Neutrality.
We dare not buy hat from France.
We dare not step a Russian dance,
we dare not sing a German Lied,
We dare not praise a German deed,
For We have many friends you see,
And must preserve neutrality.
We dare not praise Dutch Kaiser Bill,
No foaming wine Of France dare spill
in honor of a Calls friend:
But always ever must pretend
We care not whose the victory
We must preserve neutrality!
When news comes hurting from the front
That praises some bold allied stunt,
Or tells of TeutOns in the van,
Or doughty deeds of Austrian,
We dare not weep nor shout with glee,
For sake of our neutrality.
But some day. far down by the sea,
With no one near and feeling free,
Wen read the news and read our ILL.,
Hurrah for France or Kaiser Will;
Well whoOp her up for whom we please
To Halifax, neutralities!

- 4 FAR as have been able to
n learn, our serenade for The Ell
= Paso Herald Saturday was the
first serenade ever rendered for a news
paper IN the history Of army bands"
said bandmaster Charles H Wadding-
ton, of the 22d infantry. I can state
posllVely 1t is the first time a news
paper mas been serenaded in the history
OF TINS regiment, and The Herald is
certainly the only newspaper we would
turn out IN the rain to serenade. In
aod1uon, FL PasO is the only city where
we would voluntarily parade through
rain We turned out entirely Of our
own accord; And we turned out be-
cause we fully appreciate the treatment
accorded US by the citizens Of Ell PasO
and, particularly, of the treatment
which we received at the hands of The
Herald. The one wish of every man in
the regiment is that we be permanently
assigned to Ell PasO. Many of the men
have subscribed for The Herald to be
sent them at Naco, as they wish to keep
in as close touch as possible with FL
Paso."
Il have hunted in every section Of
the country ever since I was able to
carry a gum said Dave Andrew, a
pioneer of Ell Paso, land I have never
seen small game so plentiful as it is in
Texas this year, particularly in the
vicinity of CanutillO. There is so much
small game up there that there could
be no excuse for anyone starving in
that region, for a person could take a
stick and get enough for a meal at any
time. I shall certainly make that re-
gion my hunting grounds for hunting
this season"
'EI Paso should get back of the Sym
phony orchestra" said A T. Sieyers.
The opportunity to hear good music
that is given in the Symphony Orches-
ira concerts is a splendid thing for a
community, The orchestra should be
given the hearty support Of the music
loving people of FL Paso."

much favorable comment has been
caused by the large pictures of the
Nativity which have been posted about
the city for the Christmas season" said
Ray McCHntOck. THE posters are sup
piled by the Poster Advertising assOCi-
alton and the billposting companies in
each city furnish the space and the
work free. The posters are a part Of
an educational uplift plan Of the asso-
citation. The pictures shown are Of
very good artistic value and are free
from any kind Of advertising"

THE fact that large works have been
going on in and around Ell PasO during
the past several years putting mer-
chants and other business men in good
condition financially, is helping Ell
Paso," said Horace B. Stevens. Now,
as the Elephant Butte dam work is
nearing completion, also the work at
Fort Bliss, and the big work OF the
reclamation service in the valley IS
about to commence, will create
good payroll and contribute to the
prosperity of the city. We have mad
some disappointments as a result OF
the European war, but certainly we
have much to be thankful for"

''NIy sympathies are with the boys
who work and I never fail to assess a
stiff fine against the fellow who steals
a boys wheel" said recorder Ballard
Coldwell, of the corporation court, after
he had fined a Mexican $3.50 for at
tempting to make way with a bicycle
beIonping TO poor boy THE little
fellows who deliver messages and run
errands are frequently contributing 10
the support of a mother or sisters and
anv man who would steal from them Is
deserving of no sympathy and gets
none from me"
