Merchantable corn was S2.4 per cent
of the entire crop during the last 80
years, and the percentage has been a
declining one. In 1SSS1S97 the mean
was S4.6 per cent; in 1S9S-1907, S3.4
per cent; and in 190S-1917, S0.2 per
cent. The standard Of m%erchanta-
bility appears to be rising. The frac-
ton for 1918 was S2,5 per cent, or
almost the mean for SO years, but
above the mean Of the preceding ten
years. The highest fraction in So
years was S9.1 per cent in 1906, and
the lowest 60 per cent in 1917.

These figures are said to include the foreign in
vestment in the national debt of Mexico and the
distribution, as far as can be worked out, of the
holdings of the securities of all companies operat-
ing in Mexico.
The British government is demanding adequate
protection for British subjects and property in
Mexico. including specifically the oil wells the Brit
ish government recently has purchased from Brit
ish corporations, and also is demanding reparation
for the destruction of British lives and property.
The French government is making similar de-
mands and in addition insists that Carranza pay
the interest on the $30,O00,000 Huerta loan, which
was foated in France but which has been repudi-
ated by the present Mexican government.
The $4,000 900 loan constitutes the difference
between the amount of the Mexican external debt,
MS estimated by T. W. Osterheld at $173, 469, OCT
and the figures given today by the Mexican gov
eminent, which are $143, 472,125.
Regarding the internal loan debt of Mexico, the
Mexican treasury department says it totals $780,
9o7 775. with interest to June 80 next amounting to
81 ,914,672.62.

account the entire railroad Indebtedness, guaran.

Nor do the Mexican figures include obligations
other than railroads which the Mexican govern
ment has guaranteed and which, therefore, con-
stitute a valid claim against Mexico as a direct
external loan. Chief of these is the Gaia de
prestamos' farm loan banks obligations which.
with interest to June 80, equal $31, SOC, 742.75. Nor

tiOnists will shake him from power. In addltlon
to the Villa rising there are not less than ten reVo-
lutionary movements in Mexico. There are those
who say he would not last two weeks should ne

There is no gainsaying that Carranza Is IN q
tight place, with the League of Nations planning
economic pressure from without and a growing
pressure from revolutionists from within.
What are the Investments of foreign nations IN
Mexico? No official figures are to be had, with the
exception Of the estimate prepared In 1910 by
Marion Letcher, an American consul in Chihuahua,
which is this:

Another estimate, prepared by an American cor
poration enjoying special facilities, totals nearly
the same, but differs widely in the distribution Of
investments. 1t is regarded as the best obtainable.

Also Mexico has been using the total income OF
the railroads and express companies as well as
other public utility establishments and has stead
tasty refused to make admission of responsibility.
Most of the American money went into Mexico
during the "a years of the Diaz rule, ending In
1911. The following figures as to investments ana
damages are regarded as the most reliable.

TERRELL SHIPS Sc
CARS MEAT ANIMALS
SALES HAVE BROUGHT NEARLY
100000 TO FARMERS FOR
HOGS AND CATTLE.

The live stock industry has become
an important item in the agricultural
scheme of diversifcation in Terrell
county, and is putting many dollars
IN the pockets of the farmers.
Since October 1st last Mr.. H. A.
Petty has shipped to an Atlanta pack
ing house car loads of beef cattle
and SO carloads of hogs, for which
the producers were paid SLAP, 1904.

hogs, containing 5,261 head. Of
these 80 carloads were shipped from
Terrell county and the others from

48 carloads of hogs this season, for
which they paid the farmers $4,000.
This firm and Mr.. Peddy have shipp-
ed approximately 5000 hogs from
Terrell county this season, and 9th

HEALTH TALK.
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DIR. LEE H. SMITH.

