Mexico Colonization
Mexicans residing in the United States who are
thinking of returning to their homeland and settling
on one of the colonization projects now being offered
agriculturists may not be making such a wise move
move after all. La Prensa, Spanish language newspaper
printed at San Antoio warns through a special article
written by M. R. Vidal. Jr.
The article is displayed with a two column head.
Indicating the editors consider the matter of consider
able importance.
The writer suggests that unless careful investigation
la made before accepting a colonization offer the move
may only lead “to the brink of misery an infinite
number of Mexican families, who. thinking to find
betterment Inin our republic, will be only a tragic car
avan of compatriots who will lament all the rest of
their lives.”
Senior Vidal writes:
“So then every Mexican who desires to return to his
country to give himself to the cultivation of the land,
to raising cattle, or to rural industry, must know
among oiher considerations, the following:
“If he is exempt from having to profess some par
ticular political faith, which may be more damaging
than boll weevil in cotton or the Mediterranean fly
Itself.
“If his implements now in use can be used on the
lands where he intends to establish.
“If the cost of production of the various crops will
leave any good margin of profit.
“If the national < Mexican ) market is capable of
absorbing the crops with profit to the producer.
“If the local markets of the region have sufficient |
demand to consume crops that are not exportable to j
other consuming centers. There are numerous crops'
that can be sold only In places near where they are
produced.
“If the National Railways are conceding special
freight rates to transport cereals, fruits, vegetables, I
cattle, eggs. etc.
“Concerning irrigated land—it must be considered
how waters are distributed, the cost of such. etc.
“And as to facilities for credit—whether the organ
ization of co-operative societies is effective.
“Taxes are another important consideration that
must be taken to account. The excise now laid upon
agriculture is exhobitant, considering our means.
“Conditions under which lands are offered—form
of payments, and whether there is any abatement in
case of crop failure.
“Further, the colonist should consider that thej
United States whose markets consume the greater
part of Mexican exports, are trying to protect United
States agriculture by increasing the tariff on vegeta
bles. rattle, and other products. And if this country
(the U. S.) should soon enforce such a law. Mexican
agriculture will suffer enormous damage. The con- j
sequences are clear.
“Regarding agricultural production for other In
dustries. the eolonist needs to be informed if he will
be able to get cheap packages for transportation, or
if he will have to Import them from the United States.
This is of great importance, because fruits well pre
sented and kept get the better prices in the consum
ing centers.”
He continues enumerating the things that should
be investigated, including fuel supply, educational fa- j
cUlties. churches and many other things.
If the Mexican agriculturist living in the United
States will give these suggestions careful con
sideration there likely will be a considerable slacken
ing in the number of farmers who are leaving the
United States far Mexico.

Jr Beatrice burton, Aufor ‘//'•money i.ovc?^Sv?aduNa"otr I
\ COPVRlfeHT <9»», CEHTPAL PPKSS AStU IWC, CtCVClAXP, OHIO. _/
READ THIS FIRST: j
Charlotte Chatterton, nicknamed j
Chatty, is a bcm gossip. Her moth - j
er, a widowed dressmaker, has one j
wealthy customer, Mrs. Van Nuyv
and tnrough her Chatty gets a posi
tion as switchboard operator in the
Van Nuys bond house. There she
meets and falls in love with Dav.d
Jordan, handsome young bond
salesman.
Chatty's busy tongue creates
havoc in the office. Agnes Herford,
Mr. Van Nuys' secretary, leaves on
account of Chatty's gossip. David
Jordan knows that Chatty is re
sponsible, and drops her. Chatty
begins to go with a new salesman.
Bryant Dunning, who says he is
married but has left his wife. Chat
ty’s friends are Billie Langer.au. a
file clerk, and Winnie Talcott, Mr.
Van's new secretary. After some
lively parties Chatty makes up her
mind to quit going with Bryant.
The next day David Jordan
brings a girl to the office, and
Chatty, in a rage of jealousy, makes
another date with Bryant. But she
does not love Bryant, and determ
ines not to have any more dates
with him. Alter an argument witn
her mother about Bryant, Chatty
goes across the hall to see Billie.
Despite all her good intentions.
Chatty still goes around with
Bryant and his crowd. She asks
Bryant to teach her to drive his
car.
Chatty and Bryant go to the
Lollypop, a roadhouse, where Chat
ty is sure she sees Winnie Talcott
with Mr. Van Nuys. The next day
Chatty tells the girls. Chatty has
been mistaken about Winnie, and
when she refuses to apologize Win
nie tells Mr. Van Nuys. Chatty is
told she will be fired if there is
any more gossiping in the office.
(Now Go On With the Story)
CHAPTER XXXVI
Chatty was very subdued all day
long. She did not want to lose
her position. She did not want »o
lose the friendship of the girls. It
hurt her, somehow, that Wirnne
had turned on her so.
