-" L PASOS new county hospital
will be a modern institution,
IL operated in a sanitary and
businesslil1e way, when we are ali. set
tled,7 said DR.. G. n. Thomas, county
physician. 1.-The building is a splendid
one for the care of the county's patients
and the equipment, what has been in
stalled. is the most modern that can be
purchased. While the county has been
most liberal with its appropriations
for the necessities. it has made no al
lOwance for the little touches which
are needed in any hospital in order to
, make the patients feel at home Miss
Black, the superintendent, is one of the
most efficient professional nurses in
the southwest and she is doing every
thing she can to make the hospital at
tractive. But if the people of the city
would lend a little Of the broad charity
which has been shown so often here
and aid us in making the new hospital
attractive to its inmates, they and the
board would appreciate it. Pictures,
potted flowers, a few bright rugs and
books and magazines would be apprc-
ciated and would make some PERSONS
life a little brighter"
"Of the thousands who viii pass
through this city on their way to the
exposition at san Francisco fully 90
600 viii actually stop over and see the
city" said T. L. Graves. at least that
number viii make the trip. going or re-
turning, in special cars or special
trains. BY its prompt action in arrang-
ing for entertainments for the visitors
and the distribution Of literature, the
chamber of commerce has secured some
excellent advertising for the city The
passengers are the customers and we
have the goods to show them and no
good merchant asks for more Of an aD-
portunity to have his customers right
on the ground where he can show them
his stock. In my opinion FL Paso is
going to gain about as much advan-
tage out of the exposition as any city
on the coast"
1.-THE Zapatistas and Carrancistas in
the vicinity of Mexico City don't seem
to show much hostility to each other,
said Marley F. Lander. Il left the
capital recently and at that time the
Zapatistas were almost into the city
proper They did not make any Of
fensive move and neither did the the
Carrancistas. Both sides would oc-
castonally exchange shots but neither
took the trouble to dislodge the other.
1t gave foreigner a rather queer sem
satlOn to go OUT into the suburbs and
come across hostile force or dodge a
small raiding party. 1t is as if a band
in Highland Park here and then retire
to the foothills back of the Country
club, while the troops stationed ins
say Pioneer plaza, paid not the slight
est attention to the raid

The quick action of Ell Paso county
representatives in the state legislature
in securing the passage of the law Gre
ating the 65th district court is greatly
appreciated by the judiciary and the
bar of the county" said judge Dan n.
jackson, of the 34th district court
The dockets of both the 41st and 34th
district courts are greatly overcrowded !
and the new court, authorized to try
both criminal and civil cases. win
greatly relieve the eongested condition
and expedite the work Of all the
courts"
Conditions are very good in the Mid
land district" said L. c. Major, of Mid
land. Midland has always been a
good community, although not much
noise is made about it At one time
the town had the reputation of being
the wealthiest, in proportion to popu-
latton, of any community in the state.
The country surrounding is devoted
largely to cattle, although the agri-
cultural interests are developing. The
introduction Of irrigation, with wells
operated by pumps, is helping to de-
velop the country agr'eulturaliy."
Ignorance is not purity" said Capt
Mary Evans, matrOn of the Rescue
home. Too many parents seem 10
think that it is and here they make
their greatest mistake with their
daughters There are certain truths
that every girl should know for her
own protection and her mother is the
person who should give her this in
formation. Ignorance causes a big part
of the trouble that is blamed to vice
alone"
