,
and OF course counting.
For woman Of this Utopia
Cannot be bought
lShe has the same free access
To all she needs as mani.
Gentle cavalierly wo0iug is
The only successful love method
With emancipated Couchita.
Every plaza has ITS band
And here you see the
Dancing Of a free people.
And hear companerOs who sing
Love songs Of their own making
Affairs Of the town are
Discussed fin the open.
And the decisions of the
Majority are final
Every obeys them.
For. are they not a brotherhood
lIsdemeauCrs are very rare.
And find punishment in
The averted faces OF friends
The superfIuous products Of farms
Are depositd I'm the market place
For those who care TO take them.
Occasionally there Is a shortage
in luXuries and foreign importa-
tious
When this occurs Zapata
Calls together a picnic party.
Rides north and stops a train
Going into Mexico City.
Takes what he needs.
And with many exchanges OF
Courtesies with the engine driver
Rides south again.
Working folk made the goods
says Llnata. and now other
Workiug people viii use them
Merely an elaboration OF
The cooperative idea
The UtoDians do not want TO fight
And they win not fight
More than the guardianship
OF their home requires
They merely want 20 be
Left alone and be happy.