She knew Winnie would have
gone to the roadhouse with Mr.
Van in a minute if he had asked
her.
“Perhaps that was why she was
so mad!’ thought Chatty. "Be
cause he took someone else!"
His daughter and a friend of his
daughter! Did Mr. Van think he
had put that over? There was a
cure for that, if he did!
She had written one anonymous
letter, "doing her duty,” and she
could write another.
But something inside of Chatty
whispered caution. It is one thing
to send an anonymous letter when
no one accuses you of being a trou
ble maker. With this fracas just
over, if Mr. Van knew an anony
mous letter came to his wife, he'd
probably fire her out of hand,
without waiting to make sure she
wrote it.
He wasn't going to fire her! That
was just a threat! She knew too
much. •
It was bravado, and in her heart
Chatty knew it was bluff. She
was thoroughly frightened. But
she comforted herself with the
thought that it was all a mistake.
That she had really talked too
much, or that she had jumped at
an unjustified conclusion, that she
had no right to repeat what she
had seen, even If it had been true,
never entered her pretty head.
Billie came to her switchboard
at lunch time. "Come eat with me.
Chatty dear!” she begged. “I'm
lonesome."
That was just like Billie. To
be nice to people when they needed
it. A flood of gratitude to her
real friend came over Chatty.
“Only I hope she won’t want to
talk and ask questions,’’ she
thought.
Bui Billie did want to ask ques
tions. Hardly were they seated at
the table in the little cafeteria
which they frequented than she
began.
"Was it really Mr. Van you saw
last night, Chat?”
"Of course it was! And he tried
to put it over that he was with
his daughter and a friend of hers!”
answered Chatty.
"Well, it wasn't really Winnie,
was it?’* persisted Billie.
"No-o-o-o, I suppose it wasn’t!”
confessed Chatty.
"Then why don’t you apologize to
her?” suggested Billie. "If you are
wrong, why not say so?”
"I will not!" cried Chatty. "Nasty,
stuck-up thing—"
Billie laughed. "Oh. Chatty!
When I think of hew you've chum
med with her—and now calling her
names! Don't you know, child,
that to apologize is just to say you
are wiser now than you were be-1
fore? And no one need be
ashamed to have become wiser!”
Chatty thought that over all aft-'
ernoon. She had never had the i
thought put before her like that.1
Billie was really very clever to put J
It that way. Chatty had no idea |
that it was a famous saying of an i
eminent philosopher called Emer- j
son .
The more she thought of it. the
more she liked it. She didn't know
she was just seeking an excuse to
right herself with Winnie. Way j
back in her mind was the thought ,
of all the fun she had had with ■
the "Famous Four.” If Winnie j
"stayed mad” there would be no
more parties in her apartment, no j
more roadhouse expeditions, except j
just with Bryant; no more chance
to show Dave Jordan how little she |
cared—
How much of the office fuss had!
David heard? How much had Win- '
nie told him? If she hadn't toid :
him yet, maybe she wouldn’t if
Chatty apologized—that is. said she
was a wiser girl now that she was
and, of course, no one must be;
ashamed of wisdom—
At closing time Chatty watched!
Winnie, and when she went to the j
dressing room, followed.
"I say, Winnie!” she began. "I
was wrong. I know better now. I
am wiser than I was this morning.
It was all a mistake. Please don't
be sore—”
Winnie turned dark, smouldering {
eyes to her.
"I got a right to be sore!” she j
stated, but without passion. “You
talk too darn much!”
•I—I'm sorry!” Chatty rccatcd;
herself. "I truly thought it was
you. Winnie—really I did.”
"That only takes you out of the
liar's class!” flamed Winnie. "It
still leaves you a gossip and a trou
ble maker—”
"But I'm not! I won't again. Ah.
Winnie, have a heart and be a
sport. Want me to get on my
knees?”
Like most red-headed people.
Winnie had a hot temper and a
quick one, which cooled as fast as
It heated.
"Not in those stockings—they're
mine!” she laughed. “Remember,
you borrowed them when I spilled
cocktail all over yours? All right,
old thing. I'll call it a day. But
watch that three-foot tongue of
yours! Some day you'll talk your
self into real trouble!"
"You'll forive and forget?” Chat
ty put out both hands. "Honestly,
Winnie. I'm sorry—”
"Oh, can the sorrow and come
over to the house tonight and fling
a foot to the radio! Ask Bryant
before he gets away—”
And Chatty left with her heart
as high as it had been low when
Mr. Van Nuys threatened to fire
her.
• • •
Somehow, straightening the fuss
up with Winnie seemed to make
everything all right again! Chatty
shed trouble of her own making
as a roof sheds rain. Alter all, she
hadn’t really done anything! The
1 only one who had really sinned
was Mr. Van. He went to the road
house—and not with his wile. His
daughter! The cat's off-hind whis
ker. his daughter! Now. who do
you suppose It really was?
