Write of Delightful
Trip Into Mexico

Finding Mexico delightful coun-
try, with it's quaint peasantry, is
the experience of Mr.. and Mrs,
Gordon Clark, of Morris, who wrote
of their Mexican travels to Mr..
Clark's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
E. Clark, of this city. They wrote
they expected to begin their return
trip last week, are expected soon
to arrive in Morris.
Writing from Mexico City, Mrs.
Clark said, Its a large city of
100000 population but is quaint"
Hiring a Mexican guide to drive
them to Mexico City from Monter-
rey 600 miles,, they found the city
at an altitude of 1850 feet, has per-
feet roads. I'VE got six pesos for
one of our dollars, so we find
things very cheap and we feel
rich"
They find the people live still
in small huts with no floors and
are handwork artisans. Crossing
the Tropic of Cancer, they viewed
semi-tropical country with groves
of orange trees, banana trees, wild
orchids, parrots and wild roses, pin
eapple fields and lemon trees. But
they witnessed too one of the des-
ert's blizzards when air is hot and
dust is thick in the flying wind.
"The Mexicans surely love lots
of pepper in their foods" she con-
tinued, land as they have goats
the butter and milk taste funny.
They also make coffee like syrup

$4O,OOO,OOO INCREASE
IN WAGES IN STATE

Calling attention to the improve
ment in conditions in Minnesota
during 1889, Governor Harold E.
Stassen with a note of optimism
points out that the wages and sal
aries paid out by Minnesota indus
tries in 1889 were $4,000. 900 higher
than in 1888, with 10000 more per-
sons employed.
The state now has opportunity to
get fairly definite picture of en-
ployment. The contributions re-
quired of industries covered by the
unemployment compensation act
show what payrolls are in these
industries. Wages in these indus
tries for 1889 were So, 2,585, ,223 high
er than for 1888, making an in
crease Of per cent, and careful
estimates of payrolls in other in
dustries made by accountants in
the unemployment compensation
division indicate that the increase
in these groups would add another
$8, ,0O0, 900 to the total, making q
SAC, 100000 boost in wages alto
gether.

ing lambs sold over a $7.50-8.50
spread. and western feeders reach
ed $8.85.
Slaughter steers advanced 25c or
more this week, for the best gains
registered in some time. Coming
during this period when supplies
were slightly larger than last week,
the price upturn was a surprise
to most trade members and ap-
parently arose from considerable
improvement in demand. She stock
and bulls were also stronger to Csc
higher and replacement steers gain
ed around 25c with trade more act
i've. Coed granted steers and year.

few sales up to $975 and heavier
steers getting relatively the best
action Of the winter season to date.
Good fed yearling heifers made
$S.25-900, most beef cows $5.25-6.00
a few up to $3.50. Gamers and cut
ters turned mainly at $4.00-5.00.
Medium and good sausage bulls
cashed at $5.75- $50, fat bulls as
high as $6.75. Medium to good stock
steers sold freely at $70O-80O, odd
lots at $8.25. and very common
stockers under $500. Vealers were
mostly unchanged. Good and choice
vealers brought $85O-10.O0 strict
ly choice $10.5O.
Bearishness pervaded the mar
ket. for hogs, especially on light
lights and heavy butchers, prices
for underweights declining about
25c from the close Of last week,
while butcher hogs scaling above
240 lbs. were generally 10-15c off.
Light and medium weight hogs sold
steady to 10c lower. Tuesdays tcp
was $3.50, the price paid by shipp-
ers for strictly good and choice
17O-190 lbs. Packer top was $5.25
on similar weights. Heavy butchers
sold down as low as $4.20 with
bulk sales 1SO-24O lbs. at $4.85-5.25
and 24O-270 lbs at $4.5O-4.85. Sows

Spring wheat growers who wish
to take advantage of the crop
insurance program have until Feb
ruary 20 to do so. It is not pos
sible for growers of winter wheat
who have not yet taken out insur-
ance to come in on the program
this year. The crop insurance pro-
gram offered for the first time last
year made quite a dent in Stearns
county, according to the county
agents office st. Cloud. More than
$50 policies were in force in 1888
and already this number has been
exceeded for 1910. Dry, cold wealth
er at planting time caused wheat
yields to be rather low in many
parts of the county, and in the
past year losses in the amount OF
$6,759.81 were paid on 100 claims
Crop insurance applications can
be made out at the county office
in st. Cloud as well as at the var
ious sign-up meetings which are
scheduled from February 10 to the
end Of the month. At the same
time the wheat form 403-W should
be signed for all folks who want to
grow wheat. Likewise when a trip
is made to the county agents of.
