6LTTHE new traffic laws are prov
ing their worth in the reduc-
Il ton of the number of collisions
between street cars and automobiles"
said Alves Dixon During the year
1914. 50 percent of the accidents were
collisions with automobiles, averaging
10 a month. During the month of De-
cember alone We have recorded q col
isiOns During the month of January
there were but eight collisions and
four Of these occurred the first nine
days Of January before the traffic law
went into effect So far this month
there rave been no collisions The au-
tomObilists are regarding the traffic
laws well with the exception Of one,
that of stopping within 10 feet Of a
car while it is discharging passengers.
This is well regarded in the busy part
of town, but the drivers are little
careless OF it outside of the business
district 1t is a most important part OF
the traffic ordinance for the preven-
tiOn Of accidents and should be con-
scientiously followed out by every au-
t0mObile, or vehicle driver"
"El PasO is a wonderful city said
George p Harkins, of Philadelphia 1T
is a very prosperous city and, in many
respects. is superior to any in which L
have ever been. Take the charity work
1 have been in this work for number
of years and have never seen charity
under the 'migO ListO' organization
I have investigated this organization
thoroughly and have found that 1t dis
Denses charity I'm a thoroughly bust
nesslike way. Before receiving any
goods. of any kind. a family must be
able TO show that it is actually in need
And the organization is not, like many
others I have seen, giving out luXuries
necessities and are required TO keep
body and soul together.
sDspite the fact that there have been
many adverse conditions to work
against, the Laguna district has good
crop OF cotton this year said i. E
Dieguez. From the first the labor
situation has been the big stumbling
block. Not only was it difficult to Sc
cure sufficient men to tend the crop
but, when men could be mad they were
continually leaving to join the army
Few Of the old 'pacificOs, who have
tended the crop during the four years
of war are left. The rain was greater
this season than in years and lack OF
fuel was another big factor
Ell Paso viii receive fine advertising
from entertaining the numerous parties
that will pass through here on their
way to the fair, said Burt Orndor1t
zone of the principal means Of per-
manent advertising that win be under
taken viii be to supply all of the tour
lists with booklets on FL PasO. Persons

reading and digesting- The people who

deputy sheriff OF McLennan county
since the first of the year business

tural city dependent for its prosperity
upon conditions in the surrounding
country Crop prospects this year are
good and this, with gOOd crops last
year. is contributing TO the better con-
ditions in the city.
Every boy should be taught the art
of self defence" said Billy Smith. BY
this I don't mean that boys should
train to be prize fighters. But they
should know how to handle themselves
in a difficulty If more men knew the
are there would be fewer shootings and
less pistol tOting."
"The Ell Paso Equal Franchise league
is not organized to take any part in FL
PasO's present political fight said
Mrs. Charles DeGroff. The Equal Fran
chise league is organized to work for
woman's suffrage, to create a favorable
sentiment for WOmen's Suffrage in this
city and to band together all women
interested in this subject. 1t is not anti
ring organization. 1t is not a ring
organization. It has no partisan po-
HucaN association or connection, nor

to its purpose of working for equal
franchise"
