Southwestern system during
October, 1914 and October, 1913, shows
that there was a decrease this year
OF AZ percent said R. P. Kyle. safety
supervisor of the Southwestern sys-
TEN. In other words, there were al
most half as many hurt last month as
there were year ago. The Ell Paso
shops of the Southwestern system show
the largest decrease, IS percent; the
western division, which extends from
II PasO to Tucson, a decrease Of 81
percent and the eastern division, eX-
len9lhS from Ell PasO to Dawson N M
a decrease of 81 percent over. the
/ ehIlre system. during October, 1914,
lhere was only one man killed This
vas a Mexican, who practically TOOK
ms own life by Jumping, on moving
train and falling under the wheels In
making this statement the southwest
ern Is not bOasting of its small num-
per Of accidents, but is calling atten-
ton TO the practical side of safety
fist. The words safety first are
becoming so common and hackneyed
mat the humanitarian side IS OFTEN
overlooked. We see safety flrSt drug
SlStS, safety first transfers and safety
tlrst insurance companies, and to our
mind 1t becomes almost trade mark
however, when we realize that by
using safety first that life and limb
are belng protected, we can truly be
thankful that safety is first"
Eel Paso county has more improved
highways than any other county in this
section of the southwest" said county
Judge a. S. J. Eylar. There is more
than 200 miles of improved highways
IN the city and county, and the i'm
rrOvements on the roads are contin-
uing. By next summer there will be
something like 225 miles Of improved
roadway. Good roads has made haul
ing cheaper for the valley farmers and
has increased the demand for automo-
biIes and auto trucks"

The property owners in the vicinity
OF the new high school site have an
nounced their willingness to do the
grading requested by the board Of ed
ucation, and I believe that the new
high school building will be started
within a short time" said J. E. Morgan,
president of the school board. "A COM
p.ittee of the property owners informs
the board they are ready to start grad
ing"
From letters I have received it is
my opinion that the farmers in the
valley are ready and anxious for the
building of creamery, said George
LeBaron. THE matter has now pro-
crossed to a stage where the building
OF dairy is practically assured
Farmers in the upper valley have Of
feTed to subscribe $1,000 and many OF
those in the lower valley have already
promised to subscribe to stock in the
new project 1t is hoped that there
will be a large meeting of farmers at
the chamber of commerce on December
.. The situation viii be thoroughly
csnvassed at this time and il the re-
sul1s are as favorable as we expect
pla1s will then be laid for the building

Reports from all over the country
are to the effect that financial condi-
items are improving" said A Schwartz.
Of no
pean war began people feared a panic
in this country and refused to part
with their money. But since they have
seen that this country has not been
materially affected they have begun
to loosen up with their money. To
tie great credit of Ell PasO let il be
stated that the citizens here did not
become excited Seevral of the larger
stores have been employing from 40 to
sc more people this fall than they did
a year ago. The people in other sec
tons have come to a realization Of the
fact that there will be no financial
stlingency after all"
I'VE IN the Sunset school feel very
strongly that the Parent Teachers as
soriaticns are of value to the school
teachers" said Mrs. Empress AIRING
ton. TOO often the parents look upon
the teacher as being bit meddlesome
method that has been allowed by the
parents. On the other hand, the teach |
ers are sometimes prone to feel that
any suggestion coming from the par |
ents is adverse criticism. By getting |
the parents and the teachers together |
and letting them know each other, |
much good for the child can be accom- |
plished."
There is no medicine in the world !
to compare with the fresh air Of FL /
Paso," said judge Henry A Brann, or /
New York. This is especially true in /
the case of rheumatism. I left New !
York eight months ago bed-ridden with /
rheumatism for more than two years. |
I had been treated by the foremost |
socialists in the country and they did !
me not the slightest good. Yet, after |
spending eight months in Ell Paso, I 1
am able to get around to such an eX-
tent that I have been seriously consid- !
ering taking Up the practice Of law"
