Like the cattIemen OF this section

rain in the Pecos section and the
ranges are in fine condition an the
cattle all look to be in good shape.
There has been considerable snow in
this section. particularly between
Toyah and Sierra Blanca"

1T is not just the thing for visitors
to criticise a city where they are visit
ing, but there is one thing that all
strangers here notice and that is the
lack of street signs" sail Fl F. Reedy'
of Knoxville, Tenn. THE signs on the
curbing at the corners of streets are
o. course, useless for anyone VINO IS
driving. But even these signs, poor
as they are are only found along GER
tam of the streets. In the downtown
district l do not believe that there IS
a single street sign of any kind x
cept around the plaza. STRANGERS IN
III PaS0 must continually ask their
way, The cost of putting up signs
throughout the city would be a large
item, but it would be appreciat ! by
both strangers and Ell Pasoans,"
''The early shopping crusade is be-
ing observed by Ell PasOans, said
M. P. Carlock.
FOL the past several days the early
shoppers have been making Christmas
purchases, and local merchants, es-
pectally the proprietors of the large
department stores, do not beileVe II a
necessity to keep their stores open
more than four or five evenings prior
to Christmas. This will be appreciated
by the shop girl. The clerks ave
been greatly benefited by the early
shopping crusades and the public, dur
ing recent years, has RETAINED from
eleventh hour rushes and do the larger
portion of their holiday shopping
early"

great benefit for young girls travelling

I was here five years ago." said F. W.
knOuenberg, of Quincy, Ill, who is
here on a visit to his son., attorney
Fred Knollenberg.
81 like the spirit shown here and I
am sure that Ell Paso is going to be
a great CITY," he continued.
Il am very much interested in the
Elephant Butte dam and what it will
do for FL Paso. NY son n I are
going to visit the dam before 7 re-
turn home. 1 am interested in 1t as an
engineering feat and because 1 hav
heard so much about what it is going
to do for your valley" Mr.. KnOllen-
berg was accompanied here by Bert J..
GoOdapple, also of Quincy, and they
both visiting Mr.. KnOllenberg's son
and daughterinlaW in Government Hill.
whatever reforms may be desired
in the drama the general public should
remember that the box office is the
only way through which the public
may express an opinion that counts
with the managers of the theaters and
companies" said Mrs. J. D. Love, in
discussing the drama at the Woman's ,
club meeting.
IF the public support the best in the
drama, the nag viii give the !
best to them. If on the contrary, good
plays are given to empty Houses and
poorer class of dramatic enter
tainment is well patronized the man
ayers are going to present the pOorer
class regardless of art or all the re-
talk in the world"
