TOLL WILL PROBABLY
 BE THOUSANDS
Damage So Widespread Fix act Number May Never
 Be Known.

Mexico City, Jan. f.---Hundreds possibly thousands. of lives were lost as result of the earthquake which shook the state of Vera Cruz Saturday night. So widespread was the damage done by the shock and so wild are some of the sections that suffered from it that it is probable the number of casualties will never be known
 Private despatches received here from Vera Cruz and Ja1apa state that 1,Oo0 persons lost their lives at Couzt- Ian. These reports, which are said at both cities to be reliable, confirm in- fornamtdon given out last night by presidential military headquarters Thirty lives were lost at Teocelo. where three churches and 40 houses were destroyed.
 Volcanic eruptions have occurred at Cofre de Pertte, from which point to the volcano of Orizaba the shock seemed to center, according to rumors.
 Twenty bodies have been recovered from the Pescados at Jalcomulco and Apazapan.
 There were three slight shocks yes- terday, according to information gfv- en out yesterday afternoon at the astronomical observatory at Taco baya, a suburb of Mexico City.
 Travellers returning here from Vera Cruz say some streams were dried up as a result of the shock and it is feared that many mills near Orizaba which depend upon water power will be compelled to close.
 Several oil wells near Tuxpam have been spouting petroleum since the earthquake, according to adviees from Vera Cruz.

HEARINGS ON CASES OF 500
 REDS BEGUN
Ellis Island Opened To Ca pacity As Concentration
 Center.

New York, Jan. 7-Hearings in the cases of more than 500 'reds'' held at Ellis Island on deportation pro- ceedings began today before immi- grafton inspectors. They were taken singly from the detention quarters to smaller hearing rooms where a stenographer recorded their testi- mony. They were asked whether they were members of the Communist party and whether they believed in the overthrow of the government of the United States by violence.
 The speed at which the hearings will be completed will depend on the attitude of the reds. Byron H. Uhl, acting commissioner at the island, es- timated that the force of inspectors could complete from 30 to 40 hear ings daily. unless the extremists prove recalcitrant and interpose technical objections. With a hostile witness before an inspector, he said, it might take a whole day to complete one hearing.
 Speedy completion of deportation prehminaries is not expected.
 Washington, Jan. To provide 8 place of concentration for the radical aliens taken in the recent raids by the Department of Justice, the De- partment of Labor today took steps to reopen Ellis Island. N. T.. to it's full capacity.

 Assurances have been received that sufficient funds would be forthcom- ing from congress to enable the bu- reau to handle the deportations with out difficulty, it was said.

Now don't you all think that it would
be a grand thing if we all could have
real cooperation in each community?
Well, mean by real cooperation, that
is the kind where everybody cooper
ates with his neighbor, not only in
helping to sell your produce, but as
we'll in all other community affairs.
We should all work together for the
upbuilding of our community. And We
can have that kind of cooperation if
we will gain the confidence of our
neighbors by treating each and every
one just as we would have them treat
US. As, for instance, to begin with, we
will say if our neighbors should hap
pen to need some of our produce for his
own use and we have it to sell, we
should sell it to our neighbor at a
much less profit than we should expect
to get by hauling it off to town. Don't
be greedy ard selfish, and don't think
that just because he has to buy 1t you
should stick him for all or more than
you could get for it after you had
hauled it ten or twenty miles to mar
ket, but be reasonable and sell to him
just as you would like him TO sell to
you if you had to buy. And don't for
get that there may come time when
you will have to buy. And l am sure
that If you treat your neighbor right
he will return the favor at the first
opportunity. So let US enjoy real life
by beiag neighborly and accommodate
ing to each other and we will find that
we are more prosperous and happy
Now wish to say in regard to an
ex-soldier wearing his uniform after he
has been discharged from the service
that, personally. think we should not
