'Made-In-El-Paso
OTARY dub and Adclub are behind the "Madc-In-El-Paso Week" movement,
and with such backing the exposition is bound to be a success. Such an
i;n if liM in the near future, under such auspices, will greatly
"" -. . .
stimulate local interest in our own industries, ana wm stimulate uau. ".
be a means of education to young and not-so-young. It will be a valuable lesson
in economics. It will increase the spirit of loyalty to home institutions.
But the effect of such an exposition is by no means limited to the local field.
At any ene time there are thousands of visitors and transients in El Paso, largely
people who reside in other communities within El Paso's trade circle, and who
arc here on business or pleasure. At this season especially, there will be many
visitors who will gain their first large conception of EI Paso as an industrial
center, from such a demonstration.
Under the able direction of the Rotary club and the Adclub, the projected
"Madc-In-Kl-Paso Week" exposition will surpass all previous efforts in this line.
It is to be expected that every concern in El Paso that produces or manufactures
anything for the general trade will be represented the smallest as well as the
largest concerns. In El Paso there are about 90 concerns manufacturing m some
degree for the general trade. Some of these work on a small scale, but everything
has its beginning, and in time to come it will be interesting to remember the
small beginning of the great industries of the future.
No El Paso producer or manufacturer should hesitate to make a display, no
matter on how small a scale he may be working at present And of course the
larger concerns will leave nothing undone to demonstrate their pride in El Paso
and their part in the city's success and progress.
It is probable that from this exposition movement will develop permanent
exposition, which will be one of El Paso's assets as an attraction to sightseeis.
The present demonstration will not be limited to manufactured goods, but
will be broad enough to include flowers, fruits, grains, vegetables, etc, grown
in this city and vicinity. There is an opportunity to make the display the best
El Paso has ever had.
o
How far a little fret and fuss and temper can go is shown in a suit involving
$1.36, whkh started in North Carolina about an overcharge for freight on a car
load of ranges. The railway company offered a compromise, but a difference of
$1.36, which neither side would pay, carried the case into the North Carolina
supreme court, which imposed a fine of $100 on the railroad; then the case went
on to the supreme court of the United States, "the highest tribunal this side of
Judgment day."
Turkey's Fate
NICOLAS I, csar of Ruacia, when the last century was young, gave Turkey
the nickname "The sick man of Europe," while discussing the fatp of the
Turks with the British. "We have a sick man, a dying man on our
hands," he said; "We must keep him alive as long as possible but we must frankly
take into view all the contingencies." This was in 1844.
Turkey has lived through four wars spce then, but has lost land and lost
hold all the time. Young Turkey has broken and disheartened the old nation;
Europe has been wearing on her. Turkey is behind the times in the western world,
and that is death in itself. The ways of the Turks are not the ways of the
western powers, bad as the ways of the west are at epochs.
Turkey has lived these 70 years only by suffrance. The jealousies of six
nations, Germany, Russia, England, France, Italy, and Austria, have held her
crumbling domain together in spite of fate and mortal sickness. But when nations
are making mighty oaths against each other, England has sworn a vow that when
the war is over there shall be no Turkey.
o
Europe is beginning to feel the lack of American funds usually pouring in
from American tourists seeing the old world. The old city of Jerusalem particu
larly finds herself poor, poorer than she has been in this generation, lacking the
generous American traveler to give to beggars and spend his money in the streets
ami shops and little hotels.
The Help
NOT ONLY is the United States sending food materials to Belgium, and hos
pital ships, nurses, doctors, and hospital supplies, but she is sending experts
on social relief, who will go over the field in Europe, first in Belgium, and
devise measures for more fundamental help. They will endeavor not only to help
each starving person, hut to destroy starvation by removing the cause. Europe
needs now both the sentimental mercy which gives the distressed half of our
loaf of bread, and also the scientific mercy that helps the poor to help themselves.
All the warring nations are having to shut down many enterprises for lack
of dye stuffs; all have factories where mostly women are employed in making
up cotton, and if they could get the cotton, these women could go on working and
earning a living; the Rockefeller Foundation experts will help to settle the large
problems of relief by adjusting commercial conditions wherever possible.
o
Incidentally, El Paso has more different kinds of amusements going on all
the time than other cities. And a large proportion are outdoor events that take
folks out into the open. On the whole, El Paso cannot be beat as a place to live
in; it is the city of infinite variety.
o
Maurice Maeterlinck, the author of "The Blue Bird" and so many books of
quiet philosophy and beauty, calls the king of Belgium, "The great young king
ofmy little country, and thus far the greatest hero of this war."

