I only get to work, write their senators
/ from Texas and urge the passage Of
! this measure for the relief of the chill
: dren who have been forced to work
/ in the mills and factories of the Coun-
try" said Or. Paul Gallagher I have
! had a message from the national child
| labor committee which is working Tor
! the passage of the measure and this
| committee urges everyone interested IN
the bill to start to work at once and
urge the Texas and any other senators
I they may know, to vote and work 1Or
the passage OF the measure. My tele-
: gram said the committee on interstate
commerce has reported favOrably on
| the Palmer-OWen child labor bill and
! that it had a fine chance Of passing,
if the people would only back 1t up by
| writing to their senators. The bill now
I pending would save 100000 factory
children from premature employment
and overwork. 1t represents a majority
of states and will be one of the big
gest pieces of legislation that is passed
by the present congress if it becomes
a law"
After a trip of one year, during
which time 1 visited practically every
state in the union, 1 am glad to be
back in FL PasO," said j. II. McMahon.
1 In my opinion, the country surround
ing FL Paso and Arizona are the best
parts of the United States in which to
live. 1 was quite impressed with Mon
tana, especially the towns. In those
places there is pie ty of water for
( irrigation and for flushing the streets
and the result is that the Montana
towns are very clean. 1t would cost
large amount of money. / suppose to
devise a system for flushing the streets
in Ell Paso, but it would be a fine
thing to get rid of dirt that accumu-
lates in the CUTTERS

Vanced to meet changed conditions and

who is at the Sheldon. Our party had
a beautiful trip to El PasO and we
hope to have good roads all the way
TO the coast. We are using a new White
seven passenger touring car and it is
a dandy. We like the car but not the
man who sold il to US for we are still
looking for some of the promised
equipment. We found some muddy
roads for a couple of hundred miles
out OF Dallas but after that they were
fine On Sunday, we made the final
~ miles into Ell Paso in seven hours
and we didn't have to lose any traffic

Ell Paso athletes viii compete
against the athletic teams of all the
y. VI. c. AS in the country in the
national HeXathlOn, which starts next
Monday" said A. l. Holmes. physical
director of the \. NJ. C.. A. Scores of
each meet are sent into New York and
the winners determined there from
the time, or distance, recorded by the
winners at each association. 1t will
naturally be necessary to keep very
close record of the time made in each
race. A point system has been worked
Out Ior each time or distance. Several
OF our mem are breaking southwestern
records every night"
Conditions in the Amarillo district
are excellent" said W. H CarwiIe, of
Amarillo, Tex. with a mild winter
and good grass, the stockmen have
prospered and this has naturally had
its good effect upon the business OF
the city
The consolidation of the Panhandle /
& Southwestern StOckmens and the
Texas Cattle Raiser's association would
be one Of great advantage to the cat
tlemen OF the southwest" said A NJ
j ames, Of Dalhart Conditions in the
cattle industry are undergoing a con-
slant change and, for cattlemen OF this
section to enjoy all the privileges and
advantages they are entitled to, they
must present a united front in asking
a md ~, N.,-s
that affect the welfare of the cattle
men. Aside from the obvious advant-
ages in greatly reducing expenses and (
in rendering the united association far I
more efficient, there is the point that /
a measure backed by a combined as

than one backed by the two organiza-

opposed by the other. From almost any
