I believe that W Smith has some

He has stated that the militiamen

of their mothers mixed with little
ice cream and cake, OF in other words,
just a little too fancy for the army.

Ell Paso has acquired reputation as an energetic
and unusually prosperous city Its splendid conditions

those of many another place with greater population
Its advantages will be less advertised than now, but
always 1t is certain that both business and popu

investments safe.
There is better place for money lying in bank
than invest it conservativey in real estate to
profit by the enhancement in values There greater
incentive toward saving, not spending than to make
payment and be under obligations to meet future pay

informed that John Smith sold his house his vacant

he paid for it. If they to know, for instance that
the average sale in El Paso represents profit that
would make deep impression.

the fair business judgment in buying and selling

he will sell at profit. 1t is true too, that the

No would think of buying and selling merchandise

The main thing is buy at fair price and to keep the

TWELVE leading real estate agencies of Ell Paso
are beginning advertising campaign of educa-
ton for the good of EI Paso Its purpose is to in
struct people, here and elsewhere in the value OF FL
Paso and suburban for home purposes and
an investment The campaign is timely and altogether
excellent.
Probably everyone in FL Paso realizes IN general
way that the city is building rapidly both IN the
residence and business districts and that miles Of homes
have been built and occupied during the past few years
II is fact however that hundreds Of families, well able
to afford the satisfaction that owning ones home al
fords are living rented places IN more or less tenn
porary and makeshift fashion, principally because the
attractive facts of property owning IN FL Paso have
never been strongly impressed upon them 1t Is almost
impossible for realty agencies to reach the majority OF
these residents Advertising therefore, furnishes an ex
ceent means to the end. 1t should prove equally
advantageous In attracting investments from outside
sources especially from the towns and ranches IN FL
Paso's trade territory.
There is no doubt that many investors in FL Paso
have profited only from property bought years ago
when lets and land tracts could be bought for very small
figures but also the past few years More than one
piece OF property has been bought and sold at profit
IN a short time Few Of the great mass Of residents
realize the profit making side of real estate here for as
rule when man sells he does not publish the extent
of his profits Some of his friends may know he cleared

The documents were signed by Secretary Lansing at his home, where he has been i'll for several days.
 The United States reiterates in more vigorous terms its objection to the seizure and detention of legiti- mate mail matter bound to and from the United States and insists particu- larly that Great Britain stop the practice of seizing vessels on the high seas and taking them into port to subject mail aboard to local regula- tions.
