i
William E. Mix, delegate to
' Advertising Convention, De
scribes Conditions on
the Border
-TOO COWARDLY TO FIGHT"
Herd Is a story fit conditions atone the
Mexican border, told by a man who has been
in the hotbed of the trouble since 1910. Ha
!i WIIHnm E. Mix, a tall, wiry, sunburned
inn of Texas, who halls from El Paso,
where ho Is known as the president of the
Tahbun Mix Company, builders. Mr. Mix
left tho border several days ngo to attend
the adertlslng convention In this city, and
la nt the Adelphla Hotel.
"A great deal of uncertainly Is apparent
along the border. We do not fear any con
cenlrntcd attack by tho Mexican forces, only
occasional raids ly Binall bands. They are
too cowardly to mako any open fight and I
don't bellovo there will be a real battle dur
ing the entire conflict." said Mr. Mix this
morning. He expects tho Mexican forces to
take to the hills and that tho United States
troops -will have to patrol tho entire coun
try for a number of years.
Mr. Mix Bald! "It will talto considerable
time to chaso tho wnndorlng bands of brig
ands from tho hills, but tho mntter has been
greatly simplified by tho Bplendld response
of tho cattle men In Tcxns and mining men,
who know Mexico nnd nil Its hidden trails,
to lend tho lnvndlng forces through tho
country. Thcso men havo spent a great
portion of their llea nmong tho Mexican
hills nnd tho peons. They know their traits
and many of tho hiding places. General
Funston has also assembled tho few remain
ing Apacho Indians for trailing duty.
"Of tho 71,000 Inhabitants of tho city of
El Paso at least 30,000 are Mexicans. A
largo portion of theso nro good men and
loyal to tho United StatoH, and I believe
they can bo depended upon In time of
trouble," continued Mr. Mix. Somo of tho
Mexicans referred to nro descendants of
early settlers who Inhabited that section
long before our Revolutionary War.
The poor, uneducated peon for the last
six years has lived with only a gun In his
hand and a belt filled with cartridges. Ho
has stolen his food. During theso years
they havo learned to exist without working.
This accounts' for tho constant warfare,
If captured by ono lender, they humblo
themselves to tho new master nnd serve
him faithfully until recaptured by a. new
leader. It Is a sort of continuous per
formance. They don't know any better.
"United States troopers nro dally flood
ing tho entire border. In El Taso they hae
occupied oVcry vacant lot for1 camping pur
poses. This has given much confidence to
the residents, and business, which has been
only slightly retarded by tho recent trouble.
has resumed with added gusto."
"LOOK PLEASANT," CRY

, If a man suddenly pops In front of you
and snaps your picture within kodak, do

--when they return.
As this Is contention week, It Is permis
sible, many of our fair ones admit, though
a little unconventional. Therefore they
pose willingly when they see nny of tho
kodak brigade from Rochester looming up
before them.
Tho boys from Rochester had a strenu
ous time reaching here. The engine at
tached to their special stalled near Pitts
ton and they were pushed In by the milk
train. They declare, hove'cr, that It was
A ell worth tho trouble,
Speaking of this city nnd its features.
Prank A. Wood, ndcrtlslng manager of
tho Rochester "Evening Times, Bald the
people of Rochester were much Impressed
with the Ledgers of Philadelphia and re

