By the end of that time I hope to be home- on vacation, and I shall call on you in person to arrange about the ex tension of my subscription to your worthy paper. "It has been about two years since I have read The Star, and I feel that I am ignorant of the happenings in North Carolina, especially . in state politics. Once in a while I get clip pings from The Star in letters from friends and I find that I read the ad vertisements,, word for word, as well as the news, and I have Come; to the conclusion that since The Star reached men m France and Germany It could surely reach me in Mexico as there is not much difference in the .mail terv- ice of either country. However, the mail service in Mexico is much im proved over what it was a year ago. and this is true of all the departments of the government I believe 'that President Obregon is getting things under control in Mexico, anf if given time will have one of the most stab ilezed governments in all Latin Amer ica."

"All right," answered Mr. Dover, "But the market has gone up and we are paying 21 cents now." The farmer responded; "I didn't know it had gone up. Since it has, I believe I 'will take my bale back home and hold it awhile longer.
