said James L. MARI speaking for the
firm of Austin & Mari. Il nave tried
! the palm and it grows well in Ell Paso
have some plants in my yard on San
! Antonio street that are five years old
/ and they are in fine shape. 1 took
( some of the largest palm fans that
/ 7 ever saw. from these trees last wear.
| Last winter the coolest we had had
/ in Ell PasO in a decade, the palms
/ lived through the entire winter with
! out any protection. 1 had been wrap
/ ping them each winter before, but
! thew were neglected last winter and
we happened to have real hard
! freeze rather early. 1 thought if the
l cold would kill them at all, they had
! already been killed, so did not have
/ them wrapped and just left them alone
| through all the freezing weather that
( we had-and it got down below zero
} vet they budded out in the spring in
/ beautiful shape and thrived splendidly
/ all during 1913. Palms will grow here
/ and they will be extensively used in

"a traveller took occasion to 'cuss
! out the depot gateman this morning
| said ". r. Martin, superintendent Of
1 the union station. The trouble arose
the mans women friends to accom-
panv him through the gates into the
train walks. This is against orders
, and the gateman was only carrying
out his orders. This seems to be a
favorite pastime 'bawling out the
gateman, and a number of people IN
FL Paso follow it frequently The
gateman has nothing to do but stand
out in the cold in winter and the sun
in summer punch tickets and be
'bawled.' Travellers seem to think
that they are privileged to 'cuss out
the gateman and that he does not
dare talk back. This reminds be of
Mark TWain'S story about the differ
ent nationaIities He said I have no
prejudice against anyone on account
OF race, color, creed or sex All L
need to know is that they are human,
then 7 know they can't be any

has brought the board to believe that
there must be something attractive
in the school work which is drawing

fore. The census which starts in April
will show just what percentage OF the
school children are refugees and how
many of them live in FL Paso perma-
nently."
