for the great trade area that FL Paso
now occupies
This spirft has never been missing.
As the concern grew and newer blood
came into its arteries, the new mingled
with the old in the constructive work
for FL Paso and the Southwest To-
dav. Robert Krakauer, first vice presi-
dent Of the concern. is president Of the
chamber Of commerce and a leader in
the work that is being carried on to
advertise FL Paso's advantages to the
world. and thus in the year 1914,
twentv-eight years after the founding
Of this progressive firm, one Of its
leaders is found identified with the
growth OF FL Paso the city, with as
much enthusiasm and energy in this
work as its original promoters exer-
cised in the development Of the village
Of FL Paso.
s.Like Father, Like Son"
julius Krakauer, another son Of the
senior founder Of the firm, secretary
treasurer Of the present concern, has
for years been leader among the
young men Of the city in civic mat
tiers. It was largely due to his efforts
that the annual Sunshine in January"
carnival that made FL PasO famous,
was so successful year after year. As
a member Of the board Of directors he
always worked with the same spirit OF
civic pride that had marked the work
Of his fllustrious father in the earlier
days His influence has been felt in
many other lines of activity in the
city-particularly in matters pertain
ing to civic beauty and welfare.
Pioneer Members Of Firm.
To the late Max Krakauer, formerly
of FL -Paso and later Of chihuahua,
Mexico. with C. York, now president
Of the corporation, and A. N. Kra-
kauer, the firm owes much of its
growth and prosperity. Through their
efforts in Mexico. the name Of Kra-
kauer. Fork & Moye became as well
known there as it is here. Their work
was always in line with the progress

HTWENTY-EIGHT years in business
in FL Paso is the record Of the
firm Of Krakauer, York & Moye,
Successors, Inc, the firm which today
takes up the y pages Of this section
Of The FL Paso Herald to set forth the
merits Of the various lines which it
handles for the jobbing and retail
trade in the Great Southwest.
The progress of this firm has been
synonymous with the growth and prog
ress Of the region which it serves;
synonymous with the growth Of FL
Paso, the city in which it makes its
headquarters. The firm has been iden-
titled with FL Paso since FL Paso was
a village Its officers and stockhold-
ers as a firm and as individuals, have
been identified with the progress of
FL Paso from the first
The late Adolph Krakauer, senior
member Of the original establishment,
was one Of the substantial, solid citi-
gems Of the city when good men were
needed to bring out the best that was
in the growing village. His identity

are others of the younger generation
who have come into the firm In late
years, all equally progressive; all
equally endowed with the civic pride
that has always been so interviewer
into the life of the firm. All these
men have been identified with the
progress made by the corporation in
late years. as well as with the more
important movements for the benefit
Of FL Paso.
Identified With FL Paso History.
So. it would be impossible to write
history Of FL Paso without including
history Of the firm of Rrakauer, York
& Moye, Successors, Inc. The firm
started, it might be said. when FL Paso
started for it was founded just at the
time when FL Paso was laying aside
It's village clothes and bursting into
being as trade metropolis and a city.
Its growth has Deeu steady. The
SOUND business policy, its fairness to
the trade, the fact that # always car
ried complete lines: that it did its
business Systematically; that It gave
as much attention to small things as
to large ones; that its name was a
guarantee and its guarantee as good
as a government bond, have won for it
recognition throughout the Southwest
such as 1t received from its inception
in FL Paso.
Pioneer WORK of Value.
Experts Of the firm have studied con-
ditions Of the Southwest, and have
sought to meet these conditions: to
promote them, even. where the promo
ton was for the benefit Of the city
and section As an example. the firm
was among the first to test out irriga-
tlon machinery for the valley: il was
the tirst TO have its men make a study
OF conditions and needs and select the
machinery that would best suit these
needs This did not apply solely to
FL Paso conditions, but to the sur
Iounulng country. Conditions We're
studied in other communities and when
a decision was reached this FL Paso
house was first on the ground with
its products Tried and tested. these
products found favor and the firm
profited and FL Paso profited- Soon
II became by-WOrd that "El Paso
can supply it. when machinery was
mentioned, and FL Paso meant the pi-
oneer institution Of Krakauer. York &
Move, for the firm had established its
right to this by its early foresight and
industry. Thus in reaching out for
business for itself-Often at a cost that
was not returned for many years. in
cases OF experiments and tests-the
establishment did much to draw atten-
ton to FL Paso as well as to itself.
Some Interesting History.
The beginning was humble, and the
progress was for a time slow. but al
ways certain In recent years the
growth has been enormous. With its

THIS Is NOT A FISH STORY.
Cat Walks Nine Miles, BringinE
Home Three kittens.

