Custom house reports indicate a
crowing bunineas with Mexico. This
tnMlneaa Increase has been noticeable
ia every 'line ot trade and has been
developed on a large basis in the
Mexican Republic while business in
III United States was quiet. Because
of the possibility of Increasing their
bnslnese in foreign countries thr
largest business houses in the United
States have sent their agents into
Mexico to make Investigations with
the result that the American Chamber
oi Commerce ot Mexico City reports
that many American business houses
which formerly did no business in
Mexico are establishing branches in
that city and are preparing to make
an intensive drive for Mexican busi-
ness. The same source reports all
factories and mills operating at full
capacity and with a degree of labor
unrest smaller than in many years.
The cotton industry In particular la
being operated at high pitch. Mexico
'baa about 130 cotton mills, of which
about 85 per cent, calculated by out-
put, ar In or near Mexico City. The
Maple used for manufacturing la the
homegrown product.

Back to Town Crier 1
llow many residents of any small
community have ever considered what
might happen If there were no news-
papers? Just previous to "Sub-
scribe for Your Home Town Paper
Week," which is to be observed the
country over November 7-1'-', is a good
time to recall the plight of Macon,
Mb., not long ago,-When lire put the
Chronicle-Herald out of business for
two weeks.
According to The Publishers' Aux-
iliary, the- old town crier, relic of
many venr* 1'iu'k, was yanked from
his liiiiiuc place, dusted <>(T. and put.
hack on his job, with a jangling bell,
11 megaphone, and a fog-horn voice only
a little worse for long disuse.
It limy have bwii a novelty for two
weeks. Hut think of a community
without printers' ink, compelled t«> gel
Its announcements of auctions, sales,
Court sessions, births, marriages,
deaths, epidemics <>f sickness, dog or
diuances, botud meetings, commence
nnmt>\ ;.a notices, advertisements
>>f help and situations wanted, acci-
dents, and the rest, tlirough a shouteo
word like that of the ordinary train
announcer III a city depot. The town
crier was a romantic ligun; in his day,
but few towns would like to return to
his ministrations now.
When one thinks of the temporary
plight of Macon, and that it might
become the permanent handicap of
many towns, It is well to think of sup-
porting the local paper.

When I wait riding, Koru, who did

rode a pony that he called Polo, cam*
along as a sort of attendant. But bis
attitude was different from that of an

contracted smallpox. In replying I
referred to Maeterlinck's contention
that the dead are never actually^ dead
so long 11s the living remember tlieui.
In simple words my sister told tlmt part
of my letter to Ben, the father of the
dead Jtoy, and the thought seemed to
impress him deeply. In her next letter
my altiter wrote:
"Vesterdny i went with Hen to jmt

THINGS WE DON'T SEE
If you were to pass aloi g th*
street with head high in the sir
you might step on a twenty dol-
lar Dill without seeing it, vhil*
the man with his eyes below th
clouds would pisk it up.
In thst aiaple statement
there is a mighty sermon which
it would drofit us to learn and
to heed
There are none of us so great
but what we can afford to b
humble—none so far seeing feat
what we can profit by looking
around us. Success is founded
upon our ability to observe and
take care c f the little things of
life, for it iB from them the big
ones strow.
The things we don't ee are
our chief obstructions in the
world of affairs, .yet to the man
