The thinly -clad, barelegged and bare-footed men in the ahove picture are Yucatan Indians, engaged in cuttias "toting" to I nlll the leaves of the henequen plant, from which three fourths of the binding twine used in tha
United States i.s manufactured. Under the old Diaz regime In Mexico these Indians were corralled by govern* ment agents and soldiers in the State of Sonora and shipped by tralnloads and boatloads to Yucatan, where they
were sold Into .-; very. Until the establishment of the present government In Yucatan these poor Indians worked
in the henequen elds for a bare existence. One of the flrat of the offlclal acts of Governor Alvarado of Yucatan
was to declare in favor of the payment of living wages to ail laborers, the conscqdence being that these men who
cultivate the pi.T from which American farmers get most of their binding twine are now receiving from 70 to
80 cents (gold) k, r day. Public schools are being established for their children throughout Yucatan,

PERSONAL CLEANLINESS IN YUCATAN.
Gen. Salvador Alvarado, Oovemor of Yucatan, Mexico, has earned an en¬ viable reputation throughout Mexico by his promulgation of numerous reform laws designed to aid the mass of the State's population. He abolished the lottery, decreed prohibition of the sale of all alchollc liquors within the Stale, made laws that Insure big wage In¬ creases to the laboring men, encour¬ aged the women to organize an equal suffrage movement, established ppbllc Bchools and Institutions for training young p:ieu and women (q domestic science %nd the trades, abolished the vice districts and either jailed or de¬ ported men who were wont to live off the earnings of women of the under¬ world, established a modern sanitary code. Instituted legal reform designed to lessen the cost of litigation, elim¬ inated uselasa offlce holders, and among other things, made effective a co-operative marketing system under state supervision for the benellt of the henequen farmers.
The term "Greaser," sometimes applied to Mexicans, does not flt the people of Yucatan, for in that state is to he found at least as great a degree of personal cleanliness as Is exhibited by an entire population in any part ot the world. Everybody in Yucatan bathes dally, usually more than once each day. Furthermore, 90 per cent, of the people seen on the streets of Merlda and other cities and towns of Yucatan are garbed In light linen or cotton clothes freshly laundered. Personal flltbiness would not be tolerated In Yucatan. The streets of the capilal, Merlda, are a model of cleanliness.
There never was a visitor to Yucatan who did not remark instantly upon the cleanliness of the Yucatecos. Most of the peons are bare-footed, but their bodies and tbeir clothes are spotless. The above photograph Is of a street scene in Merida, and it is wbfthy of note that every person, man or woman, is garbed in white.
SOURCE OF AMERICAN BINDER TWINE.
1
The above photograph shows Vucatan laborers wi'«ghing and baling henequen, commonly called sisal gi : which is used for the manufacture of about 70 per cent, of the binder twine used by the grain farmers of th( i United States. The henequen plant, which produces this strong and lengthy white flbre, lq a member of the agai j family. Yucatan produces annually nearly one million bales of henequen, of an average weight of 376 poundi {worth in round flgures $26,000,000 lo $30,000,000. Practically the entire production is shipped to the United Stati j where it is manufactured into binder twine, rope, carpets, rugs, bags, etc. "La Comision Reguladora del Mei cado de Henequen," a sUte conunlssion created by thc Yucatan legislature In 1912, markets virttially the en I henequen crop, thus saving to the growers the profits xo^ commissions usually made by middlemen. In the'valat [of products handled, this commUslon la said to be the bigfeest co-operative marketing system eBtablished in the ia«i Iterest of farmers, operating in any part of the world. The cost of operation of tbe commission is prorated among) Ithe fanners, who get the entire net proceeds of the sales of henequen.
r Until last year, when the henequen growers of Yucatan got together snd agreed to market tbeir crops!
Itkrongh the state commission, the henequen market of Tncatan had been subjected to the control of speculators. ' ¦^yt ^ ^^ w,————— -
