Home Industries
a
ADE-IN-EL-PASO" week ought to he only typical of similar "home
products" weeks in all the southwestern communities. There is
scarcely a town which does not produce or make something for the
local or general trade. But it is also true that as a rule the public does noc
know of it as it should. Popular education in these things makes for a higher
degree of loyalty to one's home town, and certainly makes for larger prosperity.
The Herald has often referred to the wonderful industrial and commercial
system of the Mormons in their successful colonies. The stages in establishing
a Mormon colony in a new country are something like this: First, a plot of land
for each family; second, instruction where necessary, in using the :'ot to produce
the necessaries of life; third, instruction in saving the produce for future use, and
in making up the raw materials so far as possible into manufactured articles in
immediate demand; fourth, self support carried to the maximum of practical
effect, each family so far as possible striving to produce what it consumes and
something more; fifth, trading among the families, so that each may dispose of
its surplus in exchange for something needful thus, milk for potatoes, butter
for knit socks, labor at the forge for a set of harness, a child's dress for a few
jars of preserves, etc.; sixth, thoroughly organized cooperative trading, so that
all the sorplus products of the community go to a central store, there to be
exchanged on a broad scale for other products or sold outside the community to
obtain stocks of greater variety than obtainable at home.
There is no reason why similar principles should not be followed in all com
munities, especially the younger and smaller ones. Mere self support does not
make a people or a nation or a section prosperous, for that is merely an exchange
of labor without gain; there must be a surplus to sell or barter beyond mere sup
port, if there is to be more than a fictitious prosperity. But the foundation of
all progress is production of the necessaries, and the next step in progress and
prosperity is exchange of surplus products: the bringing of a thing from where
it is not needed, to where it is needed.
Nothing more surely builds up a community, than the growth of the spirit
of home loyalty, manifested in the "Buy at home" slogan. Before one can buy
at home, one must know what he can buy at home. And first of all, he should
know what things of purely local production he can buy at home.
It is to emphasize this, and to spread the information abroad, that the
"Made-In-El-Paso" exposition is to be held soon. The exposition will last a
week. It will be staged in the very heart of the city, in such a location that
everything will be displayed to the very best advantage, and so that practically
everybody must see it incidentally to the usual passing about the streets. The
Eotary club, the Adclub, and the chamber of commerce are working together
on the plan, and already many of the principal manufacturers and producers have
promised to make representative exhibits.
Let this project be repeated in every city and town in the southwest. Let
every community take a census of what it actually produces, and then make a
public exposition on the El Paso plan. The result will be a surprising increase
in the spirit of constructive optimism that makes for sound progress and
prosperity. v

LITTLE
INTERVIEWS
Our Franklin Mountains
TAKE IT bird for bird, flower for flower, rock for rock, color for color, view
for view, and inspiration for inspiration, there are few mountains that
, can beat our Franklins for interest and wonder, beauty and help. A day
climbing up the great canyons or ridges puts one in a circle with eternity and the
great plan.
Why do so many prefer the treadmill of their thoughts, the day's fret, tie
disappointment of dreams not coming true? There is an eternity to be remem
bered and an eternity to be faced, in spite of our indifference to both.
Up in the canyons of the mountains foxes slip back to their holes, rabbits leap,
birds sing from the skies long descending trills, owls blink, snakes glitter in the
sun, wrens chirp of their business, solitary deer wander, and a whole world that is
not El Paso abides, indifferent to El Paso, fulfilling a law.
The very rocks speak of law and power, of days that man cannot remember
but that are in the plan. There are little crinkled shallow shells, fat and pudgy
sea urchins turned to fat and pudgy stones with a spiral underneath to show they i rant brigade will return in a short

