ALTA VISTA
It's long way to Alta vista,

It's a long way to Alta Vista
and the jitne cars are slow.
Goodbye to Pioneer Plaza,
Farewell to Cleveland Square.
Its long, long way to Alta VISTA
But my homes out there.

6LD USINESS men of Ell Paso ana
Ell Pasoans generally should
realize that the Made in Ell
Paso Week exhibition will be first
class in every detail said NJ. P. Car
lock. THE exhibit will not be one OF
the best but the very best of any kind
/ that has ever been shown in this sec
ton There will be no haphazard or
cheap exhibits of any kind. Each firm
exhibiting will show its very best
product and the arrangements for the
exhibition assure every exhibitor the
very best possible advantages for snow
ing his goods. Everyone in FL Paso
and many out Of town persons Will see
the big exhibition and there is not
business man in this city who will not
derive hundred times more bene1lI
from making an exhibit than the cost
incidental to making it will be"

Conditions in the local cattle trade
have been showing a decided better
ment," said F. l. Pitman. ut is eX-
pected, of course, that there will be
general betterment in financial condi-
tons in all lines after the first Of the
year. but the cattle has already begun
to respond to the big demand for good
cattle. There are more buyers in FL
Paso at this time than at any time
since the outbreak of the European
war. Prices, Of course, showed de-
cline during the first months Of the
war but all things considered, they
are now holding up very well"
"I firmly believe that the Mexican
trouble is going to result in permanent
benefit to Ell Paso," said R Silberberg.
For years I have preached to our
business men the great good that would
result from a strong effort to extend
trade lines in Mexico. Now it seems
to be coming through the trouble that
that country is experiencing. Since
the trouble started Ell PasO has been
the mecca of thousands Of refugees
/ These people have now seen FL PasO
know her markets and, when peace is
restored, they will go back with
knowledge that this city can supply
their wants. While here they are
learning that the United States is not
seeking to take their country and q
friendly feeling is developing that will
be of lasting benefit to the business
men of this city. Much of the future
development Of FL PasO will come as a
/ result of our enlarged markets in
Mexico"
"The county commissioners recently
! visited our Rescue Home and expressed
themselves as more than pleased with
the home and the way it was being
conducted" said Mrs. Thomas A Pitt
of the Salvation Army. THE sum that
is allotted by the county for the caring
for prisoners in the Jail and the cost
for caring for girls in our rescue home
is the same, about 40 cents a day, yet
what a world Of difference there is
in the result"
I'VE want the women Of Ell Paso to
! use the down town rooms of the Young
| Women's Christian association more
| thaufthey do" said Miss Gail Lane, the
! general secretary of the association.
THE rest room is there to serve the
J women of the city whether they wish
! to lie down for a short rest, or wish to
/ use the reading table with its maya
/ zines and books or the writing table"
There has been a notable decrease
| in carrying Of pistols and other
| weapons in Ell PasO during the past
/ month said deputy sheriff Stanley
/ Good. ST. And C. ". Groom, the pres
! ent county attorney, deserves the credit
. for it Mr.. Groom has prosecuted
! charges of carrying concealed weapons
so vigorously that during the past two
I months he has secured no less than 80
/ convictions. And every one Of these
! convictions carries, at the very least
! a fine of 800. Ell Pasoans have begun
! to realize thar 1t does not pay to carry
I a six shooter without license if it is
going to cost 500 or more for doing so
! This cutting down the number OF
! weapons also tended to decrease the
| number of shootings. A man who car
| ries a six shooter drinks a little toe
! much at some time and, not fully real
izing what he is doing. is liable to draw
his gun and begin shooting Such af-
/ fairs will be almost eliminated in Fl
| Paso as they are elsewhere as soon as
