II lv. of the Esd infantry, now Of
the quartcrmaster's corps. 1T has been
several years since was here, not
since the Madero revolution when my
battalion was called upon to guard the
international bridge, and WonderIul
improvements have been made since
that time They were raziug the old
buildings preparatory to the construc-
tiOn of the Paso del N0rte when
left. I didn't know that corner when I
saw it again. You can say that none
of my friends do 7 prize more highly
than those whom I knew while here
When the commanding officer at Co
lumbus barracks, short time ago,
asked me- if 1 wished to make the trip
to Naco with the recruits, ] jumped at
the chance of being ablepto visit FL
Paso again
IT have a warm spot in my heart
for the country boys that are brought
before me- said recorder Ballard Cold
well. -'Of course some of them are bad
ones but most of them are pretty
straight boys and are deserving OF
considerable They are down on their
luck. or they are just out seeing the
world, but they are not crooks

eel Pasoans do not appreciate the
advantages they have in the hot wells
near Sierra Blanca" said Charles Per-
ring Il have just returned from there
much benefited by the baths and am
certain that the mineral water to be
found there has strong medicinal pow
err It is right here in El Paso county
and is not far from FL PasO. I had
never heard of it until friend recon-
mended the baths to me as a cure for
rheumatism. I went there for several
weeks and came hack so much inn
proved that I intend to go back there
soon. Many people were there taking
the baths and all seemed improved The
hotel facilities are good and the meals
are excellent and it is a convenient and
economical place to go for mineral

1.-THE chamber Of commerce has made
n splendid showing during the year
and has obtained substantial and tan
gible results" said c. S. T. Folsom.
1T is a surprise to me, however, how
ali this work has been done on such
limited membership. In many of the
California cities of about this size
not half the good is done, although the
membership of the chambers of COM
merce runs up into the thousands. The
plan of starting a membership cam
paign is an excellent one and there is
no reason why a membership OF at
least 5000 should not be secured in a
live city Of this kind"
The drop in Mexican fiat money has
made travel in the republic cheap,
cases the old standard Of prices is
charged For instance. the fare from
Juarez to Mexico City used to be about
sc pesos. This was on the old two for
one basis. which is now about seven
for one basis. In gold. the fare all the
way from the border to Mexico City is
a little more than 50. The reduction in
the rate, however, is made up by the
service, which is uncertain, to say the
least"
Every young person should start
savings account said James Freder-
icl5 Hatcher. of Denver. Il do think
that every older person should impress
upon the young men and women the
value Of saving some sum each week.
So many young people start out TO
save, then become discouraged and
stop, or else they save aimlessly. put
ting aside whatever sum they may
have left over at the end of the month.
a good plan is to make out a budget
for ones monthly expenses. like a bust
ness firm would do. Include in this
definite sum to be deposited each week
or each month. Even if the amount is
ii. There is nothing that can make
person independent like a bank ac-
count"
"The next symphony orchestra con-
cert will be Dvorak's World Sympho-
NY " said II. E. Van Surdam. LAS this
symphony is of considerable length. it
is probable that the orchestra viii de-
vote the entire program to this and
have no other numbers. il will be one
Of the most ambitious programs yet at
tempted by the orchestra"

Since my last visit TO FL Paso. quite
some time ago, I have visited almost
every city Of any importance in the
north aud east" said J. S. Douglas, Of
Douglas. Ariz., "aDd am glad to see
city in the condition which FL Paso is
in. Every one of the cities which ]
visited were in very poor financial
condition, owing, according to the
merchants, to the European war FL
Paso, on the other hand. has appar-
emily improved instead OF going back.
