FORD AND CREEL.
A shudder swept the United
States when the ignorance of Henry
Ford was revealed to the world,
writes George Creel, in a recent is
sue of Leslie's. Terrible! What
were we coming to when such an
utter fool could make millions and
rise to power! Why, he didn't even
know what Benedict Arnold did!
And he couldn’t recite the Declara
tion of Independence!
On the day when the testimony
was printed, Cree! asked ten men,
college graduates and each of them
a success in his profession, to give
him a detailed account of Benedict
Arnold’s treason, its origin, course,
and finish. And not one of them
but failed entirely or in some im
portant particular.
Henry Ford is no worse, Creel
says, than the average American
when it comes to knowing the his
tory of his land. And he is much
better than the average American
in knowing well what he does know.
It would have been interesting had
he been permitted to examine the
Chicago Tribune's lawyer as to his
knowledg of machinery. .
What the history lesson did, how
ever, points out America’s former
publicity agent, and what it was
meant to do, was to throw the
grasshopper mind of the American
reading public off the one concrete
admission of the whole trial. This
was the confession of the owners
of the Tribune that they wanted
war with Mexico in 1914 and did
not want war with Germany, and.
i further, that even to our very ac •
jceptance of a state of war with the
i imperial German government, the
! Tribune insisted that unrestricted.
: submarine warfare did not consti
tute a sufficient ground for war.
STATEMENT SHOWS
BIG PRODUCTION OF
MEXICAN Oil WELLS
MEXICO CITY. — A stupendous
array of figures greets the investi- ]
gator who attempts to ascertain how
much oil has been conveyed from
Mexico during the past few years,
and what the profits are to those
who have ventured to sink fortunes
in an effort to tap the petroleum
deposits that are known to underlie
certain portions of the republic. :.
A statement recently furnished to
The Associated Press by the de-!
part of commerce and industry
graphically portrays the growth of
this industry, which now, as during
the war, when its wells furnished
much of the motive poVer that took
troops and supplies to France and
victory, occupies such a prominent
place in the relations between Mexi
co and the United States.
From 1901 to 1918, inclusive, the
production of crude petroleum in
the republic amounted to 285,910,
798 barrels, every year showing a
consistent gain over that previous.
In 1901 only 10.345 barrels were
produced. In 1914 production reach
ed 26,235,403 barrels, and in 1918,
163.828.326 barrels.
During the year 1918. out of 63,
828.326 barrels of petroleum pro
duced, two companies—El Aguila
and Huasteca—produced 37,107,104,
according to the statement’s figures.
Export data indicates that Tam
pico leads all ports, in 1918 more
than 5,271.012 tons of petroleum
having left that harbor Approxi
mately half that amount left via
Tuxpan.
; According to the statement there
'are 299 producing wells in Mexico, i
ALL LIVING CREATURES
SHUN STRANGE PLANT
One of the most interesting plants 1
we have in the Atlantic states is the
Virginia wild ginger.
The plant grows in very hilly and
wooded places and is easily recog
nized by its kidney-shaped leaves
and curious purplish brown flowers.
These flowers grow one on a stem
No living thing will eat its bitter
leaves and you rarely see the flower
unless you hunt for it, for they hide
themselves out of sight if possible.

GERMANS FORBID
SALE OF MEDALS
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
EX GERMANY.—Sale of a repro
luction of the Lusitania medal,
vhich for a time was being peddled
n the occupied areas, has been for-!
ridden in the Rhine provinces by
die oberpresident. Hundreds of the ■
nedals were bought by American i
ioldiers as souvenirs. Writing to \
Holonel I. L. Hunt, officer in charge ;
>f civil affairs in the American area,
■egarding the sale of the medal by
Germans, the oberpresident says:
"1 wish to inform you that such
i medal has. of course, never been
roined or caused to be coined by
my German government. The medal
s simply the outcome of misguided
Lrift and greediness on the part of i
ertain private dealers who, in a i
nost unwarrantable manner, publish-1
:d this tasteless reproduction and
lave hawked it about, without con-j
idering for one moment that by so |
loing they stimulate the animosity \
igainst Germany.”
The story generally current with j
he sale of this issue of the medals |
vas that thev were made in Munich !
>y the manufacturer of the original,!
vhich was issued in 1915 after the '
inking of the Lusitania, and from
he same dies on which the original
ssue was cast. These dies, accord-j
ng to the story, were ordered de
stroyed by the German government :
ifter but 28 medals had been struck
>lf. but were surreptitiously saved
>y Karl Guertz, who is reported to
lave been the designer. The Ger
nan government has several times |
ienied that any Lusitania medal was '■
:ver issued with consent of any gov-1
irnment officials.

grapes, which have jumped in price

are being rapidly bought up by the
wineries, and this, it is believed,
presages a confidence in the success
