Mexico, geographically, is logical American market We are getting large Mexican trade, but we ought to be getting more. The Mexican merchants and the Mexican Govern ment are most anxious that it le ex- tended. The merchants would rather receive their goods in days after ordering them than in weeks, and the people of that country are now showing a preference for articles of American make over those of Euro pean make. We could get more Mex ican trade by extending credit to the business men of the country as are the English, French and thos SC of impoverished Germany. The Gov ernment of Mexico and the business men of Mexico are very desirous that the trade of that country with the United States should be in- creased. They want to do business with Americans and want America for their best friend.
 Bids for American Capital
 Mexico is also very anxious to ge. Americans to invest capital in that country, and excellent inducemen $ are being offered to bring that a5 ,u+. President Obregon, in a recent mes sage to American business men. pre- scented this desire of the Mexican

HEARING s OPEN ON MEASURES OF RE REORGANIZATION
Senate Committee Takes Up
 Measures Introduced by New and Cummins.
PROPOSALS APPROVED
 BY TWO DEPARTMENTS
Senator Cummins Insists on Transportation Feature
 Being Retained.

WASHINGTON. Nov 9.-Hearings on proposals for reorganization and consolidation of bureaus connected with the government of Alaska were begun yesterday afternoon before the Senate committee on territories, of which Senator Harry S. New, of In diana, is chairman. There are two this matter, one being sponsored by Senator Cummins and the other by Senator New.
 Hoover, Approves Consolidation
 Secretary Hoover, appearing before the committee, said his department considered the proposed consolidation of government bureaus in Alaska ad- visable in the interest of increased efficiency
 Lieut.. Com H. G. Hamlet, of the Coast Guard, representing the Treas ury Department said that consolida- tion would facilitate the work of the departments but questioned the wis dom of a provision of the Cummins' bill which would extend the jurisdic- tion of the Interstate Commerce Com mission over the Alaska Railroad at least until it has a rail terminus in the United States. Private enter prise, he added, would not furnish transportation facilities in extension of the present Government Railroad until it was put on paying basis. He proposed furnishing vessels from the Shipping Board.
 John Ballaine said that there is not enough traffic in Alaska to warrant

Mexico Is Logically an American Market Resources Immense.
 Rv MRS JOHN w TROY
By MRS. JOHN w. TROY.

Government and the logic of the situ- ation very clearly in these few words
 Not a country in the world offers so many opportunities for business enterprises as Mexico. And no other country has such surplus of money for investment as the United States. There is no excuse for the two coun- tries not to meet on common 'ound. If they fail to do so the fault will not lie with Mexico"
 A volume might be written and convey no more meaning or clearer cut picture than these three sen tences.
 If American capital were invested in Mexico 1t would immeasureably in crease the demand for American products in that country The de. velopment of the country would ere ate need for American machinery and all manner of manufactured ar ticles. It, also, would add to the purchasing power of the Mexican people.
 Increases Imports From America
 In the calendar year of 1920 Mexico bought more than $2O7, 100000 worth of American goods. In the fiscal year ended with June 30, 1921, she

Highball R. R. Helps Out Unique Train Operated

So the Highball wends her. merry way almost unheedful of a schedule, for she will drop off fisherman or hunter in any hour in the dead of night at any place he chooses to se- lect, station or no station; or one of the crew may wish to dig bushel of potatoes growing in the field near the tracks. The Highball waits. Or it may stop at a little cottage just around a curve where little woman is nursing back to health husband with cough. The Highball stops while the crew takes up collection of butter. eggs and potatoes gathered along the right-of-way.
 Truly. the Highball is unique as train running in this advanced age.
