PREDICTS BETTER FEELING BETWEEN
 U. 5. AND MEXICO

Mexico City.-'eWhen President elect Harding enters office I feel sure he will be able to come to an early understanding with President Obre- gon of Mexico"
 This declaration was made here recently by Elmer Dover, close friend of the American President-elect, who, it is reported, has been offered the post of Minister to Mexico if the United States Government recognizes the Mexican Administration.
 In this interview MT. Dover paid high tribute to President Alraro Ob- regon, saying:
 Although I conversed with Pres ident Obregon under the handicap of not understanding Spanish, which made an interpreter necessary, he impressed me and inspired me with great admiration. He is a man of sound ideas, a business man whose purpose is to do for Mexico all that is best. But at the same time he nations. He is of the same mental type as MT. Harding. In fact, one thing that struck me was the sim ilarity in their ways of thinking. The impression I carried away after talk ing with General Obregon is that he is a conservative man, cautious and painstaking and we'll able to guide the deStinies of Mexico. His eyes will met him. They gave immediate con- vincing proof that a strong and alert mind is back of them. "I do not think there is another man in Mexico so we'll suited for the office of President as General Obre- gon. Mexico is fortunate to have Se- lected such an able statesman
 When I say that I think President elect Harding and General Obregon will come to an early understanding I speak as a private citizen. It is merely my opinion. am not here as the epresentative of MT. Harding cannot speak officially. I have not even been asked by any one in the United States to give my impressions | of Mexico.
 .'Cf course, if were to meet MT Harding we may discuss Mexico, bur there is no understanding that I sha1 make a. report. I do not believe that any one who has come to Mexico has l in any way acted for MT. Harding g | He would not send men to Mexico or missions before he entered the White | House and assumed the duties of the | Presidency.
 Mexico Has Great Future. l ''There is nothing mysterious abou' my trip here. I have not tried to hide my affairs One must come here tC know Mexico. My impressions Of the country and very rich While I have been here I have had a glimpse O. | politics in Mexico and T have learned more about them than I could il years by attempting long distance study from Washington.
 'EI believe Mexico has a, great flu | ture. I believe that Mexico will hav1
 both peace and prosperity and tha there will be comm eroial intercours | between Mexico and the United
 States that will be financially val
 uable to both countries"

COLLECTORS SEEK
 AIR MAIL STAMPS

London-Stamp collectors have another variety to add to their al- buns Over 40 varieties of specially designed postage stamps have already been published.
 Italy has the credit of having is sued the first air stamp. This was issued by the Italian postal authoriA ties as long ago as 1917. Other coun- tries which have issued special stamps for this purpose are the Unit ed States, Canada, Newfoun dland, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, Estho- mia, Columbia and the Belgian Congo.

 Ut cost me $400,'' walled Pasquale, as the officer dumped the mash in the back yard ''Why didn't that still come?"
 After arreSting Pasquale the police also took into custody his brother-in- law, Doninick ColuInbi at whose home A barrels of mash were found.
 The police assert the "traveling sti1F' is operated similar to the com munity operation of the threshing machine in rural districts-that is, going from house to house as needed.

ing on this increase the ministers
