GUATEMALA: LAND OF
UPHEAVALS AND
PROGRESS.

A condition OF upheaval, not neces-
sarily from political causes, is moth
ing new to the republic of Guatemala.
This country has wonderfully rich and
fertile soil and it's climate rarely Is
equaled.
The city of Guatemala, which is now
partially rebuilt, was the scene of one
Of the most violent earthquakes known
I'm Central American history. This
earthquake extended over several
months during the latter part Of 1917
and the early months of 1918. 1t be-
gan November II, 1917. On Christ

beneath full moon In an untroubled
sky, the pOpulace huddled watching
in fear and misery their homes, the
trees, and the earth as well, creep,
writhe and twist.
On the night Of January "a, the
moon again beamed from a cloudless
sky upon these people as they saw
nearly every remaining edifice in their
city tumble in whirlwinds of dust.
The tremOrs seemed to center under
the very city itself, and spectators
have said that they feared that the
earth would give away and volcano
form in the very heart Of the city.
Houses and bell towers crumbled, wa
ter mains were broken, the sewage
oOzed up In the streets and, In the
cemeteries, skeletons were shaken out
of their collins.
One can take a steamer from New
Orleans and In three days reach Puer-
to Barrios, on the Gulf of Amatique,
along the sunny eastern shores of the
country, where stately palms wave in
greeting.
Along this seacoast and farther in
land large banana plantations cover
thousands Of acres This one compar-
atlvely small country raises for its
own and the outside worlds consump-
ton about ten million punches of ba-
nanas a year. The valley of the Mo-
tagua river Is considered one of the
most densely vegetated regions of the
world.
But the most important crop Of the
state Is coffee. In 1918 Guatemala
produced about one hundred and ten
million pounds Of coffee, more than
seventy million pounds Of which were
exported to the United States.
In the mountains of southwestern
Guatemala live pure-blOoded Indians
who have won admiration Of travel
ers for their physique, cleanliness and
scrupulOus honesty. One visitor tells
Of trying to buy ring from an In
dian girl, who refused to sell because
the jewel was not pure gold, and she
did not wish to sell a stranger an

Coming from Trieste, one skirts the

Let Your Voice Be Heard

Farmers sometimes have been hampered by il-advised
action in Washington. Congress and department
heads have seemed out of touch with rural thought
and deeds. Other interests have absorbed too much
of the attention of national officials.
This has happened because the single farmer sell
dom make his voice heard 1t is time that Congress
gave heed to the great agricultural population.
And when farmers wants expressed through
common spokesman backed by an increasing num-
Der of farmers, Washington must listen and act.
