MExICO'S BURDEN

Nineteen years of revolutionary strife have imposed
upon Mexico . cost in lives lost, men manned. property
lost and national debt incurred which equals the horrors
of devastation suffered by the nations most seriously
scourged by the World war.
Figures compiled by General Candida Aguliar, veteran
Of the revolt against the Diaz regime in 1910. foreign min
lister under Carranza and later governor Of Vera Cruz.
give : new and more appalling significance to the long
chain Of civil wars below the Rio Grande. In the light
Of these statistics the Mexican revolutions appear highly
consequential and cease to appear as opera bouffe.
Nineteen years Of internal strife have left a record Of
100000 dead, a greater number wounded. a billion and q
quarter in national debt incurred. property losses actu-
ally beyond estimate and national progress retarded a
generation.
With these compelling figures before them the Mexi-
can people ought to be In q mood for prolonged, if not
perpetual, peace. War-weariness in itself ought to pro-
vide the opportunity for q surcease Of slaughter and a
rehabilitation Of Mexican life In It's every branch. It
should be nearly impossible to organize a revolt against
even the most corrupt and despotic Of governments at
this time. and It is believed that the present govern
ment is both honest and competent.

A COURT

a COURT INCIDENT
A South Bend. Ind. Judge turned to
the husband Of a plaintiff in his court
and ordered him to take his wife
home and see that she wore more
clothes. His outbreak occurred af-
ter the calling of her cas- concern
ing an attempted assault.
Just n more of the many flag
rant episodes occurring privately and
publicly constantly which attempt to
foist mans guilt upon woman's. And
any supposed civic leader such as a
judge, who would attempt to shield
a male assaulter and blame a woman
for her attire, is hardly worthy Of his
job. Funny, too, Is his assumption
that any husband could control his
wife's dress to any extent.

GALL QUIET"
It's not "a woman's book" except
as it deals with human life, young,
striving. tender human life, but If you
never have and never will read an
other book. read "All Quiet on the
Western Front" by Erich Remarque.
With no exception. the best war
story and one of the most sincere
and vivid pieces of writing Of all time.
The author, strictly Speaking. is not
an author merely a boy who lived
through the war. and therefore could
write about it better than all the

ON THE JOB

Although We usually speak Of a business career as
"humdrum" and unexciting, Vice President :. II. Bar
ringer. Of the National Cash Register company, insists
that the business world offers the surest road to romance
Of any calling in America.
Mr.. Barrineer doesn't quite make the romantic aspect
OF business clear; which, after all. is no wonder, for TO
nance is something that cannot be described or defined.
He talks rather vaguely of the glamour OF setting your
self a goal and SO on: but although his argument isn't
always plain, it is obvious that he has enjoyed his busl-
ness career right up to the hilt. Consequently, the busi-
ness world has been a world Of commerce. to him-and
the young man who is resolved upon a life OF adventure
might think over what he has to say.
Mr.. Barringers remarks are useful. In a day Wnen IL
is the fashion to speak of romance as dead-killed by
mass production and steam engines. most lkely-t Is
good to be reminded that romance Is chiefly a state OF
mind. II you have 1t inside Of you, you'll find 1t. no mat
ter what your job Is.
An airmail pilot, who flew in the early days when the
Job was rather more risky than it is now, once remarked
that the chief difficulty on those night flights over the
perileus Alleghenies was to keep from falling asleep.
The captain OF an old-time square rugged sailing vessel.
whose Job required him to make the famous. glamorous
trip around Cape Horn twice a year, told his friends that
his great ambition was to quit the sea and retire to q
chicken farm In the middle west, far from salt water.
A civil engineer who returned not long ago from a bill
let on a mountain in the Malay jungles could talk Of
nothing but the "insufferable boredom Of life in that
far-off and supposedly enhancing country.
And then, to balance these men, who were bored stiff
by tasks that most of us would call the last word In ro-
nance, the vice president Of q manufacturing company.
whose first Job was that Of a shut-in filing clerk, pro-
claims that q business career is fairly dripping with ro-
martic adventure.
Romance, apparently, Is not exactly what we generally
suppose it to be.
It doesn't depend on remote corners Of the earth, peril
Gus chances or oriental sunrises. It is all q matter Of
living intensely-of c~ontriving to get every ounce of en-
ergy into the daily routine, OF exercising every last bit Of
ones ability to do. to experience and to comprehend.
That is not always easy. Yet 1t doesn't depend SO much
on outside circumstances. The world of romance. like the
kingdom Of heaven and every other desirable goal, lies
within us. And the best way to find it, usually, is to
forget al about it and plunge with all that you have into
he routine at hand-the job, friends and the little pleas
Tres Of day-to-day living.

