Calles Inaugurated
PLUTARCO E. CALLES took up the reins of of power in Mex-
ico on December 1. He was the first man since the autocratic
rule of Porfirio Diaz to ascend to the presidency of the great re-
public without recourse to arms or intrigue. The peaceful revolu-
tion staged by Obregon came nearest to it but in hi* case there
was a revolt against the powers that be. Calles went before the
electorate and gained the presidency through votes.
His election and inauguration under such auspicious conditions
gives a hope that is almost a promise that the days of trife and
revolt are at an end. Calles has the best wishes of every Amer-
ican. He has promised a square deal for foreign capital and that
is all that any foreign corporation should ask.
His ascension to the presidency is a tribute not only to his
own popularity and worth but to the man whofn he succeeded—
Alvaro Obregon. Obregon came in a conqueror having led to
success a bloodless revolution against Carranza himself a revo-
lutionist. But Obregon was a patriot. He sought no personal gain.
Instead he has worked constantly to restore Mexico to life under
the protection and guidance of its constitution. In this he has
been successful and now Calles is to carry on.
I Mexico is rich in resources—especially rich in raw materials.
It has great possibilities agriculturally; its mountains teem with
Ihe wealth that is in metals; its tropical regions offer fruits and
rare woods. No section of the world can boast of more varied re-
sources and it only remains for development along peaceful line3.
Here the foreigner can help; for he has the money that is needed
to develop.
The Herald extends to Calles and his people the best wishes
of the border and Texas and predicts that if the policies hereto-
fore announced are carried out great progress will be made dur-
ing his administration.

I The War on the Insects
A WELL KNOWN scientist has been credited with the state-
ment that were it not for the tendency of insects to war
r upon each other thus holding down their numbers life on earth
would be impossible for the vertebrates including us humans.
-<• The UAited States department of agriculture keeping this
5 thought in mind has been very busy for many years promoting
insect wars. Entomologists have been engaged in a study of in-
l sect pests and their natural enemies with the result that many
\ parasites harmless to man have been introduced. Thus in many
instances very injurious insects have in a large measure been
controlled.
Among the late accomplihments is the introduction of a para-
site that is preying upon the alfalfa weevil. This weevil has
caused great damage to the alfalfa crop in certain regions and
continues to spread the department reports but the imported
enemy is spreading at about the same rate and is successful in
"keeping the weevil down in many localities.
The gypsy moth which has done great damage in New Eng-
land and certain other Eastern states is being fought by various
means including parasites brought from Europe which are cred-
ited with doing the most effective work. Parasites of the Jap-
anese beetle and the European corn borer also have been brought
in.
The department maintains a laboratory in France where para-
sites are being found and studied for future importation into the
United States when it is known just what can be expected of them.
We humans are unaware of the great warfare that goes on
about us except when publicity is given to some parasite that has
been introduced to fight a pest attacking us or our crops. Yet in
the insect world more than anywhere else the law of the survival
of the fittest rules supreme. Tremendous battles occur between
ant colonies. The spider and the yellow jacket fight it out at
times. And within our own bodies there goes on continually the
conflict between the health and disease microbes. Our own
state of health tells us which side is winning.
The department of agriculture is doing a great work in pro-
moting agriculture and in no direction is it more beneficial than
in research.

term senatorship flora Colorado has
a mean nickname to live down.
During the campaign his democratic-
adversary gave him the name of a pat-i

“Puffed Rice" Means.
Means' friends however insist that
the nickname is entirely .misleading—
that theie is nothing puffed or windy
about him at all; that instead he is a
very solid and substantial citizen with
a fine fighting record both in the Span-
ish American and World Wars and a
recommendation for a medal of honor
for service in the Philippines to his
credit.
