As for Carrying goods in cold stor-

due to basic laws Of nature, in much
greater quantity during certain sea
sons Of the year than at others. ana
unless the surplus is carried from the
season Of heavy production to that OF

and the producer does not get fair
price for his product during the sea

II the surplus were not stored, these
products would be very scarce during
the rest Of the year, and prices would
be very high Cold storage is there

absolutely essential that this industry

the value OF cold storage II mas.

cannot be exceeded by dealers who
have put goods into storage. For this
reason. as well as for the more fun-
damental economic reasons mentioned
above. cold storage cannot be blamed
in any way for the most recent in
crease in prices As a matter Of fact,
cold storage tends to steady the price
throughout the year. raising II dur
ing months Of heavy production, and
keeping it from going as high as IT
otherwise would during the months OF
scant production
It should be added that, although
the prices Of the commodities men
toned are very high. they are no
higher than enough to induce suffi-
cient production TO take care OF the
enormous demand created by high
wages at home and requirements from
abroad. Swift & Co.

ed TO Christianity-men who there is
very little doubt would have never
been reached other than by a Sunday

are still Christians in the true sense

Aside from that I can give the
names Of men who were converted at
that revival who are college men and
stand high in the Industrial life Of
that city and who are now active
Christian workers in their respective
churches.

community is that no estimation can

WANTs NEXICAN INTERVENTIoN


{ Editor FL Paso Herald:
It would be desirable that once the
peace conference in Europe ends, the
United States government would take
political action. though it must be
energetic. in order to stop the an
archy reigning in Mexico for eight
years.
Numberless evidences are given by
Venustiano Carranza Of his inability
to settle disturbances in that repub-
lie. and it has had more than suffi-
cient time
In Mexico there are committed muir
ders and robberies without hindrance.
The governor of Sonora, Plutarco
Elias Gales. just some days ago had
four men hanged in Augua Prieta, and
one of those victims was DR.. Huerta-
This, as many other Illegal proceed
ings, should claim Intervention OF
a powerful nation in order TO impose
the law is that misfortuned republic
and give security 10 its citizens
I suppose that with the help OF the
Monroe doctrine, the United States
can prevent so many misbehaviors,
but IL that doctrine is not sufficient
to authorize an intervention, either
diplomatic or armed. at least for the
love Of humanity, the United States
must stop the anarchy in that coun-
try, governed at present chiefly by
bandits.
The American government could
support an honest man, who. with
arms could demolish the Carranza
government, that did not maintain
neutrality during the European war.
This fact should be enough so that
the people of the United States would
detest him.
I am a Mexican 1t Is sorrowful for
me to express this opinion, but I make
it on account OF the great love 1 pro-
fess for my fatherland. which I don't
want to see any longer sinking into
anarchy such as that which is pre-
vailing over there.
