“Politicians get the blame for high taxes. Some folks complain about not having the liberty to put their foot on the rail anymore.

MEXICO’S POTENTIAL WEALTH

Country’s Resources, Known to Be : Great, Are to Be Subject of . Thorough Investigation, .

In the state of Coahuila, Mexico, a wild plant is found growing, the.leaves of which have long been used in boilers of engines to prevent the foaming of the water. Some years ago the manufacture of a boiler-compound of these leaves was carried on successfully, but the turbulent times caused the industry to be abandoned. It ha’% been proposed that Mexico, instead of shipping its hidgs to the United States to be tanned and manufactured into leather, shall utilize the hides of its cattle and other animals at home. At present the leather industry is ‘mostly carried on by crude processes of tanning and manufacturing, notwithstanding the fact that there exists in the country an inexhaustible supply of wild vegetation from which tannic acid for the manufacture of leather may be obtained at low cost. : It Is to obtain some definite idea of the resources of Mexico in the matter of wild plants and shrubs and the products-of forest trees, that the governmént now has under consideration : plans for a careful and thorough' survey of these native products of the goil. In connection with this investigation a laboratory will be installed where chemical analysis of specimens of plant life may be made with the view of discovering whether or not they may be -made of commercial value, :

CITY OF HOMER AND CROESUS Unfortunate Smyrna Credited With ~ Being the Birthplace of Two: ~ Great Men of History. : Smyrna, recently captured by the Turks, is both old and famous. It is the purported birthplace of Croesus and claims to be the birthplace of Homer. It was a city long before the days of Alexander the Great, who rebuilt it where it now stands, as he saw its strategic position as an extreme western port for eastern markets. In 23 A, D. Rome selected Smyrna from among many rivals for site of the ‘great temple to be dedicated to the emperor. J . This ancient city figures prominently in connection with early church history, observes the Detroit News. It is but 50 miles from Ephesus, where the ruins of that city with its famous temple are still to be seen. Smyrna itself is supposed to have been for some time the home of the apostle St. John, whose disciple, Polycarp, afterward head of the Smyrna church, wag burned at the stake about 155 A. D. His tomb is still the outstanding sight of the city and is on the crest of the hill near the place of his martyrdom. Almost within sight of Polycarp’s tomb, to the south,: lies the isle of Patmos, to which St. John was banished, and where the Book of Revelation is supposed to have been written, b '

Swedish Peasants Adopt Motors. All but one participant in a recent farmers’ festival at Kalmar, Sweden, attended the event in motor cars. “In that particular section of Sweden,” says a consular report to the United States Department of Commerce, “ox carts not long ago were the only means of communication. Peasants and small village functionaries,. who formerly looked upon the auto with marked disfavor, have changed their attitude and view it as a sign of their country’s prosperity, and are now doing their part in keeping the roads in some kind of order.” Three thousand two hundred and thirty passenger cars and 798 motor trucks were brought to Sweden from foreign countries during the first six months of 1922, as compared with 2,684 cars and 548 trucks for the corresponding six monthg of 1921,

-Summoned From the Vasty Deep. . Ghosts have ‘made an appearance in the “agony column” of a newspaper. One morning an advertiser announced that he would be grateful for information of any old house reasonably close to Capetown. where a genuine specter, complete with clanking chains; or head in arm, may be clearly seen by the naked eye. Later came another notice summoning “all specters bf standing” to a meeting “to protest against the manner:in which they are being commercially exploited.” This from the “King of Specterland.” His majesty stated that due notice will be given of “time and place,”. but the meeting has not yet been reported.— Natal Advertiser. B

; Harvester for Sugar Beets. Harvesting sugar beets has been facilitated by the invention of an Illinois man, and consists of a machine that tops, digs and boxes the product, according to the October Popular Mechanics Magazine. In operation, two shoes slide along the surface of the ground and carry a cutfter which cuts the beet top at tHe required heights, throwing the severed portion to one #ide. Following the topper, comes a digger, or uprooter, which removes the beet from the ground and cerries it to the rear, where it is deposited in a box or basket. ; ik

4 _ Real Carefulness. : A St. Louis girl who went to Meramec highlands for a swim was seen to stand on the end of the diving board and assume the correct position for a dive when she noticed that she had forgotten to remove her wrist watch. She -stepped back, took off the timepiéce, placed it in the pocket of her bathing suit -and plunged into the water. . :
