the attempted robbery on Prospect aV-

get car at once and travelling at
high rate Of speed the officers managed
to reach the scene in time to discover

"As a rule the younger football play
ers are the hardest to Officiate for,
said David Crockett. But I have no
ticed that in the games at Washington
park this year the younger element
has been by far the easier to deal with
than the older fellows. Take, for IN
stance, the games last Saturday. In
the first game the officials had very
little to do and when they did infllcu
a penalty it was received without the
semblance of a grumble. The second
protests were made on decisions and
besides the officials had their hands
full preventing rough play and putting
a stop to incipient little scraps.

given by the upper grade school chill
dren should have been heard by every

high school is built with its large au-
ditorium these opera programs may be

the men that can bear arms" said
Rodolfo Schommer, German vice con-
sui at Durango, who has just returned
from an extended trip through Ger
many. Germans living in foreign
countries have not been asked to come
back. Not only is Germany in no way
pushed for soldiers, but she has not in
any way taxed her resources. Food
stuffs are cheap and plentiful The
country is in a position to carry on the
war Indefinitely. In no country, eth
er at this time or in previous wars, mas
more splendid enthusiasm been bee
shown. Through every grade OF socle-
ty, Germany is now united and the
front offered is solid one
Now that the west coast railroad
has been opened as far as NavajOa the
threatened famine OH the west coast
has been avdrted." said Harrison c.
Fenwick For time il appeared that
great suffering could not be averted,
as not only were the crops very short,
but Independent bands were continually
cutting communication. Now, however,
and large quantities Of fOOdstuffs have
been sent to the threatened districts.
The west coast country has suffered
much and, even with peace, it will take
years to bring it back to its former
prosperity"
The fruit and vegetable exhibit at
| the chamber of commerce Is one that
every Ell PasOan should see, said
George LIE Baron. 1T is one of the
finest exhibits have ever seen. Few
Ell Pasoans realize the wonderful va
riety of fruit and vegetables that is
produced in the valleys of the Rio

some Of the largest I have ever seen

ing them should not miss the opportu-
nifty of taking them to the chamber OF
commerce to see the exhibit"
