GIT HE RECENTLY taken census
shows that there are 2IO1
more children OF school age
in FL Paso than last year." said super
intendent R ]. Tighe. This is import
ant in that it will mean an increase Of
about $4,000 in the appropriation OF
the state board for FL Paso schools
over the appropriation OF last year. We
hope with the additions to the school
buildings. to be able to accommodate
every school child Of school age. Of
course, as there is not a compulsory
education law in Texas, we cannot
hope to accommodate all who want to
go to school"

the report that Anaya was missing and
had probably been detained in Torreon

other women Of international repute
can return to their homes and take
in these dangerous and arduous tasks
in the cause of their country. it is as
little as American women can do to
wear for one season cotton clothes
made in America in order to avert
a great financial deadlock on which
depends mainly the prosperity Of our
great south.
1T has been said that no person
can live so that his life only affects
hin self, and so while this problem is
essentially the problem of the South
it affects the Northern section of our
country by eliminating $4O0,0O0,00
spent annually by Southern cotton
growers in the North.
1.-THE cotton factories of the coun-
try are at this time putting out only
about one-half of the materials that
they are equipped to turn out. The
reason for this is that the merchants
will not buy any more cotton ma
terials until they have sold what they
have on hand.
"All the women Of Europe, to meet
the crisis which they have had to
face. have gone in training for hos
pital and commercial service. If the
women Of America by using more
cotton can avert this crisis it is GER
tainly their patriotic duty to do So"
Many a man walks around and runs
risk at the same time.
