-~V-~ MEXICO.

If you stood on the American side of the Rio Grande and looked over into Mexico, you would see naught but sand and mesquite. No matter where you stood, from the Pacific to the Gulf, practically the same sight would greet your eyes. This is Mexico, a seeming worthless waste of non-arable land. But behind the sand hills, we are told, turks every sort of dangerous propaganda In the world. Practically every enc my we have, it seems, has his head quarters there. The Mexican ban dts, during the war the Germans, at various times the Japs and now the bolsheviki have operated from hot talnale land.
 We are told at present that the underground wires which keep American radicals radical and main tain the "reds" in vivid state of

Funerals are taking place at all sea-

cherished pets is especially heavy this
summer, so far as Thomas Hunt can
judge. considerable number of the
graves are decorated often by the own
ers, many more at least on the ami
versary OF the death. Tho proprietor
of the cemetery is Dr. Samuel X. John
son, veterinary surgeon with a pri
vate hospital In Manhattan. He was
the first American TO discover what
London and Paris have long known,
namely, that there are enough persons
who wish to give their pets decent
burial TO make such an institution pay.

The first two centuries remain
