Land In Mexico
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, Aug. 30.-The re-
public of Mexico is being quietly,
peacefully, rapidly colonized by Ger
mans.
This is the word brought back by a
traveller who has just returned, and
who mas exceptional facilities for
learning the facts. Though a native
citizen of the United States he is of
Spanish blood, speaks and writes
Spanish as well as English, and has
many friends and relations in Mexico.
He travelled all over the republic seek.
ing options On land for American cap
italists. He talked 10 Mexicans of all
classes in their own language and as
one of their own race. He got facts
which are not accessible to reporters
and politicians in Mexico City.
What this man saw in Mexico was
a young country going through phase
OF swift development through coloni
zatio nand investment. While Amer
lean politicians and capitalists are
trying to formulate a policy toward
Mexico, and trying to educate the
American people TO accept that policy
Mexico herself is becoming a differ
ent country. They have thought OF
her as bankrupt and starving AS q

the Germans and other Europeans.
Furthermore, the Americans form
small groups and keep to themselves
They seldom intermarry with the Mex
leans, and often they do not even
learn the language. This man was
surprised to find many Americans who
had been in Mexico for years could
not speak Spanish.
IN word, while the United States
holds a political club over Mexico's
head, by reason of the Monroe doctrine
and the great American investments
I'M Mexico, Europe is really taking
possession of the country, and it is a
Europeaenized Mexico that we will
have to deal with within a few years
more.
The opportunities for obtaining rich
land in Mexico, provided you are will
ing to take your chances with unstable
political conditions, are probably not
rivalled anywhere in the world In
the first place, the Mexican govern
ment welcomes the bona fide settler
and provides him with land on ex
tremely attractive terms. In the sec
! ond place, the owners of the great
| land grants, who are being dispossess

eminent under the new Mexican con
| stitution, are ready to sell for a song

effectively in only one way, and that is by al
general revival of business activities, to which
all our efforts should be directed
What is true of the nation is true of the
state. The cost of labor and materials, although
descending, still is too high to justify any ex-
tensive program of highway building at this
time. We need the roads, but we can wait for
them better than we can wait for other
things and better than we can endure increased
taxation. The building of mile of road in Ohio,
for instance, is out of proportion to its value
an improvement. The people have to pay for
these things whether they are property owners
or not-they pay in increased rentals and ad-
vanced prices demanded by those who are own
ers of tangible taxable property.
Materials Of every kind are too high, labor
is too high, both legacies of the war. Other
things slowly coming down business re-
adjusts itself to present conditions. Materials
and labor which go into road building and house
construction also must come down if we are to
enjoy any stable prosperity. As Senator Lodge
said every effort must be directed to the revival
of business activities in general. And while en-
gagged in that all-essential effort the roads well
can wait awhile

REALISM.
BY WALT MASON


I took slice of haTd-earned kale to
Jimpson's bookstore, Fifth and Pine,
and bought a realistic tale the critics
doomed as something fine 1t treated
of a Narrow Shack" inhabited by
dreary skates; each bore, until he
sprained his back, a sordid load of
deadly hates. The husband loathed
his sloppy wife, and she detested him
so much he simply poisoned all her
life-she shuddered at his merest
touch. The son was married TO a
freak, who hated him in forty ways;
he hated her till she grew weak and
finished out her futile days. The
daughter hated all the world; she
lacked all beauty and all grace; in
vain her hay-like hair she curled, and
kalsomined her ghoulish face. Dissen-
sion was that households law and
anger was its daily bread; and all
hands hated Pa and Ma, and thought
that they were better dead. There
may be households such as this, in our
broad land where millions live, bleak
homes that know no JOY or bliss
where all hearts hate and none forgive
Ours is a mighty land, gadzooks, and
IL must hold some queer galoots; but
why write long and turgid books about
the foul, abysmal blutes? When
pick up a betty tome l like to meet
such characters as I might welcome in
my home-not yapping, hating, snarl
ing ours.

The Best Marketing system.


A. j. Mcclure of University farm,
dairy authority with the agricultural,
extension division, says that the CO.
operative creameries of Minnesota
paid for themselves last year in in
creased price which they paid for but
terfat. There is no marketing sys-
TEN in the United States, he declares,
equal to the system developed by
creamerics.
The year 1919 will be remembered
as a great year for dairy farmers, but
Mr.. Mcclure demonstrates that 1920
was even better for cooperative
crcameries. Records of the 600 CO.
operative creameries of Minnesota
show that they made about the same
amount Of butter in 1920 as in 1919.
However, the 1920 price was a little
higher than the 1919, and the cream
cries that made first grade butter in
1920 showed good gains.
Mr.. Mcclure says the best paying
cooperative creameries paid an ave-
rage price of 70 cents a pound for
butterfat in 1920. A great number
paid from 81 to SO cents, and the
average for the 600 cooperative
creameries of the state was around
65h cents. The average net price
paid by cream stations for centralized
creameries was not above 81 cents.