Tom and Toby In Trouble

IIS. TABBY grabbed Tommj by
the ear and shook him until
he meowed with pain. "Just
let me catch jou fighting with Toby
Hicks once more," she said, "and jou
will stay at home in bed for two
days, with nothing but bread and wa
ter." Tommy wiggled to get away, but
Mrs. Tabby held him fast. She had
not finished her lecture. She held on
so Ughtlj that Tom finally gave up
tijlng to get away and leaned against
her knee.
Then he remembered that his mother
had not held him in her lap for a lon?
time He pushed closer to her, and
patted her paw which did not haie
hold of his ear.
Now, it is very difficult to speak
crossly to anyone who fcuddles up and
smiles sweetly at ou, and Mrs Taobv
gradually began to speak more and
more gentlj. Tommy cuddled closer,
and looked more and more like an
angel kitty, and at last Mrs. Tabb
picked him up in her lap and cuddled
him in good old style.
Tommy's arms went around her
neck, and he whispered softly in her
ear, "I never like to displease you,
mother. I'd rather be friends with
you than go fishing, er anything!"
"You please me ery much, Tom "
said Mrs. Tabby. "If jou only knew
what a pleasure you are to me when
jou are good and helpful, you would
never be naughty any more."
So they made up with a kiss, and
Tommy went -whistling out of the
door, as happy as he could be. "I
won't make her any more trouble not
one speck," he said to himself.
He meant it when he said it, but how
was he to know that Tobj Hicks was
waiting at the corner for no reason at
all to jump on him?
He sat on the back steps for a while
considering what he would do, and
Mrs. Hicks came hurrying in "Is
your mother home?" she asked Tommy,
but before" he could answer Mrs Tabby
appeared in the doorway. "There j ou
areT"saia. Mrs. Hicks, 'don't go In just
yet, I want Tommi to hear what I
haie to say." Tommy pricked up his
"I have just finished giving that
worthless Toby of mine a bad thrash
ing and If there is one more fight he
hum whal he will eet" She frowned
'ferociously, and Mrs. Tabby nodded.
"Tom and I have had an unaersiana
mg, too," she said "I do not think
there will be any more trouble."
The two went Into the house and
Tommy went thoughtfully -down the
walk. He came nearer and nearer to
the bushes at the corner, and as he
turned Toby Hicks jumped at him. "So
you got me a thrashing did you,"
yelled Toby 'Til do you up behind
these bushes right now."
Tommy began to defend himself, for
the fight could not be seen from tho
house. It would neer do to get caught

ing, tightly clinched, when voices com

second. Before they could loose their
hold on one another, around the cor

They looked up and saw Tom and
Toby clasped in each other's arms.
They stopped, too horrified to speak.

''Vh! Wrong it Is to point,
Ao matter where ynu lie,

Said Mother, tenderly.
PRUNELLA DE LITE, the young
mother, was taking Slnbad. her'
little son, out walking. Consider
ing that he was only five, little Sin
bad walked extremely well, she
thought.
Suddenly, a strong odoiyof smoke as
sailed the air, and, turning. Prunella
saw that It was rising from her own
summer kitchen. Little Slnbad pointed
excitedly.
"See. mamma, see!" he cried. "I set
that afire with my little box of match-
"Sinbad." said Ills mother reproving
ly, "how often have I told jou never to
point!"
And they walked on.
After a bit they passed a Chinaman
carrying a bag of laundry
Again little Slnbad waved his arm
excitedly.
"Ooh, mamma!" he cried. "Look at
the d n Chink!"
"Sinbad." said his mother reproving
ly, "must I speak to you again aboxit

And they finished their walk and
went home The firemen wer,e just put
ting out the last two or three flames,
and IHtte Slnbat's fjrther had returned
home and was watching them amused

Sinbad s papa, "Sinbad has been a bod
little boy today. He pointed twice."
So Sinbad's papa spanked him.

