Mennonites Will
Emigrate to Mexico
' \
El Paso, Texas, Nov. 17.?One oi
the largest migrations of Christian
people of modern history is that ol
about 200,000 Mennonites, 50,000 families,
from Canada to Mexico, which
mill knxin rru_:_ a 1- - -
"'?! wtftlll A/vvvIll L/tTi AIltTir ireiv 1H
expected to last two years.
The Mennonites for the past year
have been looking for a. new home,
claiming unjust treatment in Canada
during the World War. Eight nations
have invited them. Land "sharps,"
"boomers" and others have tried to
influence them.
After a dozen trips to Mexico, during
which representatives conferred
with President Alvero Obregon and
officials of the Mexican immigration
service, the leaders almost decided to
settle in Mexico. Then editorials from
various sources, save Mexican, declared
the Mennonites were "making a
' mistake," that religious freedom
^ ..which they have sought could not be
guaranteed them under the Mexican
constitution. Another trip was made
to Mexico and state and national governments
assured the Mennonites that
they could worship God as they
pleased, that they could hold all the
tenets of their religion and could enter
that country and make their permanent
home.
Canadian Mennonites hold the same
belief as early members of the sect
who settled in the United States?that
of non-resistance. The Mennonites, in
defending their belief, declared that
they suffered less in the early days at
the hands of the Indians than did others
who waged warfare against the
savages.
The Mennonites still refuse to enter
any war.
Another peculiar custom of those
people is the washing of feet, lney
say that the command of Christ to the
woman to wash His feet stands on the
{4 same spiritual level as His acts of
distributing food and drink to the
hungry and thirsty. To the Mennonites
the story related by St. Luke
is comparable to the ones other Chrisment
tians regard, including the
sacrament and communion.
_ Community DroDertv is another
# ?r r
^ belief of some Mennonites, although
it la not general. The members of
the sect cooperate in building roads,
school houses and churches.
The removal of the Men/ion ites to
America came about when William
Penn had been granted land for his
Quaker followers. He was told of
Mennonites who Had fled from Germany
to Holland and his Quakers
came to their aid. The Quakers are
credited with helping them financially
and in colonising parts of Ohio, Indi

few of the sect have settled in Floi

For years there were 14 independ
ent bodies of Mennonites, but year
1 ago the sect was reunited.
The Mennonites will settle in Chi
huahua and* Durango, principally i
the former state. Options have beei
> taken on land in both states and im
provements are being made on on
large tract, the Bustillos hacienda, o
ranch, near Bustillos and Chihuahu;

pesos to hold this tract, the money be

owner, Carlos Zuloaga. The purchas
price is 600,000 pesos.
New Broom Sweeps Clean
Tiflis, Soviet Republic of Georgia
Nov. 17..?(By a Staff Corresponden
of The Associated Press).?The So
viet government here is much mor<
active than that of Moscow. It is i
case of the new broom that sweepi
clean. It has been supposed that
since the destruction of the democrat
ic Georgian RepubUc by the Eleventl
Red Army, last February the govern
ment here was of the kind jocularlj
caller "ersatz" in Germany, that is
a sort of harmles substitute for thi
real thing.
While in Soviet Russia, the Re<
flag and the bayoneted Red soldieri
are going out of style, these two at
tributes of new freedom are much ii
evidence here.
Automobiles whiz along bearing re<
banners, these banners are likewiw
flown from many public buildings an<
passes are strictly examined on traini
by shaggy persons armed with knif<
and pistol, which every true-blu<
Communist has a right to wear.
Strange persons, probably intern
on pocketbooks and forgotten or mis
laid baggage, represent themselves a:
members of the Cheka, (coommitte*
against counter-revolution), when in
terrupted. This is quite a pastimi
with young roughs. On the contrary
in greater Russia, the Cheka is i
gumshoe affair, and when it take:
anything, it does so when nobody ii
looking; It covers its train even
when it makes arrests so thoroughly
that the near relatives of the arrestee
are left in doubt.
Here, when the Cheka makes ai
arrest and later executes, near rela
lives are broadly informed, whet
they bring food to the prison, thai
the person in question no longei
needs food, and they had best discon.
tinue their visits.