Swapping cat stories seems to be
one of the leading pastimes of the sum-
mer months. From a subscriber in Vir-
ginia. comes the following remarkable
tale-not tail-of a mother cat.
One Of the tenants on the subscrib-
ers homestead moved about three
miles from the place and asked per-
mission to take with him one of the
fourteen cats on the farm, choosing
"Spotty," so named because she has
a large white spot between her eyes.
the only one on her coat OF gray.
The tenant was told that the cat
would not stay with him, % yes she
WILL" he replied She has three kit
tens and 1 will take them along, too"
So Spotty and the kittens were taken
along.
The next morning." the subscriber
writes. "to my great surprise, when I
opened the dining room door. there sat
'Spotty.' and / wondered what the poor
motherless kittens would do. After
breakfast my brother went to the barn
and called me. There in the old box
was 'Spotty' with her three babies.
She had walked nine miles, crossing
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad six
times, for she could only have carried
one kitten home at a time"

New Haven, Conn, July 5.-The name
Of Theodore Roosevelt may be placed
on the Progressive ticket as the candidate
for governor Of New York in the ccm-
ing primaries, according to letter from
George w. Perkins, printed in the Pal
ladium, the Connecticut organ of the
Progressive party. Mr.. Perkins writes:

''Our situation in this State . is
shaping up all right and 1 believe We

position.
Polls that have been taken in good
many parts of the State show very
strong demand that the colonel should
run for governor. He, of course, does
not want to do this and has said he
will not do il and he insists on this posi-
tion. However, there is just a possibility
that the disgust of the voters for both
the old party machines may result in such
a strong call for him TO run that his
name may be put down in the primaries
anyway.
New York, July 5.-A clash with his as
scciate editors on the Outlook was given
today as an impelling reason1fo Colonel
Roosevelt resigning as contributing edi-
tor last week. Roosevelt, had decided
ideas upon the course to pursue in the
Panama Canal tolls repeal and they did
not agree with those of the Outlook edi-
Tors.

the question of exemption for American
ships, while the Outlook staff wanted ab-
solute repeal The outlook ran editorials

interview at Para, Brazil, and again after
his return from South America, attacked
the President. Divergence Of opinions not
alone en- the Panama Canal tolls but on

CHECK signing DEVICE
SAVES TWENTY Miles
Modern Machine in Pension Office

of Signature.
DOES TEN YEARS WORK IN ONE

Twenty miles of signature, half OF the
distance from here to Baltimore, Is saved
by ]. S. Jones and William Adreon, two
Pension Once clerks, every year because
they sign checks by machinery.
About S30,oo0 checks. disbursing a, total
amount of s1so. .ooo. 600, pass under the pens
OF these men during each year of Pen
sion ONCE business. The money is, to all
practical purposes, checked out over the
signature of Guy o. Taylor. disbursing
clerk of the bureau. Without the aid Of
machinery 1t would take ten years to
finish the work. Every pension check
that leaves the ofice bears the written
signature Of one of these clerks.
The signatures of William Adreon when
measured straight from the tip of the
first wv" to the tail of the final n, -
varies from two and a quarter to two
and three-quarters inches in length.
II he signs half of the so, 800 checks,
or 41010O checks. he repeats his two
and-one-half-fnch signature 0,10O times,
which makes a total of Los, go inches of
signature-without the machine. There
are 1880 inches in one mile By a sim
pie process Of division, we find that,
were it not for the machine, Mr.. Adreon
would have-to write within a tiny frac-
ton of fourteen miles of signature each
year. That would be impossible and, be-
sides, dire diseases like writers cramp
would kill him or paralyze his arm in a

DR.. Richardson, In an interview today,
reafnrmed his assertion made last week
at Atlantic City that the modern dance
constitutes a modern ulcer menacing our
morality and its potent factor in the
production Of crime The professor also
assailed the feminist movement which
encouraged women to initiate the vices
as well as the manner of men,"
Prof Hugo Muensterberg, Harvard's
noted psychologist. added to the furore by
siding with DR.. Richardson. Prof Muen-
