At the close ot the meeting Mr. Schwartz was appointed as chairman of a of 50 to call a meeting within the next week for permanent organization. The new organization got off to a flying start with suggestions of a score of things it can go after right away to boost the town.

Among them were: 1. Building a direct road to the Carlsbad Caverns, though we do spend our money outside the 2. Enlarging Fort Bliss. 3. Securing hydro-electric power development.

On election day the Democratic ckines, both city and countj, will be operating full blast plus the underworld vote of which they seem to have complete control. Can the voice of the people he heard above the corruption? We have no doubt that it can.

May Kozlosky, 19, and Mrs. Grace Carroll, 22, pretty cafeteria waitresses, who mysteriously disappeared Sunday night after being seen with two men who left the city in a large touring car. Relatives of the girls have joined in the search, working on a theory that the pretty young women were kidnaped after being doped in Juarez. W. W.

Reports that the young women were seen in Juarez last Sunday night gave officers a final clue with which to base their belief that the girls were kidnaped. The girls appeared to be drugged as they sat in the cafe, it was said, while immigration officers on the Santa Fc street bridge also said the girls appeared dazed as they returned to El Paso in company with the two men. Both of the young women, who have been employed at a cafeteria for six weeks, left without obtaining their wages, or giving notice of their intention to leave. Mrs. Carroll left a diamond ring at the cafe, her husband said.

Neither of the girls took any extra clothing away with them. Beliet that the girl" may have anticipated trouble is pointed out in the fact that Mrs. Kozlosky handed a maid at the Juarez cafe an insurance hook, asking her to deliver it to a life insurance agent in El Paso. Here From Illinois. Mrs.

Kozlosky lived with her husband, a soldier, at Fort Bliss. Her mother has joined hands with officers in an effort to locate the young women, although, officers say, the husband has made no effort in the hunt. Mr. Carroll, a mechanic, said Friday that he had resigned his job at the Tri-State Motor company to put in his entire time for the search. The two men.

whom officers are looking for, came to F.I Paso last week in a car bearing an Illinois license. After becoming acquainted with the girls, they disappeared from the hotel, where they vvere staging, without paying their hills, officers said. Deputy sheriff J. L.

SOIL ADAPTED TO PRODUCTION El Paso Realtor Calls Attention To Value of New Crop. ------CLAX, as an important crop in the El Paso valley, Is pre- dieted by C. M. Newman, El Paso realtor and colonizer of the Mennonite settlements in Chihuahua, Mexico. He says that there is no crop that finds a steadier market or which is better adapted to the soil and climate here than flax and the cotton men could grow flax with their cotton and have a very successful combination.

The Mennonites in Mexico produced a fine crop of flax seed this year and the soil and farming conditions in Chihiahu closely resemble those of the El Paso valley. The great demand for linseed oil in paints and the small amount of flax grown in this country has made it necessary for United States to import large quanities of linseed oil each year, government reports show. Much of the flax seed is also imported in the raw state. Flax Profitable. Production of flax seed, from which linseed oil is produced, averaged around 40 bushels to the acre on irrigated land in Chiuhuahua last year aud around 20 bushels to the acre on unirrigated land.

The Mennonites sold their crop for around $3 per bushel, which gave them fully as good a return as one could hope to get from cotton. The Mennonites have always produced much flax. Long before their colonization in Mexico they introduced flax growing into Canada and the Dakotas. Primarily they planted flax for the licen that their women spun into cloth and this is still done, but a variety of flax is now grown that is rich in oil. It is for the oil content that they grow the large share of their crop now.

Adapted To Climate. Flax is well adapted to the climate here. It is very hardy and can stand cold weather after planting and around harvest time, Mr. Newman says. Hc adds that investigation has shown the local cotton seed mills can with a very little change press linseed oil from flax seed just as they press cottonseed oil from cotton seed.

The same buyers who took last crop from the Mennonites would be interested in handling any flax seed or linseed oil that the El Paso valley might produce, he asserts. Train Bulletin A11 trains are reported on time Friday. Near Death Cumberland, Oct. 29 I Mrs. A.

ERRIN, 111., Oct. 29 Three southern Illinois counties wondered today what the next move would be in the latest demonstration of animosity between the Birger and Shelton factions, with reports current that Carl Shelton, one of the leaders, had gone to visit a sick brother in Arkansas and that the other of the trio was 111 at his home in East St. Louis.

My sister, the grand duchess Cyril, had told me of the beauty of this city. I was already immensely impressed by the magnificent station. It looked like a great festive ball.

At the station we were received by the late ambassador to England, Mr. Kellogg, and his wife, in the name of the president. We were old friends, as we had met at lord and lady English home, Cliveden. Of course, as usual, we had to submit to our tyrants, the photographers, who flashed their light at us with all the sounds of battle. Escorted by a fine troop of cavalry we drove through the crowded streets and were given a warm welcome by the citizens of Washington, although it was a late hour and the day had been cold and rainy.

1 was amazed at tbe beauty of the white marble capito! with its splendid dome lighted up as though by moonlight. I never saw lighting more beautifully done. The light radiated as though the white stone itself was luminous and again 1 bowed before the ingenuity of the Americans. Because it was dark and I was in a closed motor I could not see much of the town, hut I saw the welcoming faces of the people. That was enough to cheer m.v heart.

A Mass of Red. We were taken to the Rumanian legation, a beautiful house with a lovely stone hall. I I staircase was one mass of glowing red dahlias. 1 never saw anything better done. I do not know to what florist Mr.

Djuvara had entrusted his work, but if he were by chance to read these lines, I would like him to know that both the artist and the gardener within me gloried over that enchanting mass of red. I was taken to my comfortable room and found it a bower of flowers which had been sent to me. I here was a basket of glorious white lilies and pale delphiniums and oh, the orchids, how lovely they were! And that beloved flower, the gardenia, which one seldom finds anywhere but in England and which is such a favorite of mine. I was not t'red at all in spite of all the emotions of the day, only I cannot say that my cold had im- nroved. Our only anxiety was to get our luggage in time so as to dress for dinner to which Mr.

vara had invited several diplomats and friends My children were in and out of my room, excited and joyful, discussing all the events, each giving an opinion upon all we had seen during this first eventful day. We already seemed to have lived so much, we had to make an effort to remember that in the morning we had been out on cur floating home, the Leviathan. Mr. dinner was elegant and the food he served us was deli, cious. Good cheer and animated conversation made it indeed a pleas- ant meal.

Our luggage had been brought to us in plenty of time. With Old Friends There was none of that tiring rush getting dressed, which so olten disturbs peace of mind when one is movin from place to place, lt was a Kood feeling to he among the old and valued friends of more tragic and strenuous days; Mr Nelson Cromwell, colonel Anderson, colonel Ament and others; all eager and ready to show me the more smiling side of life. Looking at their kindly faces, however, many a tragic or sad vision rose before my eyes. Had not colonel Anderson followed me through miles of hospitals where the sick and wounded often lay herded together, three in one bed? The marvelous aid of the American Red Cross had, in those 1 days, helped us to do wonders and to remedy, in part, conditions thal had overwhelmed us after our sad retreat to Jassy. Feeding Children.

And colonel Ament, then on the Hoover food we not traveled from village to village, organizing great food centers where the starving children could get two warm meals a day? How we had rejoiced over their happy little faces and when I looked at him over the flower-decked table, I knew he was thinking of the same things. And Mr. Nelson first time I met him was in Paris in 1919, among the war invalids and now we all sat together smiling at each other, happy to be thus peacefully united upon American ground.
