"A ering the western half of the
country, including the north
( west, found El Paso the city with the
! best opportunities and the greatest fu-
ture, and located here said II. u. Stat
ford. Next to FL Paso was Tulsa,
Okla, where the development Of the
oil fields was causing a boom. Several
: of the smaller towns in the northwest
seemed to offer some opportunities for
a lawyer, but [ found the Pacific coast

"The playground and recreation sys-
tenn, to be financed through the CO.
operation of the city and the board Of
education, will result in great benefit
to the children of FL PasO," said H. r.
McClintock Aside from the great
benefits to the children, offering recre-
alton through the healthiest of cham
nels. it will have the effect of keeping
boys off the street and away from the
dangers of automobiles and other We
hicles. Children must play, and if there
are no Fairgrounds they will play in
the street I have heard of two cases
within a few months where boys were
seriously injured while playing in the
street. Their lives are too precious to
be endangered in that way, and the
public Fairgrounds will, in my opinion,
go a long way towards taking the boys
from the street.
'If there was ever man who loved
his work it is J. 4. Smith, the retiring
postmaster" said NJ. J.. BUrlesOn, as
sistant postmaster "He liked the con
tact with the public which came to him
in handling the mail and in landing lost
letters. He would never consent to hay
ing a private office, as he wished to be
where the public could get to him easily
he devoted his time to the good of the
service and went out of office with the
good will of every clerk, carrier and
other employe of the office as well as
the public
eff it had been thought of in time, Ell
PasO could have secured lot of ad-
vertising by sending the high school
basketball team to the big tournament
at san Francisco" says sheriff Peyton
Edwards Besides, we could nave
shown eur appreciation Of the fine work
the boys have been doing. Clean attn
letics do wonders for youngsters, and
we must never forget that the young
sters are our coming men. L believe
the FL PasO team viii hold its own with
any basketball team in America.

'I started in the fruit business mere

"Tt seems mysterious to me that ali
automobile accidents occur while the
machines are being driven at eight or
10 miles an hour" said l. J. frost AT
least all the testimony of drivers in
volved in accidents would so Indicate
1t would appear that il is safer to drive
cars at a high rate Of speed. Most peo-
pie drive cars as fast as 40 or so miles
an hour but they seem to slow up when
they are going to have an accident.

at is a mistake for city TO allow
it's approaches to be ugly and insight {
W. said Rev. Perry J. Rice. The first I
Impression a stranger gains of city /
is when he is approaching it. Too Of :
ten. i'm the majority of cities. the ap- (
proaches are the extreme Of ugliness Z
The trouble may lie in the fact that 4
most cities are not planned at first :
they simply grow up undirected."
