CG~ HIS lunch counter at the High
school is certainly a success"
Il said S. o. Welday, who pre-
sides over the public speaking classes
If the High school 1t IS mighty
nice TO have a cup of good not coffee
and a nice lunch, and think 1t is
going to prove good thing Tor all Of
rs The lunch counter has sold out
every day since it was inaugurated."

AN arc light at the end of the Ari-
iona street car line on Golden Hill
would be a welcome thing to the peO-
pie who reside in that neighbOrhood,"
said NJ. H. MacCallum- Since our
very unwelcOme Golden Hill bandit
has performed his operations on the
street car conductors cash accounts,
people who live on the streets beyond
the car terminal are going out OF their
way at night by taking other courses
to their homes, preterrlng this TO the
possible indignity of being held up on
that long dark stretch of street"

There is a whole lot to be learned
from the comics in the Herald" said
Geo. L Grover, who is in town from
Cooks, n. NJ, on mining business
Take Happy HOOligan, for instance. 1t
looks kind of foolish at first, but
when you study it out, he teaches you
that you should mind your own bust
ness and not be forever meddling in
other peoples affairs"
This is the first time I have been
able TO take my coat off and work
comfortably" said W. A Z. Woods
who has returned from California. Il
visited all along the California coast
and 1 did not find any such weather
as we have here in Ell PasO. This city
IS IN better financial condition than
those on the Pacific coast and pros
poets look a great deal better here
than they did out there"
Il don't think Villa viii have much
of fight to capture TOrreOn," said
John Reed, magazine writer, who has
returned to FL PasO after six weeks
spent with rebel forces around Tor
reOn. There We're only 5000 federaIs
IN TOrreOn and vicinity when I left
Escalon ten days ago. CaraveO had
arrived, but OrozcO was not there.
Just before 1 left, a federal command
of 500 men made a SOrtie to the west
about Is miles and surprised a rebel
command of less than so men. The
rebels held a mountain pass Ten of
the group stayed behind to hold off
the federals, while the rest retreated.
Every one of the ten was killed, but
the others got away safely. Those are
the kind of fighters Villa is going to
invest TorreOn with"

My men have handled a difficult
situation at Preside Well" said major
NJ NJ. NIcNamee, of the 18th cavalry
when he arrived from Preside Wed
neSday evening. I'VE had an army OF
/ almost 1000 thrown on US over night
and had to feed, care for and guard

I them belongs the major share of the
credit for the way things were handled
