OPEN EVENINGS

nocemt mantle are dark and noisome
dungeons where many political pris-
oners of Mexico have been kept for
years.
Turning hastily from this unpleas-
ant scene, gentle reader, let US retrace
our steps to the center of the city,
which is marked by the plaza. This
is large and beautiful square filled
with palms and flowers, and watched
over benignly by the ancient and
stately cathedral. Every evening dur
ing the band concert ii is the quaint
custom of the youths of Vera Cruz to
promenade around the square on the
outside of the walk in one direction,
while the young girls. carefully watch
ed over by their duennas walk in the
opposite direction on the inside. In
this way most Mexican firtatiOns are
hagun.

Scientist Was Fooled

A few years ago Doctor Emmens,
a distinguished American scientist,
was convinced that he had discovered
a missing element" between gold and
silver which he called "argentaurum."
He melted Mexican dollars in a cru
chile, dissolved the silver with nitric
acid, and exhibited a residue of I'M
deniable gold.
Explanation lay in the fact that
there was originally some gold in the
silver out of which the dollars were
mnted This is commonly the case
lowing to imperfect metallurgical
processes) with the older Mexican
coins.

Chicago, Sept. 1O.-Packers, bank
ers and livestock producers are meet
ing in the Continental and Commercial
Bank here to solve one of the most
perplexing economic situations which
has confronted this nation in many
years.
It's a matter of financing livestock
producers SO that the 1OO,00O,0OO peo'
eat.
Leading bankers and producers,
spokesmen for thousands of sheep and
cattle raisers, will decide just how
much financing will be necessary to
carry the West along, for the West ia
said to be on the brink of bankruptcy.
1t was estimated today that per
haps $5O00OO,O0O will be necessary to
buy feeders and high-priced feed and
work through the winter for the next
few years markets. Local bankers,
whose institutions carry much cattle
loan paper. think probably one-hal1
this amount will suffice.
Summed up, the situation is this

wages for hired hands, costlier hay,

market, responding to the public de-
mand for lower cost of living.
In other instances western bankers
loaned amounts ON cattle on the basis
of what the cattle should have brought
in a good and average market.
As prices slumped the bankers, see-
ing margins Of safety diminishing,
called their loans. The rancher, forced
to liQuidate, threw his cattle on the
market. Another loss.
For some time the stockyards have
received fine young cattle which
should have pastured and fattened for
another season at least 1t is on these
that the next few years supply de-
pends.
The question was asked:
why throw these on the marketi
They are only feeders"
The answer is that it is costing too
much, wages and feed considered, to
feed cattle. And if these young ones
are to be Killed now, where will the
food come from In the next few years,
was the question asked in the indus
try.
A preliminary conference has been
held but it was informal and merely
"get acquainted" session.
A. Il. de RicqIes, the Denver cattle
man, said:
Personally, I believe it will be. diff
ficult to evolve a specific plan; per-
haps the psychological effect of these
large interests advising the country
that they are back of the industry and
will do their utmost to see it is fl
nanced will be the chief result of the
gathering.

special fund for the use of the indus

available and fail to effect the pur-

from Borneo in violation of the immi-
