When the premium list of the
El Paso Fair Association was re-
ceived here, it was quickly noticed
by a number of local stock raisers
that no provision had been made
for those who desired to exhibit
range or grass fed animals; only
stall fed animals being mentioned.
With the view of remedying this
matter it was referred to the Com-
mercial Club for action. Secretary
Yates was instructed to take the
matter up with the Fair Associa-
tion and the following letter re-
ceived Wednesday morning is
the result of his efforts:

most charming hostess and this
entertainment was no exception
to the rule.
A very delightful dance was
given at the skating rink last Fri-
day night by the young men of
Alpine, complimentary to the
young ladies. While it was an
impromptu affair, there were
more than a dozen couples out
and not until in the wee hours
did the music cease.
Mr. A. A. Smith and Mrs.
Virdie Hilger were married at the
residence of Mr. Gordon Hollo-
way Monday night, Judge Re-
gan officiating. The marriage
was a very quiet affair only the
close friends of the contracting
parties being present.

we should all co-operate, when we know it is as

the most enthusiastic gatherings ever held here and
it is safe to predict that within the next two years,
we can say to the outside world that our population
has been doubled.
The gathering was a representative one from
every standpoint. Think of a city with only 2,000
inhabitants having a commercial club with a mem-
bership exceeding one hundred members. There
is not another town or city in the State in pro-
portion to its population that can show a larger
organization of its kind with as great a membership
as this one and it reflects much credit not only
on our hustling citizenship but speaks volumns for
the energetic soliciting committee who worked day
after day to accomplish their aim.

Dellelous Doughnuts.
. If you like crisp, flaky doughnuts,
richly browned, and yet with not a sus-
picion of greasiness, try the following
recipe by Mrs. Mary J. Lincoln:
Beat one cup sugar and two eggs very
light, add one teaspoon melted Cottolene,
one cup sour milk, and one-fourth level
teaspoon each of cinnamon and salt. Mix
one-half level teaspoon soda and one scant
teaspoon of baking powder with one cup
1 our, stir it in and add more flour till stiff
enough to roll out. Have as soft as pos-
sible to roll, one-third inch thick. Cut
into rings and cook in hot, deep Cottolene.
The fat should be hot enough for the
dough to rise to the top immediately.
Doughnuts fried in lard lie like lead
©n the stomach; lard is indigestible.
Cottolene, on the contrary, makes food
that even an infant can digest with ease.
