-PASO is going to be a lonely
place this summer if con-
A.. ditions resume the nor
mol in northern Mexico" said
lack Egan. Mexican manager for
the Wells Fargo Express company,
,rbo Is here. All of the people who
have been here for the winter will re-
turn to their homes and resume their
business affairs in Mexico. Ell Paso has
been fortunate in having the best class
- Kr1erica0 and Mexican refugees and
Won are going to feel it when they
go back
Although the people may not pe
oDite as quick as we might wish IN
coming forward with the contrIbu-
lions for the founding Of the much
needed rescue home said Mrs. 1nOIuaS
A Pitt, president OF the rescue nome
organization, we are receiving con
slant help and encouragement. People,
as they become Interested, are respond
ing willingly. The baseball teams have
promised the fund a benefit game, and
the unions have shown splendid sym
nathy with the idea and have promised
TO help in the obstruction OF the build
ING. so we are encouraged very much.
We need the rescue home. There are
so many cases when a girl first falls,
that if there was a place where she
could be taken care of and trained for
a while, she would be able 70 regain
her place in the world. AS it is now
there is little for them but TO continue
on the downward path"

when a man stops to consider the
growth of Ell Paso it is nothing short
of wonderful" said J. W. Brown. 1T
seems but a few short years ago when
we had the mule cars and streets that
were in mighty poor condition, Today
we have the best paved streets Of
any city in the country and more are
being laid. People may wonder how
it is that FL PasO continues to grow
every year. but the fact remains that
population. Homes are springing up
over night. To me the greatest feature
about FL PasO is that it is a real home
city. I believe that more people own
their home in FL PasO than those in
any other city. FL Pasoans are boost
ers, that is one of the many reasons
why the city continues to grow. 1t
is fast becoming the only cattle cen
visitor who comes here who is not
impressed with the city. They go away
and talk about it. This brings people
here. With conditions finally settled
in Mexico, Ell PasO is going to estab-
lish a new precedent in the building
line. In spite Of the revolutions in
Mexico the city has continued to forge
ahead, which shows the city cannot
be held back"

Being a verse writer is not as easy
as it looks" said w. J. Byrnes, the
statehood poet of New Mexico who is
now living in FL PasO. THE news
papers at Albuquerque asked me to
write verses for their statehood edi-
lions and also for postcard day in New
Mexico, when everyone sent postcard
back home boosting New Mexico. To
write when in the mood is easy, but
to have to write verse to order is a
little difficult I enjoy doing it though
and intend to put some serious effect
into my work of verse writing am
not pOet-and will try some local
topics when I do"
It have visited cities in Washington,
Nevada, Montana, Arizona and New
Mexico, but I never saw a city where
there was so much building going on
as there is in FL Paso," said DR.. Y. A.
Young, of Denver, Colo. president Of
the Fraternal Union of America. There
is every evidence of prosperity in FL
Paso, If the building activity is to be
taken for an indication. 7 accept that
as an evidence. FL PasO is a wonder
ful city. It is the greatest little city
OF Its size in the entire country. Why,
the Masonic temple here beats any
thing in Denver and the most Won
derful part about it is the fact that it
IS paid for. I had intended to leave
for my return trip home Saturday
morning, but I like FL Paso so well
that I am going to remain until Sat
urday night"
