HAVE YOU AN IDEA?
Eugene P. Beaumont Had--And Now He Is
Neck Tie King of the World

EUGENE p. BEAUMONT of Buffalo
L. N. Y, thought he was dead broke
But he wasn't, because he had an
idea, plus faith, plus initiative, plus
courage.
Beaumont conducted a little up
stairs waist shop. He invested his
all in material and made it into
waists. Then feminine fashions
always tickle, changed, and he lost
everything.
No, that isn't gate true. He lost
everything but an idea. Deeply in
debt, Beaumont hustled out and Dor
rowed 5000. That took courage, but
he had it. With the borrowed CAPT.
tai Beaumont and his wife started "a
mail order necktie business. That
was less than three years ago.
Now Beaumont Is the Neck Tie
King of the world. At first he
bought his neckties where he
could. Now fourteen necktie
mills are working double shifts
to supply him with ties. In ad-
dition he takes almost the entire
output of garter factory, sus-
pender mill, handkerchief fac
tory, belt factory and several
hosiery mills.
Just big idea born in the BRAIN
of a man who had faith in himself
and his fellows, plus energy and in
dustry. Now he isn't dependent upon
the within of fashions - he makes
fashions.
Did you ever get four nice neck
ties in a package, sent to you on ap-
prevail, with stamped and addressed
container in which to send them back
if you did not want to keep them? If
you did, they came from Beaumont
Doesn't sound like such a big idea,
does it? But it has made Eugene p.
Beaumont millionaire. It has furn.
lshed remunerative employment 10

In token of renewed friendliness
Mexico is extending to the United
States not an olive branch, but stalk
Of grass Thousands of head of cattle
from regions in the southwestern part
of the United States that have suf-
fered from drought, are being sent
into Chihuahua and Sonora where
grass is luxuriant and where in some
localities the late Mexican revolutions
nearly wiped the native herds out of
existence.
Largest Of Mexican states and rich
est in resources, Chihuahua has an
area about twice that of PENNSYLVANIA
but a population only two-thirds that
of Pittsburgh. Were it's lands allo-
Gated among its citizens every five per-
sons might have a square mile.
Such allotments would make many
quintettes of owners fabulously rich
for Croesus might envy the wealth
of some Chihuahua mines. Best
known of these is the historic Santa
Eulalia, II miles southeast of Chihua-
hua City, discovered in 1903, but not
yet exhausted from which have come
millions of dollars worth of silver
Many of the silver mines possess ores
of 30, 60 and even 70 per cent metal,
and there came from one Chihuahua
mine a giant nugget of nearly SOC
pounds of almost pure silver.
Gold, lead, iron and copper also are
mined. Farming is a major industry
of Chihuahua, and it has been stimu-
lated by irrigation projects, though the
agricultural output has been estimated
under normal conditions, to be only
One-fourth as valuable as the minerals
On the plains where grass is the chief
vegetation cattle-raising has always
been extensive. But the most recent,
and potentially one of the most valu-
able industries of the state, Is that
connected with the vast forests. Resin
and turpentine were derived from
some of the mountain timber.
Four-fifths of Chihuahua consists OF
undulating table-lands, for the most
part thousands of feet above sea level
offering extremes of temperature from
the bleak snowclad peaks in winter to
the oppressive heat Of valleys in mid
summer. Rich in resources as is the
state, taken as whole, there are ex-
tensive arid, desertlike areas.
Traces of the Apaches, once the
"cruelest and most treacherous race In
the world" are to be found in Chi.
huahua, as are many cliff dwellings
which have not been studied. The con
quest of these Apaches was one of the
most difficult tasks of the white mans
effort toward peaceful development.

Rich Mining Region.

No part of northern Mexico appears
any too inviting from the car windows
of the railways which enter the coun-
try from the United States, and this
aspect is as marked in Sonora as else
where. This sister state TO Chihuahua,
lying next to the west, is the second
largest Of the Mexican states. and one
OF the richest mining regions in the
world. But the desert hides its best.
Far back in the opal-tinted hills are
green valleys and golden mines. The
stranger sees only the numb misery of
the half-naked Indians, sheltering like
animals in the remains of 'dobe huts
that have been ruined in the fighting
of the past ten years.
The wide plains are empty of life.
The herds have gone to feed the revo-
buttons.
The change in plant and animal life
and industries as you pass from Ari-
iona into Mexico is very slight for the
first 200 miles or more. Had they not
searched your trunk at the custom
house, and maybe charged you duty on
that new camera, you might not have
realized that you had crossed from
tier. 1t is only after you quit the high,
rolling grassy ranges of northern So
nora and strike the Yaqui valley be-
low Guaymas that new world re-
veals itself. Here the bright, colorful
life of the vast coastal plains begins.
The very richness of Sonora's min
eral deposits and the fact that for gen.
erations the Spaniards worked only

reap. tended to keep the country back.

Extension Farm Bureau demon
strator at Orono. NJ. +. Watson of
Orono, extension poultry specialist,
will give talk, his subject being,
Forestry as Related to the Farm
Wood Lot" This Is an especially
timely subject because of the in
creasing scarcity of lumber and
consequent increase in price of lum-
Der products; also in view of the
fact that a great amount of farm
tillage land is being allowed to grow
up. in bushes each year. In addition
to this lecture, business pertaining
to the local organization will be car
ried out. Demonstrators and CO.
operators will be enrolled in the
various projects.
