The Value of Trees

If many of the building sites in Phoenix had been ornamented with at trfIng cost few years ago, they would be worth hundreds of dollars more That ornamentation could have been made at trifling cost and here where trees grow rapidly they would be inviting places. They would tempt persons who otherwise might not have definitely made up their minds to build do
 This is suggested by the experience of the mayor of Charlottesville Ind The mayor is farmer. He had cowlot that slightly rising mound. In 1902 it occurred to him that that mound would some time make good building site. He had no thought then of building it himself, though sometime he some other person might do He planted twelve shade trees around the mound, leaving 100 feet in the a house. The have grown fin now, their branches spreading beautifully around that central spot.
 The which those trees growing worth $20o cowIot. Now it is worth s1.o00 $ a building site wholly because of the trees that planted eighteen years ago.

FINE THREADS

It was TolStoy who told the story or the man who went to a spinner 10 buy some fine threads But the threads the spinner showed him were not fine enough for him.
 The spinner said: If these are not fine enough for you, then here are some others that will suit you
 And she pointed To bare spot, The man declared he could not see them
 The spinner replied: The fact that you can not sec them proves that they are very fine; I can't see them my self
 The fool was rejoiced, and ordered some more of the same thread, and paid down the money for it.
 The story might he satire on the extravagance of the present times. Flush folks demand the finest of ev- erything. They scorn cotton and call for silk. The moderate priced article is rejected with suspicion because l. doesn't cost enough.

The Matter With Mexico

The needs of Mexico are very simple. All II lacks is the means of getting away with the present leaders of today. the bandits and the corruptionists. Then Mexico would forge ahead Even amid turmoil of the factions Mex leo is moving ahead and if let alone would move to civilization and prosperity. The wealth is there and a majority of the people want to develop it. They do so whenever the opportunity offers, how ever slight it may be.
 Some facts and figures for the 1919 Ierinning to come through from the land the Nontezumas. For instance as is well known Mexico s land Its soil is full of white metal and 2 good deal digging was done last year than for many years previously with the result that the sbfnnents to the the twelve months totaIed s10,000,000 more than the previous year.
 The crops in Mexico that year the best in many years and of sold, when shipped out of the country, for the highest figures on record The abundant yield made food plentiful and cheap far cheaper than the United States
 And after all said about the great mineral sources Mexico, and they are great, they are as nothing compared with the great agricultural possi- hilifies of country The future of Mexico is in farming But the prime necessity for successful faru,ing in many of the Mexican states in the arid west of the United States. here for Arizona is irrigation It is interesting to know that the government has worked out great irrigation ,,rocran and is already spending money carry 
 With reasonable scientific education and arement the agricultural possibilities of Mexico fart1e belief No country in world has
 wide variety of soil and climate; within it's terri tor,r can be grown product useful to mankind Every one of thirty states is highly productive
 X noted American agricultural expert after s.;sit to all states yentured the opinion that ..ivep n half hearted effort extend the neglected farming industry Mexico by 1850 will be of the first countries world in the volume of it's agri- cultural products.
 The prosperity of Mexico is linked with that of
