HOPE FOR MEXICO.

Reference was made in these columns the other
day to the statesmanlike utterancas OF General
Obregon as to the future attitude of Mexico toward
the United States and the world in contrast to the
policies which Carranza often proclaimed
Now comes Salvador Alvarado provisional min
lister of finance for the revolution with statement
evincing equal realization of Mexico's duties and re-
sponsiblites as supposedly civilized nation, He
says MeXco's leaders know that the world is tired
of its disorders because it is troublesome neighbor
I'VE know fully well our duties if we wish to be
respected a civilized people; we know that we
have to protect the lives and property of naonal Ia
and foreigners; we know have to pay debts
leo affect many parts of the world that we cannot
live behind Chinese fan, and that, due to swift
ness of means of communication, interdependence
of nations Is actual and positive thing, that
no country can act she desires, because her act
reacts to the confines of the world. We also know
of humanity all of the enormous resources that exist
in Mexico the world will and take them, be-
cause it is the inevitable law of progress
Carranza, bull headed, dictatorial. blinded by
pride and prejudice and hatred OF the United States
recognized none of these principles so forcefuly
laid down by the revolutionary minister. He was
forever prating of Mexcos sacred rights with
a thought of her duties member of the family
of nations. And he has rCaped his logical reward
There is possible hope for the dawning of better
day for Mexico.

| Regardless OF whatever artificial
issues politicians may seek to inject
into the present political campaign,
one of the great issues about which
the masses of the American people
are thinking most seriously is the
most of living. The cost of living
| has become a paramount issue be-
| cause the cost of living is out of
proportion to income. 1t consti-
| tutes therefore a reduction of in
| come for the average American
| family. The average. American
! family will not submit to a reduc-
ton of income and consequent low
ering of the standard of Diving with
I out protest. The greater the mar
gin between income and cost Of
4 living, the more energetic will he
the protest. ...... ...
1 Politicians have had but little to
| say thus far about the cost OF liv-
| ing and but few remedies of any
value have been suggested. The
cost of living issue is in reality a
wage issue. The cost of living de-
termines the actual value of wages.
1t determines the manner in which
people shall live. 1t determines
whether there shall be in the aver
age family more than barely
enough to supply the actual neces-
sites to maintain life. 1t determ-
ines whether there shall be suffi-
cient to provide necessities In
variety, whether there shall be
sufficient 10 provide for intellectual
growth. for pleasure, for relaXa-
ton. 1t determines whether there
shall be existence or life.
The present congress may be IN
dicted fairly as a congress of inCOm-
petence on the cost of living issue.
1t may be indicted as a congress
which has been negligent of duty
and thoughtless of the welfare of
the people. The government de-
partments, as for example, the de
partment Of justice, may be in
licted for incompetencH on the same
grounds. What has been more
mdicrous in American public life
during the past year than the an
nouncement of the department of
justice to the effect that it has
abandoned its high cost of living
the campaign?
on August s, 1919, President Will
son appeared before the congress of
the United States and delivered
message dealing with the high cost
of living. Upon that occasion the
president made specific suggestions
to congress all of which congress
listened to with real or assumed
respect, but to none of which con-
gress paid any attention thereafter.
The presidents recommendation
at that time may be summarized as
follows:
Extension of the life of the Lever
food control act to the date of rati-
fication Of the treaty of peace.
Extension of the scope of the
Lever act to include fuel, food and
clothing.
Amendment of the Lever act TO
provide penalties for profiteering
Enactment of a law limiting the
period during which goods may he
held in cold storage; also law re-
curing that goods be marked with
the prices a; which they were
placed in cold storage.
Enactment of law requiring
that all goods destined for inter-
state commerce be marked with the
price at which they left the hands
of the producer.
Enactment of a law TO license
and regulate corporations engaged
in interstate commerce in order to
prevent profiteering.

Farm Lands without Crons

of the cut-over land and woodland
in the United States might be
cleared up and the stumps removed
so that the land, would be available
for productive farming. II all this

cut-over land could be made into
farms averaging 100 acres, it would
provide 1.25O,000 farms, an in

acres, or enough for perhaps 300,-

CORN COB IS NOW
VALUABLE PRODUCT
MAY BE UTILIZED TO INCREASE
COUNTRY'S PAPER SUPPLY.
ENTIRE CONTENT USEFUL.

The lowly corncob, the chief COM
mercial use of which has been the
manufacture of missouri m eer-
schaums," is about to come into its
own, as it is to become new source
of paper pulp supply. Approximate
" 100000 tons might be made
available annually, chemists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture estimated
Papers which compare very favora
ly with those produced from wood
pulp have been manufactured, using
from 40 to so per cent cob cellulose.
All of Cob May Be Used.
Unexpected riches in the humble
cob have been uncovered by tests
made to develop commercial uses for
this former waste product with the
result that the entire content of the
cob can now be made useful in COM
merce. Paper, adhesive, cellulose,
acetate of lirpe, furfural and insecti-
eide are some of the products devel-
oped to date, with baking powder and
glucose promised shortly.
The cob, in addition to these uses,
IS expected 10 give lIle uye HluuSIly,
formerly controlled by Germany, and
coal tar derivates, firm hold in
America. Furfural is to accomplish
this purpose. The chemists call this
an intermediate. Many kinds of dyes
can be made with it and it is also
useful in the manufacture of lacquers
and paints, and bakolite, and has
proven itself an excellent insecticide.
Country Produces 2O,OOO,OOO Tons.
The residue after these substances
have been recovered from the cobs
is an almost pure cellulose, but pos
sessing very little fiber. 1t may be
used in the manufacture of dynamite,
linoleum, and in every line of work
were wood flour is used.
The United States produces from
$500, 100000 to 3,OOO,O00,00O bushels |
Of corn every year. That means 49,.

with our money changed we be-
gan to look about to spend it, for
Loo Choo is the home of the red lac
quer ware famous throughout the
world. Much of it is exported, and
the finest of the boxes, bowls, trays,
tables, ETC., which are in daily use in
Japan and China, and sold to tourists
throughout the Orient, come from the
little city of Naha, or Shuri, its neigh
Dor across the hills. The lacquer
ware, when first made, is dull brown,
but really first class pieces improve
with age and soon change to beauti-
full vermilion, becoming brighter and
cleaner the longer they are used.
No Bargaining" Here.
"When we came to buy lacquer we
were greatly surprised to find that
bargaining had no place in Loo Choo.
Without exception, the first price ask
ed for an article was the one for which
it was sold. Never in the Orient had
we met with similar condition.
at was interesting to find, also,
that the women of Loo Choo conduct
all business and have charge of every
thing pertaining to money-with the
single slight exception of spending it.
The market, where in the morning
trading for vegetables and fruit is
carried on, resembles suffrage meet
ing place, for among the crowded
mass of humanity not man is to be
seen.
"The straight backs and erect car
riage of the Loo Choo women are due
to the custom of carrying everything
upon their heads. No matter what
the object, be it large or small, it is
perched upon their thick, black hair,
and off they walk in the most non
chalant manner, apparently not pay
ing the slightest attention to keeping
the object in place.
"The most striking thing about
Naha and Shuri are the high stone
walls which surround the houses.
These walls are generally covered by
small banyan tree, called the goju
maru, growing like great vine and
sending out numberless roots which
sometimes reach a hundred feet from
the original stem.
"These also serve as hiding place
for snake, kind of adder, six or
seven feet long, which is the curse of
the islands. Their bite is generally
fatal IN a few hours, and many people
are killed by them each year"
