 Dallas, Tex, Nov. 17.-Foreign monopoly Of Mexican trada, credited heretofore to Germany, has teen prac- tieaay captured since the overthrow of Carraaza, t was revealed today in q study of statiet.cs on American and Mexican trade relations. Sup Fress on af Lan55ry on the Mazcan Jorder ba made commerce. dspeuaa F and has opened a new era in trade de. e.opmlnt 90 far as American mer- chants are concerned.
 Merchants in the southwestern states especially are being benefited by the change, and have worked az gressively to break the German mono poly, How well they have succeeded is shown by the considerable balance now being thrown to American con- cerns entering the Mexican field under protection of the Hureta government. Sterilization of Mexican currency, proposed by the incoming Obregon administration, will also aid the ef- forts of Americans to monopolize Mexi- can trade particularly to the exclus- ion of Germany.

 The imprisoned men were found un- conscious. Their removal from the shaft occupied more than two hours. Efforts are being made to revive them and the eleven men rescued this morning, whose condition is compara- lively better than those last rescued.

A SENIOR GIFT

In the past In this High School 1t
has been customary for the Senior
classes as they go forth from our halls
NJ opportunity to leave a class pen
nant as a parting gift or token of love
for their alma Mater" These gifts
have been appreciated and class pen
nant are fine and all that but we are
progressing here in our school, SO why
keep the old customs forever? The
remnants (some of them at least are
pretty. but why hang them In the as
sembly room? Space there Is limited
and besides they serve as germ and
dust collectors. II we want remnants
up why not hang them In the halls?
Since there Is no educational value In
remnants, in place OF them on the
walls OF the assembly several good
pictures would be very appropriate.
Nothing adds more TO the beauty OF a
DOT than good pictures artistically
arrange-to say nothing of the educa-
tionai value in them. Or we might
suggest some good song books or nice
statuary or a stage curtain or book
cases or even books. Something OF
the sort will be appreciated much
ore by the coming students than an
old dusty, faded pennant. We do not
pretend to be dictatorial but we are
only Offering this as a suggestion to
the present senior class an we under
stand they have notayet decided upon
their gift. n

Spring Is here eud "a young mans
fancy lightly turns to thots" Of base
ball. And why not q baseball team,
Surely there ID nothing better to de-
veiop the muscles OF the youth who
has been or less kept from ex-
ercisins during the long winter
months. Every red-blooded American
loves tho game and likes to play.
There's no reason why Miller High

schools. Let's set to circling the
diamond!
And while we're speaking OF base
bail. why should We conine It to tho

would be better for the girls than an

renewed pa" And vitality to spare
