The Ell Paso Way

The action of Ell PasO's university Of Michigan men
setting the pace for the whole United States IN their
response to the call for community house at Ann
Arbor only goes to add proof to the well recognized
fact that FL Paso is made up Of just such people II
every line. That is Why FL Paso is What she is
There is a snap and swing about the most ordinary
life in FL Paso that is noted by every visitor Every
worthy project public private, is taken up with
enthusiasm drive goes into every effort the city
and its people make
When FL Paso goes after anything, she gets it..
FL Paso does not essay the impractical but always
sticks close to safe working lines. The city is content
not satsfied-happy in its achievements but
ready sit down and let things take their course.
The whole southwest takes inspiration from FL PasO.
This city the real leader of the cities The neghbOrs
come here to get sniff of air that is electric with
deeds FL PasO has high ambitions but not too high
to admit of realization.
There is ginger and pep in FL Pasoans, enough to
spare to the neighbOrs occasion Such spirit
IS Infectious and that is reason Why those who
visit often remain to make their permanent
homes. city like FL Paso grows in ways it hardly

Wide Awake Communities

most hopeful sign in the steady growth of FL PasO
is found IN the organizing Of neighboThood
societies The object of these associations is always
public improvement They are the expression of a
strong desire on the part Of FL Paso home makers
especially IN the subdivisions to bring about
betterments IN streets, pavemens parks supply
schools, and all the various activities of pleasant and
profitable community life.
In the eastern part Of the city suburbs there are
number of these neghbOrhood associations which have
already done great deal improve their neghborhOods
They have actively urged better school facilities, and
have obtained them They have promoted bond issues
for special districts for improvement purposes They
have had good deal to say about the various municipal
services The collective voice of taxpayers and residents
IN the various districts has made itself heard
Now the mayor, the president Of the school board
and other city officials about to inaugurate
a novel and most commendable plan for getting into
closer touch with the people They viii visit the various
districts where such community organizations exist and
talk the special problems with the people there In
this way there will be opportunity for everybody to
obtain q hearing, and the people will also receive
clearer idea Of of the problems of municipal govern
ment.
The plan is one that ought to be extended all over
the cty-in the business as well the residence
tons.

Of this years crop the United States supplies nearly
onefourth of the worlds yield, did last year also
In the previous years the United States produced nearer
one-fifth of the worlds supply. The United States
crop this year breaks all records.
The yield in France is slightly below normal, as it
is also in Of the smaller countries; but in most
of the begeIent countries the yield is actually above
