MEXICO HAS LARGEST TREE
Giant Ahueheute is In oaxaca, and Is to Be Made Center of Great
 State Park.

The Santa Maria de Tula, a giant ahueheute tree in Oaxaca, Mex, is the largest tree on the American continent. In view of this Oaxaca authorities plan to create a state park with the giant as the central point of interest.
 The tree measures, some 12 feet from the ground, 80 feet in diame- ter and over 250 feet in circumfer- ence. That is larger than the largest of the famous California redwood trees.
 The giant belongs to the Mexican cypress family and its name, ahue- huete, in Aztec, means Gold water tree" The Aztecs and most of the other Indian races of Mexico had a profound respect for old things. The giant cypress did not escape their attention, and they discovered that wherever an ahuehuete grew there was water not far from the surface.
 Connected with this is the curious belief that if you place your ear to the roots of the Santa Maria de Tula, you will hear distinctly the murmuring of the subterranean wa ters.
 The "old water tree" in an age of nature worship was dedicated to one of the oldest of the Aztec deities, the goddess of the waters, who was believed to inhabit, at times, the un- derground waters, from which she came, occasionally in the form of 8 beautiful woman.
 After the conquest of the Aztec empire, the Indians continued to worship the old water tree. But aft CT this practice was broken up by the adoption of Christianity, they began to call the big tree Santa Maria (after the Virgin Mary).

Constipation

Constipation of the bow els is a Stoppage of the sewerage system that removes waste matter from the body. Itis as necessary that your bowels move regularly once each day to carry, off this waste as it is that the waste pipes of your home be kept open and car ry off the waste from the house. If you would enjoy good health, keep your bowels regular by talk ing Chamberlain's Tablets when needed. Adv.

SEEKS LAURELS OF COLUMBUS
Japanese Claims His countrymen, Far Back in History, Found and
 Settled in America.

To most illustrious and distin- guished editor of Evening Post from very humble servant, the in significant Lee Toy:
 The lOwly bearer of magic pea cock fan extends most sincere re- gards to all eminent magi of blue pencil.
 The most humble one seeks to cor rect most clever article in your hon. orable paper of date today.
 Most honorable gentleman by name called Hayndman is correct up to certain point, but your humble slave cra7es to set down most im- portant fact.
 In our history, date of which goes too far back to date of beginning, one of our great historians, called Yong Toy, who is remote ancestor of writer, has written that in year 5000 B. c. large village did leave central part of China and travel north to cold country and did cross body of water that was hard like stone due to cold. After crossing they made way south and were seen no more until 2000 B. C., when three men were picked up in a boat who had same name as people of ancient village and who told strange tale of new China on other side of world.
 All wise men of China know that Indians in America are children of old ancient village people.
 If America really wants to give credit of great discovery, why, most learned editor, not give credit to humble countrymen of mine? LEE TOY.-ChicagO Evening Post.

crop outlook is so promising that tue
Poles will not only be able TO supply their
own needs, but to export approximately
twenty thousand carloads OF produce.
Soon after the Reds were defeated be-

THE GREAT DELUSlON.

- Theories of government owned
public utilities are less IN favor here
abouts-and would be less in favor in Ne
braska if they were anything more than
theories. The theory OF munlclpallzed I'd
street cars, and so forth, is all night. Ihe
trouble comes when you try to put these
fine theories into practice
=
Politics is perfectly sure 70 creep IN.
Our administrators OF public works are
invariably human, and usually not men
of the highest ability. The highest ability
is all bid in BY private industry. One gets
public works under the management OF
politicians; and the spur which operates
in private industry-to wit, the necessity
of making the thing PAYS absent II
the works run at a loss, the deficit will be
made up out of taxes One doesn't need
to be economical OF wise. All one needs
to do is to make jobs enough and pay high
enough pay-and the rest is easy. One
holds ones Job; and the public gets ser
vice of an inferior and costly kind with
out having the gumption to do anything
about it.
1t is so fatally easy to forget this. One
can spin a wonderful theory about what
things would be like if only the people
who ran them were what the fancy as
sumes. Nothing is more logical than the
argument for public ownership of public
utilities. Nothing pays better DIVIDENDS
in vote-getting, either. To begin with,
you please all the innocent people who
think the government" can work miracl-
es;and then you please all the people who
know it cannot and who propose to get in
on the DEAL Thus the willy aspirant is
pretty sure of his platform as good one
to get in on, if not to stand on afterwards.
The only skeptics are usually those who
pause to reflect on the low average cslibre
of public servapts-who wouldn't in most
cases be public servants if they could
command adequate pay anywhere else
and those who reason, not illogically, that
out of imperfect managers is pretty sure
to come imperfect management.
We have no enthusiasm left for public
ownership. 1t might be different if We
were running for office-which, if We re-
tain our strength, will never happen.
tu bic ownership is a delusion. 1t seems
very desirable to some people, notably to
the railroad employees, who got taste
of it during the war and relished 1t far
more than did the travelling public. Al
most no one who has ever tried it likes 1t,
unless he happens to be an employee of
the system. Most of the towns hereabouts
that went in for municipal lighting plants
have had to give them up and shameless
ly buy their iluminant from private con
Germs in the next township. The trouble
is the highly practical one that 1t doesn't
work in the way it ought to. Editorial,
