Mexico of To -Day
Mexico is a 'fe:d,eral ale ublic of
:North' America; extend'in'g from
the United States of America, south
to ,Guatemala and British Hondur-
as, and lying' between the Pacific
Oeelan on the west and the Gulf
'of Mexico and Caribbean Sea on
the east.

The climate is tropical and sub-
tropical. Pelrlpetual 'snow do the
?district( of :isolated ,peaks :terves
to moderate !the climate. Long
draughts are (common in, many
parts and on, ,the barren 'surfaces
of the plateau the rain drain away
rapidly, leaving but slight benlefi-
cial results.
The types of animals and vege-
table life. found in Mexico belong,.
in a gen'er'al sensie, to thosie•o'ftthe
Inorthcl,nnt temperate region and
those tof the tropical , regions of
Central and South, America.
Rich Mexican Forests.
In Cer tral and Southern Mexico
the mountain slopes are forlested
up to 13,500 'feet. Oaks are 'every-
where 'common, and the Nicole"
pine, on the' Gulf coast is 'found?asr
Tar down as 6,300 feet. :In South-
ern Mexico the pine is 'found; at'j
seven lower (elevation0, where the 1
tropical growth ,has been destroy -1
,ed by 'cultivation and fire. The
most common :families on the eas-
tieirrs (;lopes are the magnolias,
oaks, palms, bamboos anal chest-
nut. Mahogg'ney, rosewood and
Spanish cedar ,are among the most
conspicuous tree;(, The palm and.
cactus have been, in many places,
turned into climbers by the •strug
.,gbe 'for ,existence.
The cereals, 'fruits and i7e';etab-

;well. Wheat is widely cultivated
and a considerable hart ,of the
population d'e:ponds upon it for
their bread Indian corn, which is
bellieved"to have. had its .origin in
Mexico, also provides food for a
large part of the population. Ba-
nanas, pineapples, ,grapes; oranges,
'9 monis, cocoanets, olivesand mel

stweet potatoes, onions and toma-
toes are some of thio most import-
ant vegetables.

The Population of Mexico.
According to the ceetus of 1900
the population of Mexico number
ed 13,607,259 of 'which less than one -
'fifth (19 per •cent,) were classed as
whi'tlete e38' per cent; as Indians,
and 43 pen cent, as mixed bloods.
There was 57,507 foreign residents,
including a few Chinese and Fil-
ipinos. Since then the Japanese
have acquired an industrial loot-
ing in: ,M•elxico. For many years
the Indiana ireanained in subjec-
tion an(d) ftook no part in ttherpo-
litical activities of their native
country, but :of late they have
taken more interest in public af-
(Lairs. The death rate of childreea
among the Indians is. estimated at
an average of not less than 50 per
cent. •
The white race is of Spanish de -
(*int and, has the characteristics
common to other Spanish-Ameri-
can circles, The larger part of the
population is to be f'oumd.in the
southern 'half of the republic, ow-
ing to the arid) conditions prevail-
ing in the north,. The climate on
the coastal plains is unh'ealth'y al-
though Vete •Cruz has a large
population. No safe estimate can
be made of the half-breed element
in. Mexico. Education, industrial
occupation, :commercial training
and political responsibility are •ap-
parently working al transferma-
Ilion in a, class• that was 'once
known chiefly for indolence and
criminal instincts, and many of the
i]jehdiers oil modern Mexico have
sprung :from this race',, Settled
Govelnnmenit tend habits, remun-
erative employment and oppor-
tunities for the improvemlel* of
their condition, are developing in
therm the virtues of the two par-
ent rases.

Stock raising is found (in every state
in the. republic. The Spaniards in-
troduced their own horses, cattliet
sheep and swine. The varying cli-
matic co,nditionu have since pro-
duced cattle characteristic of thlei
country. The stock is herded off
the uplands during the rainy sea-
non and the lower regions during
the remainder of the year.
The pearl fisheries were worked
alter the arrival of the Spaniards
but there are me other 'fisheries of
importance.
Many Rich .Mines.

Gold, silver, copper, iron, mercury

and is used on the railways passing
through the coal region.

sauce flavored with pepper, salt and
onion juice. Let the sauce cook for
ten or fifteen' minutes, otherwise 4t
will taste pasty, then add the scale

While this is cooking, prepa}'e some

There is for sale a little knife, that
costs 13 cents. •It is not really a knife,
but it is a small piece of metal with
a book on one end that hooks under
the orange skin and tears it open and
pulls It from the orange. It is a great
convenience, for it skins the orange

Less Beef Exported..
Canadian exports of beef to Eng-
land are dwindling and are likely to.
do so to a greater extent, according'
to J. E. Ray, trade commissioner, in
his report to the Trade and Com-
merce Department recently. He says
in part:-

Shipbuilding Dropped Back.
There was less shipbuilding in Can-
ada last year than the year before,
and with the exception of the years
1910 and 1911, it was less than us-
ual. The tonnage of 'vessels built
last year and registered was 24,325.
This includes practically no vessels
built for pleasure purposes, the ton-
nage of which. is growing fast, but
these are seldom registered and there
1s no record kept.
The tonnage of the Canadian ves-
t sels feglstered last year was 30,225.
This is about the same as the year
before. The seagoing and inland
water tonnage, out and in, was 57,-
849,783, which is an increase of
about five millions and the coasting
tonnage was 73,644,713, an increase
of nearly seven and a half millions.
Offset ting
repetition
The thing for the merchants 'of this com-
munity to do in their own interests is to
advertise faithfully, acid to make their
printed announcements interesting and
helpful to those whose trade and favor are
desired.
The serious competitors of the retailers
of this are community y the big stores of the
big cities—those that send out catalogues'
and have mail-order departments. ,
The poorest way to offset this competi-
tion is tor our local merchants to remain
silent. For them not to "speak up" is to
give the mail order houses a better chance
to get business from this community.
