Farm Colonies
To Satisfy Land
Hunger, Mexico

Mexico City.-To satisfy the land
hunger of the Mexican peasantry, the
government is establishing farm col
onies in the states of San Luis Potosi
land Guanajuato. other settlements
/ will be founded as soon as these first
1.-TWO are completely launched.
In these colonies, the small proprie-
tors will live like the Mormons in Chi
huahua and Sonora--each community
having its own streets, market, gar
den, mixed school and moving picture
theater. Apportionment of the adja-
cent farm lands will be made so that
each petty landholder will literally
have his own row to hoe" thus OBJ
waiting one of the greatest causes for
the many recent uprisings that have
occurred in Mexico. Each farmer will
be furnished with agricultural imple
ments anud seed.
These farms will be non-transfera-
BILE in any form, whether by mortgage,
sale or exchange. They may be inher-
tied. however and are to be free from
taxation.
1t is planned to establish the pro-
posed communities near railroad liens,
SO that the products will find ready
markets.

Such was the prayer Of our dear
Mrs. Eldred as she lay patient and
cheerful. suffering year In and year

should bring relief. She always took
a keen interest in the Affairs OF the
town. and until her strength began TO
fail she was an active and interest

work. where her efforts were highly
priced. But the most beautiful OF all
was her devotion 10 her home and
family, and the passing away OF Mr..
Eldred more than a year age; seemed
to take away all the incentive TO live.
How often she would speak OF the
loyalty and kindHess OF her noble
