Extract from a Fov of Many Letters of Commendation " "The Mexican Problem' is to my thinking worth its weight in gold of all recent books the best by many degrees." "Since reading Mr. Barron's book, I am conscious of a larger sympathy with the people in Mex ico, and of a conviction that they aro more worthy of saving, of re demption, tl.an I had supposed. One cannot help feeling glad to know that thero is so mucli more of real good in them than 'pre viously supposed." "Tho book conveys to the read er a knowledge of Mexico and the needs of its people in a way not heretofore adopted by any others attempting to give information on the subject ''In fact, the whole book is a compendium of terse, trenchant and sententious wisdom on the Mexican problem," With MP and Illustrations $1.00 net At aM aWekseKers s.

These popu lar fallacies are: "First, that the natural wealth of Mexico has furnished a baso for contending business interests from the United States to promote Mexican quarrels. "Second, that the land question is at the bottom of tho Mexican troubles." ... , , That is tho need of Mexico today opportunity to la bor, opportunity for tho family, opportunity for food, clothing, bet ter shelter, and better social conditions.

Sho Is tho daughter of an old family. Her father, an amiable old man without initiative. Is gatekeeper In a textile mill. Tho diughter is a stenog rapher in tho ofllco of tho manager.
