AMERICANS OF GERMAN BLOOD
 60 TO MEXICO
500,0O0 Acres or Land for "Wet" Colony Have Been
 Purchased.
SETTLERS PIQUED BY
 WAR AND PROHIBITION
Colony Situated 50 Miles South of Texas
 Irrigation Plan.

Monterey, Mex. - Communication
 has been received here from the t1Jy
 of Mexico of the report that the Car
 ranza Government has given it's offi-
 cial sanction for the establishment in
 the State of Coahulla of wet col
 ony of Americans upon a tract of
 500, ,OOO acres of land that has been
 purchased for the purpose by the
 promoters of the project
 It is significant that the prime nov
 CTS in the big colonization scheme are
 German-Amcricans of Texas, some
 of whom are said to be not only dis Eruntled over Prohibition but bemoan the outcome of the World War The
 proposed colony is to be a refuge for
 the Germans of Texas who are dis satisfied with present-day conditions ] in that State.
 The project is said to be receiving the support of many citizens of the German town of New Rraunfels. Tex, and other German communities of that state.
 Among the chief promoters of the plan for this refuge colony in NIexi-
 co are Julian stopper of New Braun l fels, who is grand vice president of 1 the Order of the Sons of Hermann | of Texas; Judge John Marbach, F. | Coreth and Charles Ahrcns all of l New Braunfels: Ed. Wolff and Emil ] Locke of San Antonio.
 It is asserted that a more fHoaI To-
 cation for a ''wet" colony could hard ly be imagined than that which has 1 been selected. Of the tract of 5OO.- | 900 acres which is to be Colonized. | more than 2OO,OOO acres are under | irrigation. The land belonged to the 1 ranch and plantation of Lorenzo Con | gales Trevino, and has long been not | ed for its productiveness It is sit unated about 90 miles south of Del | Rio. Tex.
 The irrigation system Is the largest l in Mexico, and cost more than S2,- i 100000 gold to construct. Besides | supplying an ample amount of water ! for irrigating the 100000 acres, there 1 is sufficient water power to opera te | cotton mills, flour mills. a sugar fac l tory and other plants which the sym l dicate will establish.
 It is planned to lay out and build ! a new town to be called Braunfels, 1 which will be the capital of the col | ony. Breweries and distilleries will 1 be constructed not only fo~ supplying | the colonists with liquor, but for l general sale and distribution in Mexi- | co. The syndicate will expend more | than s5,oOO,OOO gold in improve 1 ments.
 The Mexican Government has or | dered the construction of a branch l line of the National Railways of Mex | leo from Allende to the site of the l proposed town of BraunfeIs, thence to
 Las Vascas, situated opposite Del | Rio.
 Lying immediately to the south of l | Mountains, which are full of deer,
 bears and other game. Upon the
 land a wide variety of crops may be i grown. These include wheat, cot ] ton, corn, sugar cane and beans. l According to statements of men i'm l terested in the scheme, more than 500 1 German families have already signi- 1 fled their intention of becoming mem- | bers of the colony.

Rem. Russian Lapland, Aug. 26.- American railway forces and other Allied troops operating on the Mur- mansk front this summer found the Arctic mosquitoes worse foe than the Bolsheviki.
 After the war is over" one Yank recently told the correspondent, we're going to come up here and organize an expedition to hunt these mosquitoes for their ivory. They're not like ordinary mosquitoes. They buzz up, bite a piece out of your leg, and then fly away into the trees and eat it."

A Sad Story.

A sad attempt at suicide was re.
ported from Dermott Saturday about
Ia p. m. 10y Edmondson, son OF
Geo. Edmondson. 10y mad shown
signs OF mental arrangement for
the past three days and the family
had kept watch over him, until about
early shutdown when the vigilance
was relaxed and 10y was allowed to
enter his house alone, in a very short
time he emerged from the house COW
cred with blood. Those near by saw
that he had slashed his throat and
was bleeding to death. Drs. Johnson
and Rosser were summoned hasu-
ly from snyder. They found the
wounded man had cut the wind pipe
entirely in two. Had severed all the
muscles and blood vessels down TO
the fatal ones but had not cut the
iugular vein. But for the timely act
of Boze Scrivner he would have like
ly bled to death before the Doctors
arrived He had grasped the bleeding
throat and held it tightly lessening
the hemorrhage. After two hours
work the wound was successfully
sewed together and 10y will likely
get well.
II is learned that 10y is about 81
years old and has a family. He was
aiken to a sanitarium at Temple this
week where it is hoped he may re-
cover and be well and at himself
again
