Pave Not Your parlor With 1t.

The most expensive wood in the
world is said TO be the lockwood i'm.
ported from Turkey for the use of en-
gravers. The cost ranges from four
cents square inch up to ten cents
square inch for the best grade. Al
ordinary wagon load of lockwood
would cost many thousand dollars. A
string of beads made of 1t would be
a fairly expensive piece of jewelry.

FL Paso. with its rare climate. its at
tractive and picturesque setting. its
proximity 10 the border and the ease
with which trip into Mexico may
be taken, should be a wonderful spot
for tourists. II the chamber OF COM

the opportunities, they could. by ad-
vertising, attract many people here,
and thus indirectly build the city in
many ways. Posters and folders
placed in the trains. advertisements
in the newspapers which are read
by the people on the trains, posters
in the ticket offices Of the eastern

people in FL Paso."
