Park Commissioner Ready
to Donate the Bulbs to the
Ell Paso Citizens.
TREES SHOULD
ALL BE SPRAYED

Free Gamma lilies for home decoration
may be had from the city park commits
sioner. This announcement was made
by commissioner Harris today. He has
"a large number of Gamma bulbs stored
at San Jacinta plaza and Cleveland and
this season in his park planting. The
bulbs are mostly those of the yellow
varieties. and they may be had by call
ing for them at either of these parks
and bringing receptacles in which to
take them away in.
The park commissioner has completed
his planting campaign for the spring
and with the exception of a few trees,
which are being set out in Cleveland
square and Austin triangle, his work
of tree planting for this year is com
pleted- He is preparing to spray the
locust, chinaberry and poplar trees in
the city parks, which he has found are
infested with either a fungus growth
or with white scale. He has the for
mula for an emulsion which he will use
for this purpose and which he offers
to give to anyone desiring to protect
their trees from these pests The park
commissioner says 1t is urgent that the
trees should be sprayed whenever they
are found 10 be infested, as the dis
eases common to trees soon spread to
all of the trees in that neighborhood
and do serious damage There is state
law which requires that infected trees
should be sprayed, the commissioner
says, and while it IS not being enforced
at the present time, it will be neces-
sary for a rigid enforcement of the
law.

Col. Huston Recites Some Of
the Expenditures Made
Here by Government.
NECESSITY FOR
A BIGGER POST

As valuable a private citizen as
an army officer, Col. ]. F. Huston. COM
mander of the 18th infantry until it
left Fort Bliss for the Philippines. Is
giving the men who are IN charge OF
the movement for the enlargement Of
the FL Paso fort some valuable infor-
nation and data regarding this irnpor-
tant step in the development OF the city.
Col Huston is now a full f1edged citi-
zen of FL PasO, and expects 10 make
this his permanent home, as he is TO be
retired within a short time, because OF
the age limit.
At the chamber Of commerce lun-
cheon Thursday, Col. Huston gave facts
and figures 10 show the exact value Of
Fort Bliss a commercial asset TO FL
Paso, and just what it would mean 70
have the local post enlarged 10 a regi-
mental and later TO a brigade post 1T
is best to get at the pecuniary benefit
of the post from an estimate of the
cost OF supporting the present garrison
as IL stands now" Col. Huston said.
The pay OF the officers and enlisted
men amounts TO s11.366 a month. At
least 10 percent OF this amount goes
into circulation right here in FL Paso-
Civilian employees at the post collect
$500 a month from the government
Other expenses Sn support Of the post
amount TO s7500\a year, and the con-
tracts for hay and. grain $1,000, fuel
$4,000. and. as the department has not
blessed US with an electric light plant.
our bill for coal oil AMOUNTS to $500
for the year For beef thS commissary
department spends $500 The flour
ration is contracted for in the east. and
FL Paso does not get dip out or this
Sundries run up to $1,000 a year.
This estimate runs the amount ex-
pended in FL Paso up TO $4,000 year,
which Is put in circulation right haze
in FL Paso. While the rate would noS
increase with the increase OF the post
in equal ratio, IT is safe to say thar
with a brigade post here, the amount
spent with En- Paso people, would be
more than 10 times what ii is now This
is the answer to the question, Is an
enlarged army post worth while for Ell
Paso?"

In Address By j. Buie Before the Chamber Of

Advertising is the one indestructible
asset of business. All other assets
may be wiped out in one way or an
other, but the advertising of a firm
remains upon which the business may be
rebuilt And what applies to individual
or corporate business in this respect
will, with equal force apply to a city.
Inc purpose of advertising is to create
desire upon the part Of the reader
TO acquire that which you have for
sale, and induce him to pay you profit
on the Transaction. There are several
KINDS OF Observation-Disclosures that
brings results, but does not pay, adver-
Using that neither brings results nor
pays, and advertising that brings re-
suits and profits with it.
There is a fine distinction between
advertising that pays and that which
brings results only. which is best illus
trated by the reply of an acquaintance
OF mine who secured q wife by adver-
using AS it happened he was one of
those fellows who didn't believe in adj
vertising, but having been unable to
get wife in the usual way, he finally
decided to advertise for one, and was
successful. Some time after his matri-
monlal venture he met friend who
said:
Hello, John, L understand you got
your wife by advertising"
Yes that's true replied the newly
made benedict.
Well" continued the friend, II sup
pose you are now convinced that adj

Err. well, er. that is stammered