l* One of the latest performances of
l" the Soviet here was to start a brand
9 new kind of finance. It set out to
a reform the currency and improve ex^ di
'change and general commercial con- C1
ditions, and took the short cut of arresting
700 of the leading merchants g(
8 of the country. They were told they
would be shot within a week unless
they made a contribution of 25,000,n
000,000 rubles to ? the "sanitation ar
n fund." They were short half this sun, y<
about $200,000 in real money. For ]e
the other half a committee was released
to visit the Near East Relief ^
^ where the sum was asker for in the ~~
form of a loan. As the loan was not
made, the merchants returned to
j prison, and were later released, after
giving promissory notes to pay
the sum. 01
Curious StoTy of Insects
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 19.?Prob^
ably evjery one who has walked ki
through meadows in early summer
has noticed masses of froth on grass *
stems and wondered at them. Various D
fanciful names have been given them f'1
such as "snake*spit" and "frog-spit." p
'* A few possibly have examined the j'
"froth" and found in it an insect. Few M
others than entomologists know just w
what species is responsible for it. ^
f The common notion that these insects cj
' are young grasshoppers is incorrect. II'
? Profesor Philip Garman, assistant '?
entomologist of the Connecticut ^
* Agricultural Experiment station, has yr
s made a study of this insect and is the It
- first to discover and describe the egg
1 stage. M
He found that the curious frothy tl
1 balls are made by immature suck?
ing insects of the family Cercopidae,
I commonly known as "frog-hoppers.'
s They are' closely allied to leaf-hop- b<
? pers but their life story has not been ?
? told until now. ^
The insect is found to do injury to ai
t grass; there is one brood each year; ?
. the eggs are laid late in the summer
j and fall in the sheath of grass stems
s I wo or uiree incites ironi the ground.
The egg stage lists from 281 to 233 ha
i days and they hatch late in May. inj
The spittle glands of the adults are 0t]
j indicated by yellow spots on the abdo- ch
s men. By taking in air and expelling ed
? it under a sticky substance, a froth pe
( is made which soon surrounds the in- ca
sect. Moults take place within the
j froth until the hopper is able to fly. ^jr
The froth protects the insect from ca
. parasitic enemies. \ nr

klahoman Praises Black-Draught,
Having Used It "Can Safely
# Say for 50 Years." |<
Grandfleld, Okla.?One of the best
lown farmers of Tllman County, Mr.
. W. TlBdale, who owns and manages
wagon yard Here, says:
"I have used Thedford's Blackraught?I
believe I can safely say for
fty years.
"I was born and reared in Texas,
reeetone County, sixty-four years ago.
have been married forty-four year^L 1
y father UBed Black-Draught before I
as married, and gave it to us ...'
"For forty-four years of my married j
fe, it has had a place on our medine
shelf, and is the only laxative, or
ver medicine, we use. We use It {
ir torpid liver, sour stomach, head-1
she, Indigestion ... I don't think we
>uld get along without it, knowing
hat it has done for us, and the money
has saved, it is just as good and reable'today
as it was when we began j
b use. My boys use it and they are
itisfied it's the best liver medicine |
ley have ever used."
Thedford's Black-Draught is purely
jgetable, not dlRagrceablo to take .
id acts in a prompt and natural way.
So many thousands of persons have
)en benefited by the se of Thedford's
lack-Draught, you should have no
BSltancy in trying this valuable old
ell-established remedy, for most liver
id stomach disorders. NC-139b.

3424 Languages in

Strange tongues are so rare among us hereabouts
that it is surprising to learn there are nearly thirtylive
hundred languages and dialects used by the human
race.
Give us the straight old "American" language, howi
ever. It is an honest, sturdy, plain-speaking tongue
that reasons directUy from cause to effect. Our own
