One good mule trail passes through from the larger city of Pasto, forty miles north, and winds over crag and precipice to the frontier of Ecuador. The other trail, down which foodstuffs are dispatched to the grainless jungles of the coastal lowlands, descends the Andes westward toward the Pacific coast. Sections of both routes have already been promoted to the rank of wagon road with appropriate rejoicing., Railroads approach Tuquerres from the north and from the west,- but they are still far from surmounting the steep mountain barriers.

Rise in Juvenile Crime Is Reported by Britain Londpn. -- Another increase in juvenile crime is reported in the home office bluebook of crime statistics. While the number of child criminals increases each year, there has been a decline since 1932 in the number of adult offenders. The proportion of juvenile offenders per 100,000 population increased from-r 370 in 1933 to 439 in 1934. V "Detection of juvenile offen1s«s^is seldom difficult if perHte'inquiries, are instituted," says the report? "The more attention the police give t o t h e i n v e s t i g a t i o n o f m i n o r crimes, the larger will be the number of child offenders charged with juvenile delinquency.ft Deterioration of parental discipline and leniency to children found guilty in juvenile courts are suggested as possible reasons for the increase. The number of children charged with indictible offenses rose from 12,000 in 1911 to 18,000 in 1930. Beavers Ruin Trees and **" Farmer Can't Do a Thing Great Bend, Kan.--Fred Schlessiger, farmer living 23 miles" northeast of here, faces a real dilemma. A colony of beavers on his farm have gnawed down several trees, one being a valuable cottonwood fifteen inches in diameter at the base Schlessiger prepared to shoot and trap the beavers, but learned it is against the law to do either. Just how to save his trees and not violate state laws is the prpb lem he must work out. Busy Jail Opening Buffalo, Tex.--Buffalo completed its first jail just in time.

Canada is more enthusiastic about the New Deal than is any state in the Union. Canadian farmers and dairymen are growing, prosperous at the expense of the American farmer. The New Deal has destroyed the tariff wall that held back Canadian products. It has driven oui farmer and dairyman out of his own market and, put the Canadian farmer into the American market. "January 1, 1936, the day the president put this Canadian treaty into effect," tije American Federation of Labor reported that 12 million, 646 thousand American farmers and workers .were unemployed. The Republican Party insists that the American farm arid dairy market must be kept first and foremost for our American farmer and dairyman." The Republican caravan paid visits Tuesday to Algonquin, Crystal Lake, McHenry and Woodstock., No speeches were made at McHenry*due to the approaching storm which broke a few minutes after the schedule stop, later leaving for the night meeting at Woodstock.

MILD AND MELLOW COFFEE EIGHT O'CLOCK RICH AND FULL-BODIED RED CIRCLE COFFEE VIGOROUS AND WINEY Observing St. John's Eve In Poland, St. John's eve is marked by the lighting of bonfires and the throwing of wreaths into rivers and streams. For the Occasion girls weave flowers arid herbs into crowns and, placing a light in the center of the leaves, toss them into brooks or rivers. Youthful swains either stand on the bank or boat out into the water and attempt to catqh the wreaths on poles. If a girl's lover succeeds in rescuing her wreath, the Poles believe that the love affair will have a happy ending; if he fails to, an unfortunate one.
