E&h Cinderella.
By DOROTHY DIX.

-HE other day the newspapers
printed a pathetic little story
about a middle-aged woman who
died of starvation in Philadel-
phia, a martyr to her mistaken belief
that she was great artist.
The woman had some talent. She
could draw fairly well, and was offered
a comfortable salary TO make ilustra-
tions for advertisements, but she
scorned to debase what she thought
was her genius by doing commercial
work, and, as the pictures she painted
had no real artistic value. she literally
perished of want.
She esteemed herself a second Whls-
tier, and believed that if she only per-
sisted long enough she would paint
some great picture that the world
would recognize and applaud. So for
thirty years, from girlhCod to prema-
tureLold age, she toiled on, hoping
against hope, steeling herself against
disappointment after dlSappolntnlent'
loveless, homeless, husbandless' chllu-
less, comfortless, joyless weary, worn,
this superhuman struggle was failure In
the end, and a lonely death in mar
row bed in a public hospital.

that the pupils who have learned
the common school branches are
better fitted to use machinery than
the illiterate laborers who have
served long apprenticeships, and as
for the pupils who have learned the
high school course of study. they
are out of sight of the pupils who
have completed only the three RS

The high school pupils furnish a far

There are acts which were never
seen in America until this show
opened its season of 1911, for the
reason that there was no amuse-

afford the large salaries which the
artists demand and no institution
with sufficient prestige to attract the
attention of such celebrated per-

to Know How Deming
Delivers the Goods.
DEPT OF BOOSTING

Deming is surely making a stir in
the world. Her live advertising
methods have become known all
over the United States. We have
made a success in boosting and the
great educational centers want to
know how It's done. They are alive
TO the fact that the Greater South
west" is getting greater every min
ute and II is some satisfaction to
them TO know how the game is play
ed.
The University of Michigan is the
first large institution Of learning TO
organize class for the purpose of
studying the different present-day
methods of successful boosters, in
order that the nearly 60O0 young
people in attendance shall be in
formed concerning actual dyed-in-
the-wool success.
In order to get at the heart of
the matter letter was addressed
to the Editor of the GRAPHIC asking
for complete information as to
Deming's methods of publicity,
complimenting us with the state
ment that we are recognized as a
live, progressive town.
The committee desired back num-
bers of the GRAPHIC, booklets, cir
culars, maps and all other forms of
legitimate boosting, all of which
were cheerfully furnished. and
which we hope will be the means Of
starting many other towns on the
road to progress.
Of course Deming has advantages
that few other town possess, but
they can get the spirit.

Looks Good to Iowan.

Frank Runbeck and family, who
recently moved here from Des
Moines, Iowa, have decided to not
only improve their fine farm near
Carne, but in addition thereto have
purchased ten acres of the Little
Vineyards Co, and will at once erect
a residence thereon. IF a man
can't make a living on ten acres of
Mimbres Valley land, he can't do il
any place in the world" said Mr..
Runbeck to the GRAPHIC. "Iexpect
to make a lot more than a living"
And who is there to say his state
ment is not absolutely correct?

Judge Pennington Boosted
Deming.

On his recent visit to Albuquer-
que, where he went to assist in or
ganizing a postmasters' association,
attend the big state fair and partic.
ipate in the Shriners' parade, Judge
Pennington took occasion to do a
lot of boosting on the side. In an
interview with the Herald he is
quoted as follows:
Mr.. Pennington who has lived in
Deming since ii was a small village,
and who has seen the town grow
from a few houses to a modern little
city, and who has seen the country
around Deming develop from cattle
ranges into first-class farms, is en-
thusiastic over the prospects for the
growth of the town and surround
ing country.
Deming is certainly prosper
ous,' said Mr.. Pennington. The
development of the town and ada
cent country is being realized so
rapidly, that it often confuses the
old-timers. Last Sunday my wife
and took a drive about the coun-
try and were greatly surprised at
conditions. For fifteen miles in all
directions. the land has been taken
up and is being developed. There
is apparently an inexhaustible water
supply from the underground flow. "

Are You Still Paying Rent?