as delicate as finest filigree, and plain, prosaic, but very convincing oyster shells,
all telling of a day when Mt. Franklin was the bottom of the sea and great waves
moaned over millions of little creatures that built up their lovely arches, pillars
and posts, circles and domes.
Mt Franklin is rich, very rich, in fossils. In some of the stones there are
embedded dozens of tiny shells each no larger than the head of a pin, each most
perfectly rounded or ellipsed and fluted as exquisitely as lace or frost.
To think of this mountain of our dooryards as a dull dead heap is a mistake
that shuts the door to a very wide learning of life and the plan of the universe.
Mt Franklin is a living book with pages telling of great seas with- the waves
heaped high, before the mountain shook its proud high head out of the waters
telling of molten mountains and worlds that cracked under the pressure of birth.
(fcrTTHERE is not a city in the min
! ins belt of Arizona that has
not protested against the ac
tion of England in declaring copper a
contraband of war," said George L.
Stoddard, of Bisbee. Ariz. "All of the
copper camps were, of course, hit by
the war in Ri-nr, tmo mii,i nnt h
helped. But Arizona will not allow un
necessary burdens to be placed upon her
chief industry without making a
strenuous objection. The various cham
bers of commerce have not contented
themselves with sending in a single
protest, but are following the matter
up in every way possible. If no action
is taken by the state department it will
not be for lack of full and accurate
knowledge of the situation, as statistics
covering every phase of the copper In
dustry have been sent to Washington."
"If Salazar gets across th'e line Into
northwest Chihuahua many big Ameri
can properties will suffer," said Fred
Oliver. "Salazar made the boast at Chi
huahua, a year ago, that ho would re
turn to northern Chihuahua and settle
up a number of scores. He has a grudge
against nearly all of the large prop
erty owners in that section and, with
the small parrisnyifi mnintained there, he
will be in a position to do thousands of
dollars worth of harm. He knows the
country and he is sure to get a consid
erable following."
"El Paso has shown wonderful ad
vancement and growth since I was here
a year ago," said James Bronson, of
Joplin, Mo. "There are few, if any,
cities in the middle west where the
growth has been a3 rapid. EI Paso ap
parently has not been affected by the
European war as most of the middle
west and eastern cities have. There
seems to be more business now going
on In El Paso than many eastern cities
of twice the population. The city is also
deriving as much free publicity in the
eastern newspapers as any city in the
United States. The eastern papers were
all filled with accounts of the El Paso
Phoenix road race and I have been
reading many articles about the Ele
phant Butte dam. These advertisements
have every person in the east asking
about El Paso."
Tho outlook is very bright for the
cattlemen of the southwest at this
time," said John Hayes." Present indica
tions are that there will be no further
fightine in northern Mexico and the
cattle industry of that section of the
country, which has been greatly affect
ed, will again prosper. The northern
states of Mexico are among the finest i
cattle producing sections In the coun- !
try. Because of the revolutions the in
dustry has suffered and much of the
stock driven off and killed but now that
peace is soon to be restored large ship
ments of cattle from Mexico will bt- )
made through El Paso and other cities
along the border." .
"Everyone on the Pacific coast Is en- i
thusiastic over the Panama-Pacific ex- '
position to begin there on Feb. 24," said I
R. N. Davis, assistant passenger ticket
agent of the El Paso & Southwestern, I
who has returned from California.
"Business men of San Francisco are i
preparing for the biggest crowds that i
have ever thronged a city. There are i
thousands of daily visitors to the ex- '
position grounds to witness the progress
of work there on the buildings and see I
the various exhibits arrive and be ,
placed.
"I recently read of the passing
through El Paso of 14 cars of hops from
Washington state going to New Or
leans," said J. F. Dowllng. "There might
not be a very great market for hops
but hoDS will crow verv easily in the
El Paso valley, without any cultivation,
and I should think it might be a good
plan for the valley farmers to try rais
ing hops on their half cleared land.
Those 14 carloads of hops could have
come from the El Paso valley as well
as from Washington."
"If anyone wishes to see the Elephant
Butte dam before water is turned in,
they will have to make the trip within
the next few months," said E. W. L,
Polk. "The big concrete structure is
nearly completed, and will soon be
ready for service, a fact that is received
with enthusiasm by the Rio Grande val
ley farmers. But it will be covered with
water and the masonry hidden."

ORTUGAJU which has recently
shaken its fist at Germany from
a safe distance, is a small country
which has made deep dents In history
and geography in its time. It is not
as large as the state of New York and
often during its variegated career has
contained less than a million people.
Yet it has sung bass In the concert of
nations at times and has recently re
newed its youth by kicking out its
king, establishing a republic and join
ing the big European rough-house.
Portugal is located on the west side
of the Spanish peninsula and is a
sunny, picturesque country which sup
ports 5,000,000 people with less than
half of Its area. Its chief products are
wine, olives, fruits, onions and bull
fights. Some of the implements used
by the Portugese farmers were In
vented by the Romans and if a self
binder were Introduced in some pro
vinces the Inhabitants would climb
trees for safety when they saw it com
ing. Only 20 percent -of the Portu
gese can read or write; more than
half of them can sail a boat The
Portugese sardine fleet is composed
of 20,000 vessels and the Portugese
have been first class navigators for
five hundred years.
The Portugese first discovered the
way around the Cape of Good Hope
at a time when the reptiles In the
southern seas were supposed to be
more deadly than submarines. Four
hundred years ago the Portugese em
pire extended around the globe and
Portugese sailors were traveling over
oceans which were unsuspected by
other nations. However, the Portu
gese navy is not going to make much
trouble in the present war. It consists
of one rickety battleship and a few
gunboats and one German war cruiser

?r almost three hundred years. At
the end of this time Brazil was so much
bigger than Portugal that a dispute
arose as to which country owned the
other and Portugal barely escaped
with Its independence. The Portuguese
have always had a hard time with their
kings and have started out with a re
public knowing as little about self
government as a missionary does about
aeroplanes. But they have got along
four years with only a few minor rev
olutions and are very hopeful.
Portugal has one great city, Lisbon,
celebrated for its earthquakes. It also
has better roads than America, but this
is almost an unnecessary statement.

