Mexican Agrdrian
LdlUS Affect q
Large Area

MEXlCO CITY. July ll.-Nearly
9,000,0OO acres of land have been
distributed under Mexico's agrarian
laws and regulations during the
last nine years and the distribution
confirmed by presidential decree,
according to official compilations.
Hundreds of thousands of addi-
iional acres, it is estimated. have
been taken from the owners and
given into the provisional" pos
session of small farmers during the
same period.
In 12S cases, the alleged viola
ton of the property rights of Ameri-
can citizens resulted in vigorous
protests by the United tSates en-
bassy on the ground that the prop
crty in question was being confis-
Gated in violation of international
law.
Although it is pointed out that
the distributions made with presi-
dental approval affects less than
two per cent of MexicO's total area,
il is also noted that the area in
volved is equal to one-half of the
total of cultivated lands in the re-
public.
The best estimates are that the
aggregate of cultivated lands is
barely 17,000,000 acres. as against
presidential distributions during
the last nine years of approximate
ly 8,500.000 acres. Much of the
best land n the republic was in
cluded in these distributions.
Critics of the governments agra
rian policy maintain that these dis
tributions have demoralized agri-
culture. The original owners, it
is asserted, have hesitated to plant
crops for fear of losing both the
land and the harvest, and the new
owners have been unable to culti-
vatc the land to the fullest advan-
tagc.
The state of Chihuahua occupies
first place with 2,500,000 acres dis
tributcd during the nine-year per-
iod. Yucatan comes second with
100000 acres. The governments
figures show that 1871 small towns
and 375,762 persons were favored by
the distributions.

"tWENTY YEARS AGO tastes were simple.
Every farmer had his Studebaker wagon.
u Men shaved once week with Wade and
Butcher razors and said grace over red damask

pillow slips made of "Hope" muslin in rain

''Town Talk soap. The proudest man in town

we have paid more for our material and
more for our labor and in spite of it managed
somehow to sell at lover price without los
ing our profits
we have sold MAGAZINES that cost us over
twenty-five apiece for five cents and still
made money.
We know how to make ice with heat
how to cook with the gas turned off
how to make better shafts for our golf
clubs out of steel tubing
and how to make statesmen, orators, and
brilliant conversationalists out of stammerers.
1t would be surprising If in this heartless
process toward betfern1ent, we did not find at
least few new faces for our Hall of Fame and,
in the same GESTURE, turn few old ones to the
wall.
Which is exactly what is taking place at this

job of shutting the cards.

The whole game has resolved itself into the
science of dealing with the public and when
you are dealing with the public, you are deal

Consequently, itnever pays to take any sue
cess for granted. Without the slightest warn
ing, your set-up can change overnight and
during the approaching period this tendency
will be more acute than ever before.
No one can tell you how to run your business
but in laying your plans for 1928 it is well to

"a little better product than your COM
petitor can produce, little more beautiful,
perhaps, and if possible little less expensive
"a little better knowledge of your market
and closer relationship with it, If possible,
than your competitor enjoys
greater accord and cooperation inside&

one department or no one executive pulls in
selfish direction or plays to the 9randStand.
Most important of all, should say, an AL
most monomaniacal support of and belief in
your sales department and your sales man

of the business in their hands.
incidentally, impress on everyone, from the
errand boy to the chairman of the Board and
your banker himself, that
nobody ever gets good enough to stop
getting better.
Add to this economy and thrift in all your
expenditures, realizing that in thing, for
example, like your advertising, there is no
sense in shooting canary bird with a cannon
or blindly budgeting millions where fifth

fill the space with copy five times as strong.
By sticking to these fundamentals and ally

Our function is to assist manufacturers in
consolidating sales and converting inventory
at profit.
And we are proud to point to number of
great prominent national successes to which
we have materially contributed.
