Number 2
The telephone business has kept pace with the city's growth
We have met every demand for telephone service made upon us
We have spent nearly half a million dollars since April 30, 1910, meet
ing those demands
To be exact, the amount added to our El Paso plant since that date is
$,486,096.00
That doesn't include toll lines
We have also connected El Paso with the outside world by heavy cop
per toll lines
We have taken all the business offered us and have given adequate
service
Much of this business has been unprofitable
Some service has been sold below the cost of production
Not all telephone service is sold at a profit
That's one reason our business is different i

Yuan Shi Kai Is Proving
Master of the Situation,
Despite Obstacles.
Pekin, China. Oct. 21. Present strug
gles in China are believed to be result'
me: in the consolidation rather than
the disintegration of China. The over-
ttrow of the Manchu dynasty by arms '
left many unsolved problems, among j which are earning more than interest,
them the following: Should the new ; leaving some $S0O.000,000 to be met by
j.utrument be a monarch' or a re- ; taxation. Considering that Japan's na
public? Should the capftal be at Pe- tional indebtedness is $1,306,901,499 and
kin or at Nanking? Should the ruler i that China's population and natural re-r-
Yuan Shi Kai or Sun Yat Sen? sources are some six or seven times as
nould the central government be j
strengthened or should China remain a
loose aggregate of semi-independent
provinces?
These problems were settled not by
force but by compromise in which the
views of the south were accepted on
th" first and most important problem

I third problems: while tho fourth prob-
lem, the relative strength of the cen-
tral government and the provinces, was
left unsolved. These conclusions were I
reached by the consent of Yuan Shi Kai
to the adoption or the republic and by
the decision of 14 Yuan Hung, who had
charge of the revolutionary forces, and
of all the more tnoughtful leaders of
China, In favor of Yuan Shi Kai for
the presidency.
The first problem which confronted
Yuan Shi Kai as provisional president
ana the new government was the prob
lem of finance. Fortunately, the finan
ces of China in general are in good con
dition, so far as indebtedness and the
annual expenditures of the nation are
concerned. The total indebtedness of
China for the central government, the
provinces and the cities, plus the re
cent loan, is $1,079,000,000. cold, of
which $277,000,000 are on railway and
which $277,000,000 a

large. Putting the matter in another
orm -9hlna's t.011 indebtedness Is !
about $2 per capitum, whereas Japan's,
including the Koreans in her popula
tion, is some $20 per capitum.

industries of central China and in some
measure of all Phinn v.o i.mn.
rily the nation is in a hart . tir,,nni0i
condition as at the close of the involu
tion. It left the nation helpless against
further aggression by Russia and Ja
pan, and Kussia has taken advantage
of the crisis and is trying to compel
Yuan Shi Kai to sign a release of all
Chinese claims to Mongolia. A large
majority of the young men of China
who are influential today and who may
be the leaders of China tomorrow dis
trust Yuan Shi Kai. They say that ha,
betrayed Kuang Hsu for the empress
dowager in 1SS; that he betrayed the
empress dowager by refusing to attack
the foreigners in 1900: that he betrayed
prince Chu in 1911 and that he will now
betray the republic. Whatever may be
the cause of their distrust, their lack or
confidence in Yuan Shi Kai Is the most
serious problem which confronts China.
Upon the other hand, there are four
grounds of hope. China was face to face
with a crisis which demanded some so
lution in the near future. The central
government, by the failure of the prov
inces to send in the customary taxes,
temporarily was bankrupt Yuan Shi
Kai, by borrowing money which the
resources of China are ample to repay
has made the same provision for the'
crisis which the United States and
other civilized governments have been
obliged to make in similar conditions.

has brought to the front a group of
new leaders who give good promise ot
constructive statesmanship.
The strengthening of the central gov
ernment by the collapse of the efforts
upon the part of three or four provinces
to establish their independence may
have important consequences for the
future.

How to Make the Best
Cough Remedy at Home
A Family Supply ct 5mn.ll Cost,
and Fully Guaranteed.
Make a plain syrup by mixing one
pint of granulated sugar and pint of
warm water and stir for 2 minutes.
Tut 2y2 ounces of pure Pinex (fifty
cents' worth) in a pint bottle, and fill it
up with the Sugar Syrup. This gives
you a family supply of the best cough
syrup at a saving of 2. It never spoils.
Take a teaspoonful everj' one, two or
three hours.
The effectiveness of this simple remedy
is surprising. It seems to take hold al
most instantly, and will usually con
?uer an ordinary cough in 24 "hours,
t tones up the "jaded appetite and is
just laxative enough to be helpful in
a cough, and has a pleasing taste.
Also excellent for bronchial trouble,
bronchial asthma, whooping cough and
spasmodic croup.
This method of making cough remedy
with Pines and Sugar Syrup (or
strained honey) is now -used in more
homes than any other cough syrup.
This explains why it is often imitated,
though never successfully. If you try
it, use only genuine Piner. which is a
most valuable concentrated compound j
of .Norway white pine extract, and is
rich in guaiacol and other natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara
tions will not work in this combination,
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,

speaks for itself. Theie is abso

the harness which holds your beti
