~ q HOULD the city council pass the
Il Thomas r. Ruddy ordinance to
suppress nuisances in the city
OF Ell PasO and within five miles Of the
city thereof, it would result in the
abandonment of the FL Paso Union
sUockyardS, which are to be built IN
the Cotton addition at an expense Of
more than S250O0O," said John i.
Dyer. This company mas acquired 40
acres of land to build these stockyardS
upon, but should the ordinance De

the European war broke out 1t Eatu-
rally had a tendency to tighten the
money markets and many industries
were closed down But since that time
things are better. The money marker
is easier, industries are operating and
a wave of prosperity is sweeping over
the country. The conditions IN the
east now compare favOrably with those
OF Ell PasO, which l find IS little al

81 read with much interest that the
Civic league women were going to de-
vote special time to the study OF par
liamentary law" said Mrs. b. +. Ham
nett. I think this is very Soou
plan. It is almost an absolute neces-
sity for a woman to understand par
liamentary law in this present day.
when women are taking so prom
nent a place in public AFFAIRS IN lne
old days it was not necessary, as rev
women ever participated IN puoIc al
fairs or belonged to clubs or organlza-
tons Even men, who are placed SO
much more often than women IN posi-
lions where an understanding OF par
liamentary law is necessary, are not as
good parliamentarians as they should
be. 1t is an honor to'be called a good
parliamentarian With women con-
stantly advancing to the front in all
sorts of work, 1 know of no better
equipment for public work Of any KIND
than a thorough understanding OF par
liamentary law and 1 would recon-
mend its study to every woman
'While I was in the east recently
/ there was considerable interest SHOWN
in the probability of organized base

said c. W. Mack. "a conjunction be-

law circuit that is now causing SO
much worry would meet with unanl-

Putting alfalfa into stock is much
/ more profitable than selling IL, IN my
/ opinion" said ]. B. Walker. on my
/ ranch near La Mesa I have decided TO
! discontinue baling alfalfa ana from
/ now on I will feed it all to stock In
: the first place it costs about $l.5O a
| ton to bale Then should it rain
/ while the baling is going on. the al
| faIfa will be classed as low grade ana
I will bring lower price. By teedIng

| are done away with. Silos are popu-
! lar in my section and I expect to
! build one this winter. I do not: how
/ ever intend to use it for alfalfa, buI

! be used in it.

active" said James MARI. Despite
