More like their father than the others is Son Eugene Alexander Howe who ran the Atchison Globe for twelve years after Ed Howe left, then moved to Amarillo, Tex. to start a chain of papers of his own.

S. dedicated to St. Therese de Lisieux ("Little Flower"). In Amarillo diocese he built 35. In Santa Fe he now looks toward restoring old churches and shrines, installing their relics and treasures in proper fireproof vaults and cases. He will also apply himself to education (he has been president of Amarillo's Price Memorial College). An obstacle to him will be New Mexico...
