THE MEXICAN DEBT

Washington, July 1s.-Mexican

lie debt, published In the United
States, are wholly inaccurate. In
This connection financial experts here
said comparison OF the unofficial fig

the figures given out by the Mexican
treasury department show no great
discrepancy.
The official Mexican figures as to
the external loan debt of the country
are s143,472,000 with interest to the
end of this month placed at $4,000
900. The unofficial figures as recent
ly published placed this total at S173,-

perts here said, is made up mostly
by the 100000 of. the Huerta loan.

MATCHED QUAIL EGGS
IN AN INCUBATOR

A few days ago, while working in
his grove, e. j. Pettigrow accidental
ly destroyed a quail's nest containing
seventeen eggs, just about ready to
hatch. Ed is one of those men who
would not Intentionally destroy the
nest OF any wild bird, much less a
game bird, and he naturally very much
regretted the accident. It occurred 10
him, however, that there might yet
be chance of saving these eggs, SO
he took them to the house and placed
them under setting hen. He kept
careful watch of the hen and eggs,
and as the eggs began to hatch he
caught the hen in the act OF killing
one of the birds. He then took the
remaining eggs away from the hen
and placed them in an incubator,
where every one of them Matched, and
he now has fine flock Of young quail
that are just as tame as little biddies.
When feeding time comes these beau l..
tiful little birds gather round their
foster parent, eating from his hands
and displaying no fear whatever.
When they have grown to sufficient
size to care for themselves, they will
be liberated, and II they succeed in
escaping the hawks, owls and wild
animals that prey upon defenseless
birds, they will in all likelihood fur
nish sport for the hunters who roam
the woods after November Mama

California Schools
VIII Experiment on
Printing Text Books

California schools are going to try
an experiment in text books. The
state board of education has now
selected some of the books it intends
TO have used in the immediate fu-
ture. These histories and arithme tics
are to be printed by the state.
According to the report Of the
board 100000 coplies are required.
If the state plant does all the print
ing and electrotyping the job will
cost about $3.50, 1000 and will save the
state 100000. This sounds like a
worth while saving, and turns atten-
ton to other possible improvements
in the school book situation.
During the war the text book
problem was almost forgotten, eX-
cepting where enemy propaganda
was discovered and thrown out.
With the close of the war has come
a genuine need for new histories and
Biographies which will have TO be
met by school boards. teachers and
parents There is no need how

Specially prepared and carefully
