He used to play the horses,
That was all.
Had a tip at all the courses
For a haul
He used to Play the horses till he used
up his resources,
Now he knows just what remorse is
That is all,
-" HE new high school building
which EI Paso is going to start
Il shortly and complete as funds
become available, will be one of the
city's greatest assets" said F. B. Sim
mons, president OF the school board.
when you consider that for hundreds
of miles in every direction from ii
PasO, there is no community with COM
plete high school facilities, you can
understand that our high school, as 1t
will be completed, will be a great
attraction as an educational institu-
ton to the people living in FL Paso's
territory, as well as to prospective
citizens from various parts of the
country. The fact that FL PasO's
school system will rank high will be
great inducement for people to locate
here, and for this reason our new
school will be a great asset to the
city"
For prompt action FL Paso has GER
tainly made a good record in the mat
ter of working for playground sys-
TEN for the city" said 7. c. Settle, the
field secretary Of the National Play
ground association. I'VE have had only
a very few other cities in which there
has been such a general response and
such strong playground sentiment
among the general public
x
81 am glad to get back home" said
Romaiue Fielding, who is on his way
to Phoenix, Ariz., from Philadelphia
The west is always home 70 me-
although / am not able to spend as
much time in the west as / would like.
There is a fascination about the Tree
ness and the bigness of things out here
that is absent in the crowded east. l
am always overjoyed when my work
will let me go west again. The
scenery Of the west is most adaptable
for moving picture settings, even If
they are not Of the wild and WOolly'
kind. I wish I might stay a little in
FL Paso for when I was here three
years ago I surely enjoyed every mo-
ment of my stay
Many stones are found in this vi
cinity that are made into jewelry,"
said Charles A. Berg. Among the
number are moonstones, fine specimens
of which are found on Mount Franklin,
Mexican opals, chrisachola and anne
thyst All Of these stones are common
terized by beautiful markings which,
when polished, make up into beautiful
settings. The finest malachite, of
deep green with fine tracings, comes
from the Copper Queen mines at Bis
bee"
There is liable to be a big shortage
in Mexican cigars unless fighting in
the Puebla district ends" said c. G.
Meise. of Torreon. There are large
factories in Puebla and OrIzaDa and
much Of the best tobacco is also grown
in this section The poems who usually
look after the crop, have either Joined
the army or have been driven from
their homes. During all of the former
revolutions there was practically no
fight ting in this section but this time it
has been the very center Of the hercest
fighting Of the war"
Il would very much like to see some
of the FL Paso basketball teams
arrange games with teams from Cali
fornia," said George Hobbs. Il saw
teams playing in California. I am
lieve that any OF the four teams in the
Commercial league could dispose of the
teams playing in California, I am
certain that two picked teams from the
league could go through the state and
clean up everything before them. 1
have never seen as fierce, hard fought,
and at the same time clean games as
those witnessed Wednesday night 1
have paid frequently to witness games
which could not compare with them
for speed and superior play"
+The work of the students Of the
Ell Paso schools, which will be on eX-
hibit in the Made in Ell Paso' show,
will be a creditable one" said W. A
Burk, supervisor of the manual train
ing work of the public schools. The
school boys have shown much interest
in their construction work in these
,pieces of furniture and their work
viii compare mosti favOrably with
that of more experienced workers. The
teachers Of the manual training de-
partment are glad for an opportunity
to show the people Of Ell Paso the
practical work that is being done in
the manual training department Of the
schools"
