SURPRISE FAREWELL Mr. and Mrs. Martin Stoffel of Spring Grove were surprised Wednesday evening by a group of their 15c' neighbors and friends who had come to wish them a fond farewell. Those 7c corn and the natives cultivate little patches on the mounainsides and raise their small crops. The livestock are allowed to run wild and are often found roaming on the highway. They raise many goats and burros, the latter do most of the hauling. The carts which they pull have only two wheels. There are no tractors, so the Mexicans do all their work by hand. They use wooden plows, hoes, painted sticks and knives to do their farming. The natives live in little bamboo huts with thatched roofs. They do not worry about getting wet because it rains so seldom, and when it does, the moisture quickly evaporates. There are no doors on the openings and they have no fireplaces; they simply build a bonfire in the middle of the room. Naturally, most of the homes are pretty badly scorcheA. The first stopping place in Mexico was Monterey, one of the nation's largest industrial centers. The travelers were amazed to see a street of flat-roofed, one-story homes, each a different color of the rainbow.

In Mexico City On through the mountains again they traveled to Mexico City, the old est city in America. The city is composed of many beautiful old buildings. Outstanding among these is the goldlined Cathedral of Mexico, 500 years old. The folks saw the cardinal administering the St. Blase blessing to the children. They also saw the art museum which has a solid marble interior. They had no trouble^ in making themselves understood, as there are several English speakfftg hotels and restaurants. They found many tourists from the States and a few weeks following their visit, they learned that there were 2,000 more tourists in Mexico City than the hotels could accommodate. After their sojourn in Mexico City from Saturday to Tttesday, our travelers left the -quaint old city and head ed northward 4gam. Many banana trees and orange groves thrive in the vallevs surrounding the city. They purchased navel oranges for ten cents a dozen. Homeward Ho! Back to Laredo, Texas, their baggage was again searched for fruit or food of any kind. Driving back they passed through San Antonio, Austin »nd Dallas, Texas; the country in that district more closely resembled our own Illinois farming region that any other they had seen on the trip.
