 AREHAPPYIN
 NEW HOMES

FL PASO, Texas, July 12. - "We have found peace. We are happy" This is the message coming out of Mexico today from the Mennonite pilgrims, who less than three months ago left their lands in Manitoba, Can, to settle on a tract of 100000 acres in Chihuahua, Mexico.
 On the vast tableland which this religious sect purchased in order to live and rear their families according to their creed, vast change has al ready taken place, according to John F. D. Wiebe, who aided the Menno- mites in locating in their promised land"
 The wilderness has given way to works of civilization. Large areas already are under cultivation. Upon the plain has risen quiet village with it's stores and shops, it's churches and schools. Fat cattle graze in the new country, lowing contentedly as the shadows lengthen and the sound of the church bells calls the sturdy plodding men of the fields to tWi- light worship.
 The first army of Mennonites of the thousands who will leave Canada for Mexico consisted of 1000 persons with their household effects, farm ma chinery and live stock. Reports com ing out of Mexico that this vanguard had fallen among thieves" is en- phatically denied. There has been no banditry nor outlawry, according to Wiebe, who has recently returned from visiting the colony.
 The Mennonites are well liked by the Mexicans and are contented with their new homes. They have been quick to adopt Mexican methods where useful and many of the new homes are being built of adobe in true Mexican style.
 "The Monnettes are happy" Wiebe said. "They are busy planting and building. Their children are in school. their cattle fat. There is little sick ness and they are quickly adapting themselves to the warm climate.
 "A thousand more Mennnoites will soon join the advance guard. They will have the advantage of lower freight rates, saving nearly $2,500 on each trainload from Manitoba, and they will find arrangements con- plete for them to take their land and start to develop it upon arriving"
 And back to the rich land of Mani toba which the Mennonites are giv- ing up in order to worshop as they please, word has been sent by those who braved the first exodus: Come, our people, all is we'll here. We have labored hard, but happiness has come with our labor"