Chatty wished very much she
knew who the girl in the red dress
was. where she worked, what she
did—but it didn't matter. No one
would complain about her talking
again! And she'd find some way
to square herself with old Van
Nuys, see if she didn’t.
That the way to square herself
consisted in doing her work and not
makmg trouble didn't occur to
her.
For a few days Chatty w’as very,
very good around the office. She
even refrain from listening in on
phone calls.
She felt very virtuous indeed.
Perhaps Dave Jordan would no
tice how good she was, how she had
changed . Perhaps he would get
tired of the “must have ten thou
sand a year’’ girl. Perhaps—
At the very lowest part of the
bottom of Chatty's heart was an
ache that would not still. Bryant,
Winnie, the “Famous Four.” hip
gin, roadhouses, learning to drive a
car, even talk and scandal—all
right in their way, but not Dave,
Chatty sighed. What was Dave
doing? Who did he go with? Could
she ever, ever get back in his good
opinion again? She knew herself
safe from his telling about the
diary, hut she wanted him to for
get it—
Buz-z-z-! The telephone droo
indicated David Jordan's line. And
the number he asked for was that
of the girl Chatty hated because—
well, because Dave liked her.
Chatty made the connection, then
opened the line, craftily. She'd be
very careful—he wouldn't know,
this time—
To herself Chatty admitted that
the unknown girl had a sweet, re
fined voice. So had he—but what
was that she heard? She pressed
her ear phones tighter to her head,
listening avidly. They spoke very
low. Chatty’s ears burned, and her
face flamed—for David spoke of
her!”
“Well, of all the goo and mush!"
cried Chatty to herself.
At noon she collected a little
knot of girls around her. Her back
was to the door as she spoke to
Billie, Winnie, Lola and one or two
others.
“Listen to this!” she cried. "Over
the phone this morning, that gill
David Jordan likes so! He had
sent her some candy, evidently. 8h»:
said it was too soft, and made her
mouth sticky. What do you sup
pose he said?”
“Oh, spill it?” demanded Lola.
Mush?"
“He said: ‘Love to kiss 'oo 'ittle
sticky, kissie mouf,” laughed Chat
ty. tut in her heart was no laugn
ter. And then her face flamed
and paled, as a quiet but sting
lngly angry voice came to her
shoulder.
“I see you cannot learn your les
son! The eavesdropper never hears
any good of herself! Had you told
all. you would have said that you
heard me advising my friend not
to say anything she didn't wish re
peated, as our phones were, un
fortunately, in charge of a danger
ous busybdy who, having no bus
iness of her own. spends her time
in making trouble, carrying gossip
and stealing words not meant for
her ears. You can take this state
ment. and my utter contempt, aAd
do what you like with them!”
David Jordan, his face white with
repressed emotion, looked at her
with blazing eyes before which her
own fell. His glance passed con
temptuously over the girls who lis
tened to her idle chatter, and rested
on Billie. Then he shrugged, turn
ed, and left the room.

Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. O.
Former Commissioner of Health
■.... I
Of late I have thought a good
deal about the way people neglect
the feet. Really It is scandalous
how little honest and intelligent
attention is given these useful
members.
Whether you walk down Broad
way, Main Street or a country road,
you will see limping, mincing foot
“cripples.” Corns, bunions, in
growing toe nails, callouses, scrap
ed heels—from one or more of these
causes the foot is sore and incap
able of normal use.
"There are two reasons for all
these ailments. They can be traced
to neglect of the feet and to the
wrong sort of thoes.
! "You wouldn’t think of going
to bed or getting up without thor
oughly washing the face and hands.
Why should the feet be overlook
ed? They travel in dust and dirt,
in wind and water—a single day
will soil them lar more than
the hands. Why are they not bath
ed in water with soap?
They should be. Each day should
see them thoroughly cleansed. To
soak them in salt and water will
relieve many r ache and pain.
Regular trimming of the nails,
treatment of the corns and removal
of the callouses, will go far toward
the promotion of happiness If
you do not .'el competent to give
your feet this care consult e podia
trist or trained chirpoodist. A dol
lar or two paid him will do you
more good than the broiled lobster
or beefsteak the money would buy.
But even though you wash, dry
and powder your feet, regularly,
they will continue to bother you if
they are not well shod. It pays
to purchase good shoes. Don’t be
coaxed into taking any others.
We have taught the public to read
the labels on food packages. It is
time now to teach the public that
there is much to learn about shoes.
Talk with your dealer and find out
what is a good shoe and what isn’t.
Read the magazines and news
papers. Study the advertisements.
You can learn much In this way
about everything you intend to pur
chase.
When you are attracted by the
statements made about this shoe or
stocking, go to the store where it is
sold. See how the article looks.
Try on the shoes, both shoes, and
see how they feel and look. Make
sure of fit and quality.
It pays to care for the feet. You
have but two, and will never have
any more.
