Reserve.
At a recent meeting of Presi-
dent Carranza's cabinet consid-
GRAFTON was given to a project
to regulate the rentals of petrol
ferrous lands according to their
actual value instead of at a flat
rate. It was conceded that lands
upon which petroleum had actu-
ally been discovered were Of
greater value than those where
it was only supposed to exist
but it's presence had not been
demonstrated. Therefore the
latter class should not be called
upon to pay in the same ratio as
the former. It is proposed to
embody this idea in the legisla-
ton that is to be enacted at the,
rext session Of congress concern
ing such matters.
The question was also discuss
ed of devoting the proceeds
from certain forms of taxation
entirely to the establishment of
the sole bank of emission author
lied by congress. It has been
arranged that a large amount Of
money paid over to the govern
ment through the settlement Of
the Tehauntepec Railway con-
cessions heretofore held by the
Persons should be devoted en-
tirely to increase Of the reserve
of the "Banco de la Republica
Mexicana," which will open for
business on April 1st. The
amount so utilized will, it is
stated, aggregate some fifteen
millions of pesos.

Heavy Proportion of Income De

i
The official report of Provis-

the state of Nayarit, formerly
of the territory Of Tepic, shows
that the total expenses of the
government for the year were
$40O, 1884, Of this amount $112,-
1850, or more than one-fourth,
was devoted to educational pur-
poses. The total expense of the
state government during the
last year of the regime preced-
ing the revolution was $79O,O19,
or nearly double that of the past
year, while a much smaller per-
centage was utilized for educa-

are respectfully commended to

The special agent in charge OF
the agencies of agricultural in.
formation in Sonora reports that
a careful study is being made by
him of the best, methods for the
cultivation of the garbanza OF
chick pea, also combating the
insect enemies of the cotton
plant. Under this agents care
Arbor Day was celebrated or
February 5th and many trees
were planted. Assistance is also
being rendered to the farmers in
the Mayo region to bring their
lands again into a productive
condition after the ravages of
the revolution.
Seven hundred and fifty
thousand acres of agricultural
land in the municipality of Casas
Grandes, state of Chihuahua,
have been returned 70 the ma
tional government through fail
ure of the concessionaires to
comply with the terms of their
contract through which they
had obtained control of the land
at a ridiculously inadequate
price. It will probably be sub
divided and allotted to people
who wish to cultivate small
tracts thereof.
The School of Engineers, Me-
chanics and Electricians in Mex

graduates have been provided

night and day sessions will be
held and graduates will not be
sent out until they have demon
strated their mastery of the es-
pecial branch which they have
studied.
A decree has been issued by
the president establishing a
head tax of so cents national
gold upon all persons entering

pie coming from Mexico into the
United States are required to
pay a tax of So American gold.
Several new custom houses
and ports of entry have been
established along the northern
border of the republic for the
purpose Of exercising greater
vigilance over trade between the

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
ORDERS REGISTRATION
Of all Able Bodied. Persons. Over
Fourteen Years.

The Parish Council of Defense has
ordered a registration of every able
bodied person, white and colored,
throughout the parish to be held to-
morrow, Saturday, August 3rd. The
registration which is for the purpose
OF effectiveness in the harvest labor
campaign, will be held at the differ
ent school houses in the parish and
will be conducted from Z a. m. to 7
p. M, at which time, according to the
placards which are posted throughout
the country, all patriotic Americans
are called upon to assist in bringing
the war to successful issue.
I An Identification card will be is
sued to every registrant, and as the
season advances every able bodied
person, man especially, will have oc-
casion to observe the convenience of
possession Of these cards. A man
without registration card, properly
executed, will be in a worse fix than
the "man without a country"
The Council of Defense and the
Labor Bureau are determined that
the 1918 crops shall be safely stored
and they are going to leave no loOF
hole for the defeat of that purpose.
Don't conclude, for any reason
that you are exempt from registra
ton under this order, but present
yourself for registration at the prop
err time and place.

availed themselves of our generosity
and it is matter of deepest regret
that we are compelled to discontinue
the practice. but the letter Of the
law must be obeyed, and we are
therefore cancelling the soldiers free
list after this issue.
How much the boys in the army
appreciate the Journal is attested by
numerous letters received from them
From the paper they get numerous
items of interest that home folks,
no matter how careful, would neg
lect to note in their letters. We re-
greet that we are compelled to can

1t is our suggestion that the rela-
tives or friends of the boys on the
front or in the training camps in
terest themselves TO the extent of
sending them the paper. A dollar
spent in this way will give them more
comfort than if spent in some other
manner. 1t means fifty-two letters
from home at a cost of fifty-siX cents
less than the postage Oh ffty-two

tention to the necessity for prompt
action. Subscription to the Journa
