OPENING UP A NEW COUNTRY
Territory of ouintana Roo, Yucatan.
Being Developed by Aid Of
Caterpillar Tractor.

A territory covering $4,000 square
miles. which is only 900 miles south
of New Orleans and reported to be
almost unknown, has been invaded by
an American caterpillar tractor. This
territory, twice the size of Massachu
sets, possessing vast unexpected nat
ural resources, practically without
population and nearly 300 miles from
north to south, possessing a coast line
of probably twice that length, is called
the Territory of Quintana Roo, PENN
sula of Yucatan, Mexico. The govern
ment is territorial, the capital is Santa
Cruz de Bravo, a town of about $500
midway down the Mexican Gulf coast
and most Of the remainder of the 5000
population are located in the villages
of Payo Obispo, Cozumel and Becalar.
Modern transportation facilities are
non-existent, but the advent within
the past month Of the caterpillar trac-
tor in the forests of Quintana Roo is
the initiation OF the development Of its
soil. which is claimed to be suitable
for the production of corn, cotton,
beans, coffee, indigo, rubber, sugar
cane, tobacco, sweet potatoes, pepper,
henequen and tropical fruits.

BIa Cats Like catnip, Too.

We have all heard that cats like
catnip. 1t remained for government
scientists to apply this knowledge
practically to the big cats. They found
the hunting Of mountain lions and
bobcats with dogs and guns to pre-
vent destruction of Western cattle
was an expensive proposition. Then
they thought of catnip. Large quanti-
ties of this aromatic herb were raised
From this chemists extracted the oil
which gives it it's odor. Now it Is no.
longer necessary to look up the lions
They walk right into traps scented
with catnip oil.

There was girl in New York city
who had been working for eight years
without a vacation. She was thin,
white, and her shoulders were stopped.
She had an old mother dependent
upon her. and for eight years she bad
been toiling to free their home from
the incubus of debt. One night she
took an elevated" home. In her hand
she tightly clutchet An envelope. She
ran all the way up the street and

hurried into the room where her

tAEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS,
MOSCow's FIRE DEPARTMENT

MOSCOW'S FIRE DEPARTMENT
On the first page of this issue is
printed a letter which the MOSCOW
Volunteed Firemen have addressed tc
the citizens of Moscow. 1t shows
what their funds are used for and
gives some comparative figures of the
cost of volunteer department VS.. a
paid department.
1t is estimated that it would cost
the taxpayers of Moscow $4,000 a
year to hire men to do the fire fight
ing which these men are doing for
nothing In other words, this small
group of men is donating $4,000 worth
of time to the people of Moscow every
year. To pay for that service would
necessitate a tax that would amount
to about $1.50 for every man, wo-
man and child in the population.
These men are willing to continue
to donate $4,000 worth of service to
the people of Moscow if the people
will spend about one-sixth of that
amount for tickets to their annual
dance. Property owners are partic-
ularly indebted to the department,
but every resident has some worldly
possessions which are under the pro-
lection of the fire fighters.
Experience of the last twenty-five
no 20 Of
that your neighbours wife hurries up
the kitchen fire with gasoline is no
worry of yours. No fire has consum-
ed more than the the building in
which it originated in that length of |
time, in Moscow.
Superior equipment and few good
times together every year is what it
takes to make them proud Of their
department and proud of their mem
would make Jack dull boy and
dull fire department would be worse
than a dull boy. A substantial sur
plus should be on hand to pay men
for time lost due to accidents suffer-
ed while doing this volunteer work
for the benefit of the people of Mos
COW. 1t is dangerous work but the
firemen are willing to take the chance
if you will guarantee to take care of
them and provide for their families
when they get hurt.
Everyone can afford to contribute
the price of ticket, and most people
can afford to contribute the price of
several tickets. Let's do it.

THE FARMERS BUYING POWER
What the farmers purchases means
to the markets of the country was
explained in new terms to the mem
bers of the Petroleum Institute
meeting in ST. Louis, by E. T. Mere
dith, former secretary of agriculture
Each of the 100000 farms in the
United States is small factory, in
Mr. Meredith's phrase, and all these
Industrial units in a great national
enterprise engage the services of 3d.
100000 men and women, and on
them live number of children, puta-
lively apprentice farmers. estimated
at 100000. The total investment
in buildings of these small factories
is $4,000 100000, in which the
yearly renewal cost amounts to $780,
100000, and the total invested in ma
chinery is $3,600,0OO,00O with denew-
al cost reaching s36O,OOO,OOO year.
Whether or not these factories are
prosperous, from $10,000,000,000 to
$4,000, 100000 must be spent by
them for upkeep offsetting deprecia-
ton, for the maintenance of their
huge personnel, for miscellaneous
and personal expenses. These trans
actions, small singly, for the most
part, but reaching a tremendous vol
ume in the gross, are of vast impor-
lance to the other factories of the
country, to the production in other I
than farm lines. and probably explain |
some rather puzzling phenomena in !
times of general business depression, /
for needed products continue to
trickle out to the farms when almost
everybody else has seemed to stop
purchases. If the supply of bare es-
sentials means so much to the gen.
eral markets, we can imagine what
on the farm would mean
to many forms of production that (

nands. Only 10 per cent of these ,

prices for crops permit. But per

per cent have tractors, or 5 per cent

haps it is this far-away point of satu-
ration on the farm that the motor
manufacturers have In mind when
with a record production of 100000
motor vehicles of all types during the
current year, they are confidently lay
ing plans for a further astonishing