Some old philosopher said, The
mills will never grind with the water
that is past" This is very true,
and let us say right here that the
money that you are paying out for
rent, month after month, will never
build you a home.
Why no. start right now and
build your own home, have things
as you want them do things as you
have longed to do.
We will build you a home and let
you pay for 1t on the monthly pay
ment plan (about like rent) only it
will look a lot better to you at the
end of a few years. Which would
you rather have. a deed or lot of
rent receipts? It's up to you.

city had been made many degrees bright

Another Good Step.

IN our issue of January e. we re-
iterated some of the arguments in favor
of the election of United States Senators
by popular vote. and called attention
again TO the widespread demand for this
reform. On the 9Th. the Senate Commit
tc, on the Judiciary decided to report
favorabl. the resolution providing for a
pose. 1t is understood that Senator
Borah has been authorized to present the
committees report to the Senate. and
that he will do so at an early date.
IL is hoped that no dilatory tactics
will be employed to prevent a vote upon
the resolution at this session. This is
the first time Senate committee has
ever reported favorably a resolution upon
this matter, and the people desire that
all of the members of the Senate shall
have the opportunity. both by their
speeches and their votes. to express
their views upon this all-important dues-
ton. or course. other matters Of great
Importance will demand the attention Of
session. hut there is none upon which
public interest is So warmly focused as
this 1t has long been claimed by the
advocates of the change that the Senate
itself was the chief stumbling g-block to
its adoption. and a persistent ignoring
or sidetracking of similar resolutions
which have repeatedly come over from
the House has given color to this charge.
The time has now arrived for d full and
fair discussion Of the matter and its de-
cson by the Senate.
We can see no necessity for any fur
ther delay. but there is every reason why
the Senate should promptly and decisive
ly dispose of this resolution at this ses-
sion. Should the Senate vote il down. il
would be only another argument that the
upper House of our National Legislature
is no longer responsive to the popular
will. When Senatorial primaries have
been established in all of the States,

Free Medical Service.

Among the perquisites which are en-
joyed bv officers of the military naval
establishment is that of medical atten-
ton without cost to themselves. under
certain reasonable restrictions. which
must necessarily be geographical in char
acter to some extent. according to a de-
cision now rendered by the Comptroller
OF the Treasury in the case of an officer
OF the corps of constructors Of the navy.
That officer was on duty at the navy
yard at Brooklyn. n. Y, and lived over
in New Jersey at a place known as Engle-
physician. and he now asks that the
government reimburse him for the fee
paid to that civilian doctor. on the theory
evidently. that he was entitled to official
medical attendance or its equivalent. 1t
seems from the correspondence submitted
in this case that the naval surgeon. who
would ordinarily be called in and who
was also attached to the New York Navy
Yard. was not available in this case of
! emergency. as he slept somewhere in
depending on the professional services of
the other living remote from their sta
ton. and presumably in opposite direc-
tions it had been carefully figured out
that the expense incurred by the officer
needing medical attention should be
borne by the government.
The Comptroller's rejection of the claim
must be commended. on the ground that
otherwise 1t would furnish a precedent
which would place upon the government
the expense Of medical attendance
| for army and navy officers under
any possible circumstances. and this can
not reasonably be expected. II a naval
officer live at a distance from his sta
tion. for his personal comfort, it would
seem only proper that he take the chances
OF being similarly separated from the
governmental gratuity of medical service.
It is. therefore. entirely within the
bounds Of reason when the Comptroller
holds that the naval officer should have
been within reasonable distance of the
medical resources Of the navy yard which
are placed at his disposal. More than
! that. the doubt cast upon the ability to

reach the surgeon at night because the
medical officer ''slept somewhere in Long
Island is dismissed by the Comptroller
with the statement that no attempt hav-
ing been made to reach him. that phase
Of the question is not in issue.
1t is the part Of wisdom to check the
tendency to impose all sorts Of expense
on the government. 1t ought to be pretty
we'll known by this time by army and
navy officers exactly what they are en-
titled to in the way of free medical atten-
ton. and unless an officer is disabled IN
the line Of his duty he should be prepared
to stand the cost of medical attention
when he is taken suddenly i'll and must
call in the civilian physician. The Comp
