Wichita Falls, Texas. March 15,1917
China has been regarded as the
sloth among nations. Every other na-
tion has imposed upon China and ev-
ery other people impose on the Chi-
nese. But there are signs that China
is awakening. China has not only
severed diplomatic relations with Ger-
many, but has gone a step further
even than the United States, and has
seised German ships in Chinese har
bors. China has’nt let grass grow
under her feet and has acted with a
decision and promptness that forms
a striking contrast with some other
neutrals. If China is prepared to go
as far as she can in this matter with
Germany, she will win respect among
the civilized nations.
It has been only a few years since
most residence grounds in Wichita
Falls were conspicious for their bare-
ness and ugliness. Wichita Falls
women—the women ought to have
the credit— with aesthetic aspiration,
and industry, have, with the aid of
very efficient water service, trans-
formed this ugliness into places of
delight and beauty. Wichita Falls is
becoming known as a city of roses
and flowers and beautiful lawns, sur
passing many cities in this respect
whose nstural advantages are immeas
urably greater. After the first good
rain, Nature will have a Style Show
in Wichita Falls that will be one ol
surpassing beauty.
Wooden ships are again to be built
in large numbers in this country. The
submarine menace is responsible for
the revival of the wooden ship. The
situation calls for the immediate build
ing of a big fleet of small merchant-
men in this country. The need can-
net be supplied by steel shipbuilders
alone. Steel also is needed for many
other things. The builders of wooden
ships have been called upon in the
emergency. Their yards are capable
of expansion and they can soon be
turning out stout and seaworthy ves-
sels in large numbers. In the days
before the supremacy of the steel
ships, the shipyards along the New
England coast were the busiest places
in the world. The American merchant
marine swarmed the seven seas and

The disclosure of the Zimmerman
note was s' shock to Americans In
stead of the beginning of efforts to
alienate Mexico and get her into ac-
tive warfare with the United States,
the Zimmerman note now appears to
have been the final instructions for
binding a pact that, while it had not
been given definite form, had been
brought to a point where the im-
perial government was satisfied, from
the reports of Ita agents, that what
was a feeling and understanding was
ready to be put into words and deeds.

■ ‘ THE GEM TODAY
The display of beautiful garments,
and the large and varied stocks ct
Wichita Falls merchants which are
opened to the view of the public this
Style Show Week, will suggest to
many the contrast of a few years back.
Wichita Falls merchants then were
abreast of the town, but their stocks
were meager and poor, indeed. in com-,
parison with tbc showing of today.
Then there was fear of Fort Worth
or Dallas capturing the retail trade
of Wichita Falls. Now, nobody must
go to these larger-cities for the latest
and best in clothing They can find
it right here in Wichita Falls. Wich
its Falls has progressed wonderfully
as a retail trade center within the
past few years. Instead of Wichita
Falls folks going out of town to buy
their clothing, we now find people
for miles around, who formerly went
to Dallas and Fort Worth, coming in
Wichita Falls. Merchants of Wichita
Falls have lived up to their opportuni-
ties. They have enlarged their stocks
and added new lines, even before cus-
tomera ware in sight. They are mak-
ins Wichita Falls a great retail cen-
ter, just as others sre making it a
wholesale and manufacturing center.
In rendering praises for good work
for Wichita Falls, we should not for-
get Wichita Falls merchants.
