There are many honest boys. The instincts
of youth are predatory only la

colors -flying. The Industrious lad
who would steal is an exception. No
normal boy accustomed to dealing In
pennies could see an accidental gold
coin In his day's collection without
the Immediate Impulse to place It In
the hands of the owner.
The remarkable phase of the Incident
was that the owner, upon recelvp

' cents. Doubtless the newels felt more
jubilation in possession of this honest
piece of silver than la the larger
piece that could have bean ritalmi

big part of the fear Is unfounded.
He's dangerous, but there's no use ol
being frightened at him. In the flrsl

He gives his warning with a set ol

by which he is most easily dlstin

be a common belief that the snake
added a rattle each year and that you
could tell his age by the number ol
rattles. Now it is known that some
? times he will grow three rattles in a
year and that old snakes sometime*
lose a rattle or two.
' His color varies from yellowish
_ brown to dark brown. The snake li

con else story of ths sisal trust
rhlch may be nssd In any paper with
?r without credit to Farm Implement
lavs.
A complete monopoly of ths sisal
Ibre output of Yucatan. Mexico, has
jeen obtained by the Comlslon Reguadora
del Mercado d" Henequen
committee to regulate the alsal fibre
narket), a body created by Yucatan
aw.
A big advance In the price of binder !
.wine will be one of the results. 1
The Comlelon Reguladora la now |
composed of supportera of Qen. Car*anza,
head of the de facto government
it Mexico. To finance the monopoly
:he Comlaton has enlisted the aid of
Mew Orleans bankers, who In turn
lave prevailed on banks In New York,
Chicago and St. Louis to take parts
if the large loan required, and which
will be secured by warehouse receipts
in the fibre stored In New Orleans
md elsewhere. A company composed
it American bankers and members of
the Comlslon has been formed and will
receive a large commission on all
fibre sales in addition to the Interest
paid the banks on loans.
The Comlslon Reguladora was crested
three years ago to buy surplus
stocks of sisal fibre to prevent them
Crom being dumped on the market
and bearing down the price. The
Comlslon fixed a certain price as the
one required by planters to malts their
crop profitable, but was unable to get
sufficient flaagcUl backing in Mexico
to carry out its plafi. With the power
Carranza behind it the Comlslon
a as driven out the fibre dealers and
ao Yucatan sisal can be purchased
.hrough any agency other thautbj
Comlslon. . . --*oe^A\?tV'?i3!3Sr
Having a complete monopoly the
Comlslon can dictate the price at all
times. The price It is now demanding
Is 2 cents higher than the price it pronounced
profitable to the planters in
the beginning. It is 2 cents higher
than the price wb4ch prevailed a year
ago. It is 1V4 cents higher than the
average price paid for sisal by binder
twine manufacturers last season;
hence, If no farther advance is made,
the price of twine lx^JT? to he Increased
that much over the "price of
1918. And there is no telling how high
the price wllj be raised by the Comls!ofi
before the required amount of
fibre for next season's twine supply
fias been purchased, and In the sue
needing years. -*
In advancing the price the Comlson
has ignored the law of supply and
iemand; for last year, notwithstandng
the consumption of sisal fibre was
he largest In the history of the trade,
here was a large surplus In Yucatan.
Jnder normal conditions of competlion,
such as existed before the Comslon
seized the market, the price
vould have declined from last year's
isure. The price Is therefore arblrary
and unwarranted.
Thus the American farmer Is to be
orced to pay tribute to a fibre trust
lnanced with American capital; for
intil such time as other fibres suitable
or binder twine can be obtained In
ufftclent quantities, the farmer must
lepend on s'.3al for the greater part of
lis twine supply. Conditions make It
mposslble to obtain an adequate supily
of manila fibre at this time. For
very cent added to the price of twine
hrough the operations of the sisal
nonopoly, $2,500,000 will be added to
he binder twine bill of the American
armer.
Is this monopoly amenable to the
ntl-trust laws of the United States? ;
f it were purely a Mexican affair, or
f the financial backing were obtained ;
rom other countries, the United States
rould be powerless to Interfere. But
ince the capital Is contributed by
jnertcan banks from deposits of
merlcan depositors, the combination
hould be amenable to American law.
ustlce to the farmer requires that the
overnment take such steps as may oe
iken lawfully to prevent the flnanctg
of the monopoly with American
toney.