An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or a germ.
we must put up good fight, and not be
afraid. The influenza runs very brief
course when the patient is careful, and
If we keep the system in good condition
and throw of the poisons which tend to
accumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C's-a clean mouth, a clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses Of pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such a one is made
of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root OF
jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tab
lets were first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and, as they flush the bladder and
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much Of the poisons and the uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the sys.
tenn and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished by the use of the
Anuric tablets, but in addition, the fore.
head, arms and hands may be bathed
with water (tepid) in which a table,
spoonful of salaratus has been dissolved
in quart. After an attack of grip or
pneumonia to build up and strengthen
the system, obtain at the drug store a
good iron tonic, called Irontic" Tab
let's, or that well known herbal tonic,

big novelties found in plays of this
class.

big pony ballet frolic, banter and

and If encores are any criterion their
returns could be many times four.
Stunning in the extreme are the cos
tune creations of these demure lit
tie beauties, and who says he'll like
them not wOt's not what he saws.
An ingenious feature in the second
act is an aeroplane flight. Dixie Har-
rlson, captain of the aviatrix corps,
at the wheel of a 24-feet tip-to-tip
plane sails away at the conclusion of
a novel ensemble number, the Dance

much surprised spectators.
The last act holds the big patriotic
punch awaited by the now thoroughly
aroused audience. The dimly lighted
stage gradually discloses tableaux

the desired atmosphere of field of
active battle. Thrills are here aplen-

with the shouts of peace with victory.

IN MEMORY OF P. T. SMITH.

Who departed this life February
10, 1919, at the age of sc years one
month and 7 days.
IT'S hard to break the tender cords
Where love has bound the heart;
IT'S hard, so hard to speak the words
We must forever part.
Yet, again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fed,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we love is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given,
And though the body moulders here
The soul is safe in heaven.
HIS LOVED ONES.

however, withstood the torrents of
water and remained intact.
The earth is full of water, and it
rose to a depth of two feet or more
in many of the cellars and Easements
in the city, including those under
both churches, the public library and
the court house. In the court house
basement water seeped in to depth of
two feet, and the heater which sup
plies warmth for both the court house
and jail was put out of commission.
For three or four days Offices in the
court house were without heat, and
likewise the prisoners in the jail. 1t
was quite cold part of the time, and
the prisoners suffered considerably,
especially one who was sick.
On account of continued rains
farmers have done very little toward
preparation of their land for this
years crops, and late planting seems
certain.
The condition of the cotton market
and the wet weather are having rath-
er depressing effect upon general
business.

The excessive rains have so filled
the earth with water that it has risen
in the basement of the Methodist
church to a depth of three of four
feet. The officials will have it pump
ed out as quickly as possible as it is
very injurious to the building and
especially to the organ. A ditch to

UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR TO SPEAK
 ON EXTENSION COURSE THURSDAY

Appearing in the interests of the general university extension course which is being organized at the Uni versity of Arizona under the direc- tion of Dr. Frank c. Lockwood, the latter will speak concerning it in Bis bee on next Thursday. The lecture will be delivered before the Luncheon club. His talk will be a general re- sume of the subject, which is to be handled in detail by President R. B. von KleinSmid in a series of six lee lures to be delivered here during the winter.
 Dr. Lockwood returned yesterday to Tucson after a three weeks trip through the northern part of the state, and reported that the univer- sity extension plan is receiving a very favorable reception there, es- pecially among the teachers.
 The present day idea of university extension is that it should proceed as a natural outgrowth of the heal thy resourceful, democratic life of the university-not as something grafted or imposed upon the institu- tion from without. The university is the institution of the people, and every department should reach the

people as widely and serviceably as possible.
 With the foregoing in mind the course will include a number of per tinent and important features, among which are the following:
 Correspondence courses in agricul- ture, astronomy, botany, civil engi- neering education, English, erman, French, history. mathematics min eralogy, mining and metallurgy, phil osophy, physics and Spanish
 The organization of an Arizona high school public speaking league under the direction of the department of English composition and rhetoric.
 The preparation and circulation, with the assistance of the library staff, of a number of small loan packet libraries for the use of debat- ing clubs and other societies.
 The initiation and supervision of a diversified scheme of visual in- struction, including motion picture films, stereopticon slides and picture exhibits.
