4 Gus problem for this section
of the state" said R. J. Tighe, super
intendent Of city schools. I'VE can
hardly afford to keep a little part OF
Mexico in every one of our west Texas
cities We must do something 10 Amer
icanize these and to teach them some
thing of Americanideais, American
principles and American citizenship. If
the compulsory education law is passed,
if vii make necessary different school
arrangements in order to mouse the
school children, but it will be good
thing for Americanizing our Mexican
inhabitants"
81 remember the time when you
could travel from New York to Bey-
routh, syria, for $2S," said J. E. Mon
roe. That included meals and the
distance made it a 20 days trip This
unusually low price was due to the
rate war among the steamship COM
panies before they got together on
combine. The present rate war among
the steamship companies is reducing
the cost of travel to Europe. The fare
has been cut as low as so from Cal
weston to Bremen, Germany, by some
steamship lines, and at that they nave
raised the agents commissions, II is
almost cheaper to travel than to stay
at home at that rate"
IT wish that you might have been
at the prison camp when fhe news was
spread over the camp that I had the
baby clothes which were made by
chaplain John T. Axton, of the 2Oth
infantry. "As soon as the clothing
was delivered to me and it became
known in the camp, there were 10
women in line waiting to get it for
their children. Many of their little
ones were wrapped in dirty blankets,
and had no clothing OF any kind 1
am keeping few sets Tor emergency,
but all of the rest of the clothing
which was made by Mrs Del Camp,
Mrs. T. A. Bray and the other good
women, has been distributed and the
little ones are now warm and coy. L
have also given out the sweaters 20
the little folks and am distributing the
old clothes as rapidly as possible. To
these women must come the knowl-
edge that they have helped to make
humanity comfortable"

you have printed the quantity of
beans, corn and flour used at the
prison camp in Fort Bliss reservation"
said Winston Pettus, of the Dawson
Fuel company. But the item OF fire.
wood has been overlooked We have
a, contract for $1,000 cords OF the best
grade of oak wood for the prisoners
This wood is being delivered at the
rate of two car loads each day and is
inspe6ted by the government quarter
master and must be first grade oak
wood. Many of those MeXicans have
never seen good, oak wood before and
they hardly know how to make fire
with it,"
'The one thing that has impressed me !
most in Ell PasO is the stylish appear /
ance of the women" said Miss jose J
phine Brann, who spent a few days here /
as the guest of her brothers. The /
women are as stylish as they are in I
New York and I never saw so many I
pretty girls in a town before. They !

"The biggest obstacle now before
