The young men who are organizing
the Pass City dancing club believe
that the time has come for the young
people of FL Paso to have some place
where they may go and dance as long
as they wish and know that they will
not have to mix with anyone they do
not wish to know" said VIII Crosby.
''The club will be conducted on as
strict a basis as any of the private
dances and the program will be just
as attractive. They believe that dane
ing is a good, wholesome amusement
and that If there were more such places
as they propose to conduct there would
be fewer young people on the streets
I'VE are particularly proud of one
feature of our recent entertainment"
said Miss Alicia Swami, principal of
the Villas school I'm one of the cho-
ruses FOf the Operatta a Spanish song
was sung by the pupils in costume.
Th1s was the first Spanish chorus to be
errae 17r4rs en1nre al
children, and not single child of the
chorus was Of Spanish or Mexican con-
nectiOn. That the pupils sang the
Spanish words so well is a good exam
PIE of our Spanish work this term in
the schools, considering that Spanish
was first introduced into the grade
schools just last fall. We are also very
proud of one of our teachers Miss Mar
guerite IversOn, who trained the chill
dren for the majority of the folk
dances"
The mural painting Of FL PasO in the
First National bank building is GER
tainly a joy to see" said DR.. Ida Z.
Bishop. 1T is splendidly painted and
Just like FL PasO looked in the early
days when we came here I remember
that big tree particularly well, for it
was an unusually large tree and very
pretty. 1t was on the corner where the
City National bank is now. Such
picture is a big source of pleasure to
the people who were in FL PasO when
FL Paso was young, as a reminder of
old times, and is invaluable. to the
newer generations to show them the
steps of Ell Paso's progress"
There goes the finest. officer I ever
served under said artilleryman W. b.
Wylie, of battery c, Sixth artillery, as
Gen. Hugh L. Scott passed. Il served
under him when he was a colonel of The

when he was chasing indians. / bave

and he is a man. That is the estimate
of the enlisted men in the army and he
is a soldiers soldier"
Constructive Democrats. What is
that2" asked J. Lee. 4 have been a
Democrat all my life and never up IN
til this time have L ever heard of con-
structiVe Democrats. / must confess
that is a new wrinkle on me. l nave
heard of the Progressive party and
other political parties, but this coll
stTuctive Democratic business is a new
one. What do they mean by that3
What do they intend to construct, or
what are they constructing? If they
are after saving the booze they mad
just as well give up. The handwriting
is on the wall. Booze is on its last
legs It has put the other fellow there
many times, but this time il is going
out forever. 1t may not be this year
or for several years to come, but lie
time is not distant when II WIZ ne
knocked out forever If the anus are
counting on Colquitt to save them on
that proposition they had just as well
abandon the idea. The third term prop
osition alone would be sufficient to de-
feat him COlGuitt can't win this time,
and it would be better to realize that
now than afterwards"
ivan Horn is a great little place
when the wind isn't blowing said W.
W Bridgers. But on this trip the
wind seemed to be blowing all the time.
Eddies of dust filled the streets and
made going out uncomfortable. The
town itself is conner. It is n pretty
little place and her citizens have the
real spirit of genuine boosters. They
are for anything that viii tend toward
the upbuilding Of the city. I always
enjoy my trips to Van Horn I like the
place. It is pretty and has an ideal
location. I will have a weeks vacation
until the special term of the district
court cOnvenes. I will spend it right
here in EI Paso. I do not know any
better place"
