When Mr. Davis first came to El
Paso, big herds of cattle from the
western plains were driven overland
to Newton, and from there were ship-

"When I came her everything was
quiet and peaceful," he said. “The

There were no 'killers’ here then;
just pioneers who came to develop the
country and not to shoot it up.

l'ne Rotary Club of Weatherford
will observe International Rotary
Boys Week. The program will start
Sunday morning when the pastors of
the city at the request of the com
mittee in charge of this work will
deliver addresses on the subject of
“The Boys of Our Community," in
whloh they will touch upon the sev-
eral phases of boy life. On Monday
morning appropriate addresses will
be delivered at several schools, and
on Tusday, the luncheon program
will be devoted to the boys. At this
time the sons of Rotaria(is in the
city will be the guests of their
fathers.
The committee is devoting consld
erable time to this program, and It
is by far the largest and the most
important program the Rotary Club
of this city has ever undertaken.
The International Association of
Rotary clubs, through the local or-
ganizations, composed of more than
80,000 business men of the world,
has made the boys a special subject
and 1* devoting time and attention
to the many problems confronting
the boys. The Individual club mem-
bers, realize fully the difficulties.
They know that the boys of today
will eventually take their places in
the business office and eventually
work up to the important positions
in the business world. In order to
be able to do this the boys must
have proper training. The boys most
understand the great responsibili-
ties that will eventually become stern
realities, which they must face. With
the idea of giving the boys inspira-
tion, these programs have been ar-
ranged.
Following the addresses at the
churches on Sunday, the following
program will be observed:
On Monday morning the high school
will be assembled and G. A. Hol-
land, Rotarian, and president of the
school board win address the pupil"
on the subject cf “What An Educa
tion Means to a Boy or a Girl.”
George Fant will speak on “The
Handicap of Poverty.”
Ward Bankhead will have fer hir
subject, “Boys in the Msu!h-”
