unusually brilliant serappe, or
blanket, but generally with the Red
Flaggers there is little distinction
in appearances since they have not
access to government uniforms or
arms, except as the latter are captur-
ed, and of course they would scorn
the uniform. And while the battle
was accompanied with about the
same number of fatalities as the
Strike at Lawrence the surrender
was complete and the four hundred
soldiers hold the captured town in
the hollow of their hands. Business
that fell for the demand in dollars
and cents still continues. The firm
I that handed over one Thousand dollars
tribute does business at the old stand,
the one that refused to fall for the
amount fell any way. The prevailing
principle with the Red Flaggers
evidently may be spelled with four
letters But you could not
expect that people who had been
exposed to civilization for hundreds
of years and still remained immune
could cherish a high code of ethics.
And yet there are worse people.
They certainly are not money mad.
But with those people it is always
pleasure before business and just now
war is their pleasure. They wrecked
their spleen on the post office, of
course, because it was a government
building. The church was unscathed
except for afew stray shots; it belong
ed to the people, Railroad ties and
cement bags furnished sufficient
barricade for so methodical a people
and the man with his hand grenade,
improvised from an old tin can was
dangerous enough to give the oncom-
ing enemy, who spoke his own
language, food for thought.
In the center of the town, in lieu
of daily paper, and there is none
the fairy tale told by the news
butcher on the train, some hugh bill
boards tell the news of the day. A
most alluring bull fight was posted
for Sunday the 3Ist. of March, but
we are not allured. Four especially
wild bulls were engaged from the
renowned haciendaS of Zacetecas.
Now we would ask again what about
the ethical standards and ideals of a
people whose national pastimes are
t.2if fights and cock fights2
And yet economically they are
called a menace to labor over at Ell
Paso. Laboring men complain bitterly
about coming into competition with
labor that can exist and satisfy its
ambitions on something like two bits
a day, and lay by the rest of the dollar
for war supplies. One young man
'confeSSed, as we were coming over
that he was stranded and could not
get away. Had been loafing for months
on a mere Substance and could not
get away from it. "Well, / should
not stand it, L would get up some
fine morning and simply walk away

Not a Fad...But a Fact.

Suburban homes its getting so
that the daily papers are loaded
with big ads. calling attention to
suburban homes. This is not fad
by any means. il il because the peo-
pie are coming to see the advan-
tages gained by living on a small
tract Of land. where they can do as
they please, the easy outdoor life
fits them better; they like it. We
have already sold nearly one hun
dred Of these tracts, and still have
u few choice ones left. These little
farms are right up against the
townsite of Deming and when any
person, from any state in the union,
thinks of a suburban home, we
want him to think of US. Why?
Because our little farms are adjoin-
ing the livest town in the richest
valley in the SUNSHINE state. Our
method of selling and particulars
as to our easy contract will be ex'
planned If you write or call. Home

They Say Climate of New
Mexico is Unsurpassed in
Healthfulness
SEASONS WELL MARKED
Writers of Standard Text
Books Pay US Unusually
High Tribute.

Friends of New Mexico are some.
times charged with being optimists
when reference is made to our su.
perior advantages of climate and
health.
1t is probably fact that we do
get enthusiastic at times, but when
the Standard Biographies of the
United States, the authors of which
are absolutely unbiased, say nice
things about us, we feel more and
more justified in keeping alive the
boosting game until the world knows
the superior advantages we offer.
We copy the following, verbatim,
from one of the standard American
Biographies, the one in fact in gen.
eral use in public schools
The climate of New Mexico is
unsurpassed for healthfulness and
comfort, for, tho it is rs far south
as the Carolinas, the height of the
plateau and the influence of the nu-
merOus scattered chains of noun
tains prevent excessive heat and
tend to equalizc the temperature
thruout the year. While there are
no great extremes of temperature,
the four seasons. spring, summer,
autumn and winter. are well
marked. The air is pure, dry and
eyhilarating. The excessive sun
shine is so tempered that sun
strokes are unknown"

uOus, Johnnie would have been pro-
moted, Mary would have been grad
uated, Henry would have done moth
ing to merit expulsion. want to
say right here that too many par
ents use the school as a mere con-
venience to get rid of their children
for a certain member of hours per
day, leaving the tender parents
plenty of time to gad about and
swap gossip with their neighbors.
Such parents should not send their
children to school, they should hire
a guard for their brood.
The school authorities should ex-
pect constructive interest. Mere
denunciatiOn does not good, Theo-
dore Roosevelt to the contrary not
withstanding. Criticism must be
constructive. Continuous carping
merely irritates. and never cures.
There are too many people ready
to sit back and criticize. and too
few ready to come forward with
helpful suggestions and encourage
ment. There is not a human insti-
tuition in existence which is flaw
less, which does not have serious
defects. carp, nag, and criticise.
For instance suppose the coopera-
ton between parents and teachers
in the Deming schools is not what
it should be. An enemy of the
school will nag and stir up all the
dissension possible in this connec-
ton. A true friend of the school
would go to work and organize a
Mothers Club to cooperate with the
teachers of the schools. This is an
instance of what mean by con-
structive criticism. and brings me
to the last division of my subject,
namely organized interest.
There used to be an old fellow in
town where | taught who manifes-
ted his interest in the schools by
frequent visits. He was likely to
descend upon you at any time, take
his seat in the corner. and butt into
your recitation in the most inoppor-
tune moments. This is a very dis
concerting form for interest in the
schools to take, and it does no good,
The patrons of any school system
should he organized in some way.
The most effective form of organi.
cation is the Mothers Club. All
teachers should he ex-oflicio men
bers. There should be regular
meetings and general educational

The history of this responder. is,

The river at this point. especially at

while in the performance OF his
duties, Mclaughlin has rescued prob

purpose. He is absolutely fearless

rapids TO save another, even though,

failure is appetite for whisky and in

REFINERS FINANCE
FIGHT FOR FREE SUGAR

WASHINGTON. April 12-Frank c.
Lowry OF the Federal Sugar Refining
company OF New York, testifying be-
fore the senate hnance committee
yesterday on the house free sugar
bill. admitted that the company
which he represented was paying for
the free sugar propaganda and were
leading advocates Of the measure. He
agreed with Republican members
that enactment Of the bill would wipe
out the entire domestic production OF
sugar.
Ever since the finance committee
began hearings on the measure Mr.
Lowry and the company he repre-
sents have been attacked for their ad-
vocacy OF free sugar. Many wit
nesses have told the committee that
the refineries were behind the move
ment for free sugar and arraigned
them in such scathing terms that Mr.
Lowry recently asked the committees
permission to reply TO the attacks.
