when, on the other hand. hear the way

Always Fatal to Talk Arms.
The whole trouble in Anglo-American
relations in the last few years has arisen
from the fact that the two peoples, instead
of talking about world problems, have
talked about ornaments. It is almost al

People Dislike Rich Neighbors.
There is no getting away from the fact
that America is going to be the richest
and one of the most powerful countries in
the world. People do not love rich and
powerful neighbors, so do not expect
that people will love America much. She
is in the same position now that Great
Britain was in during the nineteenth CEN
fury, when all the world regarded Great
Britain as the richest and most powerful
country, but the world did not love her.
And so it is with America today. If she
can only keep her head as Britain did
during the last century the world is safe
The common-SenSe thing, therefore, is
for Great Britain and the United States
to think less about ornaments and more
about friendship. They are really agreed
about all the important things in the
world, about liberty, about democracy,
about peace.
If they would think more about these
things and less about the size and number
of guns, they would very soon discover
that, instead of there being reason for
quarreling, there was every reason for CO.
operating in world affairs.

History Made
As F iirst Rice
Cargo Leaves
(Contributed)

History was made in the rice in
dustry on the West Coast of Mex
leo when the German S. S.
"FLOTTBEK", Captain A. Kohn-
ke, commanding sailed from Quay
mas February IA, with the first ful!
cargo of rice exported from Mex
leo.
The value of the cargo is es-
timated at $350,000 and is con-
signed to Europe. The transaction
also set new high record as the
largest individual sale of rice ever
made in Mexico.
The cargo is Of the variety
known as Mexican Edith, long
grain rice ranking as one OF the
three of the worlds finest rices
due to it's peculiar fiber, excellent
milling qualities and tow moisture
content.
The sale Of this cargo marked
the first effort of rice growers IN
the Yaqui River Valley to coopera-
lively distribute this product thru
their own organization, the Yaqui
Distributing Compay of obregon
City. s.~
Which and Company of New
York City, represented by Theo-
dore Willich were the purchasers,
and the Obregon Distributing
Company of Nogales, Arizona,
represented by Byron S. Butcher
was the sales agent for the grow
ers in the vicinity of Obregon City,
Sonora. Mexico.
Mr.. Which and Mr.. Butcher just
returned from Obregon City and
Guaymas where they inspected the
loading of the cargo.
It was anticipated that the S
S. "FLOTTBEK" will arrive at
it's port of destination in about 35
days from time Of sailing.
To Which and Company belongs
the unique reputation of having
shipped the first full cargo of rice
from the United States to Europe,
also of having shipped the first
! full cargo of American rice to the
Argentine, as well as the first
| steamer carrying rice from Lake
Charles, La. when that port was
opened. They now have the dis
tinction of having bought and
shipped the first complete cargo
from Mexico.

of the president of the Southern
Pacific of Mexico railroad. and
widely known in Nogales, who ap-
peared at Tucson at the Temple of

the auspices of the Tucson Satur-
day Morning Musical Club, has the
good fortune to have been a pu-
pill of Stojowsky and to have recei-
we'd his unqualified endorsement az
an artist
Miss Titcomb while only %
years of age has had more COM
plimentary press notices than US
ually come to a young artist. The
following from the Musical Leader
of May "a, 1923 was written after
one of her concert programs.
"a brilliant gathering of musi-
clans and music lovers was present
at the studios of Sigmund Stojo--
wsky, one of New York's fore
most teachers of piano, last Sum
day evening, to hear a piano re-
citai given by Miss Mildred Tit
comb. Miss Titcomb, young girl
from Los Angeles, has been stu
dent Of Stojowky for thh last three
years and in her playing shows
the marks of his careful, musicianly
training. The young artist-stud-
ent's work was characterized by
sincerity of purpose painstaking
attention to detail and fine musi-
ca, feeling. She was particularly
successful in the compositions re-
quiring powerful tone and brilliant
technic and is well on the way to
becoming pianist of exceptional
merit and accomplishment.

well-seasoned professional might
well be proud to play, and includ-

NAVAJO INDIANS
FINCERPRINTED
TO CURB ROWS
Distribution Of Fabulous
Wealth May Bring
Disputes

Washington, Feb. Is. (U. P.)-
Foreseeing days of possible discord
and strife when the fabulous riches
of the Navajo Indians are divided,
the Interior Department has begun
tagging and finger-printing each
tribesman to provide definite proof
of his identity.
The Navajos, a remote and iso-
lated people, have no birth certifi-
Gates. Sheep-raising nomads, they
break into small groups and scatter
widely, it was explained. These
facts made it necessary for the In
dian Commissioner to devise some
scheme of keeping tab on them.
So each Indian Is being finger
printed, after which his names
both American and Indian-are
placed on the tribal rolls. He is
then issued a metal disk such as
American soldiers wore during the
World War.
This enrolment serves also, the
Interior Department said, in taking
an Indian census. For these people.
IN remote parts of Utah, Colorado.
Arizona and New Mexico, are hard
to reach. The Department. believes
the census will. reveal Navajo
population of around $4,000.
! The Indians, realizing the finan-
ciaI value of tribal membership
nave been anxious to be enrolled
by the Government employees and
other Indians who take the census
| From now on each Indian baby
will be finger-printed and assigned
a disk when he is born. The disk
must be worn until death, when it
is returned to the Government.
| The Interior Department is plan
ming to conduct similar censuses
among the other outlying Indian
tribes, it was said.

subsidiary of Camp Bird. For the
last two years this property, which
is in the Pachuca district, State
of Hidalgo, has been steadily cur.
failing work and economizing, but
apparently the end is in sight. In
