MEXICAN MINIS
Association Of Mine Owners
Claims the Country Needs
lizard Money"
UNLIMITED silver COINAGE
Expert Says II Old Tlme Minting Plan
Is Re-established Mexico Will
Coin 5oo,ooo,ooo Ounces
Of Silver.

Nogales, Ariz.-The chamber Of com.
merce has Joined with Charles But.
tiers, mining expert Of New York and
San Francisco, to promote the forma.
ton In Mexico of an association Of
silver producers to rebuild the aban.
doned mints throughout the nation
and thus bring about once more the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
Mr.. Buffers, states that IL the old-time
minting plan. is re-established it will
mean that Mexico will coin 5O0,0O0,000
ounces of silver.
The mining expert has extensive in
terests in mines in Mexico, Salvador
and Nicaragua, and is knownsfor his
Introduction OF the cyanide reduction
process into Mexico. He says the
greatest need Of Mexico today is small
change and s%hard money"
Tee Much Paper Money.
The revolutions and the world war,
says Mr., Buffers, have stripped Mex
leo bare Of silver coins. In its place,
he says, is a vast quality Of paper
money issued by the varying govern
ments as fiat money. He blames the
great flood of paper money in Mexico
for most of the suffering In that ma
ton In connection with the various
revolutions.
His plan, backed by the Nogales
chamber Of commece, is to have the
old mints rebuilt and placed in opera
,tion by the association Of silver mine
interests at the cost of the association.
Then the cost Of the renewed mints
would be recovered by the association
from the mint profits over the course
OF years. Upon the paying out Of the
capital charge in restoring the mints
they are to be returned to the Mexi-
can federal government as its prop
erty, to be thereafter operated under
supervision Of the federal government.
Benefits Are ThreefoId.
This system, according to the silver
mine expert, has threefold benefits:
First. it will at once restore to Mexico
the hard money and small change
needed by merchants, banks and bust
ness men and now lacking; second, it
will provide a permanent primary mar
ket at home for large amounts Of sill
yer production; third, it will stabilize
the silver market because the Mexican
home requirements will take up a
great quantity of silver now exported
and sold on a speculation market
through San Francisco for the Orient.
Also this will serve to stimulate silver
production because Of the better mar
ket conditions and thus raise the pri-
mary market price for the semipre.
c1OuS metal.
President Bracey Curtis of the
chamber of commerce has named a
committee of prominent, men to take
up the mint proposal with Gen. Alvaro
Obregon on his impending visit to his
home In Nogales, Sonora, this month.
Meanwhile the proposition will be
submitted by the Nogales chamber of
commerce to the civic bodies of all
other border cities and the. officials of
border states.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
tire public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root 10
soon realized. It stands the highest for
IFS remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
nm interview on the subject, made the as
stOnishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

PUPILS IN OUR SCHOOLS MUST

Develop the Study Gradually through
The Several Grades and Round 1t
Out in The High Schools



A movement to strengthen and org
anize more efficiently the teaching of
North Carolina history in the public
schools Of the state has been launched
at the University of North Carolina
summer school under the general lead
ership Of Prof. M. C. S. Noble, dean of
the school of education.
One hundred and twenty-five teach
ers who have joined with Prof. Noble
in the movement have agreed that the
history OF North Carolina Is worth
more to school children than it is get
ting at present and they say they are
going to show the rising generations a
little more Of the glory of the Old
North State.
''lt is particularly time when North
Carolinians should know their own
state" said Prof. Noble, talking to the
teachers, 'and think we cannot begin
too SOON" Prof. Mobiles plan is to be-
gin the State history in primary grades
chiefly through the telling Of North
Carolina historical stories to the chill
dren at their story hour (,sAnd there is
plenty OF material for good stories in
our history" he said,) to develop it
gradually through the grades, and to
round 1t out in the high schools.
