VITO A. W. REEVES should go
the credit of the cnertSer Of
commerce dinner" saio Robert
Krakauer, president OF the chamber OF
commerce. The first dinner was one
of the most successful ever held in FL
PasO, the speakers had something in
teresting to say about the things that
Ell PasO is most interested in and the
attendance was fine considering that II
was the first meeting this year.
Our secretary worked hard to make
that dinner a success and 1 think ne
should have the credit for 1t. If all
succeeding dinners are as good as thaL
one the chamber Of commerce will pc
proud of them and our work will be
lightened for the members will be be-
! hind us and we can put through any
thing we wish. Secretary Reeves was
discouraged at first because Of the few
usual Ell PasOans made good and at
/ tended the meeting as they always do
( when there is something worth hearing.
| We are planning more such meetings as
( that one and we expect to double the
/ number who attended"

Paso. and no place that 1 would trade
I for this town"
Hunting is surely fine sport at this
/ time of the year" said Douglas Allen.
while other game is plentiful it seems
to me that there are fewer punches Of
J ducks passing over this section of the
! country than in former years. Inc
| ducks seem to be routing their south
ward migTations by different district
! this year"
/ THE Christmas shopping has been
very good this season and FL Paso SHOP
/ pers do not seem to be bothered very
| greatly by the hard times talk" said
Robert Mullin. Perhaps people are not
purchasing as large, or expensive lhlhss
as at some former seasons but the gen,
eraI holiday trade has been very good
Mexico City, under three governments
in one week, suffered less from 1ootlng

government Of Carranza," said Onklchl
Hayaski, a Mexico City merchant who
is in the city on his way to Japan.
I when the CarFanza troops leIC there
was a sort of government under Luclo
Blanco. A day after. however, the "a
patistas came in. It is wrong to sup
pose that the people of the city reared
the Zapatistas. We used to but in the
last wear they have continually been III

which the Zapata troops needed badly
The Villa troops seized a few bakeries

being used in the city.
