tionship between the people of FL Paso
I and the valley farmers BY doing this

greatest single benefits that the city
can secure
To the Women.
Speaking on the toast. ITO the
Women" Willard T. Holt. of Deming,
n. NJ, secretary of the Deming chamber
of commerce, said:
a wise philosopher once said that
We are a part of everything we meet
Ihat being true, what an American
beauty ] must be if 1 had lived only
Just tonight It might have been
brother philosopher who observed that
It would be good proposition in the
Olden time to See Rome and die but
with the modern application 7 would
change this sentiment to See EI PasO
and live
Woman didn't have exactly a square
deal. IN the modern sense of the term.
at the dawn of creation. God made
man in his own image, a little lower
than the angels, and then he made
woman, l suppose, because man was
mighty poor material to make angels of.
In this glorious climate the bloom
of youth is upon every cheek think
that is what You call it-and the spar
kle is in every 'eye. I love to see
women keep young and keep sweet.
1t is far better TO be like a young and
clipper little lark than to be a faded
bird of paradise.
1t is notable fact that the last
state to be admitted to the union was
the first to have woman to preside
over her state senate, not all the time,
you know, but just enough to get her
hand in for future generations.
TO the noble women Of America we
, owe more than 100 generations can
pay. Who but Jane Adams could have
founded Hull house? Who but Frances
Willard could have accomplished her
noble work in life? How could the
Red Cross bless the world today with
out our noble mothers, wives and
daughters?
Women of Ell Paso. I want to con-
graduate you upon living in a city
that has annual bank clearings of
SI8,OOO,O OO; 1 want to congratulate YOU
on living in city with splendid
churches and splendid schools, making
it one of the most livable cities on
the American continent. I want to
congratulate YOU for the aid you are
giving to the Made in FL Paso' move
ment 1t ought to be crime to live
in a community and not patronize home !
industries. I want to congratulate you |
because you live in a country a [ peace |
with all the world and satisfied with

angels of. and ! love to see that angel !
business commence at birth and end in !
eternity.

you on having husbands and brothers
wise and progressive enough to support !
