.klCO'S MANY LOST" MINES
Operators and Prospectors Driven

Many of the lost mines of Mexico
wee the result of depredations of the
Yaqui Indians. They killed or drove
prospectors from the country and OBJ
liberated marks of the workings. Thus
many mines. with great possibilities
were lost.
One of the mines of the Estrelia
del N6rte Mining company was losl
for many years. The only clue TO lts
location was found on an old jesuit
map, which said II could be seen by

Successful farming IS basic to
the general welfare. Conditions
which denied to the farmer
ample funds for operation and
adequate credit facilities for the
purchase of land and improve
ments were Of grave national
concern.
Therefore. a rural credits sys-
tenn was devised as part OF the
financial system Of the nation in
order that the great industry of
!. agriculture, the source OF the ma
tons food supply, might have an
equal chance with other lines of
business and industry.
Federal land banks were ere
ated to provide credit and money
for the borrowers Of small means
plenty of money at low rates
Of interest and on longtime
credit. These banks were formed
by the government subscribing
most Of the capital stock.
Joint stock lalid banks were
created to provide credit anu
mcnev for farmer borrowers OF
larece mcans-in order that the
large borrowers might not take
Ill the money the farm land
banks had to lend and thus.leave
The small borrower without
funds. These banks are private
ly owned, bat are operated un-
der government supervision and
are subject to -all the essential

Hioh temperature May Mislead.

High temperature does not always
mean fever, for the body heat may be
increased by exercise or eating. and
a rise of MS much as 1.3 degrees Fab
renheit has been traced to mental work.
DR.. f. B. Wynn of Indianapolis reports
that drafted men before. examination
showed an average rise of Oh degrees
from the anxiety and suspense. with a
corresponding depression below nor
mai after examination. In 40 nurses
the fall after examination averaged
O.6 degrees. The psychic rise plus the
daily elevation may lead to false con.
clusions If the physician is not care
full.
