But now comes a report telling of the vast na tural resources of this practically un known territory of 18,000 square miles, comprising the eastern part of the pen insula of Yucatan und extending about 300 miles north and south. Data brought ( to United States Consul O. Gaylord Marsh at Progreso by prospectors, chicle gatherers and archeologists show that Quintana Roo lias several ranges of hills .about nine lakes and several short rivers. The western part Is said to contain wide rolling pampas, the In terior Is rich In valuable tropical woods und the coast abounds In fish. The soli Is reported good for all sorts of tropi cal and semi-tropical vegetables and fruits. O f the some 9,000 Inhabitants of the territory, 2,500 live In Santa Crus de Bravo, the capital. Transportation to the interior Is lacking, but the recent arrival of an American caterpillar tractor hus given the more enterprising coast residents visions of a speedy de velopment F or years the settlers on govern ment projects have scanned the horl- son of prosperity with an eager eye for a ray of hope in anticipation of telief of which they are deserving. A good many of the settlers have come on these reclamaton projects with the Idea of m aking homes for themselves and families. Their hopes and ambition ts concentrated In the desire that is natural in every man’s breast of owning a place of his own.

The girl was dressed to Impress a possible employer—thut Is. in her best. She bad been Job-hunting, and a sudden rainstorm left her marooned In an office building on u Fifth ave nue corner. Tuxis of all colors, nil of them comfortably filled, went skidding past, anil for half an hour the girl watched them greedily. Finally an empty cat* came along.

"I’ve gotta take this cab around to the garage.’’ “ I can’t get up,” said the girl. “ You’ll liafta get up,” said the driver sternly, “ I can't stay here all night—that cop Is telling me to move on now.” “Now, man to man,” said the girl, looking at him out of black-fringed Irish eyes, “ do you want me to get t i l l s hnt wet?" lie looked nt the eyes and then at the hat.

W ILLIAM B. BARRATT Dated April 7, 1924. W. R. (JINKS) TAYLOR Pendleton, Oregon Candidate For the Democratic Nom i nation FOR SHERIFF of Umatilla County Prim ary Election May 16, 1924 ALEX MANNING Candidate For Republican Nom ination For Major Bailey is wanted, the notice on the boarding told m e; and Instantly my mind flew back to a land where boardings are heavy with notices of wanted men who are never found. Every town In the East has a lengthy list of men who are wanted for crimes. The natives affirm that no true crim inal is ever brought to book, but that the police, to Justify themselves, from time to time, make an innocent man pay the penalty of another’s sin. The fact is, of course, that the or dinary methods of detection as we know them In the West are useless in the East. Few there can read notices, even though they be printed in the vernaculars of the populace, and so a crier parades the streets with a little drum (followed by a rabble of ur chins) to tell them of the latest man who is wanted by the police. The people come to their doors, and when the crier 1ms passed nnd the taps of hlg drum lmve grown faint they whisper among themselves. The chances are that they all know where the wanted man Is hiding, but they are all resol v » m I never to give him up. Not all rewards in the world will make them tell tlie crier what they know; for the East is a land where vendettas still prevail and every na tive is aware that a man possesses power to strike even after be Is dead. So, after the crier has passed, the criminal leaves Ids hiding place and moves on to the next township, toward the frontier where also he is sure of shelter and security. Across the line he will be one of a hundred brigand bands that rove among the bills from Kashmir to Chinese Turkestan. There every crim inal is beyond the arm of the law.— R. J .

Albee of Netv York, an authority on reconstruction:.! surg ery, in telling about machine driven , surgical Instruments, said: “ One of the best points about auto- , matic machine-driven surgical tools Is ( that they reduce the shock of opera- ! tlon, because of the speed. This mnv I be exemplified by the fact that a man when shot with a steel-jacketed, sw ift-1 ly moving bullet, often does not realize he Is shot until the blood begins to { flow. But when a man is shot with , a slowly moving, soft-nosed bullet, lie I is knocked down, so violent Is the shock. “ The same thing applies In opera tions when mallet and chisel are used. There the shof'k Is vastly greater than when the cutting instruments work sw iftly and surely, cutting the bones to a true slxe. Holes are cut to the right slxe and dowels of living bone are made to fit exactly." Primary Election May 16, 1924 The street was crowded with traffic; the sidewalks tilled with children re turning from school; and a contracting company was busy digging foundations for a new apartment house, says the New Ycrk Sun and Globe. Suddenly the drills ceased their noisy work. La- borers ar. I diggers dispersed at a shout ed command. Six with red flags shooed away pedestrians, stopped Impatient traffic with high pitched commands and then took up posts of warning. A blast was about to be set off. Silence settled over the place and In terest and excitement ran high. It was going to be a big blast. The operator— he whose duty Is was to fire the charge — approached the detonator and waited the signal of the foreman. It came— a sharp command In Italian. The ope rator depressed the detonator. Every ooe waited, s o a r with Angers to their ears. But nothing happened. Again he tried. There waa no expioalon. A Ut ter among the crowd of watchers was followed by shouts of laughter as ex- amination of the wires lending from the detonator to the charge of dyna- mite showed they bad not been nt- “ An economical administration consistent with Impartial. vigorous tn c M enf'»sccm“ nt of law." A recent letter from the Del Monte Properties Company, Del Monte, Calif., makes this point: “ W e operate a fleet of twelve W inton cars in the guest passenger service in addition to quite a fleet of commercial type vehicles, ranging all the w ay from Fords to five-ton Packard trucks, all of which are lubricated with the Zerolene oils and greases supplied by your company. “ T h e uniformly prompt and courteous treatment w hich w e have received in connection w ith this service is a credit to your organization and it is put ting it mildly indeed to state that our experience both with your prod ucts and service has been highly satisfactory.” ZEROLENE F jor FORDS Big users don’t pay tribute to the superstition that there is some thing mysteriously “better” about “eastern” oils just because they cost more — why should you?
