The rice said officials was shinned

and through to Spain where the Ger-

This is whv the food embargo has
been placed on Mexico.

The disposition seems to be to have
Mexico fed but not receiving more
than she needs" said Mr. Fryer. "In-
asmuch as we are not at war with
Mexico the government will not de-
prive It of needed foods."
Mr. Fryer visited the food adminis-
tration officials with a view to learn-
ing more of the workings of the board
so as to be able to assist m any way
in El Paso countv. He found the Hoov
er forces encamped in an old hotel

En route to the capital. Mr. Fryer
rode a part of the way with the food
commissioners of the Missouri Agri-

he was from Texas they declared
Texas should make an immediate de-

was an outraer that tick cattle should

Mr Fryer also visited New York
where he found the same spirit of

isted before the war. The same care-
ful regard for ultra fashions prevails
and in those quarters at least the
war is not causing much stir he said.
