FL PA5O SCHOOL Of MINES IS
RANKED WITH C0UNTRY'5 BEST
Every Facility Offered For Theoretical and Practical
Education In Mining Engineering In Institution That
Has Scientists In Faculty and Most Modern Equip
ment In the Southwest For This Line OF Work.

I'll PASO has a great asset in the
l. Texas state school OF mines and
metaIlurgy. a branch OF the Texas
state university. which makes FL Paso
a university city and an educational
center, as well as an important com
merciaI center.
In the readjustment period. which
the world Is now facing. the mining
engineer IS recognized as a dominat-
ing character. The necessary recon
struction work TO be done viii bring
about a greater development Of min
eraI and metal resources. an opening
Of new mining fields and an in con-
sequence. there has been awakened a
greater and more general Interest IN
colleges Of mining engineering
Texas School Ranks With Best
Not only in the course in mining
engineering, given at the Texas state
school Of mines. equal TO mining
courses offered in the very best tech
meal Institutions Of the country, but
in many Instances, and especially IN
the practical applied side OF the in
struction, the course is superior to the
majority Of mining schools
The course covers four years work
awarded at graduation All the sub
jects are required studies, selected for
their importance in the thorough
training OF a mining engineer. SO that
no time is wasted on nonessentials-
The mining engineers field Of work
IS a broad one. and he must be thor
oughly posted on every phase con-
nected with mining work He must
be craftsman. surveyor, a geolo-
gist. chemist. assayer and metallurgist.
as well as a miner.
Aims af Efficiency.
Strong emphasis is placed upon the
practical application Of the theoretical
study in every subject taught. so that
IN all points the student may become
an efficient engineer. In its facilities
for training the student in the prac-
teal applied work. the Texas school
Of mines has advantages over most Of
he mining schools OF the country.

ration Of ores is given the student

roads in most places have deterior-
ated.
There is growing dissatisfaction
with the old policy of picemeal road
construction. Pennsylvania has voted
for a bond issue of $50,000,000 for
highways, and Illinois for one of $780,
100000. There is a new movement
in Minnesota to raise 100000, 900.
These sums are enormous and they
alarm many conservative taxpayers.
But at the old rate Of road building,
the present generation will be dead
before a comprehensive system is
built.
There are now a good many hand
some main line boulevards on which
speeding motorists can get smashed
up to their hearts content. But the
hard roads do not touch the mass of
farm property.
You can't produce food economical
ly on farm the outlet of which is a
oft road. Either the farmer realizey
a low figure, or the consumer pays
high. But when trucks and teams
make a quick trip, the farm can be
run with less labor.
The trucking charges for getting
food to the markets will continue a
high tax until q nationwide move
ment has made the bulk of the farms
more accessible to the railroads.
The question whether road building
on a big scale will pay is one to be
decided only after expert investiga-
ton. The cost is great and should be
undertaken only when a substantial
gain can be figured over a term of
years Authorities on rural develop
ment usually think it pays. Even a
cautious business man would probably
spend to 10 per cent of his capital
to bring an antiquated plant up to
date. So it does not seem wholly
reckless when a state puts up two or
three per cent of its wealth to mod
ernize its highways.

HOME TOWN FEELING

Some people play a lone hand. They
do not form much attachment to the
place where they live, and do not par
ticularly regret leaving it if they
have to move. And no one weeps any
tears when they pack up and go. They
respond to no calls for cooperation.
And no one feels any particular de-
sire to help them along. The COM
munity gains little from their pres
epce. And q town made up of that
kind Of people is a dead one.
Then there are those who feel an
intense loyalty to their home town
and all the people living there, to all
its undertakings and enterprises. 1t
is partly sentimental affection, partly
q keen sense Of the practical business
value of cooperation and team work.
Baxter Springs has. lot of these
folks. Its progress is due to them.
They feel a cordial interest in all our
tOwnspeople. You can depend upon
their hearty support for any commun-
ity project. Every local enterprise
has their backing. In so far as that
idea prevails; the town will realize
It's possibilities.
When this spirit exists, it is a
genuine pleasure to give preference in
all business dealings and purchase of
material to anything that comes from
the home town. If a suit of clothes
sold here is just as good for the same
money, always buy it. One might
well buy it, even if it was little in
ferior. But thanks to our splendidly
stocked stores, that sacrifice is rarely
necessary. 1t is poor community
spirit and deficient team work to buy
stuff out of town unless we know from
Investigation that it is not to be had
at home.
When a town has this unified, CO.
operative, reciprocity spirit Of team
work, you can't stop it. The compact
mass of people working for common
ends, will beat out a greater popula-
ton whose energies are divided and
scattered.
