National bsnk Let us have the car
nival by all means. 1t cannot fail to
b. q success. People residing In East

FL Paso. While the carnival would be
OF 10 Immediate benefit to us, we will
unhesitatingly subscribe at least 500

getting in line with permanent winter
attractions for tourists. IL ten thousand
people will visit here to attend
teachers convention when the weather
is scorchinR, a big crowd will certaioly
come when the weather fs perfect. Yes,
l think the mid-winter carnival is
going to be realized next winter.
Attorney w. w. Bridgers, promi-
nent labor man: FL Paso ought to have
the carnival; in fact she ought to have
one every winter. | believe the right
start has now been made and the
movement will prove a success.