, Ad Men's Chronicles
Nothing can stop an nd man when he's
mad.
When It comes to three ad men all mad
at tho same time tho situation1 Is still more
serious.
Imagine the feeling of the three New
York adsters when they found that two
laiy printers had Interfered with one of
their pet plans for the convention.
Qettlng down to brass tacks, the situ
ation was this, ,
They had. arranged to Issue a funny cir
cular telling of some of the good things
about the New York" Ad Club and why
It Is one of the things worth while.
The ad men Intended to distribute the
circulars around the various hotels yes
terday. On leaving the big parade they were
tired and weary after" their 100-mile tramp,
and went to the, office of a printer on
Eansom street, expecting to gather up the
literature as promised.
But what they found was simply the
blank paper ready for the type and nothing
WM fc rnL
more. The printers, all togged out In Peau
Brummel clothes, were walking about the
place twirling canes.
In vain the Jfew Yorkers told the printers
that they simply must have the circulars
Immediately
"Can't be done," said the printers In
chorus
Each pf the Gothamltes got the same Idea
at the sama moment - Forgetting that they
held big Jobs In New York which was a
long distance frora,ettlng type, the dele
gates peeled off their fancy coats and got
to work.
Ab they set up line after tine of YV
the visitors, eave no thought to their silk
shirts and fancy ties. They worked allj
inruugn me wee noura ana men startea in
tress.
TUejf made the ink fly in all direction,
du there was no time to consider damage.
It was near time for breakfast when the
&o was done. It left them resembling
Chimney cleaners. There wers no soap and
water to be found, so tho men wandered
Nek 'to the Adelphla and got upstair
stealthily "Jt's a,wful the -ayvjhe autos
Plasa you Up in this town," said one
fchen. a slerk eyed, the trio suspiciously. ,
They berated themselves from the lak
er kohib. bard scrubbing.

Editor From Manila
N. Lyons, of Manila, Philippine Islands,
editor of one of the three American news
papers' the Manila Dally Uullettn, Is a.
delegate to the advcrtlslng'convontlon from

"The rale of shoes In Manila has In
creased GOO per, cent," said Mr. Lyons.
"There nre 600,000 natives attending school,
and as thoy learn they acquire the deslra
for footwear. But the shoes they buy are
not American shoes, except In small pro
portion. Tho American shoe manufacturers
are not nwnko to the opportunity. The
shoes bolng sold nro nearly all foreign
makes. My tip to American manufac
turers In this and other lines would be to
cultivate the Philippine market. They pre
fer to buy of Americans.
"It la nn American colony and the
people aro rapidly becoming AmerlcnnUed.
Tho language Is now spoken by n big per
centage of the population. The Spanish
printed newspapers of the town are using
Amorlcnh newspnper methods In present
ing their news and In digesting tho news
In the headlines, something they never did
before. The people, In fact, nro rapidly
taking on new habits of Industry and are
acquiring means and education nt a, great
pace.
"The opportunity for necktie manufac
turers is great The natives nre taking to
patriotic socks nnd ties like a duck to
watw. Like all people of tropical countries,
they hao u taste for bright colors.
"Tho well to-do natives, nnd the number
Is Increasing, Are going In for automobiles.
It would ni't be Btilt(-?ing It to say that
tlity aro wild ubout limn.

Men Who Offer Rich
Southern Melodies

The Atlanta nd men bonst n $8,000,000
quintet four vocalists nnd a piano wliard
chosen from the members of tho Atlanta
club. Their mellow Southern harmonies
were (list heard In this city nt tho general
meeting of tho convention Mondny. Since
that time they have proved one of tho real
musical treats of tho week. From early
morning to night their renditions of char
acteristic songs have filled tho lobby of the
Adelphla Hotel, whero the delegation has
headquarters, nusy Chestnut street pedes
trians arc continually stopping long enough
to catch strains from the hotel.
The flvo members of the famed Southern
musical body, It was learned, do not repre
sent lil round figures $S.O00,C0O. That Is
the valus placed on their services bjvth
Atlanta club and the residents of the city
They carry wltJt them as many press clip

Tomorrow evening they will be heard at U
cabaret nt the RlU-Cftrlton under the Aus
pices of the Baltimore Bnd Atlanta, Mtt.
tlons. It Is said that theso vocalists can reach
In range from the lowest note on the piano
keyboard to high F above high C. It this
Is true the famed Caruso has been out
stripped by three high notes.
Tho singers are under the direction of"
Paul Crutchfield, first tenor. According 10
Mr. Crutchfield, quartets In Atlanta can be
counted vjjy tho hundreds. Each body of
harmonlitrs before passing through the or
dinary class must pass through what Is
known In the South as "the alley course,"
namely, practicing nmong the street urchins
nnd listening to the wandering vocalist
who roam the side Btreets In Atlanta every
evening.
"Wo get real harmony, the soft, close
harmony which Is successfully acquired only
below tho Mason and Dixon line," said Mr,
Crutchfield. Tho $5,000,000 quintet has