Sample. "The rumor that the brigade
wn.fi to return to its home station has
i been current at frequent intervals. Of
course, no one can say just wnat may
be ordered by the war department but
it Is not probable that the troops will
be removed from the border until ofthe
Mexican situation is much more settled
than at present As there ara prac
tically no troops in San Francisco now,
that city is naturally most anxious to
have the eighth brigade returned to its

sent to take part In the fair, but at
present it does not look as though the
eighth brigade will be moved."
Dickens On the Stage
H
THEY are putting David Copperfield on the stage in New York, to tie alternate
delight and disappointment of Dickens lovers. Danl Peggotty, they say,
is all that could be desired, but Betsy Trotwood is decidedly lacking in
ginger, little Emily is far from the inspiration that Dickens gives'her sweetness,
Mrs. Gummidge is no more than tolerable, and Mr. Micawber is flat and stale.
There is probably no author who has written more human people down in a
book than Dickens, no author who is more difficult to dramatize, no author who
would be more profitable if he could be successfully dramatized, because Dickens
reaches the heart. He can make folks cry or laugh, he can scare them nearly
out of their wits, he can make them hungry, and make them hilarious.
And no author has a finer, longer pageant of distinctly marked characters in
a story. Richard Mansfield made a heroic and magnificent pageant out of
Shakspere's Henry V by heaping splendor on splendor about the young king
But Dickens crowds his folks in, the sad and the gay,, the rich and the poor, the
queer and the ordinary. In the play as given in New York, one of the best parts
is the prelude when each character silhouettes himself behind a screen and the
audience recognizes them as they pass.

NCE upon a time there lived in dog bojs and girls and tell them all
Tabbyland a white rabbit named sorts of silly things about their very
Cottontail. He lived bv him
self, and thought that everything that
he did was Just exactly right, and that
everything other folks did was some
how a little bit wrong.
He was continually writing letters to
the people in Tabbyland about what
they did do, and what they did not do,
and whether or not their children mind
ed as they should.
Although he was a bachelor bunny,
he made most of the trouble In Tab
byland, and it always took some time
to straighten it out He was so quiet
and seemed so inoffensive that no one
paid much attention to him, and never
thought of him as the maker of the
trouble until usually the very last mo
ment after everyone else had been ac
cused. He never signed his name to these
complaining letters, which was a very
cowardly thing to do. So the people in
Tabbyland always suspected him of
writing them, but could never prove
that he did It
He skipped about like a shadow from
fence to fence, and saw everything
that went on. Then he would write
to the parents of the kitty boys and
? own children.
Now, every day Tommy Tabby or
some member of the Tabby family
went to see Granny Tabby, a very
old kitty cat who lived down the road.
They usually went out of the back door
and always came back with a bundle.
Sometimes they carried carrots, or
fruit, or vegetables, but they always
had something.
Cottontail never stopped to see where
they went, but he was always on hand
to see that a package was carried back.
He hid in the big hedge one day when
Tommy Tabby left the house. He was
still there an hour later when Tommy
returned. In his arms he carried a
huge bunch of yellow chrysanthemums.
That was the last straw. Tom Tabby
had been stealing. Cottontail was sure
of it Where else would a kitty boy
who was too young to have a sweet
heart get a boquet of flowers, the pret
tiest ones he had eTcr seen.
Cottontail hopped home, his nose
wiggling, and his eyes rolling, and his
heart beating like a trip hammer. With
trembling paws he got out the Ink. He
was going to write to Mrs. Tabby. Pen
In hand he leaned over the table. Soon
the letter was written, telling how sad
it made the writer to tell Mrs. Tabby
that Tommy had been seen with flow-
TJT how do you know I am not
a vegetarian?" marvelled the
slender woman In Mohawk
green.
"Because It is meet that yon
shouldn't be," explained the great de
tective. "Oh, meet meat I see!" she ex
claimed. "How perfectly outlandishly
simple, now that I know It I trust
you will find my pickle and pretzel
mystery as simple, but I doubt it Ev
ery morning for the past week, I have
found, upon arising, that my bedroom
floor is littered with pickles, little
round pretzels, and sometimes various
sorts of crackers. They are not there
at night when I retire, and my hus
band denies all knowledge of them. I
feel that it is some omen of evil, some
sign of the black hand or something.
If you are able to explain this delica
tessen visitation, as I might call it I
am willing to pay $15."
The great defective pondered.
"What is your telephone number?"
he asked suddenly.
"Why Friday 1311."
"Thank you." And the great de
tective, exesing himself, disappeared
Into his telephone booth and called
Friday 1311. His visitor's husband an
swered the 'phone.
"Your wife has informed me of tho
pickles and pretzels," said the grat
detective. "What do you offer if I
keep the news from her that you have
been coming home soused every night?"
"Twenty-five bones," came the
prompt answer.
"Send it in stamps," said the great
detective, and returned to his visitor,
remarking. "Very sorry, madam, but
I cannot do anything for you. Your
case is unsolveable."
