CURED keynote speech, but not to

that mode of delivery. 1t would never
do in such a matter to trust to extern

Johnston, who was familiar with my
rough ~penmanship, came to the rescue.
Concealing my manuscript behind his

Il few opening sentences.
Luck was with me. 1t went with IA
bang-not wholly without detection,
however. The Indianians, devoted to
Hendricks, were very Wroth. See that

The Sycamore.

One of the very best trees for street
planting is the oriental plane or syca-
more. Because Of its many good quail
tiles it is rapidly coming into general
favor. 1t bears a heavy crop of large
scalloped leaves, which remain on the
tree until late autumn, long after other
trees have cast their foliage. This
variety of sycamore has & stocky
trunk, which branches, and a spread

THE PASS TO THE NORTH.
81 Paso Was Given Its Name In 1893
by Juan de Onate,

AS you neal El Paso you catch a
glimpse at Ysleta of the venerable
church, now hopelessly restored, that
was built away back in 1852 after the
Pueblo uprising. Does this sound like
a remote date in American history:
One Is constantly surprised down here
by the antiquity of the settlements.
El Paso is certainly no exception to
the rule, for 1t was given it's name in
1893 by Juan de Onate, II of the ear.
lest e%xnlorers of New Mexico. who,
having forded the Rio Grande at this
point, called it Ell Paso del Norte-the
pass to the north. Fifty years later
the old church and mission at Juarez
were built. But from that time until
Paso itself remained a ranch belonging
to the Ponce de Leon family. After
the American occupation it became a
terminal point on the old overland
trail from st. Louis to San Francisco,
and the rumbling stagecoaches brought
life and glitter to the saloons and gam
bling Joints of the Gale El Paso.
The last half century has again yast
~ changed all this, ard the border
town has been completely submerged
In the steady march of modern i'm
provement.

BIRDS HIGH IN THE AIR.
Out Of Human Sight They Can Hear
Calls From the Earth.

On Sept. 80, 1894, an astronomer at
Shere, England, was studying the sun
through a telescope. Every few sec
Onds during the ten minutes he watch
ed a bird was seer to pass slowly
through his field, flying in a s%outherly
direction, but with the naked eye not a
bird could be seen.
Our ears really tell us more than our
unaided eyes about the day fliers which
are travelling far up III the sky. With
nothing to turn them from their course
sound waves carry surprising distances
either up from the earth or down to it.
Balloonists tell us how clearly they
can hear voices of people who are
scarcely visible to them. So we may
hear the notes of passing birds which
are travelling at too great a height to he
seen. The mellow whistles of certain
snipe and plover tell us that they are
passing along the birds air line when
1t is impossible for us to see them. But
If we answer we may in time see a
black speck in the sky which responds
to II call and finally circles close
overhead.
On one occasion in Central park, New
York city, | heard the dutelike call of a
yellow leg snipe which was migrating
high over the city. Perhaps he was
calling to some companion in the sky.
Certainly there was nothing on the
earth to attract him. But, putting my
fingers to my lips. | whistled Il loud
imitation of his notes. Quickly he an
swered. | whistled again and soou
could see a black dot circling high
above me. Larger and larger it grew
louder and more frequent became his
cry, and within a minute, much to the
surprise of passersby, the bird was
flying anxiously back and forth just
over my head. But, unable to find the
bird which had called to him, he soon
mounted high in the air and continued
his journey.-Frank NJ. Chapman in st
Nicholas.

day we hope to see this highway il
Illuminated also.
The Company constructed separate
power system throughout the business
center of the city. With this separate
power service, it can furnish power for
motors with less restrictions upon their
use, and avoid the blinking of lights
which occurs when large motors are
operated on the same lines with lights.
And, although greater expense was in.
volved, the power line was built on the
three wire system, permitting the use
of type of motor costing about forty
per cent less than the single phase
motors required for two wire systems
Since the construction of this power
line, over sixty horse power in motors
has been added on the Company's
lines.
The promise of pure water supply
and electric service were important
considerations in the establishment Of
the Colorado Midland division point at
Cardiff. The Glenwood Light & Water
Company was unable, at the time, to
undertake the extension, but, by agree
ing to furnish the necessary service
and to operate the systems in connec
tion with its own, encouraged the con.
struction of the Cardiff water and
light systems by group Of Glenwood
business men. Suppose there were only
coke ovens at Cardiff today!
The above statements are not made
in a boastful spirit, but purely to EN-.
phasize by its record for performance,
that it follows definite policy of ex-
pansion to anticipate demands for its
service.
The Glenwood post., 1916-12-30
Progressive and Hlert

The electric light company must be
progressive in development and alive
to public requirements, and to live up
to these ideals requires forethought
and constant preparedness. The his
tory of a Company is the only test Of
its policy in this respect.
No demand for electrical service
feasible within engineering and busi-
ness possibilities has ever found the
Glenwood Light & Water Company un.
prepared.
AS the city grew toward its bound
aries, the Company's lines were ex.
tended even before the business imme-
diately in sight was sufficient to pay
interest on the cost of the extension.
Even beyond the city limits the lines
were always ready to answer any de-
mand for service. When the site for
the County High school was estab-
lished, the Company had its line ex-
tended in time to supply power to the
contractor during the construction of
the building. On both sides of the
road south of the city, the Company
had lines ready to serve houses in that
rapidly growing locality, and thanks to
the public spirit of some of the resi-.
dents, we find the highway illuminated
as well.
AS soon as conditions warranted It,
the Company built line along the
county road toward Mitchell Creek.
Every farm on that line is using elec.
trio light, and in some instances power
