A SUNDAY SCHOOL PIIOULK3I. Canutillo, Tex., Dec. 4. Editor El Paso Herala: AVH1 some one tell us how to get parents and children to come to Sun day school. We are trying so hard to have a Sunday school, but we cannot get the older people out. Those who have children do not come or send their little folks. We have such a nice val ley and good people no better can be fcund, only they will not come to church or Sunday school. I do wish next Sunday we could have the -largest crowd we have haa yet. To a "ditch meeting" they come, or any other meeting. I do not blame them for that, but come to church, too! We like to go to other places, also to church. Now for the good of ourselves, as well as the upper valley, come out. Sunday school will adjourn next Sun day for good if there are not enough to come to make it interesting. Mission. PIIEST. WILSON'S MEXICO POLICY. Plainview, Tex., Dec 4. Editor El Paso Herald: Referring, to your editorial "An Army Man's Mexico Policy." in your paper of Monday last. I am of the opinion that such statements made by. those not as close in touch with the. Mexico situ ation as president Wilson, are liable to cause regrets in me iuiure. j o comment euiionaiiy on a suujwi of this character in as bold language as is used in this article, one should be in the same position relative to ex isting facts as is our president. For tunately such matters are not left to servants of the United States like the j officer who lays claim to this article, i To say the least he is assuming a great deal of liberty in taking issue with our president on a subject that allows him small latitude to obtain the facts. We will let time show the public who is in error regarding this delicate sub ject, and in the meantime I think it good policy to leave the matter in the hands of those who are on the inside and endeavor to hold up their hands. until some grave error has been com- muted. ; You have a great daily paper and I enjoy its columns from a news stand point, but I cannot endorse such, let ters receiving favorable editorial space, and comment. J. F. Garrison. with the raid, financed by English capital, carried out by English of ficers, with regulation arms, etc.. all to provoke a "casus belli" for Eng land's armed hordes to be turned loose upon a peaceable. Christian little na tion, and throttle to death the little baby crawling in the dust. Have Englishmen so soon forgotten that diabolical crime against civiliza tion? To accuse the United States of i contemplating designs upon Mexican territory, after the tolerant policy of the present administration covering many months, during which citizens of I this country were ruthlessly killed, and American property destroyed, it seems beyond comprehension, even for an Englishman to be so unjust, and misguided.

There is a very sadly disappointed member of the American colony here, a lady living in the Champs Elysees district, who is furious at the leniency of French Juries towards sinning husbands. The kittle Americaine, who was married in Bos ton 13 years ago, has no higher wish than to marry a titled Frenchman but cannot do so even in this unconven tional city without first getting rid of her present spouse. Since French law requires her to catch him in an act of actual unfaithfulness, witnessed by French officers of the law. she naa been very busy sleuthing lately. The other day she thought she had her husband cornered and teleponed" tne district chief of police to put on his tricolor scarf immediately and hurry to the sinner's flat.

Editor El Paso Herald: The criticism ofour government's Mexican policy as cabled from London, quoting the "Outlook" is, to say the least, rediculous, and would move a wooden indian to smile Listen to the English apostle: "War between the United States and Mexico, if it arises, will be the first war waged solely for private greed the first money grabbers' war." After saying that the United States has been filching territory from its neighbors for 60 years and has reduced weak states to obsequious dependents through the Monroe doctrine 'which means anything it is required to mean.' the Outlook predicts that American dollars will create revolu tions in Trinidad and Jamaica, as it alleges they did in Panama and pre dicts the annexation of the northern Mexican states." Think of it, it would be the first war waged solely for greed, the first money grabbers' war. The irony of it, apart from all other consideration.;' What about England's stealing of the Boer republics, only half a decade ago? 1 What about Dr. Jamieson's invasion at this age of ciwlization, and the armed j lebellion at Johannesburg synchronous Fifth Avenue Trucfe Farm Most Expensive in World tfJef Yrk. Dew. . The most expen sive trjugk farm in the xorld is : catf&fn one of the 'busiest sections of Gotham. The plot, which faces on Fifth avenue, is 25 feet wide and 10S feet deep. It is assessed for taxation at nearly $500,000. This, however, does not indicate its actual value, as real estate experts figure that the plot is worth more than a million dollars, ow ing to the fact that it is so close to the Grand Central station, the subway express station and other traffic con veniences. This "farm" is an dbject lesson to many thousands of Gothamites and other- daHy passers and results show that, Fifth avenue lartd is as productive of clioice vegetables as the nearby large truck farms- on Long Island and in Ne'w7 Jersey. During the last sum mer this "farm" produced corn, peas, beans and lettuce and its owners are envied by many of their neighbors who are not able to secure vegetables for their tables from their own backyards.
