C. BURRIS CATCHES RACCOON
A Big One Weighing 26 Pounds Cap
tured on Woodland Beach Marsh

Clarence Z. Burr1s, well known
trapper was successful in trapping a
large raccoon on his marsh near
Woodland Beach on Friday. The rae
coon weighed twenty-six pounds and
is believed by many to be one that
has been in this section for the past
ten years. Burris caught the animal
in a large steel trap set in shallow
stream where it had gone to feed on
mussells. One of its toes had been
cut off it is thought, several years
ago. Several of the teeth of the an
imal were also missing. Due to many
trying to bag this raccoon for several
years, Burris prizes his catch very
highly.

APPROACH to that ideal. There can be
no political freedom without economic
freedom" has been the slogan of nearly
every leader for generation and par
ticularly of the present government
The problem is to use Mexico's resources
to meet her domestic needs. This
theme crops up in every phase of her
economic being, not simply in such
major elements in commerce as GUS
toms tariffs, railway policies and road
construction. but also in such sec
ondary questions (from the strictly
commercial viewpoint) as education Tin
the matter of training in industrial and
agricultural schools. in taxation fla
voring newer industries). in agrarian
and labor legislation and in many other
lines of economic and social endeavor.
The early fruits of this policy we're
evident in the development far back in
the nineteenth century of substantial
shoe and cotton induStries-two items
which had long been prominent in Mex
ican imports, but for which ample raw
materials we're available there. The
cotton factories go back to the earliest
years of the republican fact, there
were nearly 60 factories producing a
total Of 100000 bolts of goods a year
before the war of 1846-48.
Altogether this policy of self-sub-
sistence naturally has fundamental
bearing upon our commerce with the
republic. since our commerce is the
largest fraction of her total foreign
trade in both directions. but before
going into the details it might be we'll
to note few phases of the funda-
mental economic position of Mexico
which makes such a policy especially
significant. In the first place. it Is well
to bear in mind the vast diversity OF
geographic and therefore commercial
conditions of the country. Unlike many
parts of Latin America. Mexico is by nc
means lone crop" land. Though pc.

an average of 37.6 per cent of the tota,
