The primo object Of the Internal

Of the thousands Of Northern aud
Eastern visitors, who are expected, wha,
is being done In the way Of convert
ing the old time cattle aud shelp ranges
Of New Mexico, Arizona, Nortern Mex

Of the enterprise are anxious that every
community In the territory outlined

hall.
Mr.. Clements says that up to this time
he and other travelling representatives
Of the II Paso fair, have been 80 sue.
cessful In securing exhibits that the
Fair, though this will be the first to
be held in II Paso, promises TO rival
any OF the older and more firmly es.
tAblished fairs at Albuquerque, Phoenix
or San Antonio.
No expense is being spared TO make
the fair attractive, from every point
Of view.
While the exhibits Of cattle, farm
products and minerals, will be com.
plete and calculated TO please cattle
men, farmers and miners, the Amuse.
ment committee has arranged a pro.
gram that will keep the great crowd
interested every moment Of fair week.
The horse show promises, according
to Mr.. Clements, to eclipse anything
Of the kind ever before attempted In
the Southwest.
The races have attracted the best

The attendance Of pupil. in the Tu.

The attendance Of pupils in the Tu.
eumesri schools for the fret month was
O truly remarkable records namely
oo.ss per cent, the highest percent In
any Of the seven city schools Of New
Mexico. This IL a record Of which the
patrons Of our schools should be justly
proud. Superintendent Munson and the
teachers are making a strenuous effort
to maintain this record and parents
should give them oil assistance posi-.
BILE In this matter. Unless pupils are
in school every day they can not make
satisfactory progress, and soon fall be-
hind their classes. Teachers can not
be blamed for this, they have a right
10 expect pupils TO be in school every
day and on time, unless sickness inter
feres. Let everybody pull together and
make this the best school town In the
Southwest.
