to me and said: It is always the niue
things that make people happy not

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's appearance

"Federals at Torreon will probably
make a stand at LerdO and Gomez
Palacio' said DR.. Howard p Deady'
who was formerly practlclng, phySl-
clan in the COahuila town. AT Ine

fend these towns and the result was
that the rebels had an equal adVan-
tage with the federals in the 1lghJlng'
for both were fighting from houses
and from behind adobe walls. be

at IS certainly surprising to note
the real business aCumen that news
bows develop said c. ". Marshall.
Starting out when they are young, OF
course they are little green, but II
is not long before they get onto the
ropes and are doinC a rushing business
with their papers. You VIII notlce
those boys who have been in the bust
ness awhile grab their papers as soon
as they can get them and rush down
make quicker sales. Those boys who
wait until the other boys have been
on the street awhile have trouble DIS

'The day is coming, if it is not al
ready here" said Tom Lea, when the
valley farmer is going to be recognized
as a highly important factor in the
upbuilding of FL PasO and her con
tiguOus territory. The real Importance
of the valley farmer viii be recognized
when the Elephant Butte project is
completed and the waters from that
reservoir turn the valley into garden
spot. I have a little farm down the
valley Just 3 miles. The journey is
a nice automobile trip. Every time

City is getting ready for its 14th an
nual trade excursion" said Claiborne
Adams. This is pretty fair indi-
cation that the Oklahoma business men
consider a trade excursion good thing
for their business. The FL PasOans
who went to the cattlemen's cOnyen-

goth infantry. "Only today 1 received a |
clipping from a Philadelphia paper |
which had the full account of the re-
ported attempted escape, even to the |
killing of two MeXicans which was |

was true, it would not be the best |
thing to publish broadcast. But to !
have a palpable fake like that sent out
