HOW that the holidays are over housekeepers all over the land
 are beginning to recoup from

@ TOW that the holidays are over INV housekeepers all over the land 4 are beginning to recoup from
 the extra demands upon time and strength and purse, in many in stances drafting out schedule which they propose to follow that their work may be simplhed. This is, of course, as it should be, for all housekeepers of ex- perience can but admit that without definite ideas regarding any course of action something is sure to be omitted.
 Conceding all this, however, is 1t not true that we housewives and mothers are often guilty of foolishly holding to our plans when they would be more honored i- the breach than in the observance? :? Occasions are constantly arising which should cause i1s to utterly ignore the carefully prepared schedule, and adopt in its place plan fitted to the occasion.
 That there is value in having a pro- gramme for each days work no one will more readily agree than does the writer of this article; but the plea IS for an adaptable, adjustable one.
 First of all, let us consider the every day conditions Perhaps there is noth- ing that women look upon as criterion of their work more than their washing and ironing. Each housewife is, as to methods, law unto herself; but almost all who are not dependent upon outside help are agreed that Monday is ike day for the work at the tub, while Tuesday must inevitably be spent in ironing the clothes which are piled white and dry in the basket.

New Postmaster at Estancia.

Nicholas d. Meyer, son of Sheriff
Meyer of Torrance county, has been
appointed post master at Estancia,
the county seat of that county.
Nicholas has named his sister,
Miss Anita, as assistant. These
bright young people six years ago
were going To school in Estancia,
and Ney u. German, the present
superintendent of schools of this
county, was their teacher.
Mr.. German says that the school
house in which he taught and the
one in which Mr.. Meyer and his sis
ter went to school, is now owned by
John w. Collier, who formerly
lived in this part of the territory,
and that now this house has been
moved by him east of the town of
Estancia to be used for n farm
house. The old house has been re-
placed by a good modern school
building.
These rapid changes show how
things do move in New Mexico.

Silver City Normal.

What is probably the largest at
tendance at any sumtler normal
school ever held in the territory is
the record of the summer term Of
the New Mexico Normal School
which convened Monday in this city.
The present enrolment is SO with
more coming on every train, so that
il is safe to predict the attendance
will reach 100 if it does not exceed
that number. Special conveyances
in charge of n member of the facul-
ty, have met each train and convey
ed the teachers to the Normal
School where they have been pro-
vided quarters in the two dormitor-
les. Every section of New Mexico
is represented, even the Pecos valley
sending a large delegation. Ration,
at the extreme northern edge of the
territory, has several in attendance,
while other portions of the territory
are literally represented. - Enter

Engineers, instructor in Tulane
University at New Orleans and

favored Deming with n visit Satur-

GRAPHIc's prosperity edition. He
was shown several of our pumping
plants and a large area of valley

of drainage would probably never
cause us serious anxiety, and was
very much delighted with our
pumping possibilities and inexhaust-
ible supply of 99.9S pure water,
He made several photographs and
will render an official report that
will be extremely favorable to this

If any one doubts for minute
that the Chamber of Commerce and
their associate boosters are not
bringing good people to the valley
all that will be necessary is to look
at Commissioners McKeyes' map,
which shows, for instance, practi-
cally every foot of land for twelve
miles south of the Deming city lin
its is owned by representative cit-
zens, and much of II operated by
the owners or their agents.
That we're getting classy, there is
not the slightest room for doubt.
And its the most natural thing in
the world, too.
People want good water to drink
and we have millions Of gallons Of
the purest in all the world. The
people want rich soil, and they have
here the cream of any in the United
States and when il comes to climate
we have every other section beaten
at least a city block. Some people
who are freezing to death in the
north now, say we have them two
blocks to the good.
That's the reason why people Of
intelligence are coming here in
preference to any other section in
the Union.
