were five-room cottages. At the first

the Panhandle of Texas. After a
hasty glance at the old frame Santa
Fe station, and the “Bowery" oppo-
site. I though with dismay, “So this
is Amarillo!" I had never even heard
of the town until told that we were
coming here to live, for a short time
only.
After reaching here the question
was, where to live. Our first
thoughts turned to the old frame
Amarillo hotel, so we sallied forth
with our handbags. To par amaze-
ment we fouad the manager sitting
with his guests, around a big stove
la the lobby, a resting plaee for his
1 feet, which he did not remove while
’ being interviewed by us about ac-
' commodations. Finally we persuaded
Bunnell, Ma Baa* Sixth; Glenn Allen
Inge yellow, even his horns.
There were three railroads enter-
ing Amarille then, which with its
wonderful climate, its progressive
people and ita broad trade area that
it controls between Fort Worth and
Denver, Wichita, Kansas, and Albu-
querque, has made Amarillo the
Queen City of the plains.
Captain Marey was mistaken when
ia 1848, he biased the trail through
the Panhandle and said, that it was
"only fit for Indians and buffalo."
Time has proven otherwise.
Hardships were very great, but
somehow, we like others, stayed on,
because there was a fascination
about the newness of this vast Pan-
handle country that was irresistable.
New when I look back upon it, I am
proud to have been a pioneer of the
glorious Llano Estacado.

Mr. Brazington pointed eat that.
among the hundreds of children re-
turning to the school room during
September will be many little ones
who for the first time are leaving the
protection and safety of their homes
to attend school. “They deserve the
protection of every motorist," he eon-
tinned.
“While mothers ar* preparing

members of the family to attend,
school, the fathers should give atten-
tion to their ears to see Uet the I
born is functioning properly; that

and that the ear generally ia working
efficiently.
“At Ue time, the ear owner should
be always ea the alert for signs in
