From official socrces it is learned
that many American liquor manufac-
turers have requested from the Mexi-
can government permission to estab-
lish their plants on Mexican territory :;
but no action has been taken yet upon
any of the applications made.
Experiments conducted at the City
of Mexico by the Department of Agri-
culture, of the federal government,
have demonstrated that paper of very
good quality can be made from "zaca-
.ton,' wild grass which grows album
dantly in various parts of the republic.
For manufacture the plant is treated
in the same way that wood is used,
turning out paper pulp very much
like wood pulp

NOBODY EvERDIEs EXCEPT OF
STARVATION"

DR.. Hitti, physician in the Syrian
Protestant College at Beyrout, wrote
a letter on December 18th to his
brother Philip ]. Hitti, a lecturer on
Semitic languages at the Columbis
University, which reads like a mod.
ern transcript of passage from the
Roman Siege of Jerusalem.
"How fortunate you were," says
the letter, Gin being absent from this
country during the past four years
Your eyes did not see swollen legs
of older people, important symptoms
of beginning starvation. I wonder
whether you heard of such facts
when deliciously gnashing the flesh
of dead animals, others mercilessly
devouring young living children, and
women pitilessly eating their sons
and their daughters"
"There is no profession more wide
ly spread than begging. The old
Arabic proverb which says is there
anybody dies of hunger?' proved to
be incorrect and was changed to
read thus-'Nobody dies except
of hunger The standard of mo-
rality sank down. The whole OBJ
ject of people was eating and
stomach-iIling, irrespective of the
means used to attain that object. To
a certain extent they were justified
in their behavior and we can only
say that it was necessary evil"
This information, horror-stricken
to the civilized world, was passed on
by DIR. Hitti at a luncheon of work
ers for the American Committee for
Relief in the Near East held at the
Bankers Club at New York today.
These are the conditions which are
making an irresistible appeal to the
hearts and purses Of the American
public.
The campaign in Minnesota is pro-
crossing very slowly. Only two
counties of the state have gone over
the top. The first to, reach it's goal
was Sherburne county, under the
Craftsmanship of Mrs. F. w. Nick
erson of Elk River. The sum raised
was s2,057. Fillmore county, OF
which j. F. Souders Of Preston is
chairman was next to raise its quota
of $4,000. Mankato was the first
town to go over the top.
Minneapolis raised, her quota fol-
Armenian and Syrian Relief in hen
War Chest campaign and so will be
able to pay over to the committee
100000 as fast as payments come
in from pledges. Duluth has raised
$4,000 of her $4,000 quota and il
still actively engaged in the cam
paign. The following counties have
made partial reports as follows
Mower, $4,000; Winona, s7,S43t

LOWER PRICES
REDUCTION IN STEEL PRICES
SAY THE MANUFACTURERS.

Business men in the leading cities
over the country are sanguine that
substantial reductions in quotations
of steel and other manufactured
products will be made effective early
next month, with view to encourag-
ing building and other projects and
thus taking up the slack in the labor
market as early as possible.
It is universally recognized that
recessions from war levels in the cost
of materials Of all kinds are neces-
sary in order to hasten the recon-
struction movement and bring trade
in Industrial and commercial lines
back to normal
That either the United States Steel
corporation or one of the independent
companies will announce a new scale
of quotations some time next month
and that other operators will speedily
follow suit is generally predicted.
Users Of various lines of steel prod
ucts say that it will be necessary to
reduce quotations by larger amount
than 81 ton, as rfas done last De-
cember. In ordeS that spring OPP
erations may get way to good
start, it is thought that the leading
interests in the trs le will make the
cuts in their price lists sufficiently
deep to attract business.
1t is realized on every hand that
the placing of orders must be stimu-
lated as speedily as possible or num-
bers of additional plants will be COM
PEELED to shut down. AS it is now,
the large steel operators are esti-
mated to be running their plants at a
basis of 65 and 70 per cent of capaci-
ty, but in the meantime stocks are ac-
cumulating as the list of orders on
mill books is being rapidly reduced.
That condition is illustrated in the
statement that bookings Of fabricated
steel during January were only at a
basis of IL per cent of mill capacities,
being the low record. The previous
low in that line was 20 per cent, re-
ported in February, 1914.
Operators Of mining properties on
the Minnesota ranges with headquar-
tiers at Duluth assert that the 1919
Lake Superior iron market is still in
the future. Up to the present there
has been practically no inquiry for
ore, and on account Of the reserves
still carried at Lake Erie docks and
at furnace plants in the East, it is
predicted that the new seasons ore
figures will not be set much before
April /. Owing to the continued high
labor cost, it is assumed that prices
will not be reduced from last seasons
basis, and whether work will be re-
sumed by the independents at their
underground mines is said to hinge
upon the success of the movement to
bring about reduction in the freight
rate from the mines to the docks to
63k cents ton.
