PROSPERITY IN PANHANDLE.
OeveIOpm ent of Great County Keeps all Build
ers on Very Active Hustle.

That the Panhandle is develop
ing faster than any other coun-
try on the globe is conceded
fact by those who are fair mind
ed enough to acknowledge the
truth, Every trip over the sec
ton Of country shows very mark
ed improvement over the last.
Speaking of this condition the
Daily Panhandle has the follow
ing to say in recent issue, and
it come near expressing the act
ual conditions:
Reports from other Panhan-
die towns tell of developments
and improvements" continued
the speaker. Carpenters are
in demand in practically every
town in the Panhandle. This is
true to a greater extent at this
time, perhaps, than ever before.
The good part of this state of
affairs is that the end does not
seem to be in sight.
That is a barometer which
can be relied on to guage the
conditions over the city and the
Panhandle country. A look into
the future, say five years hence,
presents a most inviting state of
affairs. Blind, indeed, is he who
fails to mentally grasp condi-
tions in this fertile region. The
great plains, the Llano EStacado
of our geography days, is now
fast becoming teeming domain
of life and prosperity.
The man of wisdom will take
advantage of conditions today
and not wait until lands and city
realty get beyond the reach of
the average bank account

Meet Progress With Open Arms.

Every town in the Panhandle
country should meet Progress at
the outskirts of the corporate
limits and welcome it with open
arms.
There is not a town or city in
this part of the Great Southwest
that will not become larger as
time goes on. Just how large
any town or community will grow
will assuredly depend upon the
attitude of that town or commun-
ity toward progression.

ing opened up and developed.

VETS ENTERTAINED
BY THE DAUGHTERS
DAUGHTERS or CONFEOERACY ENTER
TAIN CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Hundredth Birthday Of jefferson Davis Conn.,
memora,ed With Appropriate
Exercises.

Yesterday was day to be cele-
brated by the ext -Confederates of
this country, the occasion being
the one hundreth birthday of
Jefferson Davis, the great leader
OF the southern states during the
time of secession. All over the
country appropriate exercises
were held and the ex-Confeder-
ates generally We're to have met
to honor the memory of their ex-
President.
The local warriors, with
many of their friends, were en-
tertained by the local camp of
the Daughters of Confederacy at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. F.
Heller in this city. The daugh-
terS entertained the old soldier
from three to eight o'clock p. m,
during which time an interesting
program was to have been rem
dered.
The reception was going on at
the time we went to press yes
terday afternoon with the last
side of the paper for this week.
While the ex- -COnfederates were
coming together to honor the
man to whom a great deal of the
success attained during the per
lOd of strife between the north
and south, was due, still the
meeting is in its nature one of
reverence, not one to engender a
greater feeling of animOsity
against those who conquered in
the battles. The old veterans
have long ago forgiven those who
opposed them in what they con-
Sdered their great struggle for
heartfelt principles and are con
tent in giving the remaining por-
tion of their lives to the upbuild-
ing and advancement of the re-
united union. Those who did
not participate in that war of
principles do not realize the ear
nestneSS with which these old
soldiers We're imbued when they
took up arms against the strong
er force. They fought great bat
ties for their homes in the sunny
South-nOt for the love of battle,
but for the right of the states.
These matters have been al
leviated by the long years of
time which have passed since the
closing of the war and now the
old veterans who are becoming
each year more and more smaller
| in number, have from time to
time, meetings at which they re-
count the various Incidents of
their times of strife and relive

makes it convenient for them to
operate.
When these things, which go
to make Progress, come your
way, don't scorn them as prOpo-
SitiOnS not worth consideration,
as things coming to get some
thing for nothing.
Welcome them with open arms.
Be good to them. Hug them to
you as precious gifts.
They stand for progression. -

PRE- LlMlNARY PLANS FOR Y. N. C. A. IS
SUGGESTED FOR THIS PLACE.
Proposition Of Buying the old County Court
House for Such Purpose is
Being Discussed.


