A STRENUOUS YEAR

While the year just closing was one OF the
most strenuous years in the history of the
Chamber of Commerce, the organization did
much in the way of furthering the organiza-
ton of Ell PaSo'S units in the Texas National
Guard, in providing entertainment not only for
soldiers stationed at Fort Bliss and in the vari-
Gus camps surrounding that post, but in provid-
ing quarters for the Provost Guard, and diStrib-
uting literature among the thousands of SOL
dierS who passed through the city on their way
to cantonnentS, east and west; in seeking to
bring factories and other industries of various
kinds to the city; in entertaining distinguished
guests of national reputation, and in countless
other ways.
Do You Like Ell PasO? Then Stand Up For It
Any town worth living in is worth support
ing. Support Ell PaSo by subscribing to the fund
which will be spent to make it one of the best
towns of the southwest in point of population,
resources and standing in the SiSterhood of
American cities.
81 PaSo has been given so much adverse ad-
vertiSing during the past few years that every
thing possible must be done to make the world
aware of true conditions.
81 PaSO needs more Sn1OkeStackS-n1o fac
tories She can get them if she will go after
them To go after them means that the advan-
tageS of the city must be advertised to those
who have the money and the desire to build and
equip the factories we need. Are you willing to
do your share?

EVERY DOLLAR NEEDED

Every dollar of the $4,000 asked for by the
Chamber of Commerce with which to finance
the activities of that great civic organization
during the year 1913 is necessary if the progress
Sive and constructive work now planned is not
to be curtailed. The public has already been in
formed precisely how the money was spent last
year. and why an increased amount is needed
for this year. Up to the present something over
one-third of the total amount deemed neceS-
Sary has been subscribed by comparatively
few concerns, among them those who realize
the importance to the city of the maintenance
of the Chamber of Commerce, and who are al
ways ready to subscribe to the fund. The BAL
ance should be made up by a large number of
small Individual subscribers, particularly those
who are property owners or who are engaged
in business which will be made to grow through
the activities of the Chamber of Commerce.
Every man and woman owning property in Ell
PaSo. or engaged in business, can afford to give
something. The whole community benefits
from the expenditures of the Chamber
of Commerce. These subscriptions should not
be regarded as Donations but rather as invest
n1entS certain to return heavy interest during
the year.
For Your Own GOod---NOt For Charity
Your contribution to the Budget Fund is for
the purpose of increasing your own business
make it in that spirit.

The federal government stands TO
lose pretty penny on its investment
In wheat as a result OF the termination
OF the war al the time IL did terminate.
Some wiseacres In the grain trade say
that the loss will approximate a bill
lion dollars.
The government contracted 10 buy
all the wheat that the farmers should
raise in 1919 at a price OF 1920 per
bushel. That's a good price even in
war times. and farmers got busy TO
take advantage OF IL. Land that had
been devoted to other crops were turn
ed into wheat with the result that
huge winter wheat crop larger by
100000 bushels than any yield in
the history OF American agriculture is
forecast by the department of agricul-
ture
The governments appeal, made be-
fore peace was in sight, saying an
acreage OF 47,5O0.OOO acres was de-
sirable and the guaranteed price OF
81 20 a bushel for wheat stimulated
extraordinary effort by farmers, said
the departments announcement. AS
| a result 49,027,OOO acres were planted
during a long and almost perfect sea-
son.

outset of the campaign the question
was naturally asked by some, "Why

the War Chests were designed and

state that the association shall pay

a resolution having been adopted at

those people who were active
members Of the War Relief Associa-

Now il so happens that the mem
bcrShips in the War Chests of the

With rare exceptions, only those wo-
men who are wage earners such as
teachers, office employees, clerks, etc.

necessary to cross the ocean to seek
opportunities for service. This war
has taught us nothing more import

Plan To Double Its

Waui Agricultural Company Pre-
fers To Wait Because of
Present Uncertainties

Some improvements that have been
planned by plantations and sugar com
panies in the Islands are being Temporal
lily abandoned or held in allegiance at
the present time because, il is said, Of
the uncertainty which attaches to the
securing of the materials and the ma
ehinery OF the time desired, This is
oeeasioned by the congestion in the
great manufactures on the mainland
and the giving of preference to orders
which are essential to the government
or 70 the meeting of its most urgent
needs.
One instance Of the holding in, abey-
anee Of important improvements was
recently learned. This is the proposed
new electrical generator which the
Maui Agricultural had determined to
iRstall. 1t was said at the agency of
the. company this week that it had been
determined to undertake nothing in the
line Of the improvement at this time
because Of the uncertainties which at
tached.

'templated the doubling of its present
Ieleetrieal equipment. 1t was one of the
frst probably the first of the Island
Companies to install an electrical gen

PRODUCTION URGED

WASHINGTON, February 2O--In its
supplementary fOod-production pro
gram Issued today the United States
Department of Agriculture joins in the
campaign for a. larger domestic sugar
production. The program makes the
following recommendations on this
point: :, O..
Effort should be made to maintain
the acreage of sugar cane and sugar
bcets, and to increase these areas in 50
far as there crops are well established
or are necessary to sound agricultural
practise. Production of satisfactory
substitutes for sugar, including sorr
ghum, corn and cane syrup, maple
products and honey can and should be
increased. Sorghum syrup, II is point
ed out, may, be produced in nearly
every state In the Union, and INCREASED
production OF sorghum sweets would
enable the public TO conserve still fur.

available for transportation to eur sol.

| April CROP estimates win soon be
Forthcoming and they are awaited with
n great deal Of interest, especially from
those plantations on Maui and Hawaii
that were seriously affected b the

were far below the crop Of last year.
Expert sugar men have said that con

" Thus far, on some OF the plantations
that were affected by the. drought, the
sugar content has been below the con
sentative estimates that were made In
October. The cane has put on much
growth and has Benefited in that Way
from the storms and the rains. The
