lor years.
It lias been said by United States reclamation officials
that there, is so instance in the United States where a
corocitmity has so far completely failed to meet the situa
tion as the Rio Grande valley has. Here the great Ele
phant Butte protect has been completed for several years
and scarcely half the acreage it is susceptible of irrigating
is tmaer cultivation-
fl Credit To The Mans Wife.
IK crediting a roan for his achievements, look to the woman
also. Perhaps his wife deserves a share in the praise.
Maybe she gave him the idea. Perhaps she urged him on
when, tired, he was about to quit. Maybe she renewed his
courage when, discouraged, he was abont to fail.
As a woman may rain a man. so, also, she may help .
Very httle of the land now being I make him. She may furnish him inspiration and energy.
farmed is is the hands of the small heme owner, the real She may add to his strength. She may quicken his fore-,
cause of the prosperity of any community.
What 1 Paso must do to get these lands settled is to
give publicity to their existence; to place such a price
upon them that the man of small means can buy them and
then make a living and pay for them. We don't want and
sever win get wealthy men to take hold of the valley lands.
This means a system of tenantry that has sever bred pros
perity. The man who has a small sum to invest, who is
waling to work to make a Hving and a home for himself
and his family, is the mas we want, the man we must
have if valley farming is to be a success; if 1 Paso is to
benefit from this great irrigation enterprise as we have
hoped and dreamed that we were to benefit from it.
To get these citizens, we must go to he sections of the
United States where people are dissatisfied with present
conditions, show them that they can better themselves
here, and then help the; to get established here. This is
going to take money; it is going to require publicity and
hard work. We have the drainage work well under way
and can care for all who wish to come.
It is admitted that the home owner has made El Paso
the substantial community that it is. El Paso was sever
so prosperous, sever so bound together as it is today ana
there was sever a time when there was such a large per
centage of home owners, of taxpayers. A man who in
vests in a home and then bends his efforts to paying for
it is a man who takes as interest in the affairs of the
community. He realises his importance as a stockholder
is the great governing institution and takes a nana is its
direction. He becomes a better mas; the community be
comes better for having him.
The same appKes to the valley. Until we fin the lands
about El Paso with fathers who are making permanent
homes for their sons and daughters, we win not have es
tablished that prosperity which the rich lands about us
should bring to us. A community of tenants is a failure
anywhere; this is particularly true of such high priced
land as we have here. We must get in people who will
take an interest sot only in making a crop from year to
year, but who wfll be interested in building up homes fcr
the future. It is going to be a serious work, a long work,
sight and ratify, or correct, his judgments. She may be
his wife, his mother, or just his friend. Whoever she may
be her influence, silent and unseen so far as the world is
concerned, is at work. Let her be praised.
Most often the wife directs a man's destinies after his
maturity. Few young men, before marriage, view life
through serious eyes. Responsibility is not upon them.
Failing, none suffers but themselves and light heartedly
they pass on to a fresh attempt and perhaps another loss.
Harried men of right minds feel as obligation always
to succeed. The welfare of home and loved ones is .inter
woven with business or professional success. If employed,
such a T"" cannot allow himself to fail He must go on
and up. If in business on his own account, the same in
centive to achieve is his. He feels the spur. It is then he
is most receptive to the aid his wife can give.
As a Tnn feels his earning power must be increased
when the sew baby comes to his household and often he i
does somehow increase it just so many a man goes signer
s-n accomplishes more through his wife"s suggestion, A
word of correction, a word of praise, a word cf suggestion
may avail much. It should be a pleasant word. No man
does wen when angered by sagging. Nor does he accom
plish most when worried by fault finding. Respect, help
fulness, encouragement and self restraint characterize an
ideal matrimonial team, in which two heads are better
than one.
o
Plant Trees This Spring.
Ft is almost tree planting rime. Get ready to put out
vnnrs. If everv one slanted trees. El Paso would soon
have thousands more than it sow has and the city would
be a great green grove, with houses among the trees, sur
rounded by the plains and the rocky hills. That would be
a great feature for El Pass. The city has a splendid loca
ting tu dinate-is excellent Its buildings are of the
best A glaring drawback is the lack of trees, especially
in the newer parts of the aty. And because El Paso has
crmwtT miSte. the newer parts of the city include a very

The rural credit system is going to help largely, but we j a jitter of course, even where trees have been

When two or mere people get together for a Httle

Some argue that tie cost of watering trees is almost j

which a child was repressed and cru

ural that a child wbo saw his father
sent Into exile into Siberia and bis
mother shot down la the door of her
home by the Cossacks should grow
to manhood with a hatred of govern

Texas, they would have made good
ertixeas. Many ot them would have
become public servants, some of them
would have become captains of Indus

which there was no human sympathy,
they grew to hate that world and the
men about them in that world.
