- FOUNTAIN PARK produces the

"
\ Il of the country" said George
Halle, formerly of FL Paso, but now
a successful farmer in the Sacramento
mountains of New Mexico. Situated as
it is, in the mountains, protected on all
sides. conditions are ideal for producing
a sweet and richly cOlOred apple that
commands fancy prices in this market.
The producers in the park were very
successful last year and good prices
have been received for all the apples
grown The altitude of the park ranges
from 6000 to 1000 feet and the only
danger to the trees is late frost IN
the spring The climate of the park is
ideal The surrounding mountains
break the winds and it is always calm
in the valley Hence the cold is not felt
so keenly as it is in the wide valleys
x
mo better indication of the stability
and growth of FL PasO is to be had than
the upbuilding of the southern part of
the city" said G. A frost. Land that
has lain idle for years is being i'm
proved with substantial business blocks
This shows that the owners are conf
dent of the growth Of the city and are
willing to back their judgment with
substantial investments. The indica-
lions for a widespread growth for 1915
are excellent both north and south of
the tracks. The northern part Of the
city, of course, is bound to rapidly
build up on account of the great de-
the southern part is one of the health
lest signs that has ever been mani
Tested in the growth of FL Paso."

Suicide takes many different forms,
but 1 recently witnessed a suicide in
Mexico City where the victim simply
shouted" said Harvey LangdOn, of
Mexico City. 1T was at the time the
Carranza troops were entering the city
and the situation was tense. The un-
conscious suicide was much the worse
for drink and probably did not realize
that between the time he started on
the spree and the time he was fully
under the influence, the government Of
the capital of Mexico had undergone a
complete change He saw a large body
of troops marching down the street and.
just to be sOciable, shouted Viva Villa
at the top of his voice He might just
as well have put his head down a can
mons mouth and pulled the trigger. He
was shot down before he could make
a move"
