Luna County Likes Bush.

The progressive residents Of Luna
county shake hands with themselves
every morning on account of having
a lumberman who gives them a
square deal. The editor learned of
the stiff advance in lumber in every
city and town in this part Of the
territory and Texas, and when he
visited the Deming Lumber Com
pany's yard Saturday was agreeably
informed by Manager Bush that not
piece of lumber in their yard had
been advanced a cent, and was like
wise told that no advance would be
made on the present stock.
We bought it to sell at old
prices" said Bush, and are going
to keep faith with the people,"
When asked II he had been i'm
portuned by other dealers to raise
the price, he had to admit that he
had, but that all such overtures had
been turned down. This looked
good to the editor, and when we
asked how many days of grace"
the people had on cheap lumber,
the genial manager smiled and said;
"0h, about sixty" adding that If a
man intended to build this year he
had better order his stuff inside that
time. Mr.. Bush's motto is Dem.
ing, may she always be right; but
Deming, right or wrong"

Toothsome Topics

Following are some things the
parents should know about the care
of the childrens teeth.
No one has greater need for per-
feet teeth than the child. There is
the vestibule of human life, and
whatever enters there goes to build
up the bodily and mental strength,
which depends on perfect digestion
and assimilation, the decaying and
missing teeth cause a child to pollute
and bolt its food, thereby poisoning
the system and by insufficient masti-
cation giving the child bad breath,
palar indigestion.
To have that physical stamina that
Is so necessary to go through I h s
world one must have vigor and health
in childhood, and this is impossible
where defective teeth are present
Now the immediate reasons for
saving the deciduous,or commonly
called baby teeth are to prevent the
painful toothache so common among
children and to permit Of proper
mastication and the most important
to preserve the dental arch so the
permanent teeth will come in proper
form and not be decayed by q decay.
Ing baby tooth, approximating same
when 1t is erupting.
This important fact seems to have
been lost sight of by the medical
profession and sad to say by many
dentists. This neglect TO care for
and fill the temporary teeth is a
glaring shame, and is making its in
road on the teeth of our present and
future generation.
In the public schools of Brooklyn
where they have a dentist employed
to take care of the childrens teeth
out of 600 children examined in tn,
school only 10 did not need denta
attention. Every child fr o m tn
time it is two to three years of age
should visit the dentist at interval
of from 3 to 6 months and have II
teeth examiped and any necessar
cleaning or filing immediatel

JUVENILE INVENTORS

About two and a half years ago
Louie KEN got three worn out bat
teries from an old electric clock
brought TO the Tossell store for re-
pairs. About the same time Arno
Leopold and Fred Wyman had a
delapitated pocket search light, and
with added appliances and multiple
ed experience since that time they
now have three wireless telegraph
stations located at their respective
homes on Gold avenue. Pine and
Spruce streets.
The GRAPHIC editor made person
al investigation Saturday and can
vouch for the perfection of the sys-
TEN now in daily operation. Each
of the boys has his station for send
ing and receiving wireless messages,
and It is their purpose to strengthen
the batteries and elevate the receiv-
ing and sending wires so that mes
sages may pass many miles instead
of several blocks.
The boys are possessed of the
true inventive spirit and are like
wise fortunate in having gray mat.
ter concealed in their upper stories.
They read anything on wireless OF
any other kind of telegraphy OF
electricity and would actually rather
hatch out new idea than to sit

HOME SEEKERS
Of NEW MEXICO
Prize Grafton by George
Strickler on this I'm
portant Subject
A FINE PRODUCTION
And one Of Wide Interest
to Seekers of Desir-
able Homes.
\ FINE PRODUCTION

Far back in the dark avenues of
the past, a strange dusky people of
the frozen north-land grew discon-
tented with the cold, the ice, and
the snow of their wintry home, and
wandered southwark, searching for
a brighter, kinder cline, which
their wise men said lay far toward
the midday sun. They found
country to satisfy their every hearts
desire, where rugged mountains
sheltered sun-kissed valleys. That
country is known TO us today as
New Mexico; those people were the
first home-seekers of our territory.
Peaceful by nature and unmindful
Of danger, they built their homes in
the fertile plains and river valleys.
But the enemy came, warlike, no.
madic, Indian tribes, who drove the
newcomers back into the mountain
regions. Hunted to their last asy-
lum, and made desperate by their
danger, they ascended the precipit-
Gus sides of the cliffs and there
hewed out for themselves rude dwell
lings.
Generations came and went. The
long years, which brought about so
many eventful changes in Europe,
found them still among their cliffs.
The danger from the enemy lessen
ed. One by one their lofty homes
were abandoned and their little vii
lagos arose upon the mesas and the
plains, from whence their almost
forgotten ancestors had been driven
so many years before.
The abandoned homes, far up on
the cliffs rough sides, remain, to-
day, surrounded by all the romance
of mystery. They furnish the broad
outline from which to sketch the
picture of the strenuous life of
those first homeseekers of New Mex
leo. But that which gives shading
to the picture, the joy and the sor-
row, the gladness and the heart
ache of their daily lives, time has
erased forever. Tradition of the
New Mexican Indians, tell that into
the lives of these inhabitants of the
plains, decended from the cliff dwell
lers, a great fear came in later days,
a fear only two well founded. A
prophet, well know and beloved,
told the coming of a strange people
