do they get Strawberries in the course

CAN ENTERTAIN VISITORS,

In less than three weeks the visi-
tors for the Panhandle Cattlenen's
Association will be in Roswell. They
are coming in greater numbers this
a. than before. Just how many
more will come is a matter of uncer-
tainty, but from the Indications there
will be at least $500 more visitors
than last time. The people of Ros-
well will have to come to the front,
open their homes and help entertain
the same as they did two years ago,
only they will have a bigger crowd
than eve to take care Of. It is esti-
mated that there are 1900 more peo-
pie in Roswell than there were two
years ago. There are about 200 more
houses here than two years ago, and
this leaves a higher average of in
mates for the houses that are here.
These facts and figures will show the
reasoning mind that the people will
have to make greater sacrifices and
work harder to find accommodations
that two years ago.
It has been decided that It will be
unnecessary to make a canvass of
the town., as was done two years ago,
TO cur rooms. The people now I'M
derstand what Is expected of them.
and it is thought they will come for
hard with the desired information. Ev

Local option is undoubtedly dead
for this session of the legislature.
Councilman McBee has made several
efforts to bring local option bills from
the committee where they had been
conveniently buried but in every case
was defeated. 1t Is noteworthy that
the solid democratic vote was for IN
sideration OF the local option bills and
the solid republican vote against such
consideration. In other words n re-
publican party refuses to listen to the
wishes of the people of the territory,
but It is bound hand and foot by the

Behold his auto big and new;

Note how he sits with swelling vest
In his cafe the very best
And orders things to eat and drink
At which a millionaire would blink.
You'd scarce suppose this man to be
Bowed down by awful poverty;

Is floors and walls and windowpanes
So poor hundred plunks would buy
His worldly wealth if he should die,
Yet this is true, the world should
