WANT GARBANzuo
Continued from Page u

coast region of Mexico, and Incl
dentally to Nogales.
Primarily, it will mean the
cultivation-of taste among peo-
pie of the United States for gar
banzos, and that will create a
market that will stabilize the
price at about the present level,
or possibly higher. Down in the
Mayo delta as high as fifty sacks
are raised per acre, making this
one of the most profitable crops
imaginable, and indicating a flu
ture for garbanzo raising that
will repeat the history of the
famous lima bean section OF
southern California.
'It will mean," said Mr.. Ar
thur Gonzales, ''that Sonora and
Sinaloa will produce a million
sacks next year."
'The west coast region can
produce two or three million
sacks of garbanzos," asserted
Mr.. Arturo Cabillas. "Of course,
it would take several years to
reach that figure in production,
but there would be an immense
increase in production next sea-
son."
Nogales, as the gateway to the
west coast region of Mexico,
would naturally share in +. the
prosperity that would ensue
from such conditions.

FAMOUS MEN OF GREEN ISLE
Country Has Few More Picturesque
Figures Than the Three Widely
Known Myies Brothers.

Lieut.. Col. Sir Thomas Myles, NJ D.,
better known as Sir Tom Myles-
who has been in America on British
medical mission, is one of the most
picturesque figures in Irish life. As
medical students in Trinity college,
Dublin, the three Myies brothers were
famous for their encounters with mem
bers of the heavyweight division of
the Metropolitan police 1t used to be
said of the AIyles brothers, that, il
they found it necessary to beat up the,
Dublin finest" at night, they were
equally assiduous in patching them up
in the morning. SO there was no hard
feeling on either side.
Sir Thomas was kniglded in 1902
when he was president of the College
Of Surgeons in Ireland 1t was as
house surgeon in Stevens hospital
that he made the first examination of
the bodies of Burke and Cavendish,
the victims of the famous Phoenix
park murders. The strange thing was
that, at the moment, neither Sir
Thomas nor the police knew that. one
of the bodies was that of the chief Sec
rotary, and the other that of the under
secretary for Ireland.
1t is habit of the Myles family
to be over six feet in height, and
with shoulders and fists in proportion.
In the Zulu war one of the chiefs was
run to earth in his kraal by the British,
who wished to capture him alive Vol
unteers were asked for and Sir
Thomas brother John undertook the
task. He crawled through the long
covered entrance and came out ten
minutes later. dragging the kicking
potentate behind him by the scruff Of
the neck.