THE PERILs OF THE SUBMARINE

When the American submarine 81 went down off
Provincetown two years ago there was a great deal of
criticism Of our navy department. The sinking Of the
s4 was the second big submarine disaster we had had
In q comparatively short time: and many people felt that
our naval executives must be somehow slipshod or care
less.
Now, however, the tragic accident to the British sub
marine Hat puts . different light on things. For it de-
velops that Britain, too. has had submarine disasters in
peace time. In 1872 the British HAP went down with all
hands after conidins with q destroyer. In 1925 the MI
went down with So men. In 1891 the HIS sank and took

Question-M. K. asks: 'Eow does
tuberculosis of the bone start, and
what is the cause Of the d~isease?"
Answer-The cause Of bono tn.
berculosis Is practically the same rs
that of tuberculosis in any other part
of the body. There Is q long period
of e%nervation and q gradual building .
up OF q poisoned state Of the blood. :
Often q bruise or blow seems to start
the trouble, but the real cause Is from

Spinach

impossible to get spinach in 3 res
taurant that is free from sand and
grit. Will you please state in your
column II 1t Is possible to thoroughly
clean this king Of vegetables and
how it is done?"
Answer know It Is true that the
greatest objection to spinach you get
in restaurants is because the cooks
are careless about the preparation of
it. This Is Of the principal rea-+
sons why spinach is not used in the
cheaper restaurants. It requires q
long time to prepare It by washing inv
several waters, and many restaurant
managers feel that their patrons are
not willing to pay enough for spin
ach to justify taking the time neces-
Sary to properly clean It. To clean
spinach at home you should separate
all the leaves and hold each leaf un-
der running water, placing the washed
leaf in a clean dish, the safer plan
being to wash each leaf the second
time. placing in another clean dish.

Tight money conditions will make it possible for the
United States treasury to buy in at 80 cents on the dollar
part of the outstanding three and one-half per cent treas
ury notes which mature from 1880 to 1882. The govern
ment exchanged them at par for second Liberty loan
bonds in March. 1927. and proposes to buy them in now
to the face value of SIS O0o 600. taking advantage of their
depressed value and netting the government a profit of
$l.ooo.Ooo.
This is another example OF the skill with which the ma
tional treasury operates under Mellon management. It
is money in the pockets Of the taxpayers to have govern
ment finance thus conducted as capably as are the fl
nancial operations of great corporations managed by
high priced experts for private gain.
The government cannot be unfavorably criticized for
redeeming its own securities at less than the pledged
amount. for it was not the government that forced down
their value and by redeeming them before their maturity
date the treasury is granting a financial boon to the
holders who want their money now and would have to
sell on the market for even less than 90. The govern
ment has done nothing to injure its own credit.

FARMER MAKES MONEY
ON POTATO CROP

When the county agent visited S.
B. Ragsdale of Prosser last week.
he found that Mr.. Ragsdale was
planning on planting approximate
ly so acres of potatoes this year.
Mr.. Ragsdale stated that while ne
did not make any large amount
from his potato crop last year, he
did make enough to pay him for
his labor, and intended to plant his
usual acreage again this year. Mr..
Ragsdale has ordered carload of
certified seed from an Idaho grow
er for use in the planting of the
crop. The seed is being purchased
from the same grower from which
he bought last season.
Mr.. Ragsdale farms $50 acres
by rotation which maintains the
humus supply of the soil and there
by enables him to get a large per-
centage of u. S. No. rs. His rota-
ton follows. Wheat in which sweet
clover is seeded. This is cut Tor
GRAIN and threshed. The sweet clio,
ver is pastured during the fall
and following spring with small
herd of Holstein cattle. About May
/, the stock is taken off and the
mower run over any patches OF
clover which stock has left and the
the sweet clover irrigated. About
June /, he begins preparation for
planting. The soil is disked, plowed
and seeded to potatoes the same
day whenever possible after it has
been irrigated so as to get as much
moisture as possible to allow the
soil to work well. The next year
this same field is again seeded to
sweet clover and wheat and the
same operation repeated until the
land has been cropped to wheat
and potatoes for six years. Follow
ing this it is seeded to alfalfa crop
and the alfalfa then remains in for
a six-year period. The alfalfa crop
in the past has been fed to cattle.
Mr.. Ragsdale does not know just
what class of livestock he will DE
feeding this coming winter.
Mr.. Ragsdale's pit was visited
this winter at the time when he
was shipping potatoes. At that
time the county agent commented
that the grade as being selected
was clost to U. S. No. rs altho they
were being sold as a.80-20 grade.
A little later the grade was check
ed up and the purchaser lowered
MS standing of grade so as to make
it much nearer the grade which
was being paid for. When asked as
to the percentage of u. S. No. rs
from his crop last year, Mr.. Rags
dale stated that he had checked
this and that little better than
rs per cent of the crop would have
gone in this grade.

MIDDLE AGE ADOPTS
NEW FARM IDEAS TOO

It may be true that "you cant
teach an old dog new tricks" but
age. apparently, is no barrier to
farm men and women In making
changes from the old ways to the
new in farming and home making.
New and better methods of value
To agriculture are constantly be-
ng introduced by the United States
Department of Agriculture and
the state agricultural colleges thru
cooperative extension work. Many
extension workers are of the opin-
ion that the young farmers are
more likely to adopt the new prac-
tees than are the mlddle-aged or
elderly farmers. This opinion, how
ever, is not borne out by study
of the results of a study involving
1886 farmers in four states re-
Gently completed by M. v. Wilson,
who is in charge of the extension
studies for the office of Coopera-
tive Extension Work, United
States Department of Agriculture.
"Fully as high a proportion of
farmers 45 to go years of age
adopts the new practices recon-
mended by the extension workers
as do the younger farmers" says
Mr.. Wilson. Dividing the farmers
included in the study into eight
groups each with an age differ
ence of five years, it was found
that rs per cent of the farmers in
the youngest group go years and
less) changed practices as result
of extension information as COM
pared to n per cent in the groups
81 to 35 and SO to 40 years. New
