PLAZA LOUNGERS =
RUSH FOR SEATS
Genial Sunshine Causes In
creased Demand for
Bench Room.

Business in the central plaza is rush
ing these days. Not really rushing, for
business is always at a standstill in
San Jacinto plaza as its occupants have
the glorious task of doing nothing. But
the benches have been occupied for
more than a week and seating room is
at a premium at the present time.
There is a large number of transients
in Ell Paso at the present time, many
from Mexico and the territories and the
city's front yard is a convenient out
door lounging place for them.

The Times Piano Contest Closes on the
10Th at Or m

The TIMES popular girl contest is
fast drawing to a close. On Satur-
dav evening, July 10Th, the ballot
box will be closed, and by Mo ldav,
the 3Oth the vote should all be count.
ed and announced All of this week
the contestants have been working
strenuously, and their friends are
now getting in with them for a hard
fight until the end
There is scarcely a home in this
county which has not felt the inhu-
ence of this contest, and very few
homes remain into which the TINES
does not now make its weekly en-
trance. So keen has been the rival
rv between the contestants that
everybody is watching the progress
Of the contest. Interest continues
to increase with the approach of the
end Nearly every reader of the
paper has selected his favorte candi-
date. Even the little children have
picked their winners
Fair dealing and friendliness have
characterized the contest through
ont, and nothing that can be for
seen is going to qlar the close of it
in any other manner. All of the
girls have had plenty of evidence
that they had many more staunch
and helpful friends than they ever
knew before, and if they ever get
ready to enter politics they will al
ready have developed a friendship
and acquaintance which will be an
invaluable resource.
There is only one regretful thing
about the close of the contest. 1t is
the fact that there are not enough
pianos to round Every girl who
has stayed to the finish has worked
conscientiously and patiently
enough to deserve such a prize as in
this contest can be awarded to but
one. But then each girl has given
sufficient evidence by her tireless
efforts in this contest that she need
never look far for a position which
calls for tact, energy and the secur-
ing of results. Her efforts in the
TIMES contest will serve her ade-
quately enough AS a recommends
tion to any business man.

the ceremony was all right
Then Roy L. LasWe1 and Agnes
RezOc walked proudly to the desk and
asked for a full set of the very best
matrim onial papers the court had in
lives at HavensvilIe- His bride is 20
years old and lives near Emmett. She
wore a white silk wedding gown. white
slippers and there was a real ostrich
plume in her picture hat. She smiled
affectionately at her lover as he tried
to tell the court what he wanted. If
LasweH's teeth chartered it was, of
course because of the cold and not
because the bridegroom was nervous
or excited
They had planned to come to To-
peka to be married, they admitted.
Then the new Mrs. Laswell vOlun-
teered that this was just about the
best Christmas she ever knew. And,
to think, she declared, the weather
just couldn't be better.
After the ceremony Judge Schoch
lighted a stogie and sat down to wait