G believe there will be the
" slightest difficulty in securing
the amount necessary to build the pro
posed $500,000 high school," said James
E Morgan, president of the board.
"The school board now has $175,000
on hand that is available for this pur
pose, this means that about $325,000
is still needed. This money will be
obtained through a bon4 issue which
will be submitted to the voters of the
county when the shell of the building
is completed. The new high school

"EI Paso is one of the most 'pros

prosperity of the city is evidenced Dy
che many luxuries the citizens are
able to enjoy. There are approxi
mately 2500 automobiles in the county
of El Paso, which is a big percentage
for the population. Recently I nave
visited a number of large eastern
cities and I found none of them enjoy
ing such prosperity as El Paso. Tne
money market is not tight here as it is
in many eastern cities of similar popu

"After months of interrupted rail ser
vice Mexican cigars in large quanti
ties are beginning to reach Juarez
again," said C. L. Alvez. "This week
one merchant has received a consign
ment numbering 118.000 cigars, all
from Veracruz. The shipment had to
be relayed through the American lines
and then unloaded at dozen different
points so that It would not be held up
as a shipment into Villa territory Most
of the railroad men helped themselves
to a nanaiui oi ptncci "" "";--from
this the entire shipment which
is one of the largest single shipments
that has ever arrived in Juarez, came
to the border In good shape."
"Prices charged by "for hire' autos
in El Paso are the highest In the state,
if not the entire southwest," said C.
B. Barrows. "It seems too bad that the
Pass City cannot keep pace with other
c'ties of Its size in the country in re
gard to the rates of hiring automo
biles. In Los Angeles, Phoenix, Dal

The names of the low third pupils
BY GEORGEFITCH.
Author of "At Good Old Slmuh."
T TOURIST is a person who learns
geography by crawling over It
with a guide book.
This is not always a successful pro-'
cess for the tourist Many a tourist
studies all his life at the rate of 2
cents per mile, third class and never
learns the size and tonnage of the coun
tries which he has visited. But It is
vastly beneficial to the geography
which is traveled over by the tourist. A
country which has enough tourists does
not need to bother with factories and
bond Issues. One tourist will support
two families. In Switzerland the tour
ist is the national beast of burden.
Tourists generally choose some conn
try far from their native land to explore
When they land in this country they
are ignorant of its language, customs,
prejudices and virtues. But this does
not bother them. They let their money
do the talking and use the customs of
their own beloved land. For this rea
son tourists are not madly beloved by
those who live off of them. Americans
gaze scornfully at king George In Eng
land and regard royalty with a lofty
stare. This makes as nig a hit with
Englishmen as would be made by a
Briton who would try to stop a world's
series baseball game at 4 p. m., in or
der to get a cup of tea.
All tourists learn a great deal while
traveling, but they do not all learn the
same things. Some of them study the
customs, manners and business of a
foreign land" ami absorb huge irregu
lar masses of Information which they
later retail to ilselr fellow citizens -with
tHe aW of a. ptereopticon or a publish
ing company,' Other tourists acquire an
aceumte knowledge of the salient
points fit difference between French
and Italian wines, but remain a vacuum

FR03I A FLORIST.
Editor El Paso Herald:
I wish to say a few words In regard
to the "flower war," as you are pleased
to call It The florists are kicking,
not because the department store is
selling flowers, but because It Is sell
ing them below cost and thereby de
moralizing our business. We are un
der a big expense to maintain a flower
shop, we have only "tho one line,"
while the dry goods stores have hun
dreds. El Paso needs the florists, but It Is
-necessary for us to make a fair profit
or go out of business. We expect the
people of EI Paso to patronize us, as
we are taxpayers and residents. We
make our money here and spend It
here, however little it is, and we 'do
resent having our business ruined to
advertise a big corporation, when they
could easily use something In their
own line
I ask you as a special favor to print
