The boys at the Fire House were having a hot discussion on government activities. Ray Myers asked: “What do you think about government ownership of railroads, power resources and so on?” Red Mateer answered “I think it's a great thing. When the gov- ernment owns and runs everything it'll have to pay all the taxes it- self.” Little Helen, hesitatingly asked: “Mother, do you remember that old vase you said had been handed down from generation to generat- ion?” Her Mother answered: “Yes, dear; it's very valuable.”.........

Maguey Plant Source of Powerful Alcohelic Sap Siphoning out the sap of the ma- i guey plant is one cf .the first steps in the making of pulque—that potent { drink which puts pep into native fiestas in South America. The ma- guey plant is a form of cactus and when full grown is an upside-down- looking affair with ten-foot leaves massed in artichoke formation near the ground, giving rise to a flower stalk which often grows to a height of 25 feet and bears thousands of flowers. Plants such as this are among the strange sights in Mexico City, writes a correspondent in the New York World-Telegram. When the plant is ready for har- vesting—just before the flowers are born—the tlachiqueros cut cif the newly formed flower stalk and dig out the heart. In the hollow pocket thus formed the sap gathers, which in the normal course of events would rise in the flower stalk and feed the flowers. As this honey water collects in the hollow the tlachiquer- os make the rounds, two or three times a day, and siphon out the fluid. The siphons, or acocotes, as they are called, are in the form of long gourds with a small pipe at each end. One end is placed in the sap pocket, the other in the mouth of the tlachiquero, and the sap drawn by suction into the gourd and from there emptied into the keg. These kegs are ihen taken to the hacienda, and the honey water is placed in large vats to ferment. The resulting pulque has a 6 per cent alcohol content and is very wen, John Booth, Harold Schatz, | powerful. Richard Baymond, Frank Fair, John —— A fees Neff, Abram Geltmacher, Joe Ha- NORTHERN I.
