W more than 500 pupils should have two supervisors schools having less than
5M pupilsi on superVisor. On this basis the 12 school playgrounds would entail
a cot of $4050 a year for supervision. Perishable supplies are estimated at
S50?year- for each school total $600. It is expected that permanent equipment

Siramnnds. An effort will be made to secure a large play field somewhere in
the northeastern part of the city in addition to existing publicly owned spaces.

intendent of recreation will be necessary at a salary of about $2500. Total
covering all the various activities $15000. ....
So much of interest has developed during the meetings of the citizens com-
mittees now working on the recreation survey and plan that it Is to be regretted
that the general public could not have had the full benefit of the discussions.
Not only has the need been made plain by the facts brought out but the far
reaching possibilities of the movement have been emphasized. For one thing
everybody agrees that the playground system should be so developed that it would
be useful to and used by adult men and women as well as children and by all
who do not attend school as well as by the school children. Every effort will
be made to devise a plan that will afford delightful facilities for normal recrea-
tion to grown boys and girls who work all day and to mothers and fathers of
families.
The survey develops the fact that some $700000 or $800000 worth of public
property in school plant and park spaces is used to only a fraction of its possible
employment and means will be sought to correct this poor economy by utilizing
the facilities and filling in the idle hours days and months.
The present movement having the enthusiastic support of all bids fair t
move steadilv forward to the successful establishment of 'a thorough system of

A Valley Development Plan
FELIX MARTINEZ'S plan for a cooperative organization to lend money to
actual farmers for development purposes appears to be feasible and is
certainly most timely. The regular banks do not especially care for this
class of business largely because the loans are made on extended terms and the
turnover is not fast enough to make it a real banking proposition. But the se--cunty
is as sound as the credit of the United States government and private in-
vestors cooperating can greatly benefit both themselves and the whole com-
munity by taking up the problem in a big way.
The idea is to make up a loan fund by annual payments. If a few hundred
individuals and business concerns cooperate in this plan each setting aside a
sum each year as savings for investment purposes it should not be hard to raise
a fund of $30000 to $50000 per year to be used for loans to actual farmers.
The loans would be made for development 'purposes solely for investment in
breeding stock dairy cows machinery farm stock permanent structures- etc
thus enabling the farmer to devote his capital and energies for a few years while
getting started to clearing his title and carrying his crops.
The plan will be worth trying if only 'to demonstrate the need and the
wisdom of establishing here a land bank on a large scale. It cannot be long be-
fore capitalists will see the opportunity here for the profitable investment of
millions of capital. The cooperative plan of financing the fanners now suggested
will probably develop into a regular mortgage bank business dealing especially
with valley problems. It will in no way interfere with or compete with existing
banking institutions but will rather relieve the pressure on them and there is no
reason why the plan should not have the enthusiastic cooperation of the local
banks. .
All local business houses that expect to have dealings with valley settlers Of
to profit by the agricultural development should lend their active aid in furthering
a project to assist colonization and hasten the day when the valley will be put
to the maximum productive use.

"A!
S FAR as I have been able to
learn our serenade for The El
Paso Herald Saturday was the
first serenade ever rendered for a news-
paper In the history of army bands"
said bandmaster Charles H. Wadding-
ton of the 2Sd infantry. "I can stato
positively It Is the first time a news-
paper has been serenaded In the history"
of this regiment and The Herald Is
certainly the only newspaper we would
turn out In the rain to serenade. In
addition. El Paso is the only city where
we would voluntarily parade through
rain. We turned out entirely of our
own accord. And we turned out be-
cause we fully appreciate the treatment
accorded us by the citizens of El Paso
and. particularly of the treatment
which we received at the Bands of The
Herald. The one wish of every man In
the regiment is that we be permanently
assigned to .EI Paso. Many of the men
have subscribed for The Herald to be
sent them at Naco as they wish to keep
In as close touch as possible with El
Paso."
"I have hunted in every section of
the country ever since I was able to
carry a gun" said Dave Andrew a
pioneer of El Paso "and I have never
seen small game so plentiful as It is in
Texas this year particularly In the
vicinity of Canutlllo. There Is so much
small gnme up there that there could
be no excuse for anyone starving in
that region for a person could take a
stick and get enough for a meal at any
time. I shall certainly make that re-
gion my hunting grounds for hunting
this season."
"El Paso should get back of the Sym-
phony orchestra" said A. F. Sievers.
"The opportunity to hear good music
that is given in the Symphony orches-
tra concerts is a splendid thing for a
community. The orchestra should be
given the hearty support of the music
loving people of El Paso."
"Much favorable comment has been
caused by the large pictures of the
'Nativity" which have been posted about
the city for the Christmas season" said
Ray McClintock. "The posters are sup-
plied by the Poster Advertising associ-
ation and the billpostlng companies in
each city furnish the space and the
J work free. The posters are a part of
an educational uplift plan of tne asso-
ciation. The pictures shown are of
very good artistic value and are free
from any kind of advertising."
"The fact that large works have been
going on in and around El Paso during
the Dast several years nuttlnc mer
chants and other business men in good
condition financially. Is helping EI
Paso" said Horace B. Stevens. "Now
as the Elephant Butte dam work is
nearing completion also the work at
Fort Bliss and the big work of the
reclamation service in the valley is
about to commence will create a
good payroll and contribute to the
prosperity of the city. We have nad
some disappointments as a result or
the European war but' certainly we
have much to be thankful for."
"My sympathies are with the boys
who work and I never fail to assess a
stiff fine against the fellow who steals
a boy's wheel" said recorder Ballard
Coldwell of the corporation court after
he had fined a Mexican $150 for at-
tempting to make way with a bicycle
belonging to a poor boy. "The little
fellows who deliver messages and run
errands are frequently contributing to
the support of a mother or. sisters and
any man who would steal'from them Is
deserving of no sympathy and gets
none from me."

