unravelIing of q knot that Cupid mao
tied" declared R. NJ Reed. I was
representing a woman in Torreon IN
a suit for a divorce. Her HUSBAND
was here. I prepared and sent the
wife a waiver of service She signed
and mailed the waiver out OF Torreon
on last July II. I received 1t last
December 81 In the meantime the
divorce had been secured. Notice of
the suit had been published IN the
newspaper. However, the woman
showed her faith in the matter and
secured the divorce.
cit seems to me" said Lamar
Smith, legal representative Of the q.
H. road at Del Rio, Texas, who was
in Ell Paso on a business trip, that
there is an air Of greater prosperity
in Ell PasO than in any other Texas
city 7 have been in You can feel II
dence of it. With Mexican conditions
restored to their normal state, FL
Paso is destined to be one of the lead
ing, if not the foremost city, in the
state"
DO you know that you can't buy
coal oil from a grocery store IN El
Paso after dark?'' says Horace Stew
buy some coal oil for the rear lamp
of my automobile at a well known
grocery store and was informed that
it couldn't be sold after nightfau. /
asked the clerk why and he said some
thing about city ordinance prohibit
ing it. He didn't seem to understand
Just exactly what the ordinance pro-
hibited, but I know that I didn't get
the gasoline.
There will be no hand to hand
fighting with the bayonet at Ojinaga
under any circumstances" says a cap
tain in the rebel army at Juarez.
1.-THE reason is simple. Very few OF
the rifles carried by our men are
equipped with the bayonet and the
enemy is in practically the same con-
ditiOn. But there probably viii be
some close encounters. Knives have
been used before now in the present
revolution, and our men certainly
know how to handle Them
Even the ground that Ell Paso rests
upon is worth real money" said W.
c. Porter, as he passed along Prospect
avenue where the Mexican Workmen
were eXcaVating for a sidewalk. DO
you know that this strata OF sand
which underlies the street, is worth
81 "a load and that there are tons and
tons of it under each lot2 Well, it is,
and these property owners are due
to make enough off the sand they have
taken out of here to make substan-
tiaI payment on the new sidewalks.
Then the gravel is also salable and
in demand for concrete and sidewalk
work"
'aThis go to church movement is
causing me TO lay aside all Of my reg
ular work" said Rev. P. J. Rice Sun
day But believe the movement is
a good one, and it will result in much
good. AS mayor Kelly said at the
luncheon, all those we get to go to
church will not have to be sent to the
penitentiary. This move to fill the
churches instead of the penitentiaries
is a nationwide one and I believe that
it will result in many people attending
church regularly, who have not been
going for years No special church,
no special services or special offerings
are being urged. The regular weekly
service viii be held in each church
and a man may go where he will so
long as he Obeys the slogan and goes
to church on Sunday"
