Waxahachie to this point 1t Ia 52s
miles by rail. and but little short
of that on an air line. Not so grea,
distance when you consider that II
is 500 miles from Texarkana to El
Paso. Yet, we consider New Mexico
as afar of. az an entirely different
country from Texas, and having but
little in common with the Lone Star
commonwealth. As a matter of fact
except from atmospheric and climat-
ic conditions there is very little diff
ference Here in this little village
the American population are just as
hospitable. Just as clever, just as
refined, just as intelligent and Just
as patriotic as we Waxahachians,
and IL anything little broader In
their views and opinions. The older
a civilization grows the more
provincial Ii becomes The newer
and less populous communities do
not possess that clannish characters
tie that marks the older settled Sec
tions. For instance the New Englander
is more hidebound fellow than his
Southern brother. Just so, the South
erner is more provincial than his
western compatriot who lives under
the turquoise skies of a natural sani-
tarium and has the snow capped
mountains for his constant compan-
ions There Is a breadth 20 earth.

While we are constrained TO think
OF this section as far removed from

Texas have found many people here
who claim Texas as their home and
not few who have connections and
friends at Waxahachie. When
called for my mail this morning the
young lady at the window said ::
Miss R was asking me about
you yesterday She said she had a
girl friend al Waxahachie whose
sweetheart was employed in your Of

Well, now. we shall be glad TO have
her call and you may be sure I'll
