national army of conscrpts, larger force than was
modified on the border during the Mexican crisis Of this
force FL Paso by of having camp Sites d grounds
and readily available and being accessible by many
railroad lines may reasonably expect to receive at least one
and probably divisions Of $4,000 men EACH all being
national quardsmen They are to be modified here and
given intensive training in preparation fo IN turn training
the conscpt army which shortly to be called into bel5g
thus reasonable expect that during the entire period
of the war; following the calling of the conscrpts into
service great number Of national guard troops to De
brought to the border district will be busy drilling other
great numbers Of conscpts There every indication tnat
in the near future the entire border district will be- the
one hand military training camp, and, on the other
teeming business and industrial field sraining every
army plus those of the nation plus those of the allies
Thus fear of a depression is foolish.
War in itself does not business depression We
are by this time used 10 hearing Of staggering sums Of
money turned into the channels of trade to satisfy wars
demands The scale of expenditure being increased by
the entry of the United States into the The billions
of dollars to be put into circulation in country viii
help wealth for in the world struggle for
humanity
This is no time for locking up money in the safety
deposit vault and hiding the key, for drawing money
ont of the bank and buying it for prower to find and
steal State county, and city improvements must go on
Keep with road building and public Improvements FL
Paso greatly needs modern street lighting system Rail-
roads must renew their equipment, supply to care
for the transportation demands which viii be increased
greatly full quota of labor must be employed IN every
shop store and office Homes must be built bought re-
trihuted and economically used.
In short the more money the southwest spends
wisely not foolishly wastefuIlyhe more il will have
to spend.
The necessity for keeping everything going full speed
ahead expressed by president Wilson in these words
at is evident to every thinking man that our industries

It ought not to slacken when there is for it It
must sacen when money is withheld from wise expend
ture and investment
The human body is at its best only when there is
strong healthy circulation of blood Fear weaken
ing of the heart and retardng of the circulation
That what the face TO whten and the limbs TO
tremble and grow cold.
Fear viii cause retarding of the circulation Of money

industrial and business activities Confidence in the con-
tnuanee and increase of present prosperity VIII cause
the money circulation TO remain strong

ton and distribution They viii not approach normal levels
while the lasts but the present runous sky rocketng
is bound to end, to the relief of every consumer.
Don't let's be scared Let keep nerve. Let US
look at conditions they bound to bnever in the
worlds history has such of prosperity spread itself
before people-to the end that the may the
quickly be terminated and peace restored and that
well being may continue.