Christmas Presents
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old Slwash."
CHRISTMAS gift Is a contriv-
ance for making a person glad
w alive on the 25th of De
A
cember.
This necessitates a wide variation In
the Christmas gift. Some people can
be made extremely happy and content
with an upholstered book St poems and
I souvenir card while bn the .other
hand it often takes a $500 'set of furs
and a perfrl necklace to coat a four
candle pSwer smile out of the young
woman of the family who has just
come home from a varnish ng school
where they puta hard metal finish on
the emotions. .
A 25 cent doll with curly hair Judic-
iously combined .with a two year old
girl will produce so much unalloyed
Joy on Christmas morning that the
overflow will illuminate a whole family
for hours: and a square meal with
turkey plavlng center on the menu will
often make the remnants of a man
brace up on Christmas afternoon and
decide to tackle the rough old world
for one more dog fall. .. . .
Thus It will be seen that the Christ-
mas present is extremely useful. Yet
nothing is more dangerous in careless
hands. In addition to a . k nd heart
brains must be liberally applied to the
task of picking out presents. The world
on Christmas morning is full or tired
and discouraged fathers who are try-
ing to explain to their eager wives and
daughters that they really do not care
to smoke for a day- or two and that
the doctor has forbidden them to wear
crocheted neckties for fear of over
protecting the throat. Too many of U3

loved ones and then stand around with
a firm determined air until they con-
sent to enjoy them no matter how
much suffering it may entail.
Picking out Christmas presents e-
qulres great tact. We should not at-
tempt to awe a rich friend with tho
said T. S. Settle. "To be. a success this
movement must have the hearty sup-
port of the commanity and I have been
assured of this. The work necessarily
takes time as all sections of the city
have to be covered as to their recrea-
tion and playground needs. There is a
great deal of investigation to be done
but this is being put in shape as rapid-
ly an possible and I have every hope
that a comprehensive system will soon
b ready for submission to the com-
mittee." "One of the peculiar features of the
constant changes of government in
Mexico City during the past few months
is the persistency with which each side
as it comes into control establishes a
government paper." said C. I Lane.
"The old 'El Imparclal was changed to
'El Liberal' by Carranza. When he
evacuated the city temporary authori-
ties continued to issue the paper but
under the name of 'El National.' Then
the Zapata and Villa forces came in
and without losing an issue the paper
appeared as 'EI Monitor.' Violent anti-
Villa editorials of one day were e
placed by equally violent antl-Carranza
articles the next so rapid was the
change In government"

Students of tne El Paso Schools
GREATER importance is being placed every year in the manual training
ami domestic science work of the public schools. This year an effort
has been made to extend the manual training work into vocational
training work and the introduction of the printing plant has been the first
of these classes to be started. .
The printing plant which is well equipped oecupis the tower room at
the Bailey school. Pupils from the upper grades of all the schools attend the
classes and are learning to do good printing. The pupils hare recently com-
pleted the printing of a directory of all the teachers of the arious schools
with their grades addresses and phone" numMn. The pupils have also printed
all of the school reports guides and teachers' outlines and much other neat
work.

TOM TABBY put his paws in his
pockets and pulled his cap down
over his eyes and mussed up his
ears in the most ajful manner as he
did so. He did not care about that
though. He had other things to wor-
ry him. Try as he might it did not
sseem possible for him to be good be-
fore Christmas.
He just seemed to change lull Into
naughtiness "and to get caught every
single time. He decided t last that
It was only when he played with nis
kitty sisters and brothers that he got
Into trouble.
So he went off by himself wandered
down at the back of the lot and looked
at the small playhouse which stood
there. It was not such a little play-
house after all for It had once been
used when the tabbies were very small
as their own home but when a great
big house appeared one day in Tabby-
land they moved into it and left the
smaller house for playthings and odds
fand ends of toys. They called It the
shed but it had really been a very re-
spectable looking playhouse In its day.
He looked at the open door in the
front and then walked around to the
back. There sat the rest of the Tab-
by family on the ground. In front of
them was a small pile of wood and
they were evidently trying to make a
fire.
"Oh all the sneaks!" Tom cried
angry to think that they had run away
from him. "But you said you did not
not want to get into trouble by play-
ing with us" Tottle said as she stood
up and ran to Tom.
"Come and.malte the firebuca for

they were in the house it wiggled and

And then it jerked away and came
back stronger than ever and the next

By that time the fire was running

after them scarcely less excited.

PLANS FOR FARMERS' LOAN
ASSOCIATION BEING MADE
Plans for the formation of a Farm-
er's Loan association are being dis-
cussed at a meeting of El Paso business
men this afternoon at the chamber of
commerce. It is the belief of those
behind the movement that the agricul-
tural district around El Paso can be
thoroughly and economically developed
but that to secure the best class of set-
tlers farmers must be assured of fi-
nancial support This it is planned
the new association will take care of.
Prior to its business session tfie
meeting was addressed by R. S. Person
