Ell PaSo Is Leading Texas in It's Regular Business
Fort Worth May Lose the Troops if 1t Remains Wet

.T FIND business almost as good
in El Paso-that is, mean the
\ FL Paso branch is doing as
much buslness-as In Fl Worth. Dali
las. San Antonio or Houston" said R
D. Nicholson. OF Dallas, general man
ager OF the quick Tire service, who is
in the city visiting the local store,
under the management OF D. c. Booth.
II FL Paso had the troops that Dali
las. Ft Worth. san Antonio and
Houston have. our business here
would be greater than that Of any
city in Texas. This. I think, speaks
volumes for the regular business e.
Paso is doing.
while Fit Worth claims more pop
ulatlon than FL Paso. believe e
Paso is as big as Fit Worth
i believe e Paso will do the right
thing il it votes dry. Ft Worth Is
going to have to go dry or lose its
camp The Canadian officers viii no
longer permit their men to go into
Ft. Worth; too many OF them fall by
the wayside as a result Of the liquor
they get there. They now have to
promise to go to Dallas to get a per-
nit TO leave camp.
