JuAREz IS AN ADOBE CITY
Mexican, Town Displays General un-
kemptness and carelessness,
and Is Not Attractive.

Most Americans have gotten their
ideas of Mexico, from the city of
Juarez, which lies, just across the in
ternational bridge from Ell Paso. This
is unfortunate and some day Mexico
will realize 1t, writes Nlksah. When
our sister republic awakens to the
Importance Of making good impress
sion she will tear down most Of Juarez
and build 1t over again.
Juarez is an adobe city, which Is; to
say that it Is of one drab gray monOs
tone, relieved here and there by white
washed porches and shutters painted a
pale sky-blue. In this 1t resembles
most other Mexican towns, but its
streets are narrowed and worse kept,
Its houses more In need of repair and
it's street cleaning department more
completely nonexistent, IL such a
phrase is permissible, than in almost
auy other Mexican city Of its size.
And this is unfortunate, because SO
many foreigners never see more OF
Mexico than Juarez,
A moderately we'll administered
Mexican town, and there are many
such, is picturesque and pleasant. The
adobe architecture is distinctly part
of the environment, and more genuine
ly artistic than anything of the sort
we have produced in the United States
The narrow unpaved streets, the mud
walls, the unexpected plazas witt
their statues, are all adapted to the
life that Is lived In them, and have
Meade County news., 1918-02-07

the beauty that comes'frum usefulness
and a. serene innocence Of the desire
to copy something .elsel But in Juarez
the streets need cleaning, the walls,
need plastering and the general iml
preston is one of unkemptness anG
carelessness.
1t could easily be improved. for
there are many beautiful things In
Juarez. There is church that was
old when the Alleghenies bounded the
American colonies There is a, great
plaza that could he transformed into a
noble park. But Juarez is rather proud
of her bad reputation. She prefers to
swagger little and talk about the
bull ring, the race track aad3 the Black
Cat saloon, There was a. time when
the proceeds of this latter institution
are said to have paid the costs Of keep
ing the armies of Francisco Villa In
the field.

WESTERN CANADA'S
CEREAL CROP
One of the Best Ever Harvested.

The cereal crop of Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
only greater than in any previous year,
but the price obtained was double that
Of 1916, which In turn was almost
double that Of the year before.
As was the case in 1915 and 1916,
many farmers were able to pay for
their land outright with the proceeds
Of their first years crop. Further evil
dence Of the prosperity of Western
Canada is shown by the fact that one
In every twenty Of the population is
now the owner of an automobile. If
the farming community alone is taken,
t will be found that the proportion Of
automobile owners is still greater. The
bank clearings Of the leading cities Of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the CORE
spending periods of 1916, and then they
we're higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg $500,000000 more was
cleared in the IL months ending No
vember 30 than in the same months
year ago.
The entry Of the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting greater production Of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers wonderful opportu-
nifty. Not only can larger quantities
Of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
Is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price of farm prod
ucts has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions of acres Of
arabic land in Western Canada which
can still be bought at low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
in 1918. It is larger than in 1917, and
will probably surpass' the record area
put into crop in the year 1915, when
the largest crop ever known in the
West was harvested. The year 1918
should also see a further increase in,
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
erable sums in cattle; the high prices
secureds for wool and mutton have
opened tie eyes of Western farmers to
the possibilities of sheep, and such was
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that IL was impossible to meet IL
adequately the campaign for greater
hog production is expected to yield an
increase OF between 25 and 30 percent
in 1918.
Those who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada cannot do better
than come early in the spring when
they can put in crop and harvest it
in the falE. In this way they will be
able to achieve something that will
not only be- Of great benefit to them
selves, but also to- t1ie great Cause for
which the Allies. Including the United
States ara. now us4rvr-1-->-1HElyertlse

In the early part Of the fourteenth
century Ivan Danilovitch of vladimir
took the title of grand prince of Mos.
cow and moved the government from
Vladimir to Moscow. From that time
until the beginning Of the eighteenth
century, when the administration was
transferred to st. Petersburg, the
Kremlin remained the seat of gov.
ernment.
Time after time, together with the
rest of the city of Moscow, the Krem-
lin has been burned, the last instance
being in 1912, when 1t was occupied by
Napoleon, and the inhabitants started
conflagrations throughout the city
which forced the Little Corporal to
commence his disastrous retreat from
Russia. NapoleOn's headquarters were
in the Kremlin. and, while the flames
there were not so destructive as in the
remainder of the city, the fire attained
sufficient magnitude to compel the
French to evacuate.

TT WAS a strange irony Of fate
that forced revolutionlsts, hard
pressed by the soldiers Of Ker-
ensky, to fall back into the Krem-
lin of Moscow, for centuries the seat
Of despotism of Russia. And addition
al interest was attached to this his
toric spot by the later announcement
that here Kerensky intended to estab-
lish his government. Perhaps no city
of the nation has figured so prominent
Iy in the turmoil which for centuries
has accompanied Russian politics as
has this "clty within CITY,"
1t was on the cite Of the Kremlin,
now the center Of the city, that Mos
COW was founded by Yuri Dolgoruki,
prince of Kiev, in 1147. The historians
believe a village existed on the heights
above the River Moska even before
the advent of Prince Yuri. Within
century, says the Kansas City Star,
the new village entered into the tur-
moil Of Slavic wars then raging. In
1888 the Kremlin, then an important
military station of the princlpality Of
Vladimir, was sacked and burned by
Batou-Khan. In 1898 1t was again
sacked and Its inhabitants were carried
away into slavery by Khan Nagai.
Since then it repeatedly has been plum
dered and burned.
