Hints For a City Beautiful

beautiful city attracts home makers. FL Paso has
natural advantages superior to many Of those Cali
fornia Colorado, Oregon, and Washington cities Of
which the whole country hears much. Fl Paso has
climate unequaled by that Of any other city Of Its
size or larger in the United States This city has an
abundant supply OF pure water. 1t has surrounding
scenery that presents great possibilities for the
tension of pleasure drives. It has central location
and fine railroad facilities It enjoys the best
tainmeats. 1t has a large army post, which always
stimulates social life
OF old It used to be said that Nothing Will grow
here" This tune has been changed to a and
one, that Anything will grow here" One walking
driving about the city invariably surpused-nO mat
ter well Informed he thought he was-when he
the variety and prcfusOn of flowers poisoning every
where and the fine perfection Of verdure in lawns and
trees.
But e Paso has never yet quite grasped the fact
that 1t is within her power to make herself Of
the most beautiful Of home cities the continent Too
much Of our improvement work has been scrappy and
not conforming to well thought plans Our efforts
connected continuous persistent Individuals
have done MUCH the city government has done much,
but far there has been little efectua coopera
ton and the result is that FL Paso has many barren
and ugly streets and open spaces which might easily
and cheaply be improved and made beautiful
The most important item in any campaign for a
Getty beautiful" is the thorough extension Of wide
street parking Nothing do IN the way Of
public parks private planting quite take the
place Of miles and miles Of green and owery Pathways
bordering all the residence streets
is this feature that distinguishes those cities
that travellers comment upon with enthusiasm. With
the general adoption of well kept wide pathways under
municipal supervision and control planted with uni
form trees well watered and trimmed and gorgeous
with flowers, will the gradual extinction of the
picket fence FL PasO will become, as a whole, one
vast park. 1t can be done. Why postpone it?

NEW WELLS To BE SUNK

many wells will be sunk. but probably
not as many as was originally con-
templated. for the reason that several
or the existing wells are now produc-
ing a greater flow by reason Of i'm

Some of the wells have been cleaned

some a leakage in the air chamber was

LET THINK so well OF FL Paso that
1 am seriously considering win
tering here next year. said Al c.
Barnes. owner Of the Al G. Barnes wild
animal circus. This year we are going
to Venice or san Diego. The fair is to
be kept open another year and we have
been made a very flattering offer TO
put our show on the zone as a part Of
the fair Two years ago I was in cor
respOndence with the chamber Of COM
merce about coming here TO winter as
the climate and other conditions are
just what I want for my shows There
are two things which / need before
20 TO a place to winter one is an as
surance that I will not be taxed to
death by the city officials / am sure
that would not be the case here Ny
friend. Capt. Greet. has assured me that
We would be met more than half way in
/ this matter. Another need is OF ample
protection for my men as we cannot be
constantly mOlesteG by petty officials
because we happen to be circus men
We want the good viii OF the people
Of a city before we decide to winter
there and. from what I have seen of
FL Paso and judging by her people, I
would like to make this my permanent
winter quarters. on the day our show
closes we paw out $4,000 in salaries
and 'hOldouts-' In addition we pay out
$4,000 or more through the winter for
labor painting on our wagons, repairs
10 our equipment and wardrobes- The
cost of feed for our animals is another
big item and we would easily leave
100000 in Fl Paso should we decide to
winter here"
The horse show for this year is go
ing TO be better than ever before. we
believe" said Carl A Beers There
has been an increasing interest taken
by the FL PasO people, as well as the
army people, in the horse show every
year and from the interest already
manifested in the show its success is
certain In having the show two days
instead Of one II will enable each day.s

The Approach Of Christmas

With only so weekdays intervening between now
and Christmas II is not surprising that do your
Christmas shopping early" campaign is already well
under way In fact there have been Christmas adver-
tiSements in the papers for many weeks. This move
ment which was begun in earnest only few years
ago. has been good thing for the people generally,
as well as for the merchants the manufacturers the
the railroads. It has had marked tendency to slim
uate buying while at the same time to lessen very
greatly the strain that formerly marked the last few
days and weeks before the great annual holiday.
Like the safety first" campaign and the "Sane
Fourth" has been due largely to efforts the
daily newspaper press that the Christmas shopping
has been kept before the public to the point
of nsuring its In this incessant hammering
away the "Shop early" theme, the newspapers have
performed real and widespread and lasting service
to the whole public, but especially to all the workers
whose tasks used to become more and intense
and arduous as Christmas approached. Nowadays the
last few days before Christmas apt to be almost dull
in the stores but that does indicate that has
been lax; in fact the stores often find their special Holt
day stocks almost exhausted by that time.
It IS timely right to begin reminding the people
Of the approach of the holidays. Business men
will find It to their advantage to anticipate much of
the holiday rush by performing multitude of necessary
tasks before the rush begins. The public will gain
advantage by looking stocks, making gift lists
and plans, and shopping day by day in accord with
established program, that the last few days
weeks Of the year be used in taking up the slack,
catching up the loose ends, and forwarding the gifts
that have been previously purchased.
What applies to the merchants applies also to such
establishments print shops and photograph studios
patrons if ample time be allowed on holiday work.

One day when the administrative

was stormy meeting of the cabinet
that lasted for an hour or more. The
legend goes that when the meeting
adjourned, Mr.. Cobb, secretary of
the treasury, was asked what the row
was about. "Oh, nothing" he re-
piled, "only old Buck was trying to
be against the administration"
Doubtless nothing of the kind ever
occurred, but it made a rather
good story for the newspapers and