been promulgated the idea that
the building could. with very
little expense, be turned into an
ideal place for a young men 5
clud on the order of the Young
Mems Christian Association.
The News reporter interview
ed number of the business peo-
pie with reference to the idea
and it seemed to take we'll with
them. 1t was generally suggest
ed that stock company be
formed for the purpose of buy
ing the building and grounds,
the company to have sufficient
capital so that additional lots
might be bought to add to the
present sight for tennis courts
and such like and to tit out a
gymnasium, remodel and rein
ish the present building and in
stall the bathing facilities.
Ifsuch a proposition could be
gotten up there can be no doubt
but that it would be a complete
success for the reason that dues
could be charged for those who
use the building and baths. In
almost every town where there
is a y. NJ. G. a. the proposition
is a financial success not to
speak of the moral development
among the young men Of the
town. While the stockholders
might not receive any great re-
enumeration for their investment,
still arrangements might be
made whereby their dues for
use of the building might be
lightened in proportion to the
amount Of stock held by them.
Those who were approached
about the proposition We're unan-
imOus in stating that there was
Il necessity for such an institu-
tion for the reason that there is
now absolutely no place whore
the young men of the city could
spend their evenings in the pro-
per moral atmosphere. If a
young man now goes out from
home at night he would have to
spend his time at some store on
in some public place where all
sorts of enticementS miTht be
thrown about him. On the other
hand if the city has a building Of
this kind where they could 90
and read or enjoy the benefits of
the gymnasium where the moral
| influences were of the very best
as would be the case with such
an institution, there would event
ually be the greatest benefit
arising upon the character of the
young men and boys of the town.
AS to the amount, nothing def
mite could be aScertained relative
to the cost of the building furth-
er than it is possible that the
! building and lots might cost
something tike $4,000. Then ad.
ditiOnal lots, say two in number
would cost something like 5000.
Remodeling the building and re-
painting. placing baths and such
improvements, say $500, while
an ample gymnasium equipment
would cost about $500. On This
basis the total cost would be
about S5200. 1t ought to- be ar.
ranged so that the young men of
| the town could buy some of the
stock placing the shares at say
so each, so that the young men,
in buying this stock, would feel
/ that their financial influence had
been advanced into the matter.
As to the maintenance, it is
probable that almost every
young man and boy in thi ; city
who leave home at all after sup,

President Attends Theatre
At New York.
Stops Over to Visit Brother
On Way to New Haven. \
Will Attend Meeting Of Yale Cor.
poratlon There Today.

New York, April 14.-President Taft,
on the way to New Haven to attend a
meeting of the Yale Corporation to-
morrow, stopped over in New York to-
night as the guest of his brother, Hem
~ w. Taft. and with Mrs. Taft and q
number of relatives attended a per-
Torrance of 'If | Were King" given
by T.. ". Southern at Days theater.
The President is very fond of the thea
ter ana returning from New Haven to-
morrow afternoon will again stop in
New York, where he is due Friday
morning.
The active life Mr.. Taft has led for
MANY years past, coupled with extern
sive travel and constant travelling has
given him comparatively little oppor-
tunity for theater going, and he now
takes advantage Of every opportunity
that offers The Presidents trip from
Washington was without incident. He
Travelled in a private car attached to
the regular New York Express of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad. The trip was
half holiday for the President and
he thoroughly enjoyed the rest. Mr.
Taft has been putting in many long
hours of work since his inauguration
and today's brief respite from official
duties was decidedly agreeable to him.
The President usually spends from
eight to nine hours a day in the exec
utive Office of the White House and
rs rely eats luncheon. There are many
federal Offices to be filled and much
of his time is occupied in listening TO
recommendations from senators. rep
resentatives and party leaders as to
the fitness of candidates who are being
urged for the various places.
Arriving at Jersey City at 6.37 P. M.
the President and Mrs. Taft, with their
son Robert and several of his college
mates who have been Easter guests at
the White House, entered automobiles
and crossing on the 23rd street ferry
were driven to Henry w. Taft's home
in West 4sth street Col. Archibald
Butt, the Presidents senior military
aide, also was in the party. Miss Helen
Taft, with a schOolmate from Bryn
Mawr, accompanied her mother and
father as far as Philadelphia, where
she changed cars to return to her
studies. Robert Taft is returning to
Yale.
President Taft was particularly
pleased today that the problem OF
choosing a Summer White House"
has at last been solved. AS an
nounced from Washington the new
Summer capital" will he at Wood
bury Point, Beverly, Mass. which Is
conveniently near Manchester and
Gloucester The President Is looking
forward with pleasure to playing
great deal Of golf on the fine links
of the Myopia Hunt Club at Hamilton.
That the President had heard OF the
course undoubtedly had something to
do with the Anal selection OF the Rob-
ert 3. Evans cottage at Beverly.
The President hopes to reach his
summer home soon after the first Of
July. A number Of the Senate leaders
have expressed to him the belief that
the new tariff bin would be ready for
his signature by June 1.

by Western senators and representa-
tives to make a wide trip through the

Notwithstanding the absence Of the
